• "We absolutely loved our time at The Mill."

  The accommodation was immaculate, classy, warm yet homely. We were welcomed with tea, coffee, milk, chocolate biscuits and a bottle of wine. What a lovely touch. Sadly, I forgot to add a message in their visitors book. We definitely want to return. The animals, space, peace, gardens etc were much appreciated by our foster daughter, granddaughter and permanent grandchildren that visited. Thank you SO much Carol and Jonathan Born. X

• "The property was great for our needs to provide a comfortable social space for a big family gathering."

  We also rented Edwin’s View. The open plan upstairs layout was perfect for eating together as a big group and having lots of spaces for cosy chats. We challenged the kitchen space with large dinners and it met up to our requirements. It was very well equipped and we wanted for nothing. The bedrooms were spacious and comfy and the bathrooms met our needs. Outdoors the animal feeding/watching and the badminton/football space were very popular for all age groups and it was great for a base for cycling and running. Lots of parking space too. We’re coming back! ASAP! Thank you.

• "We spent a lovely week at The Mill."

  It's a very spacious property. We loved the living/dining room and all the bedrooms had comfy beds and lots of room for all out bits and bobs! It was lovely to see the animals out of the kitchen window every morning. Just a shame the weather wasn't nice enough to make use of the garden! But it didn't spoil anything. We very much enjoyed our stay!

• "Lovely Owners who were very welcoming and down to earth."

  Fantastic facilities in site for dogs, plenty of space for them within the accommodation and the surrounding fields without having to go anywhere else. Wonderful cosy fire, cosy seating. Bedrooms were clean and spacious, bathrooms were the same and very comfortable. Five star cosy Cornwall experience.

• "The Cottage was as expected, but actually surpassed our expectations on space and comfort."

  The only suprise was the super king linked bed, came with 2 single duvets rather that one large one, but actually worked well for us in the end. Jon and Carol were both lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Having the bucket in the property for kitchen scraps and allowing us to Feeding the pigs and goats was such a lovely bonus. Having a hallway/space for drying damp coats and boots was really useful for a March holiday and the great British Weather.

• "Information on cottage at the time of booking was not accurate, it was not safe for children, a farm driveway in between house and garden, and tractor with a large spiked implement on the back was just out side the front of house, very unkempt garden area, and the house needed a deep clean."

  This could be a lovely place with some TLC Great location for visiting places and sight seeing. Disappointing

  I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at the mill I am sorry about the tractor being close to the mill but august is the harvest month even though the weather was horrible we are a working farm so I had to move hay bales . My apologies if the garden was not up to scratch we are changing the gardens around at the moment, and the weather this august is making it hard for both guest and owner to enjoy the grounds . Our cleaning standard is usually quite high as you can see from ratings so remain a little confused as to why you rated as in need of a deep clean but point taken thanks we will keep an eye out as we are pet friendly and this can sometimes be an issue with dogs coming off the beaches assuming they are the culprits ,many thanks Jonathan Property Owner

  It was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We couldn’t find anything at fault with it and would highly recommend it to others. Set in a quiet area with plenty of walks to explore, we were also allowed to feed the pigs on the farm too. It’s ideally located for exploring the area and local tourist attractions. The owners were friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

• "We had a lovely stay at the mill in Nancegollan."

  It was a lovely barn conversion with nice furnishings , very cosy and comfortable. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful . A much added bonus were the goats, pigs and alpacas , I myself loved to pop over each morning with my red bucket filled with goodies for them . We enjoyed being able to walk through the fields adjoining the farm with our dogs. As a general note for Sykes as a company , this was a complex of properties, and should be advertised when booking . Will hopefully be returning soon .

• "A lovely comfortable, well equipped cottage."

  We did mention to the owner about a handle for the shower over the bath to aid the "more elderly" visitors, which he totally agreed with. Otherwise it was faultless and the owners were delightful and helpful. The animals in the fields were an added attraction. Lovely pubs and beaches nearby.

• "Sadly we read a review from previous guests who had reported wasps/bees in the property Also the blockage of the sink in the family bathroom We noted that the owner had promised immediate attention to the sink This was not the case and just cleaning teeth was enough to fill the sink ."

  The owner told us on our arrival that there had been a problem with bees and we may see the odd one. In fact each day we had to deal with numerous bees/ wasps. As we had a dog in the party this was of great concern. Whilst the property was comfortable there were issues with drawer and wardrobe handles that stuck consistently just a little beeswax could have solved this. In the on suite shower the shower head was hanging off the wall and had to be screwed back in place We have stayed at other Sykes properties in Cornwall and always been very happy. We would not return to the Mill I’m afraid The surroundings on the farm we’re in a very neglected state .

  Thank you for your feedback. We apologise about the bees, they have been an ongoing issue this summer. We have taken professional advise on how to combat the issue but it has failed. They are now dormant and will be removed. We were not made aware of the sink at the time, had we known, we would have fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. Sorry about the issue with the wardrobes. They are good quality solid oak wardrobes but have been supplied with inferior handles that will be replaced. We will also have a look at the shower head but this was only replaced 6 weeks ago. The unkept surroundings also mentioned will be addressed too. Thanks again for your comments. Property Owner

• "SURROUNDING OUTDOOR AREAS NEEDS TIDYING UP, RATHER SCRUFFY."

  WASP NESTS ON 2 CORNERS OF THE BARN SO COULDN'T LEAVE WINDOWS OR BACK DOOR OPEN FOR FRESH AIR. THEY STILL GOT IN SOMEHOW ABOUT 20 A DAY RESULTING IN 1 PERSON GETTING STUNG TWICE. BATHROOM SINK SEMI BLOCKED. WOULD BE BETTER IF A PRIVATE ENCLOSED GARDEN WAS DESIGNATED TO EACH PROPERTY. WILL NOT RETURN

  Thank you very much for your feedback, we’re sad to read of your disappointment. We’ve been in contact with the owners concerning your comments who have advised us of the following, which we hope is useful to you and other guests. Firstly, it is honey bees rather than wasps. The owners tried to move the nest earlier in the summer, but sadly found that they cannot do so without killing them. They therefore decided to wait until they left of their own natural causes which they thought they had done. It looks as though they’ve returned however, so the owners will look to tackle this permanently. We don’t actually advertise an enclosed garden here, so one shouldn’t be expected. Nevertheless, improvements to the layout of the garden are in the pipeline to help make it more enclosed. Finally, thank you for letting us know about the washbasin which will be checked upon immediately. We’re very sad that you wouldn’t choose to return, happily the overwhelming majority of guests (as can be seen in the feedback) feel differently and we look forward to welcoming more visitors to ‘Mill’ over the coming weeks and months.

  3 nights out of 7 we had freezing cold water. Engineer was eventually called and sorted the problem. Paid £1500 for a week and was offered a measly £148 compensation as a ‘good Will gesture’ - would any of you actually pay £1350 for a house that has no hot water for half of your stay ???

• "Super, clean, well appointed cottage in the exact location we needed."

  Our only disappointment is that we did not see any mention of the fact it was an 'upside down' house. This was lovely from the point of views and space but we brought with us a very old and less than mobile dog who had to be carried up and down the stairs several times a day. We might well have chosen elsewhere if we had realized the implications of the layout. Otherwise we would highly recommend The Mill to other holidaymakers.
