Millbrook 1.9 miles. Solana, an impressively-positioned, two-bedroom bungalow enjoys 180-degree sea views in Millbrook, Cornwall.

Take in the stunning views, encompassing your new abode, before stepping indoors to reach the open-plan living space, bordered by turquoise waters in the backdrop. The kitchen is fully-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can prepare meals to be enjoyed around the dining table for four, or if the weather allows, dine alfresco in a prime location. With plush seating to sink into, unwind and plan your impending itinerary in the sitting area, before completing your nightly routine in the sleek shower room. Two double bedrooms await, where you can make yourself at home and catch some rest, before exploring the area, heading into the village for your essential’s amenities. A popular activity with visitors, don your walking boots and follow the trails along the Rame Peninsula, stopping off at several of the bays and beaches dotted along the route, including Cawsand Beach, Cleave Beach, and Sandways Beach. Continuing north, be sure to stop off at Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, a fun-filled day for all the family, where you can tour the magnificent home, enjoy an alpaca experience, or segway around the external grounds, whilst Barn Pool Beach offers a further seaside landscape to enjoy, along the coastal path. With Dartmoor National Park within reach, along with Plymouth, its Mayflower Museum, harbour, gin distillery and much more, there's plenty to see and do from Solana.
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.

It had everything you could possibly need for a holiday. The steps leading to the cottage are steep but no problem for us.

. There is absolutely nothing you wouldnât love about this place. Everything and more is just as described . I would highly recommend any one who was thinking about booking a stay at Solana to not hesitate. Itâs absolutely stunning there . Immaculately clean . And the added touch of a cream tea when we arrived . Would love to go back at some point . Thank you Solana for a great stay .

Everything was clean, it was bright and well equipped. The beds were great. Parking is little bit complicated as the parking space is quite small. But this is the same with most of the roads to the house. There were only 2 things we missed. A usable clothes airer even only to dry towels. 4 chairs for the garden. In total we really enjoyed our stay and recommend it without restrictions to others.
