Idiosyncratic chalet-style holiday village property close to the sea
Nice tidy 'for rental' appointed chalet style accomodation at the top level of five or six rows of near identical units. Great view, and well sheltered for the on-shore breeze that seems to blow most days. The 20 electricity top up was a nice touch, and we didn't consume all of it, so power was effectively free. Beds were super comfy, kitchen had everything we needed, and more, shower worked well. Only real downside was the patio seating was simply a wooden bench-n-table, and no chairs, and no lounger(s) as mentioned in the listing (maybe they were round the back and we didn't see 'em?).The family is fairly fit and active, but the 62 steps up to the villa might prove hard for less able guests. But overall, good value for money.
We had a wonderful stay at Keith's property in Millendreath. On check in on Friday we were really impressed with the location and quality. Keith checked in with us (he was there on holiday too) and ensured everything was perfect. We used the property as a base and was out throughout the days in Truro, Eden Project and Newquay and it was lovely to come back to. Beach is 2 mins walk and the beach shack was great to eat and drink at.
The property is clean and well maintained there are a significant amount of steps to get to it (I counted 62 in all) but the views at the top are worth it. One word of warning though, I found out to my dismay that there was no network coverage at the property so you can't access the email containing your key code to get in the property when you arrive so make a note of it beforehand. I didn't and had to walk back down all those steps to the main car park to get reception and access the email before climbing all 62 steps again. Also parking isnt free, you have to park in the main car park as permit only parking closer to the property. Al this aside we had a great stay, the beach bar is excellent and the whoule area quiet and pleasant. If you dont mind the steps its well worth the visit.
Overall we had a lovely stay, the living room and kitchen were nicely decorated, sofas and beds really comfy. Great to have a smart TV and WiFi as there is no phone signal.
Not all of the details given were correct and some information was missing. There are 63 steps up to the property, unfortunately I have a bad knee so this was difficult.
Keith, the host was really helpful and approachable.
Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet wie beschrieben und groĂzĂŒgig geschnitten. Fenster leider alt und milchig. Sollten getauscht werden fĂŒr Meerblick. Schade.
Excellent location for exploring east of Cornwall. Comfortable accommodation with a terrace overlooking the beach. Would definitely stay here again. Access is via a steep set of steps, so bear this in mind, but this is the price you pay for a great sea view. Thanks to Keith (the owner) for helping us to have a fantastic family holiday.
We enjoyed our stay. The view is just phenomenal. In all, it is a nice place to stay, as long as you don't minde the many steps. However, kitchen utensils are a bit scarce, parking was not included and the outside furniture was a wooden picnic table.
Communication with the owner was a bit difficult: mail seems not to be a preferred way of communication. A phone call did the job - nice and friendly chap. In the end he does take care that everything is fine.
Thank you!
We had a little issue with getting into the property due to not receiving a welcome email from Vrbo but upon contacting Keith he told us how to access the property and also some of the great things to do around the area which was very helpful.
The property was lovely and clean and the view was great, had to pay parking for a week which was only ÂŁ20 so very reasonable.
Everything we needed was in the property and the large outside space was great to have dinner on an evening or breakfast outside in the morning sun.
Looe was a pleasant 20 minute walk along the coast path which was lovely to do on an evening.
The beach which is visible from the property was nice and the sea was calm which made it perfect to paddle board.
A very nice location and a good size for our group of 4. Comfortable with all the basics required for a self catering holiday. Worth the climb up the steps for the very nice viewâŠ. Quiet and private beach which would have been lovely in better weather. Good base to explore from - could benefit from better lighting around car park and resort but this not the ownerâs responsibility. Overall no a very enjoyable stay.
Lovely clean property not far from the beach and only a short walk into Looe. Had a lovely patio with views over the bay, great place to sit and enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. We saw buzzards flying overhead and heard owls calling to each other in the evening. The only downside for some might be that the property is set on a hill side and you have to climb approximately 4 flights of steps to get to it, although that wasn't a problem for us!. All in all we had an enjoyable stay and would go back.
