The private gardens have lawns and beds stocked with trees and shrubs, garden chairs, tables, a parasol and a picnic bench, as well as a charcoal BBQ. Perfect places to enjoy a morning coffee or to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine with a glass of wine!

Testimonial
" We absolutely absolutely loved our stay! The cute, cosy cottage was perfectly positioned for exploring beautiful South Cornwall. The Water Mill was pristine, well equipped and the comfy beds gave our 8 year old his best sleep ever! The hot tub was a huge hit too! Thank you very much - perfect! Oh! - and the welcome hamper, gorgeous gardens & attentive hosts.... all appreciated."
