“The cottage was fully equipped, situated in a very quiet area which was lovely.”

The owner was nearby who was very informative and chatty. Ideal position to visit Fowey, Polperro and Looe amongst other places. We used the train to go to Looe, platform is a request stop 2 minutes walk from the cottage costing £3.20 return. Overall we had a lovely stay at Miller's Lodge.

“Very nice, great facilities and clean.”

Friendly and helpful owner. Highly recommended.

“Great little cottage in a great location.”

The train station is a one minute walk and the trains to Looe very reasonably priced and run quite frequently. Well equipped kitchen. TV, DVD, all the things you need. No wifi but you can usually get it on the train platform (bit hit and miss though). A previous review said parking only for a small to medium car - we ignored this and managed to fit a mondeo estate in (huge car) though it was tight. Cornish roads are pretty tiny so we are quite used to it. The cottage is not near anything apart from the train station - no shops, pubs, etc - you need to drive or get the train to these. We took our 1 year old. It was very hard containing him in this property (our choice, not a fault of the place) and I would suggest it is really not very suitable for any children. Again, the listing does say babes in arms only. The main issue we had apart from the one year old terror was that the floor boards are EXCEPTIONALLY noisy - so you basically can't walk upstairs or use the bathroom without making a LOT of noise. This woke our sleeping baby up every time. A lot of these types of properties are noisy but this is extremely loud. Fine for couples going to bed at the same time but may be a consideration for anyone who has a baby that actually goes to bed before 11pm.

“There is a very good (and on time) train service from the bottom of the garden called "wishing well halt" This goes from Liskeard to Looe and on a regular basis The fares are reasonable and if you are fortunate to have a bus pass you can use it locally.”

- Mr Altoft, June 2019
“Millers Lodge was great as a base to explore Cornwall.”

It's quiet, cosy and peaceful. The option of the train at the bottom of the garden a real plus. And very quiet.

- Ms Douthwaite, May 2019
“Customers to be aware that the parking space is suitable for a small/medium car.”

The outside space would be enhanced by more maintenance and some pots/flowers.

- Mrs Lott, May 2019

Thank you for your comments. The property is suitable for any size car. Thank you for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Owner relations
“We felt at at peace and relaxed and at home really enjoyed the cottage and the week”

- Mr Overton, March 2019
“The cottage was beautiful and in the perfect location.”

We had a wonderfully peaceful weekend and had everything we needed to lock ourselves away and relax. The hosts were friendly and accommodating.

- Mrs Marks, February 2019
“Friendly welcome and great advice about transport links and local walks.”

Peaceful, secluded location (which was what I wanted). Lovely cottage with all necessary facilities. Hope to get back there again some day.

- Ms Trost, February 2019
“A super, cosy, well equipped holiday home in a quiet location, which is an ideal base for exploring this delightful area.”

There are walks from the door or catching the local train to Liskeard or Looe is so easy and convenient.

- Mrs Summerscales, September 2018
“Beautiful setting, a perfect hideaway to escape to.”

Fresh linen, soft, fluffy towels and thoughtful extras such as milk, tea and coffee ready for our arrival as well as a couple of bottles of local cider, which was very much appreciated. Lovely conversations with the owner who has so much local information, and a very interesting man to talk to. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Bowler, June 2018
“Lovely little cottage, has everything you need.”

The roads leading to the cottage are very narrow causing some dificulty when oncoming traffic is around. Ideal with having the train stop at the bottom of the garden, we made use of this several times. Helpful owners on site also.

- Mrs Berry, March 2018
“Wonderful cottage”

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location which makes for a great base to tour around Cornwall. The train journey from the end of the garden to Loos is a must. In fact travel by train is very easy and not at all expensive. We took the train from the end of the garden into Penzance for the day. The cottage is extremely well equipped and has everything you could want. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would certainly recommend this cottage.

- Joann K, September 2014
“Perfect base to explore East Cornwall and West Devon”

Miller's Lodge is a cottage with character but thoroughly modernised inside. Contains a lounge/diner with kitchen attached and upstairs a bedroom and bathroom. It is a comfortable place to stay and the kitchen in particular is very well equiped. As others have mentioned it is situated next to the Looe Valley line and St Keyne station which runs from Liskiard to Looe. The service is very reliable (trains about every 90mins) and allows an easy ride into Looe but also connections to the rest of the main railway network from Liskiard. Millers Lodge is about a mile (maybe less from St Keyne and apart from the train it is a rarity to see any traffic at all. The roads are generally very narrow and I would suggest using the road from the cottage direct to Liskiard to get out into Cornwall rather than the minor roads which aren't always signposted. Would thoroughly recommend Millers Lodge and plan on returning angain in the not too distant future.

“Fantastic”

This is the nicest cottage we have stayed in, it really is home from home with all the lovely finishing homely touches, it has everything you need and more! quality cuttelry and crockery, fluffy towels, coffee maker, dish washer, and all mod cons, we loved it here!! It's so peaceful, the first morning we woke up I opened the window to just the sound do birds singing, it was a world away from what we are used to, it was bliss, the train into Looe is a must! very cheap too and easy to catch. There's a big morrisons and an Aldi about 3 miles away so not far to stock up. We visited so many places Mevagissy, Plymouth, Falmouth but my favourite was St Ives! It's about 56 miles away (around an hour and 20 mins) but well worth a day out. The owners are lovely and very helpful I really can't recommend this cottage enough! Lovely stay thank you!!!

