“The cottage and location are absolutely fantastic, we had such a lovely holiday and being able to walk down to the stunning beach felt so special.”

The downside is that this property needs a full deep-clean. Everything felt just a little grubby, with the carpets full of dog hair and the tiles sticky underfoot. The lack of sofa's in the lounge meant this this was very much functional property rather than feeling very comfortable and was slightly disappointing for the price.

“It was a lovely surprise to find waiting for us at the cottage scones, jam and cream.”

It's a lovely secluded cottage with a large secluded garden. It was also well equipped. Bit of a nuisance having to trek downstairs in the middle of the night. Although the bed was very comfortable we didn't find the same with the chairs and personally would have preferred a two seater settee. The chairs reminded us of a dentists waiting room. It would have been nice to have had some heating in the bedroom at night as it got quite chilly . Our biggest concern was cleanliness. The windows need a really good clean and the glass tables in the living room were dusty and needed a wipe. While in the Bathroom i noticed that the skirting board looked grubby and wiped my finger along to find it covered with dust and fluff. Cottages are not cheap to rent and what with covid at least they should be ultra clean.

“If you are looking for a secluded spot in an idyllic location Mill Cottage is the perfect place to stay.”

The cottage is really lovely inside and out and the 10 minute walk to the beach was just the icing on the cake. We loved it.

“The Cottage was a treat, well placed for a peaceful retreat.”

Current photo doesn't do it justice as the furnishings have been renewed and are very comfy. Problem with towel rail which didn't come on creating slight problem with drying towels completely. Only impediment was that the bathroom and WC are located on the ground floor which did create a concern when having to make nighttime trips down the steep stairs when sleepy! Perhaps this could be mentioned in the description. Apart from this had a restful and much needed break.

“A hotter climates and foreign culture lover, I was forced to suffer a staycation, due to Covid and a dog with heart problems.”

My fiancé won’t use kennels through fear of losing our beloved four legged friend. Cornwall is beautiful, and a little cottage in the middle of nowhere was just what we needed. Cosy, quaint idyllic property with great grounds for the dogs, fairly central to all tourist hotspots. Clean comfortable, and the booking process was easy. We added names in the hope my son would visit for a couple of days, which sadly couldn’t happen. But Sykes staff addressed this request in minutes. And the forwarding of essential and non essential information of our stay was ultra efficient. I am won over and not only will we revisit this address but will also consider future locations with Sykes. Many thanks from us and our dogs!

“We had a lovely 2 weeks in Mill Cottage.”

I was initially a little worried about being on the Roseland Peninsula because of it being a little off the beaten track BUT that turned out to be a good thing and we soon got used to the small amount of extra travelling time - In fact we adapted our travel by using a couple of the local ferries. I could stand outside and literally not hear a man made sound. The beach was a beautiful 10 minute stroll from the front door and had everything a beach should have for a family. The cottage is nestled amongst some lovely over properties and gardens and was sparkling and clean when we arrived. COVID has had to have an impact on this summer but it didn’t spoil our holiday in Veryan - we felt safe and well looked after and everything that had been done in Mill Cottage was logical and proportional for the current situation. We enjoyed our holiday so much that we’ve already booked to go back next year.

“A perfect location if you have dogs - totally secure and so easy for walking them either in the garden for a quick pit stop or down to the beach.”

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped although not the warmest! We initially had ants coming in but blocked the hole up and then it was fine. Also, you have to be vigilant that you have shut the fridge properly as on several occasions we noticed the door was open. We had a brilliant stay and would highly recommend this cottage.

“Lovely position with beautiful surroundings, however, my husband and I both got bitten by bugs of some description each night despite having the windows closed and being inside, the children were fine, leading us to assume it was something in the master bedroom.”

Although not the owners fault at all, the neighbours were very loud, we woke to the sound of their shouts on several occasions (before 7am) The proximity to Pendower beach was its selling point and we all skipped down the track each evening joyfully.

“It was a chilly week in Cornwall but there is no way to control the electric radiators.”

Strangely, the bathroom radiator came on in the night only, when you need it in the morning for comfort and to dry towels. Upstairs radiators did not come on at all. Hall radiator did not come on for most of week and then only at night. Bath outlet was blocked when we first used it.

“PERFECT IN EVERY WAY”

Mr Jordan April 2019

“The location of the cottage was perfect, very quiet and a short walk to a small beach, dog friendly so perfect for dog walking and the pathway through the woods was delightful.”

The description of the cottage was good, but did not explain the proximity of the other cottages, we were led to believe they shared the same area, but not directly next doors, although it was not a problem. The cottage was good and all facilities functional, however the electric shower was practically useless as the flow was a mere dribble and from the noise made by the shower would seem that it has become nearly blocked by calcium deposits. It was a very pleasant surprise to be met with a tray of fresh scones, jam and cream.... very welcome after a long drive.

“I had a lovely stay at Mill Cottage.”

It was in a beautiful and peaceful location, with the beach just a ten minute walk away. The property was well equipped with everything you may need. The enclosed courtyard and small garden was perfect for my dog who could wander round safely. I would definitely stay there again.

The property

This delightful detached Cornish cottage on the Roseland Peninsula is situated approximately 1/4 mile down a private lane, one of three properties in a secluded wooded valley.

Just a 10 minute, streamside traffic free walk or a couple of minutes by car will bring you to the sandy National Trust beach of Pendower, which is also dog friendly all year round. Mill Cottage is Just 1 mile from the centre of the pretty village of Veryan, which has a Post Office/store and a 16th Century pub which serves good food and quality ales.

Why not go for afternoon tea at the Nare Hotel which is just a peaceful 10 minute walk or lunch at Melinsey Mill less than 5 minutes away by car.

The gardens at Heligan are just a 10 minute car journey and well worth a visit.

This cosy cottage has a compact open plan living area with kitchen at one end and stone fireplace for open fires at the other.

At the front is a very sheltered and sunny enclosed patio. Access to the property is via a narrow lane.

With two other cottages close by and surrounded by acres of National Trust woodland, this is an extremely peaceful spot.

Here one can go to sleep with the owls and wake up with the pheasants!

This is an ideal location for coastal and woodland walks and for the nature lover wildlife abounds. Adjacent to the cottage there are 4 acres of private gardens for guests and owners use only (owner rarely there).

Immediately adjacent to the cottage is an area of lawn bordered with a stream, continuing down the valley through the rhododendron garden to a wild life area with open ponds and streams (formerly part of the water Mill collecting the water from springs on the valley side).

There are also two acres of woodland which rise up the side of the valley.

The entrance is fenced and gated, children and dogs should be supervised within the grounds.
