“We had a fabulous time the location was Superb we would love to return back one day.”

Thank you

- Mrs Walsh, September 2021
Thompson September 2021

“A nice house with plenty of space.”

Nice garden and quiet. The beach isn't far away and shops and pub only 15 minute walk. WiFi wasn't great especially with teenagers, stopped working and slow. There is a slight smell of damp which wasn't a problem for us. After saying that I enjoyed it.

Had an amazing family holiday 9 adults and 4 grandchildren

Mrs Chamberlain June 2021

“Damp accommodation that does not match the description or pictures on the site.”

Lights not working on the landing, kitchen equipment was dirty and on stripping the beds as advised, the horror of badly stained mattresses. I will be following this up with an official complaint as this is not anywhere near a 4 star property which it is advertised as. Also a health hazard due to the bat colony that roost in the neighbouring building and the bat droppings they deposit in abundance . Would be problem but it is at the entrance to the property which means you are walking it directly into the kitchen.

- Mrs Chamberlain, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we take this very seriously. Please accept our apologies for the presence of bat droppings. We do indeed have bats roosting under the eaves of the adjacent property and we clean the droppings away regularly, but will do this more frequently following your comments. As you know, bats are a protected species, and we are unable to move them. With regard to your other comments, we were unaware there was an issue with the mattress, and surprised as it has recently been replaced. We will of course rectify this asap and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We do check the lights on changeover so I can only apologise if this bulb was missed. Finally, heating is available and we hope that guests will feel free to use this to feel comfortable during their stay. Property Owner
Mr Taylor September 2020

“Charming lovely old farm house full of character and nooks and crannies.”

Beautiful sea views not far from the house which boasts a large peaceful garden.

- Mr Taylor, September 2020
Mr Frankling September 2020

“The owners of the property were very nice people and extremely approachable.”

- Mr Frankling, September 2020
Mrs Abslom August 2020

“Apart from all the issues leading up to the holiday (communication with Sykes) the cottage seemed great on arrival.”

Unfortunately it soon became clear that the floors downstairs although had been washed (they were still wet) and smelt clean, were in fact filthy. After wiping up a spilt drink, the cloth turned black! It was then the same when we wiped the kitchen table- dirty again! If the place had taken nine hours to clean, this shouldn't have happened, not should we have found playing cards and Lego under one if the sofas in the playroom. There was a feeling of damp in most of the rooms and as the week went on, the damp smell got worse and the books we'd left in the play room were actually damp right through by the time we left. It was such a shame as the cottage was a great size and great location and we would have booked again, but I can't expect my parents and children to stay in such a damp house. It really needs sorting out!

- Mrs Abslom, August 2020
Mr Best August 2020

“Despite not being permitted into the property till 6pm due to the understandable extra cleaning required during these Covid 19 times, there were a number of issues with overall cleanliness especially with kitchen utensils needing to be washed before use.”

The owners were very helpful and provided very useful information on arrival. The enclosed garden was a massive hit for all the children and indeed the whole family. The local beach is stunning and the reserved parking at the top of the hill was a blessing. Edgcumbe Park is a must to visit and provided hours of entertainment for the whole family.

- Mr Best, August 2020
Ms Sasson July 2020

“We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful house.”

big and comfortable for 2 families with 5 children ranging in age, lovely situated with an easy access to a unique beach and a nearby village. the host is very nice. highly recommended!!!

- Ms Sasson, July 2020
Mrs Twist July 2020

“The farm house was ideal for the family ( 12 in total with 6 children, five of whom were 7 and under).”

The garden was large and safe for the children to play in and for all of us to sit and relax. The children loved playing in it . The dedicated car parking for Tregonhawke Farmhouse, at the top of Donkey Lane, was a bonus- a number of cars parked incorrectly on the road at the top of Treganhawke bay, were given parking tickets!!! A small suggestion would be the provision of a second TV somewhere in the house. The TV with DVD in the playroom was great for the children but no free view available on it and WiFi could be improved. However the weather was lovely and little tv watching was carried out. Free fishing, as advertised when we booked, was not available.

- Mrs Twist, July 2020
Mrs Laramy October 2019

“The farmhouse is perfect for large families,Ten of us went, three generations including four children between five and thirteen and a dog.”

A lovely location, good kitchen facilities and a boot room. We loved it.

- Mrs Laramy, October 2019
Mrs Townend September 2019

“We were a group of six friends on a walking holiday.”

We all wanted our own beds, if not our own bedrooms. Tregonhawke gave us plenty of space, good bathrooms facilities and an excellent kitchen for our communal cooking. There was good parking, plenty of hot water and a TV which worked without resorting to multiple controls! The only downside was the lack of a drying room for our ( very) wet walking gear at the end of the day and no central heating controls, other than a thermostat which did not seem to activate the heating.

