The Old Milking Parlour

Accommodation was excellent as was the information provided in the cottage on places to visit and from the owner's family who live in adjacent farmhouse especially Ellen who was so helpful giving me lots of ideas on the best beaches, walks and local restaurants - so welcoming.

Welcoming hosts.

A clean and comfortable stay. Ideal situation for the Eden Project and Lost Garden of Helligan.

The Old Milking Parlour is an amazing place to stay in Cornwall.

Everything you need to enjoy your stay is provided and the view of the coast is perfect. Great fun watching the sheep in the field and star gazing at night. The owners are so friendly and helpful, and even invited us up to their balcony to watch the eclipse. Would happily recommend staying here for a perfect family holiday.

Excellent.

The Old Milking Parlour is a great place to stay.

From the welcome from our hosts to the farewell from them it was good. The place was so comfortable and we so enjoyed watching the sheep from the patio with the sea in the distance. I would definitely recommend it.

This cottage has to be one of my all time top 10 places to stay.

The vendors are lovely people and were very willing to make our stay a comfortable one. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted, we needed to bring nothing, everything was provided, from washing up liquid to tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, towels hand cleaner and just about anything else you would require on a holiday visit to Cornwall. Thank you for a very pleasant experience.

A very nice property centrally located near St Austell with good access to all local tourist spots particularly the Eden Project easy access to main routes allowing many day or evening trips to coastal villages Lands End as well as Devon coast.

Property is very comfortable with modern amenities, well maintained with great welcome and advice from hosts. We had a very enjoyable week and would recommend this Old Milking Parlour to anyone! Loved it!

The cottage was very clean with everything you would expect.

With windows open the road noise was loud for me as I live very rural. The weather did not allow us to sit on the beautiful glass surround patio with views of the sheep and distant sea. Ideal cottage for visiting many of the Cornish gardens. Good local amenities.

The photos don't do this property justice.

It is tucked away from the main road with sea views and sheep for company. The owners live next door and were very friendly and helpful. Everything was very well thought out in terms of the layout, and items that were in the house. In the kitchen there was actually space to unpack your food and all utensils etc you could need. The lounge was cosy with patio doors onto patio with table (we ate outside every day). We were blessed with fantastic weather it was a great base for exploring the coastline and visiting Eden Project and other nearby attractions.

A lovely,comfortable,well equipped cottage with great views.

Lots of lovely places to visit nearby.

Well maintained.

Friendly hosts. Very comfortable. Everything you needed. Great views across the fields to the sea view. Very peaceful, no traffic noise. Excellent parking. Very easy drive to the Eden Project.

We had a great week at The Old Milking Parlour.

The furnishings were comfortable, the owners helpful and the kitchen very well equipped. From lounge and patio there is a view across a green sheep-field with the sea in the distance. Highly recommended. One small oddity - take slippers, as the shower room is accessed through the hallway where you may have left muddy boots. (Also a separate bathroom with shower over, not suffering from this small problem.)

This is a really lovely, cosy, home from home.

There is everything you need available for a break. The whole flat was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The huge bed in the main bedroom was comfortable and there is a lot of space for hanging clothes. The lounge looks out over a field with sheep grazing. There is a good-sized patio which we were able to sit on in March, {we were lucky with the weather}. It is close to so many places that appealed to us. The Lost Gardens of Heligan were beautiful and great for walks. Port Issac is stunning. Just check places are actually open before you travel as in March some places were not opening until Easter. The family who owns it are friendly and helpful. Thanks for an amazing stay. We will recommend you to firends and family.

This is our second time staying at “The Milking Parlour” and it remains on our list of highly recommended properties.

Ellen and John are extremely thoughtful, and made us so very welcome that we now see them as “friends”. The Parlour is spotlessly clean, comfortable, and meets our needs at every level. Thank you for a relaxing and very happy holiday stay.

A fantastic holiday property.

..excellent facilities...comfortable &in a great location...would definitely visit again!

An excellent property, close to lots of activity.

It was well equipped, warm and comfortable and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

We couldn’t have asked for more.

The accommodation was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There was everything we needed and more. The best accommodation we have ever stayed in and WILL definitely be returning

The photos don't do this property justice.

The rooms are bigger than you think and of a high standard. Everything has been thought of, right down to the little things often missing when we've stayed in places before. The view is impressive. There's a Chinese takeaway, petrol station with a shop and a pub close by. The owners came to say hello and made sure everything was fine but then left us to it. We plan on visiting again next year

The property met all our needs and more.

The owners were kind and very friendly. We felt that some of the photos didn’t quite do the bungalow justice. It really is beautiful and spotlessly clean, with every convenience on site or close at hand. Even though we visited in November, it was clear to see that at the right time of year, the Patio with furniture, would be a great place to sit and enjoy the wonderful views out over sea. We hope to return to “The Milking Parlour” very soon. Dave

An absolutely brilliant property!

Clean, comfortable accommodation offering everything you need for self catering in a quiet location with distant sea views. We were made to feel very welcome and would certainly recommend The Old Milking Parlour to future guests and we hope to return very soon.

I would thoroughly recommend this property for a holiday, it's in a beautiful location with a sea view which is a bonus, quiet setting with just sheep in the field, it's so relaxing just to sit and watch them.

The property was emaculate warm and comfortable with everything you need when you arrive especially when you need that cuppa after a long drive, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place and we would definitely be wanting to return. The supermarket's are a short drive away plus an indoor market which is huge with an eatery inside definitely worth going to the Eden project is just a short drive away.The owner's live next door but let you get on and are extremely accommodating and lovely people

We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was very clean and comfortable with excellent kitchen equipment and great knives .. too often we have had to hunt for a decent knife in holiday homes ! Good WiFi as well. The SuperKing zip and link bed was a plus as often in smaller properties there is not a bed that caters for taller folk ! Lovely rural outlook with sheep in the field, from the lounge and modern outside terrace. The owners were very helpful and friendly and suggested a good local fishmonger and butchers. Local pub 2 minutes away and other decent eateries and pubs nearby. Beaches within 15 mins drive. Altogether a perfect location and house for us and we would definitely visit again ! Heather and Ian

Outstanding.

Immaculately clean and a well equipped holiday property. 10/10. Exceptionally good hosts, welcoming, helpful but not intrusive. Sea views were an extra bonus. Would highly recommend. Will be rebooking, Can’t wait to return next year. Caroline and Jim.

Excellent cottage, very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

Good location.

Really convenient location for exploring Cornwall.

Clean and comfortable with friendly hosts next door. Lovely view out over the fields towards the sea. We would highly recommend Old Milking Parlour.

Despite the washing machine not working ( could use the neighbours one) and a dripping tap, which was fixed while we were there, every thing was very comfortable.

Owners were very accommodating and left us a box of chocolates for the inconvenience The photo,s on Skye’s web site do not do the property justice it is much better than it looks!

We loved our stay at the The Old Milking Parlour, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable!

The owners were lovely and very helpful with information on places to go and good places to eat!

Perfect !

We would highly recommend The Old Milking Parlour, we will be sharing with family & friends. The accommodation offers everything you could possibly want. The sea view was a bonus we didn't expect, we will definitely be back. The owners are next door should you need them & we enjoyed a chat with them. 5☆

A lovely comfortable cottage with everything catered for.

Lovely friendly owners who were very helpful. Great location too!

Owners live next door and were very welcoming and helpful on arrival.

But did not intrude on our holiday.

Amazing property, great location, wonderful hosts, super views.

Would definitely stay there again.
