“An absolutely beautiful property with fantastic facilities.”

We absolutely loved our stay, quite simply this is the necest accommodation we have ever booked. We have already booked for next year, as have some friends off the back of seeing our photos! This is a lovely property, the facilities are of the highest quality and the hot tub was amazing on the cold nights, the nicest way to drink a glass of wine! We highly recommend Mill House.

“The barn exceeds our expectations.”

Everything was more than we could ask for. The Mill House is one of 4 barns inside the property with loads of parking spaces. When we get inside the house everything was so clean and organise and the information book was really helpful as it contain from instructions about how to work appliances to information about places to eat nearby. It has a cozy fire place and they already provided some firewood, you can ask for more for a price but we already had enough on our stay. They had an all surround sound with a built in Ipad, they also have TVs in each bedroom. The hot tub was located outside - and all I can say is that we enjoyed that one. The kitchen has everything we could ask for, there utensils and baking stuff available. The owner Bridget, we met briefly but not seen her again but she was always one message away. It was really good as we enjoyed our privacy. We couldn’t asks for more, these gave us the feeling of self-catering accommodation but also felt like we’re staying in a hotel. We would recommend this barn to anyone.

Mrs Atwill September 2020

“Accommodation is superb.”

The quality of fixtures and fittings are excellent and everything you need to make your self catering holiday easy. Such lovely touches like the St Kitts toiletries and a welcome hamper with some delicious bread made by local baker Tom. Would definitely recommend and hope we stay here again in the future

“This Barn conversion is beautiful, designed well and cared for.”

Mrs Noble July 2020

“We visited Boskensoe Bands at the end of July and it exceed expectations in every way.”

The barn has been renovated to a beautifully high standard -I had major house envy! Location was perfect - 15 min drive from Falmouth / beach and the hot tub was an added bonus. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect family holiday - we were a family of 7 and when asked if the kids would rather go abroad next year, they unanimously agreed that they want to come back to the barn!

Mrs Castley July 2020

“Mill House is a beautiful place to stay.”

Decorated and equipped to an extremely high standard. A perfect space for a family holiday of all ages. The hot tub and bbq made for great evenings to be together. The Sonos and Netflix helped entertain the kids on rainy days. Most importantly it was very clean, spacious and homely and met all our expectations. We will certainly be coming back.

Mr Aldridge August 2019

“Being shown how to use certain facilities would have been useful.”

I have worked and managed rentals and have always met and greeted all Customers and gone through all electrical appliances. The accommodation was very nice and spacious, but not sure it was worth the money. The location wasn't very good. Our plan was to have as little driving as possible, sadly, that wasn't the case. Neighbours dog barking most of the day was an annoyance, very surprised people would take their dogs, just to be shut in all day. I find it difficult to recommend this holiday as the local areas were in short supply..... One pub, one small grocery store/post office.

- Mr Aldridge, August 2019

The first guest arrived 4 hours early whilst the property was being prepared. An offer to show him around the property was declined. The location of the property and distance to facilities is clearly listed on the website. The owners regret that this wasn't suitable for your party. They have otherwise only top marks from other guests. Sykes owner relations

“I’ve stayed in a lot of houses through Sykes & this by far beats them all.”

The house has everything you can imagine & more! It’s so luxurious. We loved it and will definitely be back!! Thanks Bridget!

“Our short holiday in Cornwall was a great success and made even better by our stay at Boskensoe Barns and we would really recommend this place.”

Miss Swanborough March 2019

“The accommodation was amazing, very modern, clean and perfect for our break.”

The open plan layout of the kitchen, lounge and dining area worked really well as it meant that we could all be together and no one was left out. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable and the high quality finish was the perfect finishing touch. I would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing break and have no reservations with booking the property again.

Miss Brown March 2019

“The barn conversion was amazing, with loads of little added extras to welcome you.”

We had an incredible week, which flew by!! The location was perfect, it wasn't too far away that it was remote but it was out of town so it was quiet. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!!

- Miss Brown, March 2019
Mrs Robins February 2019

“We all had so much fun !”

! From the beginning of entering the barn we were all amazed. It was big , spacious, clean and just out of this world. The owners of the property made us feel welcome from the time we arrived. The little sweetie jars left for the kids were a big hit, as was the netflix on the tvs. Adults thoroughly enjoyed the Hot Tub and surround sound music. We would love to return.

- Mrs Robins, February 2019
Miss Mason November 2018

“Thank you for a fantastic stay, the barn conversion was amazing and we wished we could have stayed longer.”

It was near everything we needed and everyone was friendly. The owners were very friendly and was on hand if we needed anything, the hot tub was great after a day out enjoying the scenery it was just what was needed. Great alreadly planning next years, but hopefully for longer, we all had a great stay Sandra

- Miss Mason, November 2018
Mr Pace November 2018

“The accommodation was beautiful.”

