Mr Howard
Lovely, well-equipped cottage in a great location for exploring West Cornwall. Set in a very quiet lane with little passing traffic, there are local footpaths to Mousehole and Lamorna.

Mr Barnard
Fabulous secluded cottage, nicely finished and equipped. Ideally positioned for the coast path, bays and beaches but only a few minutes away from Newlyn by car.

Mrs Bishop
We stayed at kemyel Mill House from 13th-20th September 2024 Beautiful country side building which could be stunning. Let down by the cleanliness and neglect (cleaner came in after complaining but we unfortunately we found more after she had left). Mold around bath, dust, dirt and cobwebbs everywhere, dirty freezer, smelly fridge, dirty and stained floors etc. Could do with new sofa's. The beds are lovely and comfortable although slats are not fixed on single beds. Garden table unusable as needs a lot of tlc and has plants growing out of it. The "stunning 360 summerhouse" as advertised is dangerous and also unusable as wood is rotting and is covered in green mildew and does not turn. We complained twice during our stay regarding the garden furniture but had NO response at all regarding this. It is such a shame because this is really a beautiful but neglected property.
