Very good

Property was well equipped and was ideally suited for exploring cornwall. Stunning views of the beach from the balcony bedroom and living room! The sound of the waves crashing was just magical.
What a lovely, clean and well equipped property. Such a pleasant and lovely surprise when entering the property to see a spacious and welcoming apartment. The setting is perfect and so peaceful with the beach close by.
Lovely beach at Millendreath. Lots to see at Looe.
Not so much to do when it is raining. A visit to Polperro is a must.
Nice accommodation, well appointed, but avoid if allergic to pets hair.
Had a fantastic stay, we all loved this place! And shall return.
The Apartment was clean, bright and cosy with everything we needed. It has a double room and a room with 2 single beds. The Balcony was great for sitting and admiring the stunning views of Millendreath Beach and surrounding area. Only small things are no gate to stop pets (we used our dog crate to block this) and small children as other reviews mentioned so we knew about this. There is also a grassed area halfway down the steps to take dog out early morning and last thing at night if needed. I would also recommend a torch for night time as there is not much site lighting but it is a very safe place.
Approximately 34 steps and a 3 minute walk to the beach with its Beach bar open till 10:30 pm and Beach cafe serving food from 9am till 6pm...both very nice and welcoming. Just a note dogs are allowed on the beach before 9am and after 6pm.
Lovely villa, clean and tidy. A lovely home from home.
We loved our stay here. The host very friendly and helpful. The people are lovely willing to help anyone. 2 Minutes walk to the beach which was great for our old dog. Dogs can go on the beach before 9am and after 6pm in the summer. It’s also not to far to walk in to looe , the walk is not for the faint hearted it’s has lots of stairs and hills it is well worth it, we walked in to looe nearly everyday. Lovely views where ever you look. Would definitely go again
What a fantastic 2 x week stay at this homely chalet. It had every utensil you could possibly want or need for making wonderful meals, comfy sofas, wonderful open plan kitchen/living room(so you can watch tv whilst cooking and have a chat).The double bed is so comfortable you feel completely enveloped in its fluffy duvet and marsh mallow pillows - simply divine. I will definitely be going back and must thank sally and Jane for their coordinated communication. Overall - Excellent holiday home. Many thanks Kaz Xx
Lovely property with amazing views of the beach just a short walk to the beach, brilliant week from start to finish the only negative thing is could do with a shop on site will definitely vist again.
Upon arrival the site manager was rather elusive and it was a cleaner who was more help in answering any questions we had. With no Internet access owing to low or no signal she helped find us wear we were staying and I can't praise her enough. Now apart from this I can only recommend this holiday Village. It's as it says right on a private beach, has a cafe which isn't great but adequate, and a beach bar which is really nice with good and friendly staff and a good range of drinks. The accommodation is comfortable with a good size terrace to relax and just look out to sea.
A lovely area to visit. Villa is in an ideal location. Lots to do. A comfortable apartment. A large balcony/patio area with amazing sea views.
We really enjoyed our trip and would definitely come back.
We had a great week in this lovely, friendly, quiet (but popular) resort with fabulous views of the sea and woodland. The coastal walk to Looe became an almost daily ritual.
The only negative was the accommodation which was pretty tired and shabby and really not very clean. I’d read reviews that had mentioned this but hoped that during a global pandemic, this would have improved. I didn’t contact anyone as felt that if that was the standard during a time of having extra precautions and protocols, there was little hope :-(
We took our own bedding which we were glad about. Would suggest taking a clothes airer too as the one provided is weeny.
Great location, lovely apartment, good sea view!
Thankyou!

Good overall
From the start everything was good upon arrival location is superb accommodation is good but felt with COVID the accommodation should been cleaned better
It was a lovely comfortable stay in the villa, great views. Comfortable bed, great place to relax. Quiet and peaceful. Couple of minutes by car to Looe. Ten minutes to Polperro, great little fishing village. Would definately recommend staying here. Will go again no problem.
Fantastic break staying in this hillside villa. Views are fantastic and the valley is just gorgeous. We've stayed in the holiday village previously and just love it. So peaceful and beautiful.
The villa itself, is a little tired but seems like maybe its a work in progress, hopefully the bathroom is the next priority.
Point to note, if you're taking your canine friend, as we did, there is no gate on the balcony so we had to use the patio table to block the gap but also very conveniently located for his bedtime pee is a patch of grass just a few steps down from the villa.
Overall though, everything we needed was on hand and we had a wonderful stay. Thankyou.
Fab location , right next to beach , elevated position so great sea views, huge balcony brilliant for the dogs, digs allowed on the beach before 9 and after 6 without a lead , so it was great at 6pm all the dogs playing together on the beach , doggy heaven , but Seaton beach and downderry beach close by allow dogs without leads day and night, perfect size apartment for us , it's not a 5* apartment but you don't want that if you have dogs in there , it's perfectly adequate and comfortable, had a fab stay , would stay again anytime 👍♥️
Before booking I read the reviews including the ones that mentioned issues with cleaning, but I thought that they were written by people who like to find fault. I have never before in my life written a negative review but on this occasion I feel like I have a duty to inform others so that the cleanliness issues don't ruin anybody else's holidays,l.
This is especially important during this time of Covid 19 were cleanliness is even more important. Upon arrival at the chalet I found very large cobwebs in all rooms around windows, curtains, corners of the rooms and even in the kitchen food cupboards. We also discovered a tangerine on the floor between the sofa and the setee. I also found that one of the bedrooms has a sweaty smell and later discovered dirty socks left by previous guests in the inches of dust down the side of bed. I also found inches, yes inches of dust behind the bed. With the amount of dust found I would estimate that it had been years since it was throughly cleaned. I took photographs and sent them to the owner so that they could see the extent of the issue but the owner did not seem bothered and failed to get back in contact with me. The chalet is in a fantastic location and could be a brilliant holiday rental if the cleaning issues are resolved. Unfortunately the cleaning issues ruined my holiday and I did not even receive any apology from the owner. I would not recommend the apartment and I certainly will not be staying there again.
Lovely location , we were able to bring our dogs on holiday too which was great. Chalet was clean and well presented , kitchen was modern and also had a washer/ dryer which I found very handy ☺️ Lots of great walks and the beach was lovely

Relaxing week at Millendreth
On our arrival to the property there was a little confusion with our check in time and unfortunately the villa was not ready and had not been cleaned from the previous guest who had left it rather dirty, this was rectified with a simple phone call and 3 ladies arrived within the hour and cleaned the villa to a very high standard.
The whole area is lovely with access to the private beach a short walk away.
This property is advertised as suitable for pets, the only drawback was there was not a gate on the patio area.
Although the Villa has fantastic views of the sea this does come with the drawback of being on the second level with around 30 uneven steps with no lighting at night can be very dangerous.
Anyone with small children on the beach be aware we did find several dinner plate sized clear jelly fish believed to be Moon jellyfish.
We would very much like to stay here again and enjoyed our week.

About the host
Hosted by Sally Eaton
This much loved holiday home was orginally owned by my mother who spent many weeks in the villa enjoying the views, sightseeing and walking. I now have the pleasure of owning the villa and spending whatever time I can there enjoying relaxing days. An early evening will often be spent swimming in the sea whilst the sun is setting.
Why they chose this property
Lovely views to the hills on one side and sea on the other.
What makes this property unique
Small cove beach with facilities. Tranquility and beauty.
