About this property
About 1.5 miles from Kingsand and Cawsand, a stunning contemporary architect designed house with on trend interiors, spacious accommodation and a superb outlook across the Millbrook Lake and the Tamar Estuary. For those seeking somewhere unique for a special stay, Lake View is the ideal choice for families or friends looking for a relaxing stay. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with a vast open plan living space on the middle floor where you can gather around the table, chill out on big corner sofas by the wood burner or spill out onto the water facing balcony stretching the width of the house. Kids of all ages will be entertained with a fabulous cinema room on the ground floor with 65'' screen and squashy sofas. The bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements. Three bedrooms are up on the second floor; a master with king size bed, en suite shower room and Juliet balcony, another super-king size room and twin room, both with zip link beds for added versatility.There is also a large family bathroom on this floor. The ground floor bedroom is a double with use of a cloakroom with WC on this floor. To the rear of the house, accessed from the sitting area is a terrace with table and chairs which is a sun trap in the evenings, the perfect spot for a barbecue or a few G&T's at sunset. There is also a lawn and table tennis is provided for the energetic! Lake View is in the Cornish village of Millbrook; a sleepy spot in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where bird watchers may spot kingfishers on the lake just 500 yards from the property. There is a a pub and convenience store but the real attraction is the wonderful countryside and water based activities nearby. Surrounded by water on three sides, Millbrook looks across the Tamar to Plymouth which can be reached by car ferry from nearby Torpoint or on the passenger ferry from the Cremyll Quay.
Set in a bowl of hills at the head of a tidal creek that leads to the Hamoaze, opposite the great naval city of Plymouth, Millbrook is located on the Rame Peninsula, "Cornwall's Forgotten Corner". Bounded by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea, the area is deeply rural and designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a good range of shops and pubs, while close by are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you to Plymouth. Along the southern edges of the peninsula are miles of beautiful walks with glorious views of Rame Head. Just a mile south of Millbrook lies Whitsand Bay with its miles of uncrowded sandy rnli patrolled beach and dramatic cliffs. A superb base for discovering the wild side of Cornwall.

The communication from the owners was excellent and they did everything possible to make our stay pleasant and stress free. This is a prime example of how it should be when you are renting a property and something for others to aspire to. Thank you again Maggie and Tim.

Everything you might need has been thought of and communication with the owners was great, especially all the thoughtful advice on what to do in the area and best places to eat. A beautiful house, we absolutely loved our stay.

Everything was catered for in the house with nice touches like milk and wine left for us. It was just a short walk to the local shop and pub, and a play park for the grandchild. The house was lovely and clean and the garden was beautiful although we couldnât make full use of it because of the weather. The owner welcomed us and was really friendly. Would definitely stay again.
