A beautiful barn conversion, perfect location for both the north and south coasts. Easy access to Truro, At Ives, Falmouth and many more. Many additional touches such as small pieces of slate with notes directing the renter to local attractions, instructions on how to find things in the house, all improve the quality of stay. The only negative for us was that we booked our holiday not knowing that the G7 summit was taking place... But that was no one's fault!

I have read multiple reviews apertaining to this property and its onsite owners.We have just spent 3 weeks+ at The Stables, the smaller of the two properties available at the Old Mill.The reviews praise its excellent position for touring as well praising the owners.
Had not Alan presented us on two occasions freshly caught makerel and once, a huge home grown cucumber I would still have said that as a host/owner with Suzie his accomplished artistic wife that they are an amazing couple. Their hospitality, their consideration, their conversation merit the highest of of praise. Suzie is an accomplished
