About this property

Anderton Mill is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sleeping four in two bedrooms, it provides superb family accommodation, but is also ideal for couples wishing to get away from it all. Renovated by the owners over a period of twenty years, it is very much a home, rather than simply a holiday cottage. This ancient watermill has been converted with flair and finesse and includes slate floors, a log burner, deep oak window seats and contemporary furnishings. The three patios are real sun traps; 'the riverside terrace', is complete with sun loungers, whilst the upper patio has a built-in barbecue and teak furniture. There is plenty to do within the 7 acre grounds, including trout fishing, pond dipping and scaling the tree house, as well as excellent local walks in the valley. The house is only a short drive (or indeed a walk for the fit!) to the North Cornish coast and its varied beaches. Space, peace and tranquility are the hallmarks of this unique rural retreat.
Due to popular demand, we only accept bookings from Saturday to Saturday.

Beautiful cottage

the cottage was so lovely with the beautiful garden close to the stream. The house is clean and comfortable. When it gets cooler you can heat it up in the oven. the bathroom is modern and the kitchen has everything you need. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. Kay and Pete were very friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed our time with them

Absolutely Idyllic

My husband and I booked this beautiful cottage for a week of peace and quiet and that was exactly what we got. The property is straight off a chocolate box, absolutely stunning and also immaculate. The pictures don’t do it justice. The gardens, the stream and surrounding countryside are beautiful. We received a welcome pack and note from the owners which was a lovely surprise and much appreciated after a long trip down. The location whilst slightly remote is never more than an hour (ish) to travel somewhere. We visited a lot of places in Cornwall in the space of a week and the journey to and from the cottage was never an issue. The lack of wi-fi could be an inconvenience if you can’t live without your phone, but the peace quiet and natural beauty of the cottage and the surrounding areas more than make up for that. It has been a joy to have stayed here.

About the host

Hosted by Mr Peter Forse

We are married with 2 grown up children and are both retired teachers. Although we love travelling, Cornwall always draws us back!

Why they chose this property

We stumbled across Anderton Mill by chance when walking in the area. At the time it was a complete ruin but we fell in love with its stunning position in the Valency Valley. We spent the next 15 years lovingly restoring it, as time and money allowed. It is now a very special home. We were delighted to receive Rural Property of the Year Award for 2011. Although we visit often, we have been letting Anderton Mill for almost 20 years, with many of our guests returning year after year - the record being 16 years in succession!
North Cornwall remains one of the least spoilt areas of Great Britain and the Vallency Valley is a very special place. We have spent many happy times here with our family and friends.

What makes this property unique

We always enjoy the peace and tranquility of the cottage; the abundance of wildlife and the variety offered by the seasons. Sitting outside on a warm evening is a real joy, listening to the river and gazing at stars we don't see in the city.
This place is unique - something that our guests often comment on.
