We loved this home and hope to return. We've stayed in St. Kew in years past and love being near the St Kew Inn and St Kew Pottery. The house is beautiful and clean, as well as up to date. We spent quite a bit of time outside and the kids enjoyed the creek and outdoor space. The family room has great space for everyone to watch a movie. Claire communicated well and was responsive if we had any questions. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay during our family vacation to Cornwall!
This is a magical property. The charming house and garden are both beautiful and comfortable. The owner and/or staff welcomed us with Cornish tea and cookies as well as detailed ideas about local hikes, restaurants, etc. Whatever your dreams are about your visit to Cornwall, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely perfect!
We recently stayed at Willow Mill, what a fantastic week!! The property itself and it's location were ideal for our 2 families, loads of space in the house (the kids loved it), and loads to do in the surrounding area for a range of ages. We would definitely go back! :)

Beautiful spacious house with a large leafy garden
Great location, very close to the best surfing beeches. The old Inn just a short walk away was excellent and the local Cornish beer (and lager) was lovely. We enjoyed cooking on the Rayburn and the views to the Church from the upstairs lounge take you back in time. We had a fabulous week at Willow Mill. Thank you.

Excellent place to stay
This property is exactly as described - charming, comfortable and homely. It is well equipped and with lovely peaceful gardens and room for outdoor dining.More than enough room for our party of five adults. It provided us with the perfect base for exploring Port Isaac, Padstow, Bude and other areas of Cornwall, the nearby St Kew Inn is an easy few minutes walk away and well worth a visit.
Would definitely return for a second visit.

Willow Mill is a beautiful character cottage
This was our second visit to Cornwall and 2nd visit to Willow Mill. The cottage fitted us ( a group of 6 adults and 2 dogs) so well we didn't even look for any alternative accommodation for our 2nd time to Cornwall. We love the fact this is a family run property which is still used by the family and feels extremely homely. Excellent access to a main road which makes sight seeing a large area very easy. Also a stones throw from the most amazing pub "St Kew Inn".
Overall a very well run cottage which is homely and full of character. We will be sure to visit again 😀
