Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the property's cleanliness, with fresh flowers and a well-maintained appearance. One isolated mention of wasp nests suggests a minor issue, but overall, the property is commended for its tidiness.
The Mill's location is frequently praised for its easy access to local attractions and peaceful setting. However, one review mentioned a non-existent local pub, slightly affecting the score.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the living spaces cosy. A single complaint about soft pillows and the layout challenges for a less mobile dog slightly lower the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, some maintenance issues like a semi-blocked sink, wasp nests, and hot water problems in one instance have been reported.
Many guests mention and appreciate the welcome gifts, which include cream teas and wine, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Superbly converted barn, which nestles among rich green fields, just four miles from Porthleven, one of Cornwalls coastal hot spots. This beautiful grade II listed barn is part of a pretty rural farmstead. With reverse living the superb open plan living room and kitchen span the first floor with an incredible vaulted ceiling and wood burner creating a lovely homely feel. The ground floor bedrooms offer flexibility with one with king size bed with en-suite shower room, one twin and one with a zip and link bed offering option of a 6' super king bed or a twin. High quality furnishings, crisp linens and soft towels complete the picture. Outside is a garden with patio as well as a larger garden area opposite which is great for childrens play. Just over a mile away is a friendly relaxed pub with a good food menu, catering for all tastes. Nearby Porthleven is the largest working harbour in Cornwall where boats land their daily catch and visitors can take a boat trip and try and catch their own. There is a sandy beach and lots of fantastic restaurants - fast becoming a foodie mecca, bespoke shops, galleries, oh and ice cream to enjoy. Follow the South West Coastal Path for amazing cliff top walks, fabulous scenery for happy memories. Praa Sands just ten minutes away; a firm favourite with all age groups, the beach is home to a surf school and beach shop providing wetsuit and surfboard hire. This is a tranquil location not far from the coast, villages and towns.
Porthleven is one of south west Cornwalls hidden coastal gems, located near Helston famous for its annual Flora Dance Festival. Situated between Lizard Point and Lands End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Cornish coastline. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the historic picturesque inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity.

We also rented Edwinâs View. The open plan upstairs layout was perfect for eating together as a big group and having lots of spaces for cosy chats. We challenged the kitchen space with large dinners and it met up to our requirements. It was very well equipped and we wanted for nothing. The bedrooms were spacious and comfy and the bathrooms met our needs. Outdoors the animal feeding/watching and the badminton/football space were very popular for all age groups and it was great for a base for cycling and running. Lots of parking space too. Weâre coming back! ASAP! Thank you.

It's a very spacious property. We loved the living/dining room and all the bedrooms had comfy beds and lots of room for all out bits and bobs! It was lovely to see the animals out of the kitchen window every morning. Just a shame the weather wasn't nice enough to make use of the garden! But it didn't spoil anything. We very much enjoyed our stay!
