Willow Mill: Charming mill and barn in St Kew

In the heart of beautiful St Kew near Port Issac, a comfortable converted mill and barn (sleeps 8 and up to 6 respectively) set within wonderful peaceful gardens with woodland and a stream. Nestled below the church of St James and a short walk from the renowned St Kew Inn. Ideally located close to Port Isaac (Doc Martin), Polzeath (for surfing), Rock (sailing and windsurfing) and Padstow. A wonderful private place to retreat to after a day at the beach, sightseeing or walking the coastal path. The space Willow Mill and Little Barn share the same plot and are situated at either end of a 50m private drive, ideal accommodation for groups of friends and larger family groups. Willow Mill sits at the top of the drive and sleeps 8 people in four bedrooms (two super kings, one twin, one twin/superking). Little Barn, at the bottom drive, accommodates up to 6 in 3 bedrooms (one double , two singles in L shape bunks, and one double on a mezzanine).
