An excellent cottage with all you need for a relaxing break. The location may be a little remote for some, but it was exactly what we were looking for. Second stay and already planning our next break to this cottage

The cottage was absolutely perfect in many aspects. It was spacious enough to accommodate our family including a toddler and 2 dogs ( crated ). The garden space is by far the best weve experienced in the UK and the views of the neighbouring cows is exquisite. The location is perfect, and gives you the opportunity to travel to multiple destinations Read morein a day; And being positioned on a dead-end track, you very rarely cross paths with anyone else. The kitchen is very well stocked with cutlery, plates, pots & pans and utensils which is clear the owners have done staycations and correcting where others go wrong. All of these are high quality too. Last, but not least, the welcome pack of Cleaning Pack, Tea & Coffee, Scones, Jam and Cream and a pint of Milk is just what you need after a long 8 hours car journey.. with 2 dogs and a toddler! I can 100% confirm we will be returning. Hide

A beautiful serene, peaceful home. The photos don't do the place any justice as it was everything you see online and more. Beautiful gardens to enjoy with lots of space for the kids and dog to run around in. Perfect location for exploring with plentiful footpaths through lush fields and coastal paths. Mousehole is only a 25 minute stroll througRead moreh the fields, with Lamorna cove 20 minutes in the other direction. The home itself is filled with thoughtful touches ready to welcome you and a kitchen that is great for cooking family meals. My only regret is that we didnt stay longer. Hide

This cottage is amazing. I would love it to be my home. It has everything you need to chill and relax. The best part is the cows that are on the joining field. They come very close to the fence. My children loved going to say hello everyday. Everything within the cottage is high quality and well looked after. I would love to visit again.

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was so lovely. Excellently equipped and so inviting. We all felt so relaxed here from the moment we arrived. Our dogs were also very relaxed and content. The area is so peaceful, but you also have the luxury of a short drive into Penzance. The recent renovations had definitely made the property much better.Read more We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back soon. The added bonus of the scones, cream and jam that had been left for us were a lovely surprise. Such a beautiful property and area Hide

We stayed at kemyel Mill House from 13th-20th September 2024 Beautiful country side building which could be stunning. Let down by the cleanliness and neglect (cleaner came in after complaining but we unfortunately we found more after she had left). Mold around bath, dust, dirt and cobwebbs everywhere, dirty freezer, smelly fridge, dirty and staineRead mored floors etc. Could do with new sofa's. The beds are lovely and comfortable although slats are not fixed on single beds. Garden table unusable as needs a lot of tlc and has plants growing out of it. The "stunning 360 summerhouse" as advertised is dangerous and also unusable as wood is rotting and is covered in green mildew and does not turn. We complained twice during our stay regarding the garden furniture but had NO response at all regarding this. It is such a shame because this is really a beautiful but neglected property. Hide

Kemyel is a beautiful property in a gorgeous location. The area is for those in search of the true heart and soul of Cornwall. Mousehole and Penzance are a heart beat away but at the end of the day you can return to the garden and sit in the late sun in total peace! Cows in the fields, wild flowers, bees and roses. We have returned home crested andRead more happy! Hide
