The Mill Lodge

Everything! If we didn't need to move onto our next destination, we would have extended for 2 more days. We used Bees' lodge as a place where we could unwind and relax after travelling for nearly 3 months. She even came to check up on us 😊. Getting out of the crowds and big city lights was exactly what we needed and The Mill Lodge gave us that. We'll definitely be back!. Nothing

Bee went above and beyond; she was an exceptional host who truly went the extra mile to make our stay special. She explained the river and pond to us, and knowing we were traveling with a toddler, we were grateful for the safety heads‑up. She even offered to pop to the shop for our little boy when we arrived late in case we needed any food for him—a thoughtful touch. The lodge itself was spotless, beautifully presented, and stocked with every cleaning supply we could possibly need. The resident cat was an absolute delight and became a highlight of our holiday; seeing him each morning and evening was lovely, and our little boy pointed him out excitedly every time. The kitchen had a great variety of utensils, pots, and pans. Luxurious soaps and lotions were a nice bonus. The grounds were tranquil and peaceful, with emus next door adding a fun surprise to the setting. We had a fantastic stay and would happily return. Bee’s hospitality and the beautiful surroundings made it truly memorable. The only downsides were minor but worth mentioning: being close to the pond meant a lot of flies—understandable for the location, but it did become an issue. Our own trap (using dish soap and cider vinegar) didn’t help as much as we hoped, so some fly‑repellent plugs or fly tape in the cupboard would be useful for future guests. The front door seemed to expand in the heat, and we only managed to lock it once during our stay. It wasn’t ideal having it unlocked, but because the lodge is so secluded, we still felt safe.

We really enjoyed the peaceful location of the property. It’s tucked within dense woodland on a larger estate, so you feel surrounded by nature while still being within easy reach of the beautiful beaches on the Lizard Peninsula. A large Sainsbury’s is just a five‑minute drive away, which was convenient. Although the property is on the smaller side, it was ideal for a 2–3 night stay. The double bed was comfortable, and despite the slightly awkward cupboard layout, the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and kind throughout. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for a short stay of 1–3 nights. If you plan to stay longer, I’d suggest booking somewhere a bit larger. The property wasn’t as clean as it could have been; there was dust on the skirting boards, and the floor looked as though it hadn’t been washed properly for some time. Improving the cleanliness would make a big difference to the overall guest experience. The dishwasher was out of order, and there wasn’t a sponge provided for washing up, which was awkward to clean places etc. The hot water was set extremely hot and unfortunately burnt my partner. I’d recommend either reducing the water temperature or providing a clear warning for guests to avoid accidents.

“100% Recommend”

Bee was friendly, bubbly, and welcoming. She was very helpful with restaurant recommendations, taxi info, and other general tips on where we wanted to visit. The lodge was in a beautiful setting, comfortable, relaxing, and had everything you need. We visited Kynance Cove, which was a 30‑minute drive; it is absolutely gorgeous and highly recommended. In the evening we went to Porthleven, a short 15‑minute drive, ate at Talay Thai, and would say it is the best food I’ve ever tasted, so it’s a must if you visit! There are no negatives to share; we had a great weekend and will be back to stay at The Mill Lodge again soon!

“Fantastic little spot in the country.”

I stayed at a charming lodge tucked away in the forest, and it was incredibly cozy; Bee was always ready to lend a hand.
