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.

We went for a family holiday, and that is what we were able to enjoy - with lots of family and friends staying at the house, including a 5-month old baby. The property is large and probably best suited to parties like ours - who need plenty of living space in a lovely location with the opportunity to get to the beach easily or out on walks. It's not suited to those looking for snug hideaways - but that should be obvious to anyone looking at it. It was terrific for us - large and clean and really well located. When we needed to contact the owners they were easy to contact and very helpful. Thank you. It was a great family holiday and the house was a central part of that.

We loved seeing the local wildlife and the farm animals from out of the windows. We used the local Co op in Milbrook a couple of times and enjoyed the fish and chips from Ben's Plaice. Two lovely meals in The Edgecombe Arms in Cremyl. Just a couple of niggles. The downstairs bedroom was a tad dark for us. The beach is lovely however wasn't accessible for some of our group due to the steepness of the climb down. Saying that it wouldn't put us off booking again.