- Mrs Townend, September 2019

The heating is set on auto at 21 degrees. The property has a tumble drier and there is a line outside. The owners live on site and are happy assist guests to make any adjustments which may be required. Property Owner
Dr Goodwin September 2019

“The location was perfect for those that like walking.”

Nearby was a pleasant small town with two pubs, two restaurants & shops plus wonderful beach accessed by a steep narrow hill up & then down to the sea. This property is unsuitable for the disabled.

- Dr Goodwin, September 2019
Mr & Mrs Trotter August 2019

“We enjoyed our stay in the farmhouse and had a lovely week.”

Its a secluded position on a farm. The free parking near the beach was very useful. The fishing lake was peaceful and quiet.

- Mr & Mrs Trotter, August 2019
Ms Turner June 2019

“This property was amazing and exactly what we needed as a mixed family group!”

- Ms Turner, June 2019
Mrs Ingram May 2019

“This was our fourth visit to this property.”

The house is spacious and homely, with more than enough room for our group of nine adults and two children. The location is simply stunning and near to local amenities and great beaches.

- Mrs Ingram, May 2019
Mr Russ May 2019

“Our family (6 adults and 3 children) stayed at Tregonhawke to celebrate a special birthday.”

The farmhouse is spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there. The children enjoyed playing in the lovely garden and we all enjoyed the walk to the nearby lake. The beach is a short drive away and it was good to be able to use parking spaces reserved for Tregonhawke guests. The owners were very friendly and available to help with any problems.

- Mr Russ, May 2019
Mrs Waghorn October 2018

“The farmhouse was absolutely perfect for our group of 13!”

It was spacious, warm and contained everything you could possibly need. The kids (age 2-7) especially loved having their own 'kids tv/play room'. It's also in a very pretty setting with a secure garden. Amazing beach close by, (steep walk down but worth it) free parking in owners field. Mount Edgcumbe House is 10 minutes away and a great place to walk, bike ride and take in amazing views. The owners are wonderfully friendly and helpful. I would 100% recommend this accommodation to large groups, especially with kids. Excellent!!!

- Mrs Waghorn, October 2018
Mr Cook September 2018

“Fantastic large rural cottage perfect for the large family group.”

Located in a quiet country settling but close to village shops and pubs. Excellent fishing on the estate was a bonus.

- Mr Cook, September 2018
Mr Ellis September 2018

“Comfortable, welcoming house, good size, good location - within walking distance of beach and village.”

- Mr Ellis, September 2018
Mrs Arthur August 2018

“The house was very homey and comfy.”

The only thing it lacked was a pair of kitchen scissors!! Could've done with them on several occasions.

- Mrs Arthur, August 2018
Mr Jelbert July 2018

“In most respects Tregonhawke was ideal for our family group of 10 including 3 children aged 6 to 8.”

The house is amply equipped with cutlery, crockery and utensils although we wished there was a larger saucepan for cooking purposes. The house was spacious and meant that everyone could find a quiet area if needed and the children enjoyed the playroom. My main suggestion, which will be easy to do, is to improve the wi-fi connectivity around the house by using extenders. We found that having internet availability only in the kitchen was inconvenient. The location is extremely quiet with excellent garden space for the children to play. On the few occasions we needed advice from the owners we found them friendly and helpful. Overall, we were very satisfied.

- Mr Jelbert, July 2018
Mrs Gibbons June 2018

“Farmhouse was wonderful.”

All 10 adults 2 children and 2 infants fitted in with plenty of room for everyone. All enjoyed their holiday saying best ever. Owner lived next door and was very friendly and helpful

About the location

MILLBROOK

Whitsand Bay 1 mile; Plymouth 8 miles.

Set in a bowl of hills at the head of a tidal creek that leads to the Hamoaze, opposite the great naval city of Plymouth, Millbrook is located on the Rame Peninsula, "Cornwall's Forgotten Corner". Bounded by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea, the area is deeply rural and designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a good range of shops and pubs, while close by are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you to Plymouth. Along the southern edges of the peninsula are miles of beautiful walks with glorious views of Rame Head. Just a mile south of Millbrook lies Whitsand Bay with its miles of uncrowded sandy RNLI patrolled beach and dramatic cliffs. A superb base for discovering the wild side of Cornwall.

Note: Beach parking available in owner's field above Whitsand Bay, by arrangement. 'Day care' for dogs available.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250

Note: No Stag or Hen parties

Fishing at the lake will no longer be free to guests. We are restricting fishing to 5 paying customers with nobody else accompanying. Booking and payment for fishing (£10 per person per day with access only between 0800 and 1800 hours) must be made in advance. There will be not refund of payment if the person decides to cancel.

Note: The 'Children's Room' listed on the floor plan is now a 2nd sitting/TV room.
