Guests say
The Mill House-TT3 is a well-equipped cottage praised for its spacious kitchen, cosy bedrooms, and fun games room. Guests enjoyed the rural charm, including local cows and countryside views, despite some rain. The property's central location in Cornwall is ideal for exploring the area's beaches and towns.
The property generally met cleanliness expectations, though one review mentioned dirty fridges, a sticky table, and items left in the dishwasher, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is appreciated for its rural charm and central position in Cornwall, allowing easy access to various attractions. However, the narrow lanes and remoteness may not suit everyone.
Guests found the bedrooms cosy and comfortable, but noted the living room was a bit small and dark. The spiral staircase was also mentioned as a challenge for accessing the upper floor.
The property boasts a well-equipped kitchen and games room, which were highlights for many guests. However, some maintenance issues like a noisy heat pump and extractor fans were noted.
Guests were delighted by the thoughtful touch of scones, cream, and jam upon arrival. While such gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Stayed here for a week in the October half term. Delicious scones, cream and jam were in the fridge waiting for us plus a carton of milk which was very handy! Lovely property. Loved the kitchen. It was so big!! Very well equipped ~ it had everything you need. Plenty of space for food as there were 3 fridges with small freezer space in 2 of them.The property had a spiral staircase which was very nice. It was a bit tight but not a problem for us. Bedrooms were cosy and comfortable. We didn’t use them all as there was 4 of us.We had a lot of fun in the games room which was also very well equipped. Pool table, football table, other games and also had a large TV in there. Note that the games room is shared with the other property and is in a separate building in the grounds. Nice outside space too but it rained while we were there most days so wasn’t able to sit out and enjoy the views. A good base for getting around. Not far from the A30 and the A38. The Wi-Fi was a bit sketchy but you are in the countryside!All in all we had a wonderful time - highly recommend this property.

Lovely cottage in a very quiet spot. We had great stay. It's in a central position that allows easy visiting to many lovely places in Cornwall.

Extremely pretty outside and grounds, inside is a little cosy in the living room with the low ceiling, lack of natural light, the lack of signal means its very hard to watch the tv so you resort to sitting in the kitchen which after a while hurts your bum on the chairs. Was a little shocked to see a small metal staircase go to the upstairs, this made things quite difficult when trying to take suitcases up. The fridges were a bit dirty, table sticky, stuff left in the dishwasher and no salt or rinse aid for the dishwasher. Bedrooms were nicely made up although some stains on the bedding, rooms do get very hot. Bathrooms are beautifully designed and showers perfect. Did seem to be quite a few dusty cobwebs and the games room smelt like damp but still enjoyable with the door open.
