About this farm stay rental

In the heart of the beautiful village of St Kew near Port Issac, a comfortable converted mill and barn (sleeps 8 and up to 6 respectively) set within wonderful peaceful gardens with woodland and a stream. Nestled below the village church of St James and a short walk from the renowned St Kew Inn. Ideally located close to Port Isaac (Doc Martin), Polzeath (for surfing), Rock (sailing and windsurfing) and Padstow. A wonderful private place to retreat to after a day at the beach, sightseeing or walking the coastal path. Changeover day is Saturday unless otherwise agreed with the owner.

Willow Mill and Little Barn share the same plot and are situated at either end of a 100m private drive, ideal accommodation for groups of friends and larger family groups. Willow Mill sits at the top of the drive and sleeps 8 people in four bedrooms (two super kings, one twin, one twin/superking zip and link). Little Barn, at the bottom drive, accommodates up to 6 in 3 bedrooms (one double , two singles in L shape cabin bunks, and one double on a mezzanine). Great for all groups but being two separate buildings it is perfect for groups who may want independence or privacy such as those with young families or possibly grandparents looking for peace and quiet. A travel cot and high chair are at your disposal in both properties

Willow Mill and Little Barn are bordered by the River Amble and the village church of St James. The garden has lovely views of the church and if you are lucky you may hear the bells! The woodland area and stream are magical and great fun for exploring and den building. The stream will lead you to a lovely ford and footbridge. (Please see house rules regarding supervision of children and dogs within the grounds).The St Kew Inn is a very short walk away , a great pub serving local ales and delicious food.

Willow Mill is a fabulous house and a great location as near to all the places we love to visit and a short drive to numerous wonderful beaches. The local pub is lovely but a little expensive and we found the gardener and cleaner very helpful at the property. We also rented Little Barn to accommodate us all however this property is not to the same standard as Willow Mill and the mezzanine bedroom is very difficult to use as no head height at all. Sorry to say but the property seems to be very damp. Dispute this we had a lovely stay and a great family holiday and very luckily with the weather.

Beautiful cottage, perfect stay!
Beautiful cottage, perfect stay!
We had such a special week staying in both properties with our extended family and newborn baby. The location is great for exploring North Cornwall with one of my favourite pubs- the St Kew Inn a stones throw away. The properties were spacious, homely and immaculately cleaned. We can’t wait to come back!

We loved our time in St Kew, renting both the mill and cottage for a large family holiday. The location is lovely, with almost no traffic on the road outside. The bedrooms are spaced across two floors, giving a bit of privacy for older guests from any screaming kids! Reasonably well stocked kitchen in terms of utensils. The garden is kept in quite a wild state, but there is still room for ball games and a patio for relaxing. Hopefully will visit again in the future.

We have had another wonderful week at Willow Mill. The house has everything we needed, including a great selection of books to peruse in wet weather. The garden is looking autumnal and beautiful, we enjoyed making apple pie with some of the apples, and the children loved exploring and playing in the stream. The house is well furnished and was lovely and cosy and warm. We enjoyed lighting the downstairs woodburner, and the dog enjoyed snoozing in front of it. Sleeping in the upstairs room, dozing off to the sound of the stream is the best destress therapy. We also had a delicious meal at the local pub. Thank you, we are already missing it, and will definitely be back.

Beautiful but tired and needs a good clean
Beautiful but tired and needs a good clean
The mill house and barn are indeed in an idyllic setting and if given a good deep clean and redecorated they would be wonderful. Little Barn is very little and the owners have tried to squeeze too many beds into it, resulting in very cramped accomodation. Willow Mill is a lovely old house though the decor and some of the furnishings are very tired. Though not dirty neither property was up to the standard of cleanliness I would expect from a holiday rental, especially not at such a high end price range. Specifics: We found hair in the bathroom sink, the cooker hood extractor was filthy and dripped dirty oil onto our food. The barbecue was still dirty I assume from previous guests. The bath and floor were stained in Willow Mill and the ground floor shower very dark and dingy with stained dirty grout in the tiling, it needed completely retiling really. Kitchen cupboards in Willow Mill felt sticky. The owners didn't seem concerned when informed about the lack of cleanliness, and took some persuading to send someone to fix a bedroom door that didn't shut in Little Barn.
