We had the most magical week in Cornwall topped off by the most amazing cottage “the old saw mill". The cottage is perfectly situated to visit all of Cornwall’s attractions. Beaches within 15 minutes, Eden and Lost gardens very close, spectacular Looe, Polzeath and Padstow 30 minutes its a perfect base. The cottage is clinically spotless, a lovely welcome basket with baked bread and tea cakes made by the owners Jamie and Louise, and is decorated in such a sympathetic typically Cornish decor. The beds and sofas are very comfortable, topped off by a huge log burner for those colder days and nights. The bathroom showers are powerful and roomy., and the well equipped kitchen has everything you need, and more for a more self catering experiences. There is a lovely garden with BBQ and seating area to dine al fresco when the weather permits. Jamie and Louise we found friendly and tentative to any questions or queries, and made us feel welcome from the day of arrival. Nothing was too much trouble and it was lovely to chat with them about their transition to Cornish life and, it’s evident to see that they love what they do are care deeply about ensuring their guests have a pleasant and enjoyable stay. We can’t thank them enough, my family (including young children) had an amazing holiday and we can’t wait to return in the future. Don’t hesitate, if your considering a trip to Cornwall you won’t be at all disappointed in the beautiful cottage. Thank you

Wonderful Self Catering experience in the converted Sawmills. Nice welcoming basket of fresh loaf of bread, a jug of milk, biscuits, tea bags and coffee.... Spotlessly clean, and good furniture, bed, ensuite, bed linen and kitchen facilities. Note toiletries are not provided but not a problem. There is a lovely private garden. The hosts James and Louise are great who live in a separate property next door. Excellent communications from Jamie and Louise before our stay, with directions and recommendations. Very quiet country location but near main roads to visit Cornwall's numerous attractions, on the coasts, and inland. Highly recommend. We would love go back to Sawmills.

Beautiful cottage, lovely secluded location, very comfortable, and lovely hosts. I feel with just the electric heating it could be a bit chilly in the winter months though.
