The facilities are generally well-received, with the property being equipped for large groups. However, some guests mentioned the lack of secure fencing for dogs and the absence of certain amenities, which slightly impacts the score.

Carne Mill is an outstanding residence in an enviable waterside position at the head of Gillan Creek close to the Helford River, Manaccan and Gillan. Overlooking a serene tree lined tidal creek flourishing with wildlife, and with views from most of the rooms, it sits on the water's edge offering plenty of opportunities to simply sit back and unwind. The mill has its own tidal quay, extensive gardens and woodlands, with a garden laid to lawn, a pretty stream, vegetable garden and fruit trees and a private granite terrace at the rear. Superbly spacious and flexible for large parties, this luxurious residence is split with the main house sleeping eight, and catering for twelve, and the adjoining self-contained apartment sleeping four. Beautifully restored the main house has been finished and equipped to the highest specification. The kitchen has a flat screen TV and 1100 Range Master induction cooker along with every conceivable cooking appliance and boasts the latest high-tech devices and aesthetics throughout. The house is arranged over three and a half levels, with a hand-crafted oak staircase, feature lighting and a glass ceiling providing access to a bespoke integrated kitchen/diner on the lower ground floor; a 30 ft sitting room with wood burning stove and panoramic views over the creek. On the second floor there are two well appointed bedrooms (one with a generous private balcony), a WC and utility room on the raised ground floor and a further two bedrooms with creek views and a luxury family bathroom on the upper floor. Accessed from the rear, the apartment features a living room and a well-equipped integrated kitchen with creek views, two bedrooms with views over the garden and a family bathroom. If you can bear to tear yourself away from this gorgeous house, there are walks, beaches and creeks to explore in this area alone, with boats to hire at nearby St Anthony. Carne Mill is perfect for larger families and groups of friends looking for a little luxury in a tranquil setting and equally perfect at any time of year.

Stayed with family of 12 for 2 weeks from 24th August. Will definitely return. Many thanks to Jenny and Pippa for their support and hospitality.

Ideal for our 3 generation families with riverside access for paddle boarding & kayaking or quiet countryside walks.

There were 10 in our party and the layout worked brilliantly for us. Granny and grandad had the flat so that was perfect for them, their own quiet space. The grounds are gorgeous and being next to a creek. We definitely made use of the in coming tides with paddle boards and kayaks! We didn't have dogs with us, but one of our party has a dog allergy so they did appriciate the dog policy of keeping them in the kitchen during the stay. Pippa is very helpful and understanding and we thank her for letting other families enjoy her beautiful home. We would definitely recommend Carne Mill for a quiet, beautiful and tranquil holiday.
