About this property
A ten minute lane walk from Millbrook and from the big sandy beach at Whitsand Bay via a cliff path is Tregonhawke Farmhouse, the origins of which go back to the 16th cent. It is set over two levels and has been a family home for generations surviving much turbulent history. Enter from the garden through the porch, kicking off your coats and boots as you go into the big fitted farmhouse kitchen with table, chairs and benches in the middle; walk through to the equally big living room with wood burner and then across a slate-floored hall to a second sitting room with TV. This room leads through to a double bedroom with door to garden. At ground level is a shower-room and separate toilet. Head up the stairs to five more bedrooms a double with a single, a double, a twin with low door lintel, another twin, and a single all very individual and prettily done. Two family bathrooms. To one side is a very pretty, enclosed garden with large lawn, garden furniture and BBQ. Mature trees and farmland surround it and about a three minutes walk away there is a coarse fishing lake (carp, tench, roach, rudd, bream and perch some as large as 25lbs!). Absolutely great for large family group or groups of friends.
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.

Although quite basic inside it was perfect for what we wanted and once we were in and had unpacked it felt like home. Wonderful log burner, we got through a lot of logs! It would be nice to have a bit more furniture in the bedrooms, mirrors, dressing table, shelves or just a chest of drawers so we could put things away and a few rugs would be nice as the weather wasn't that great and it started to get a bit chilly and damp. Kitchen really well equipped, kettle a bit leaky! A fabulous holiday with friends and a nice place to stay. Great that we had the free parking places at the top of the hill so we could use the beach - which is AMAZING! Highly recommend the surf lessons.

Enough crockery and pans to cook for a big group. We were visited by two frogs about the size of a moth.They donât do any harm. Maybe if people donât like them some cheap solar lights by the doors would deter them. Approached by narrow winding roads with hedgerows, There is ample parking space on site we had four cars. You would have to drive if you need supplies or go for a day out. Roads so narrow you have to back down to allow oncoming cars to get past. Nearby beach is a challenge a deep incline to reach, a little cafe but no WC. Despite this we had quality time as a large family. Eight adults three children .

The place was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We all enjoyed ourselves. Lovely family house.