“Fantastic Cottage - 10/10”

We stayed at Millers Lodge between 20th and 27th July 2013. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was perfect. The cottage has everything you need. On the ground floor is a living room with dining area along with a fantastic and spacious gallery kitchen with about every utensil and pots and pans you would ever want. The kitchen also has an integrated dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, sandwich maker, electric tin opener, integrated fridge, integrated freezer, oven, electric hob, microwave and coffee maker amongst the array kitchen appliances. Also provided are a clothes horse, ironing board and a Laundry basket. Electronics include a widescreen tv with freeview along with a DVD player. The cottage also includes a small selection of DVDs to watch. There is also a high end CD player and radio. Upstairs leads to a gallery landing with a bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom is contemporary and includes a wc, whb and a shower. There is also a heated towel rail and lots of fluffy towels included. Off the lounge is a small courtyard with a washing line and a table and chairs. We were traveling with our 9 month old daughter and the owners were extremely friendly and very helpful. They provided us with a high chair, play centre, bath and changing mat which was really helpful and thoughtful. Whilst the owners were unobtrusive, it was great chatting to Paul about his musical passion and his new venture in the pipeline. The cottage is located next to a stream and directly opposite the St Keyne Wishing Well halt railway stop. Trains run about Every hour to Looe or Liskeard and are very handy. It was great to pop into Looe (£2.60) adult return for food and drinks and then get the train back to the cottage. No driving required at all for Looe. The cottage proved to be a great base for exploring the region. We visited Looe, The Eden Project, Padstow, Port Isaac and Polperro; all of which were great places to visit. There is a Morrisons supermarket about 10 minutes drive away in Liskeard which was very handy for stocking up on provisions. In conclusion, Millers Lodge was faultless and somewhere we certainly won't hesitate to recommend to others as well as hopefully making a return visit ourselves in the future.

“Really Comfortable cottage”

Our stay at miller's lodge was so peacefull & comfortable the cottage itself contained everything and we could not have asked for more.

- Helen B, July 2012
“First family holiday with baby - would highly recommend!”

What more can I say? This was the ideal cottage for many reasons. Firstly it is in the best area. Central to the East of Cornwall you are only a short drive from anywhere (e.g. St. Austell, Eden Project, Looe, Polperro, Padstow). Secondly the location is so peaceful and ideal for a relaxing getaway. Thirdly the cottage has everything you need for a relaxing getaway and it has all modern conveniences. Fourthly I would highly recommend this cottage if you would like to take your baby for its first trip away. Ours is 9 months and she had a travelcot provided, a high chair provided and also a babies play centre too. Finally the owners of the cottage are so friendly and their gift on arrival was well needed after the drive. Oh...did I forget to mention that you can walk from the cottage to the rail track to Looe/Liskeard? Having a train so close may put people off, but you cant hear it and it isnt that often. It does provide a few drive free days if you have had a lot of driving and it is a fairly good price. On the whole an excellent cottage in an excellent location.

“Fabulous stay”

This was our second time at Millers Lodge and I can honestly say we were not disappointed. Nothing has changed. The cottage is immaculate and has everything you could want. The owners are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. We very much appreciated the extra touches provided (wine, biscuits, tea and milk). The house is tucked away and is so quiet. We enjoyed visiting many places in Cornwall. The station behind the house is wonderful. We took great delight in catching it into Looe to have a meal and then home again enabling us to have a well earned bottle of wine without worrying about the drive home. We can recommend the Squid Ink restaurant in Looe, a real find. The front of house were so kind and informative and the food was out of this world. We found Rock a wonderful place to visit too. Many top quality food shops where we purchased the ingredients for our BBQ and a fabulous beach which also has a ferry to nearby Padstow.

“Cosy country cottage”

My wife and I stayed at Miller's Lodge for a week in late March 2012. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage is well furnished / equipped, comfortable and clean. The location is peaceful and good as a centre for exploring East Cornwall but is very remote with no shops / restaurants within walking distance. Also bear in mind that there's no wi-fi or mobile reception, being disconnected for a week helped with the relaxation and the odd trip to Liskeard to get an iPad / iPhone fix wasn't too much of a chore. Overall we'd highly recommend the cottage as a base for a relaxing break.

- gcairns, March 2012
“Most Relaxing place we have been too”

This was the most relaxing place we have ever stayed. Everything you could want was in the cottage, we wanted for nothing. The hosts were friendly and were always around but never in the way.Well presented cottage and lovely and clean.Fantastice scenery and so quiet.

“Deep in the country!”

Miller's Lodge was an ideal holiday cottage. The local rail link, with station halt nearby, was a great bonus as was the superb restaurant/hotel, the Well House, situated aout a mile away and easily accessible on foot. The cottage itself contained everything and we could not have asked for more, even the weather was perfect! The "Marvellous Music Machines" exhibition within the grounds also proved to be very interesting and the owner was very knowledgeable about his collection. All in all: excellent!

The property

Miller's Lodge is a stone-built former hay barn set in the gorgeous Looe Valley in East Cornwall.

With spacious accommodation and the wonders of Cornwall close at hand, it is a splendid place for a romantic break away from it all.

The ground floor is occupied by a refreshing open-plan living room, where you can take a seat on the snug sofa with the warmth of the electric fire and a favourite film on the TV.

The kitchen area is amply equipped and finished with splendid wooden units to give off a real sense of charm and style.

Retire to the first floor at the end of each day, complete with a double bed and charming features to ensure a peaceful spot to get your well-earned rest.

A lovely shower room completes the interior of Miller's Lodge.

Make the most of the excellent private patio to the back of the property; perhaps enjoy an alfresco meal among the fresh countryside air.

For a fine selection of amenities, the market town of Liskeard is just three miles away which also hosts its own museum.

The coastal town of Looe is certainly worth a day trip as it offers a glorious beach, amusement arcade and much more.

A superbly located cottage for exploring East Cornwall.
