About this property

Willow Mill & Little Barn - Idyllic mill house and barn near Port Isaac

In the heart of the beautiful village of St Kew near Port Issac, a comfortable converted mill and barn (sleeps 8 and up to 6 respectively) set within wonderful peaceful gardens with woodland and a stream. Nestled below the village church of St James and a short walk from the renowned St Kew Inn. Ideally located close to Port Isaac (Doc Martin), Polzeath (for surfing), Rock (sailing and windsurfing) and Padstow. A wonderful private place to retreat to after a day at the beach, sightseeing or walking the coastal path. Changeover day is Saturday unless otherwise agreed with the owner.

Willow Mill and Little Barn share the same plot and are situated at either end of a 100m private drive, ideal accommodation for groups of friends and larger family groups. Willow Mill sits at the top of the drive and sleeps 8 people in four bedrooms (two super kings, one twin, one twin/superking zip and link). Little Barn, at the bottom drive, accommodates up to 6 in 3 bedrooms (one double , two singles in L shape cabin bunks, and one double on a mezzanine). Great for all groups but being two separate buildings it is perfect for groups who may want independence or privacy such as those with young families or possibly grandparents looking for peace and quiet.

Why they chose this property

The houses are characterful, comfortable and warm. The location in the heart of the village next to the stream, the church and close to the St Kew Inn is magical. Our children love having adventures in the woods, making dens and playing in the stream. It is a great place to unwind after a day at the beach or a long coastal walk.
