The Old Mill in Millook, Cornwall, South West England

The Old Mill, Millook, Cornwall, South West England

Sleeps 4
Weekly prices from £336 to £ 695

Self catering accommodation in Millook sleeps 4.

Accommodation overview: A wonderful 17th Century character cottage, formerly a water millhouse, just yards from Millook beach, where sheer cliffs tower above the pebbled beach and small rock pools are revealed at low tide.

Set in a large grassy paddock with a stream running parallel to it, the front door opens into an entrance lobby with an adjacent simple kitchen and pantry area, and in one corner a 4 step ladder leads up to a cabin style children's bedroom with a little window overlooking the 38 ft mill wheel. Two steps up from the kitchen lead to a traditionally furnished cosy beamed living room with a large fireplace and remains of a cloam oven, simple white washed stone walls and a dining area with peaceful views over the garden.

To one side, a heavy carved door salvaged from a shipwreck in the 1800s leads to an additional smaller sitting room with comfortable seating and views of the sea. A bathroom W.C. with vanity basin and shower over bath can be reached via a few steps down from the living room, and an open tread irregularly shaped staircase leads directly up to the master attic bedroom with a 4ft 6inch double bed, a cross beamed ceiling, calming sea views and an extra single chair bed for alternative sleeping arrangements.

The renovated 3 ton mill wheel operates twice daily as an essential part of its preservation. The elderly or infirm may find the low curving beams, uneven floors and stairs a little difficult, and due to the proximity of the running water, toddlers will require supervision in the garden.

The nearest pub is 1.5 miles, and the spectacular sands of Widemouth Bay with a small grocery store are 2 miles away. Crackington Haven is about 5 miles and Bude 6 miles.

Please note:
No TV reception.  Not suitable for children under 8 or children/adults requiring supervision.

Torquil Cottage in Trebetherick, Cornwall, South West England

Torquil Cottage, Trebetherick, Cornwall, South West England

Sleeps 9
Weekly prices from £941 to £ 2

Self catering accommodation in Trebetherick sleeps 9.

Accommodation overview: Set in a wonderful position just 200 yards from sheltered sandy Daymer Bay, this charming detached house of great character is set at the end of the lane to the beach in the small village of Trebetherick, midway between Rock and Polzeath.  One of the oldest dwellings in the parish, Torquil Cottage was originally two ancient cottages which were later joined together and extended, and is now a much loved, traditionally furnished family home

A slate path runs all along the front of the house from which the front door opens into a small entrance hall.  To one side is a sunny drawing room with lounge seating arranged before the fireplace and a step down leads to a garden room with patio furniture.  A central dining room with the original slate flagstones has a larder and a glazed exterior door, and at the rear is a fitted kitchen with an oil fired Aga for cooking, and access to the garden. 

To complete the ground floor accommodation, a snug makes an ideal children’s playroom with a door in one corner opening to a second enclosed staircase.  From the hall, a wooden turning staircase leads up to the first floor where there are five simply furnished bedrooms and two bathrooms with W.C.’s, one with a shower over the bath

There are two double bedrooms with 5ft beds, a twin bedroom with a concealed staircase leading down to the snug, a bunk bedroom with sturdy 3ft pine bunks and a small children’s room with a 2ft 6in single bed and a glimpse of the sea.  Care is needed throughout the property as there are low beams, doorways and headroom on the staircase. 

There is a large, sheltered and landscaped garden to the rear with wide lawns, shrubs and hedges; the garden is enclosed when the garage is closed.  An outbuilding provides a useful laundry area, with garden W.C. and shower facilities and there is a drive-through garage (clearance 6ft 6in high x 7ft 6in wide) which leads to a slate-chipped parking area with space for 3 cars

There is a seasonal beach shop 2 minutes’ walk away, a café/restaurant at the top of the hill and Trebetherick village store and newsagent less than half a mile away.  Daymer Bay is an all year dog friendly beach; at low tide the sand stretches as far south as Rock where a foot ferry operates to the harbour town of Padstow

Polzeath, 1 mile, has wetsuit/surf hire, local shops and a waterfront bar & grill, and Rock, 2.5 miles, offers sailing and watersport facilities, and a range of independent shops.  There are golf courses at St Enodoc and The Point 2 miles respectively and St Enodoc Church is nearby where Sir John Betjeman is buried.  The town of Wadebridge, 7 miles, has a good selection of shops, a sports centre, cinema, and bike hire to explore the Camel Trail.
