We would definitely rebook.

Mill Cottage provided a wonderful winter getaway home from home. The cottage was spacious, comfortable and warm, even with sub-zero temperatures outside Kate hosted very well, quickly responding to our queries, and has fitted everything out thoughtfully and attractively. The kitchen is well-equipped and the whole cottage was very clean. We appreciated the welcome goodies very much and the ample supplies of fuel for the wood burner. The location is excellent for exploring this beautiful stretch of coastline and beyond.

What a gem!

What a gem! The Mill is just gorgeous! The cottage is spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. The garden and grounds are both beautiful and plentiful and the cottage is within a short walk from the stunning Porthcothan beach. Kate is the most wonderful host, so responsive and left us a delicious cream tea to welcome us! The Mill is so peaceful and very well positioned to visit many local beaches and nearby towns such as Padstow.

If you’re looking for a clean, homely and peaceful stay I would highly recommend.

Our stay at Porthcothan Mill Cottage was fantastic. 10 mins drive south of Padstow, ideally situated with easy access to Trevone, Harlyn and Treyarnon bays. The cottage itself is located just 5 mins walk from Porthcothan bay and has an amazing garden with stream that runs through. It had all the amenities we needed, a well equipped kitchen and good size bedrooms. The log burner in the sitting room was fantastic. We took our dog and after a run on the beach the outside shower and hose was perfect to ensure he was clean before entering the property. If you’re looking for a clean, homely and peaceful stay I would highly recommend.

Fully recommend and would like to come back in the summer

Great stay in a great little cottage, which was actually bigger than we expected. Kate was extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The location is great, 10min walk to the beach - although during the winter proper walking gear is advised as it’s wet and muddy. I doubt the recent rain has helped, but the access track (lane), was very rough and rutted - not suitable for a sports car, this is probably worth a mention. Luckily we had kids and dogs onboard so were in an SUV.

Fantastic week at this peaceful cottage

We've just enjoyed a fantastic week at this peaceful cottage. The listing is spot on when it says the kitchen is well equipped, and there are lots of books, DVDs and board games for all ages to enjoy. It's a 5 minute walk to a great beach, and easy driving distance to many more. Bedrooms are comfortable (although this is an old rural building so you may need to evict a few 8 legged friends) and the cottage is very peaceful. If you're coming back from the beach the washing facilities are unbeatable with an outside shower, and utility room with a washer and dryer. Really handy. Private garden which is a sun trap too. We had a fab meal at Duchy Grub, and rode at Reen Manor Stables - recommend both. Thanks Kate!
