Bounded by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea, the area is deeply rural and designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a good range of shops and pubs, while close by are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you to Plymouth. Along the southern edges of the peninsula are miles of beautiful walks with glorious views of Rame Head. Just a mile south of Millbrook lies Whitsand Bay with its miles of uncrowded sandy rnli patrolled beach and dramatic cliffs. A superb base for discovering the wild side of Cornwall.

    Great wifi. Some notes for the owner: - lightbulbs need replacing with low-energy ones, some are missing altogether - we couldn't make subtitles work on the TV - info about recycling / rubbish would be useful - heating controller needs new batteries (I fitted one to make it just work) - most importantly the exterior woodwork needs some protection applied urgently to prevent deterioration

  • Mark

    Couldn’t fault the property at all.

  • Michael

    The lodge was clean and comfortable. Decor and fittings are showing their age a little.