Luxurious and incredibly well equipped, it was clean and had everything we needed for the perfect weekend away. It was like staying in a high end hotel but with all the home comforts that you could possibly need. We would go back in a heartbeat and don't hesitate to recommend this to anyone. You will be completely impressed with the quality of the finish, attention to detail and excellent facilities.

Mrs Henden June 2018

“Mill House was a beautiful accomadation.”

Comfortable sofas. Comfortable beds. Comfortable dining chairs. Amazing music facility with the iPads in main area and one bedroom. It was great having the open plan living area as well as the private patio area outside. So safe for the toddler and baby. Very kind of the proprietor to leave us two cots and two high chairs. We will definately be back for more of this wonderful family holiday location.

- Mrs Henden, June 2018
Miss Seyfang June 2018

“Such an incredible holiday cottage!”

Beautifully decorated to an extremely high standard; it feels modern but comfortably cosy at the same time. We visited for a week as 5 adults and 3 kids aged between 2-6. The cottage has a gate for the stairs both at the top and bottom which was handy with little ones. The kids especially loved the garden which was private and not overlooked, the adults enjoyed the hot tub, beautiful kitchen and the real log fire. The cottage is in good location, walking distance to a little village and only 10 minutes drive to Falmouth town and beach. Plenty to do nearby, and even when you are staying at the cottage there is the communal play park for the kids to enjoy. The hosts were very friendly and there to help if needed. We had a problem with the Ipads locking and the gentleman came over immediately to fix it. You can really tell they put in lots of thought with the welcome tray of goodies including sweeties, jam and biscuits from the local area which I found a nice touch. A few tiny possible improvments I will mention just for the future... a couple more bin bags and laundry liquid pods would be ideal especially when 8 people are staying as they ran out half way through the week and filling up the salt and pepper shakers would also be good as it's just one of those things you do not think to bring or buy when there. Other than that, it was absolutely amazing and we can't wait to return.

“Amazing house, lovely rooms, huge hot tub, cozy wood burner.”

Mr Warner March 2018

“This has to be one of the nicest holiday cottages we have stayed in and we have stayed in quite a few.”

The quality of everything was exceptional. The house has been finished to a lovely standard in every way possible and there wasn't anything that you required that wasn't there. The owners were happy to answer any queries we had prior to our arrival and were very helpful and friendly whilst we were there. We were a party of 6 adults and one infant and had more than enough space. I would definitely stay in this accommodation again.

- Mr Warner, March 2018
Mr Watkins December 2017

“We spent Xmas 2017 in Mill House and we’re lucky to be the first family to stay.”

The barn was lovely and finished to a high standard. The owners very welcoming and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends and hope to go back one day.

About the location

MAWNAN SMITH

Falmouth 6 miles ; Helford Passage 1.5 miles ; Helston 12.5 miles

Located near the mouth of the Helford River in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Mawnan Smith is a pretty little village. It is home to a traditional pub overlooking the water, a restaurant, a church and a handful of shops. The surrounding area is perfect for ramblers, with an abundance of creekside and woodland walks, and subtropical gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah. The Helford River also offers opportunities for kayaking and sailing as well as fishing. The nearby maritime town of Falmouth is a popular resort, with a range of shops and restaurants, bowling alley and the National Maritime Museum…. Or why not catch the ferry from Helford Passage to Helford Village and explore the picturesque South Helford? Enterprise Boats offer trips up the River Fal from Falmouth to Truro, passing iconic maritime locations and landmarks as well as several ocean-going vessels which anchor in the river.

Region Information

Mill House is on a smoke free complex.
Note: Check-in time 5pm.
Note: Construction on a small ‘bat house’ (4m x4m x2m high) is due to start from the 10th August 2020 and will last for approximately 7-8 weeks (until early October). The ‘bat house’ will be located to the rear of the Long House and although there will be no visual disturbance, some of the work taking place may be audible from the garden of Mill House. Work begins from 9am until 5pm. Whilst it is not anticipated this will be of a level to detract from the enjoyment of your stay, as a goodwill gesture the owner would like to offer a 10% discount for any potential disturbance.
Note: Work will begin from September 25th on a new barn conversion opposite Mill House which is anticipated to last until June 2021. The owners will be erecting a hoarding alongside the garden fence to help limit any visual and sound disturbance. The first phase at the end of September (anticipated at 3 weeks) includes the removal of the fibre cement roof and wooden inner frame. This work will involve the use of a loader and electric hand tools. The second phase of work (which includes the demolition of the ground floor and re-build of the new barn) will immediately follow on from late October. As it is anticipated there will be some disturbance due to the work, the owners would like to offer a goodwill gesture of 25% for any inconvenience. Please note that work takes place Monday – Friday only (weekend visitors will be unaffected) and no work will take place over Christmas or New Year.
Note: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the communal play and BBQ areas are temporarily closed for guests safety. The owners are currently following government advice and regularly review the situation with a view to reopening once they feel it is safe to do so. This property does have its own private garden and BBQ.
