    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Water Mill cottage, it was super clean and comfortable and had everything I needed. The hot tub and log burner were a very welcome option on a gloomy December day. A car is definitely needed but I knew that before booking. Thank you, Jane & Graham

    We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Water Mill. It is well equipped, warm, and comfortable. The bedrooms are both of a good size, and the kitchen had all that we needed for our meals. The hot tub was lovely in the evenings - even when it rained (it's under a roof)! East Trenean Farm is well-located with lots of fascinating places to visit nearby. We managed to fit in a visit to Liskeard and Looe, with a walk from there to Polperro - highly recommended! We also went to the Wheal Martyn China Clay museum, the St Austell Pinetum, and Tintagel castle. Again, all very interesting places within an hour's drive. Charging the car at the farm was very easy too, and having a dedicated parking space helped. All in all, an excellent holiday and a great place to stay!

    This was our second time staying at the Water Mill, East Trenean Farm. The accomodation was spotless and very welcoming. Large bedrooms with huge comfortable beds. The hot tub is fantastic and was great to relax in after a day of walking on the moors and cliff tops! Location is perfect, you are surrounded by lovely views and a short drive from beaches and shops as well as several lovely pubs. We love this place and will be back.

    We had a wonderful four-night stay with our two young children. The place is full of thoughtful little details that made it really special – from the little welcome hamper with tea, biscuits and cake, to cosy night lights that double as torches, and even bath robes for the children to use after the hot tub. The accommodation itself was warm, comfortable, and very well-equipped. The beds were big and inviting, the kitchen had everything you could need (all high-end), and having washing and drying facilities was a real bonus. We loved the internal fire, the barbecue, and the hot tub – all perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location is excellent, with direct access down into Looe, a large supermarket nearby, and plenty of family-friendly activities in the area. On-site, the kids loved the little park and especially feeding the chickens. The views are beautiful, and it really does feel like a peaceful retreat. The hosts were fantastic – always available on WhatsApp and so attentive throughout our stay. All in all, a really lovely stay – highly recommended.

    Stayed in The Water Mill cottage over bank holiday weekend and have to say, we were hugely impressed with the accommodation. Everything was immaculate throughout and every detail covered. Appreciated the welcome box of goodies, milk in the fridge and good quality amenities. Would definitely recommend to others visiting the area and perfect for both couples and families.

    We had a wonderful time staying in Water Mill cottage at East Trenean Farm. The owners make sure that the cottage is well equipped with everything you could possibly ask for. The beds were extremely comfortable and the hot tub adds a splash of luxury. Also, the EV Charger was extremely useful and good value. The cottage is well situated to visit local villages such as Looe and Polperro. We really enjoyed our second visit to Water Mill cottage and would love to return.

    We had a terrific stay with Graham and Jane, with nearly two weeks in The Water Mill. The home was spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard - deserving of its 5-star Visit England rating. The goodies on arrival were most welcome and we also enjoyed meeting the sheep and hens. Although we stayed nearly a fortnight, we really did not want to leave!

    We had a fantastic three nights at the Water Mill with our two boys, 11 and 15. The cottage was immaculate and perfect for our needs. The hot tub was a very welcome addition to unwind after a days activities! The location is peaceful, yet close enough to many attractions and places to eat. Jane and Graham were fantastic hosts, providing lots of information about the local area, and on hand if there were any issues (we had none!). I would recommend East Trenean Farm cottages without hesitation for anyone looking for accommodation near Looe. Thank you for a lovely stay!

    We had a wonderful stay at the Water Mill with our 17 month old little boy. Graham and Jane are lovely and extremely accommodating, adapting the cottage for our little boy with baby gates, high chair etc. ready on our arrival. The cottage and hot tub is beautiful, very clean and cosy! The hot tub area is very private and so peaceful, it was a wonderful wind down after a busy day! The only thing we would say is master room mattress wasn’t particularly comfortable and there are no child locks on the kitchen cabinet doors, but it was manageable, we just moved any breakables to wall cupboards instead. We would definitely not hesitate to return. Beautiful part of the country. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Photos on the website are accurate, so everything came up to expectation. The two bedroomed cottage was spacious and very well equipped. Every aspect in the cottage has been carefully designed, a lovely light airy kitchen, cosy sitting area and two large bedrooms, with very comfortable beds. It has two lovely gardens which catch the sun all day. The hot tub is very secluded too. Looking forward to a future visit.
