Mill House Reviews

What a fantastic cottage for families! Superbly equipped with everything we needed and literally a mountain of freshly baked scones with jam and cream to greet us on arrival. We took our 2 and 11 year old grandchildren and they loved going to feed the chickens and count the eggs every day when we got home. So much to see and do close by, we managed two days at the Eden project, Restormel castle, Heligan and Porfell wildlife sanctuary just around the corner. Very comfy beds and pillows and the constantly on Aga was great to come home to now the weather is getting chillier. Will definitely visit again.
The cottage was beautiful, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was amazing! It had everything we needed and more. The garden, balcony and decking was just lovely and fortunately we had the best weather to enjoy it all, also the dogs loved it all enclosed thankfully. The owners were lovely and friendly, we were welcomed with beautiful homemade cake.
We absolutely loved our stay at Mill House. Such a spacious living space for all 9 of us and the large enclosed garden was a brilliant area for the children to play. The owner Chris kindly organised horse riding with some of the beautiful horses at the farm and the girls who looked after us all were just amazing! Comfortable beds made for an excellent nights sleep for us all and three bathrooms made it super easy for us all to get ready for the day ahead. We would love to return, thank you so much for a fantastic holiday! The Jacksons and Girlings xx
We absolutely loved our stay at mill house! The sweet treats on arrival was wonderful. My pup very much enjoyed the farm atmosphere even though she was scared of sheep. The house was lovely and clean and just beautiful. Thank you so much for having us.
This is our third time staying at Menaburle Farm, but our first in the Mill House. The house was spotlessly upon arrival, with a marvellous selection of homemade cakes, scones with cream and jam, milk in the fridge and cartoons of juice for the children. The reverse layout of living accommodation on the ground floor worked well, even with us and my brother and sister in laws family with us, it wasnt cramped. The rooms are all a very good size, with the added bonus of a washing machine and tumble drier too. An open plan kitchenliving room upstairs was good and the kitchen was exceptionally well furnished with utensils, easily the best we have ever stayed in. The garden is massive and self enclosed, which was ideal to open the doors and let the children play without any worry of where they might go. Even with 9 of us, there was plenty of space and we didnt feel penned in. Vicki and Chris are amazing owners and are very generous with their time. The children were able to go out with them to look around the farm, help with the animals, feed the chickens. A real highlight for the children was going horse riding, which wasnt a rushed event, the children getting lots of time each to ride. Its an ideal base for exploring Cornwall, especially the beautiful beaches and villages on the South coast, with Looe and Fowey both only being short drives away. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Mill House.
We had an amazing week at the cottage, the owners were on hand to ask questions but not intrusive. Having a field on site to take our dog round was a great bonus. We loved seeing all the lambs, cows and horses. We would love to stay again

Wonderful stay at Mill House for a celebration of my mother's 60th birthday. Chris, the owner, greeted us on arrival and he was just so lovely. And there was home made cake on the kitchen top. The farm is brilliant there are cows, horses, hens. We had fresh eggs everyday The cottage is spacious, clean and the garden is huge! Brilliant for our little dog. Also did a couple of bbqs using the grill. Great location, we went to Looe, Polperro, Fowey, Polkerris Beach, Lost Gardens of Heligan. Highly recommend and we would stay again. Thank you for the warm hospitality Chris & Vicki.
The bathrooms en sleeping rooms were very moisty! Mushrooms were growing rapidly. The bedrooms smelled like rotting wood and carpet. This was a structural problem. We have feedbacked the owner but he ignored our complaint. We will send you a seperate mail with photographs
I have been holidaying in Cornwall for over 50 years and I can honestly say this is one of the best. The location was amazing. It was peaceful, quite and very comfortable. The pictures certainly dont do it justice. We will definitely be back again. The treats left for us were also a lovely surprise and just what was needed after the car journey from Stoke on Trent. Thank you for letting us share your beautiful spot in Cornwall.
We stayed at Mill House in May 2024 with my elderly parents and our four young children. The bedrooms are a great size, two with ensuites and a main bathroom with bath. One double room also has a dressing room by the ensuite which has a single bed and room for a cot which was perfect for our baby. There's also a door from this room out into the garden. The upstairs is lovely, with gorgeous wooden beams and an aga, which was lovely as it was a bit chilly. Plenty of seating and a small balcony for warmer mornings or evenings. Possibly the best equipped kitchen we've had during a UK stay too. The garden is gorgeous with views over the farm and fields of horses. If it had been warmer we would have enjoyed BBQs every evening and a cuppa on the deck in the morning. The garden is secure and our dogs were able to roam free though we recommend supervision as one did get under the gate a few times. The owners and people at the farm we're incredible and made this holiday! They couldn't do enough and even drove me and the kids around the entire farm to meet the new calves and lambs. They got to feed lambs and calves every day with bottles as well as feed the chickens and collect eggs which were available to buy too. My daughter got to help with some horses and even had a ride and jump she's an expert rider. The location is great, 20 mins to the nearest beach, 30 mins to most others. We did some lovely coastal walks and the owners had great tips on eateries and places to go. We cannot recommend Mill House highly enough!

Lovely holiday cottage. Peaceful surroundings, we loved the sounds of the farm at work. The Aga kept us cosy in October. Internet can be a bit patchy, and no Vodafone coverage, so need to plan your days out in advance.
Finding the property was good, the post code took us directly there. Good parking, right outside the property. We were met by the owner as we arrived, who went through a small induction of the facilities, which was good. The owners also left some scones and cream, which we all enjoyed. The mill was fully equipped in the kitchen, the ladys of the group were very impressed, and it was noted how clean things were. My daughter was impressed with the Aga ranger cooker for the cooking of meals, the Aga was on 247, this was great on the chilly mornings, but abit over powering on the really hot days, although there were lots of windows and doors to open. Every one we met on the farm were very friendly, especially all the ladys who were looking after the horses , they let the kids ride the horses, lead them to their paddocks, and some grooming. We liked to go for a walk in the evening, to say goodnight to the horses, we all had our particular favorites. The farm is a good base for the north of Cornwall, but be prepared to travel down really narrow lane, if you rely on satnav. Overall we can say that the accommodation has enhanced our week in Cornwall. Thanks Mill Cottage, and all who sail with her.
