This is definitely the best holiday home we have ever stayed in and there have been many. Only 1 very small inconvenience - sadly no good dog walks directly from cottage. So 99.9% perfect!

Location was perfect location for places like seaton and looe. Very peaceful and nice listening to all the birds at night. Cottage was very clean and a good size for a family of 4 and a dog. Will be stopping again in the future. Also the neighbour was amazing letting me and my daughter feed his 3 horses in the morning

Just come home from a lovely week in Milkmaids Cottage. The cottage is spotlessly clean, warm, very comfortable and has everything that you could want for a family holiday. They even provided dog treats and dog bags for our Westie. The weather wasn't brilliant but the fact that there was a log burner and access to Netflix and Amazon Prime on the twRead moreo smart tv's made it a lot more enjoyable than it could have been. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future. The Willcocks Hide
