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.

Cove Cottage, St Mawes, Cornwall, South West England

Sleeps 4
Weekly prices from £414 to £ 1

Self catering accommodation in St Mawes sleeps 4.

Accommodation overview: A delightful terraced cottage set back from the Idle Rocks Hotel and just 50 yards from the sea in the attractive harbourside village of St Mawes, with inverted accommodation to fully appreciate the glorious views across the Fal Estuary as far as Pendennis Point.

Approached by a shared driveway where there are reserved parking spaces, half a dozen railed steps lead down to a courtyard and the front door, which opens to a spacious ground floor hallway. Leading off the hallway is a light and attractive kingsize bedroom with an en-suite shower room W.C. with hand basin and a glazed door with two steps down to a lovely railed sun terrace where you can absorb all the sounds of the boats entering the harbour and the birdlife circling overhead.

A short flight of stairs leads up to a clean and crisp bedroom with full size 3ft bunk beds and a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and a half size bath tub. From the hall a carpeted staircase winds up to a bright and sunny gallery style living room with an electric flicker flame fire with slate hearth. There are superb panoramic and stunning views of the sea, estuary and harbour from both the full length french door and other windows. Off to one side, a couple of steps lead up to a large, recently refurbished and well equipped fitted kitchen which enjoys the same superb views of the sea.

There is a good collection of pubs and restaurants plus local shops all within a few minutes walk down a short fairly steep hill, as is a selection of small south facing beaches with a sailing club. A regular passenger ferry service operates to Falmouth, and another which crosses the Percuil River to St Anthony runs in the summer months. The 15th Century St Mawes Castle standing in a sub tropical garden is close at hand and there are also lovely waterside paths following the banks of the estuary which eventually reach the picturesque church at St Just in Roseland.
