We had a lovely stay. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The Cottage was maybe a bit too remote for our taste, but very cozy with a lovely garden.
We had a great stay, Pete and Kay were very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.
The cottage was quaint, comfortable and set within an idilic garden with a river running through.
Great location for exploring along the north coast.
We couldnât have asked for more!
Thanks, we hope to stay again one day :)
When you pull up to the property, you are literally blown away as it is the sweetest cottage set in a magical, fairytale like woodland in a wild but beautifully maintained garden with your own stream, which we could not get our dogs out of! There are different little areas like a terrace (perfect for breakfast) and a BBQ area tucked away in the ferns with ample seating, allowing you to make the most of your environment. The cottage itself is so pretty and quaint and had literally everything you could need. The welcome note, fresh flowers, scones, clotted cream, jam and strawberries were a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome. The bed was lovely and comfortable and waking up to the sound of the babbling stream was wonderful. Kay and Peter, the owners, were located across the stream and invited us up to theirs for drinks one sunny evening and they are the most charming couple you could ever hope to meet, so much so that we have offered them a house swap with our property in the Cotswolds should they themselves ever want a break away - although I don't know why they ever would as they live in a truly wonderful part of the world. Many thanks for everything as myself, my partner and our pups had the best time ever :) xx
the cottage was so lovely with the beautiful garden close to the stream. The house is clean and comfortable. When it gets cooler you can heat it up in the oven. the bathroom is modern and the kitchen has everything you need. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.
Kay and Pete were very friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed our time with them
My husband and I booked this beautiful cottage for a week of peace and quiet and that was exactly what we got. The property is straight off a chocolate box, absolutely stunning and also immaculate. The pictures donât do it justice. The gardens, the stream and surrounding countryside are beautiful. We received a welcome pack and note from the owners which was a lovely surprise and much appreciated after a long trip down.
The location whilst slightly remote is never more than an hour (ish) to travel somewhere. We visited a lot of places in Cornwall in the space of a week and the journey to and from the cottage was never an issue.
The lack of wi-fi could be an inconvenience if you canât live without your phone, but the peace quiet and natural beauty of the cottage and the surrounding areas more than make up for that. It has been a joy to have stayed here.
Anderton mill was a beautiful place to stay. Lots of beautiful woodland and plant to explore and see. Very quiet and peaceful. No mobile signal but its perfect if you want to escape the outside world for a bit. The cottage was very clean and tidy had everything we needed for our week away.
What a wonderfull retreat, lovely built by the owners themselfs, perfectly mantained with so much thought and care: the house and the garden. Although situated in a valley you have through many sitting areas the joy of the sun throughout the day. In the evening you can make fire in the oven. The kitchen is well equipped, nothing left to be wanted. Many possibilities for walks and hike nearby. But a car is needed for daytrips. Will come back for sure
Where to begin the house and grounds were to die for so peaceful just what we wanted. My granddaughter absolutely loved it and she's only 3 so much to do from fishing to walking playing ball.
Kay and Pete were the best hosts so friendly and very welcoming. When we arrived we had lots of goodies the scones jam and cloted cream are my favs much appreciated thankyou kay. We will definitely be returning that's for sure
We had a lovely stay at the cottage which was nicely secluded and quiet. The cottage was very sweet and well equipped. Some areas could have done with updating which would have made it 5*. The grounds were nice but some inaccessible like the treehouse and higher fields. Possibly some little signs would have helped too. The owners were lovely and went out of their way to check in and make sure all was well.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday âș
Das Cottage liegt traumhaft, der Garten und die Terrasse sind ein Traum. Den oberen Sitzplatz mit Abendsonne und Grill haben wir oft genutzt. Es war fast zu schade, fĂŒr AusflĂŒge das GrundstĂŒck zu verlassen (Achtung, durch die StraĂenverhĂ€ltnisse dauert alles lĂ€nger, als wir das gewöhnt sind). Die Wirtsleute sind sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Fazit: jederzeit wieder!
Gem of a hideaway, just you the birds,and the babling valency river,no road noise,just peace and quiet,rarely see passing tractor, sit out front on the patio furniture or relax around the back on the terrace, plus loungers on a lower patio area. No access to the internet and phone services not too good there, but we did not miss any of these ,it was quite a relief not too have them working. Nice weather was had and not far from Boscastle/Tintagel or Bude. Will return next year
The cottage was comfortable and cosy and equipped with everything needed. The location could not have been better, such a peaceful and relaxing garden. Great to see the history of the property in photos. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Would highly recommend.
An absolutely beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. For anyone looking for a quiet relaxing holiday, look no further. This cottage is delightful and a perfect place for anyone looking to chill but also a great base for anyone looking to tour the north Cornish coast. Can't wait to return.
We had a wonderful stay here. The garden and cottage is beautiful and the owners were very helpful and delightful to meet. They have thought of everything you might need and it is all there at the cottage.
We were lucky enough to spend the first proper week of full sunshine in months at this incredible property. All of us, adults, kids (nine and 11) and dog enjoyed cooling off in the beautiful stream that runs through the grounds. Itâs a great base to explore much of North Cornwall and beyond, but sometimes itâs great not to leave Anderton Mill at all, itâs just so peaceful and there is a sun trap around every corner. The owners, Pete and Kaye, were incredibly helpful and we could only not take them up on their offer to come over for a birthday drink for my wife (they are building a house up the road) because I was âpingedâ in the very last hours of a holiday and needed to self isolate. A great holiday in an unforgettable location.
Beautiful place to stay for a week of relaxation. Great location for exploring the popular attractions and enjoying the local beaches.
Friendly helpful hosts.
Highly recommended.
Just come back from a week at Anderton Mill. The cottage had been lovingly restored by Peter and Kaye and is home from home. Idyllic location with only the sound of birds and the river flowing. Ideal location for trips to the North Cornish coast. Daymer beach, Trebarwith Strand, Boscastle, Padstow to name but a few within easy reach and worth a visit. Peter and Kaye made us very welcome with a bottle of bubbly for my birthday and cream teas! Highly recommend this beautiful cottage and itâs extensive grounds, perfect for our four legged friend and a relaxing retreat for us!
We stumbled across Anderton Mill by chance when walking in the area. At the time it was a complete ruin but we fell in love with its stunning position in the Valency Valley. We spent the next 15 years lovingly restoring it, as time and money allowed. It is now a very special home. We were delighted to receive Rural Property of the Year Award for 2011. Although we visit often, we have been letting Anderton Mill for almost 20 years, with many of our guests returning year after year - the record being 16 years in succession! North Cornwall remains one of the least spoilt areas of Great Britain and the Vallency Valley is a very special place. We have spent many happy times here with our family and friends.
We always enjoy the peace and tranquility of the cottage; the abundance of wildlife and the variety offered by the seasons. Sitting outside on a warm evening is a real joy, listening to the river and gazing at stars we don't see in the city. This place is unique - something that our guests often comment on.
