Anderton Mill, Lesnewth, Near Boscastle, North Cornwall, Boscastle, Cornwall inc Scilly, PL35 0BS

Well what can I say we have had yet another stunning week at Anderton Mill it really is a little bit of heaven. The weather was amazing. The mill itself is so beautiful and the surroundings are so peaceful. We absolutely love it here and would highly recommend it infact we love it so much we have just booked it for a fourth time can’t wait.

Wow...a beautiful haven with idyllic surroundings. The cottage is very roomy and equipped with everything you need for your stay including an amazing log burner in the lounge, outdoor bbq and fire pit. The cottage is within walking distance (an amazing walk) to Boscastle itself. Not too far a car journey away from some fantastic beaches and fishing harbours like Padstow and Port Isaac. A fantastic holiday for my husband and I and our 9 year old son who absolutely loved it. This was our first time at Anderton Mill and we will be returning.

My family been visiting this cottage every year since 2005. We love its idyllic location alongside the River Valency and surrounded by woodland. It is very peaceful as it is set well back from an already quiet road. There is a abundance of wildlife (we saw deer and lizards this visit) and the extensive gardens provide something of interest for all age groups. The children especially enjoy visiting the tree house, an adventure in itself!

Inside, the cottage is very spacious and it has everything a family needs to ensure a comfortable stay. the wood burning stove is a welcome feature if the nights are cool. The owners, Pete and Kay, could not be more helpful and they have continued to make improvements to the property each year, but still keeping the character of the cottage. It is a real gem and we can't wait to return in 2018.

Simply stunning we have visited this cottage on many occasions and we are never disappointed it is simply breathtaking our 8 yr old granddaughter enjoyed every minute of her stay

Lovely cottage in superb condition. 2 good sized bedrooms, large lounge & a kitchen full of all amenities. Excellent garden close to a stream, very scenic. In a good location, close to shops and a local pub.

A beautiful cottage with modern facilities set in a unique secluded location with its own provate grounds featuring a trout stream, ponds, patio and barbecue areas, tree-house, local walks etc.

We really enjoyed our stay and I'm sure you will too.

Anderton Mill is the best cottage we have ever stayed in. It's set in the most beautiful valley with amazing well kept gardens equipped with patio furniture to make the most of every drop of sunshine. The tree house, stream, pond and abundance of wildlife are perfect for children and adults too! Inside the cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything you could ever need. If you want a truly 'escape from it all holiday' this ticks every box. It is close to some beautiful beaches all well recommended by the owners.

A welcome return visit for us, for some much-needed rest. We spent hours relaxing by the stream, and I've taken up a new hobby: butterfly spotting! 16 different varieties recorded over the seven days, including the rare brown fritillary. Such a wonderful, peaceful, idyllic setting.

Amazing characterful property, completely secluded from the outside world with no fear of being overlooked or overheard, ideal when you have an exuberant autistic child. The excellently equipped kitchen was very much apperciated by the mouths hungry from days at the beach. Flopping in front of the stove post meal was a treat while planning the next day over a glass of wine (the fact the satalitte TV showed the Tour de France was a selfish plus). Badminton was played, remote controll cars were crashed and we even set up a rope swing in the trees. Bedrooms lovely, the trip downstairs to the loo a minor inconvenience.

What can we say, it has all been said before in the previous reviews. Quite, peacefull, get away that is a real gem of a find. We will definitely be visiting again.

A beautifully restored cottage with nearly all the amenities one could ask for.

The multi fuel fire in the living room was a real hit and we made full use of it as the weather was decidedly chilly.

This lovely cottage comes fully equiped and even has a washing machine AND tumble drier

On arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine which was very nice and the owner Pete rang on the first evening to make sure we had arrived safely and were comfortable.

Anyone who visits should take a look at the album showing photos of the building during and after the floods at Boscastle, how lucky were Pete and Kay that they didn't lose this lovely home from home!

We were even able to take our beloved dogs, what a find!!

(Note: There is no mobile phone signal but who wants or needs it when you are on holiday????? A quick stroll up the drive got us a signal on Orange and there is a land line on the premises.

What a wonderful cottage in a great secluded peaceful location with every aminity needed to make it home from home from the excellent fitted kitchen and utility rooms to the cosy living room and wood log burner.

The patio riverside setting making it perfect for Al Fresco dining and relaxing. Truely a cottage for all weathers.

We will definitely be returing again and have no hesitation in recommending this cottage.

The owners, Peter and Kay, have done a fantastic job renovating this cottage and the grounds and were very pleasant and helpful throughout our booking. The cottage was very comfortable with a great wood burner and we were particularly impressed with the riverside terrace. We would have enjoyed our stay at Anderton Mill wherever it was so it was a bonus being so close to some favourite coastal walks and beaches (another vote for Trebarwith Strand!).

Such a beautiful cottage, lovingly restored, in a peaceful idyllic location. The kitchen is equipped brilliantly - It had everything we needed to cook our family meals. Beds were very comfy and the whole cottage was lovely and clean. We particularly enjoyed our cosy nights in front of the wood burning stove, and our 3 year old loved the tree house - a real treat for him. We can't wait to go back.

This cottage looks like it should be on a postcard, it is wonderful with a babbling river running at the back. When you enter the the cottage you will not be disappointed it has everything you need and unlike a lot of cottages we have stayed in it is really comfortable. The owners Pete and Kay have done a fantastic job and are very helpful. There is a pub in the next village of Trasparett, that we would recommend lovely food and a talking parrot called Monty. We stayed a week and it was not long enough even though the weather wasn't kind. Overall we had a wonderful time and will definately be back.

Absolutely stunning place to visit. Brilliant location and isolated for peace and quiet.Log fire to keep you cosy and a well equipped kitchen. Beautiful countryside and riverside terrace. Would definitely recommend and we are all booked and going back next year [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

I thought Anderton Mill was going to be good, but it exceeded even my highest expectations! Wonderful idyllic retreat in a stunning setting. Sitting on the warm back patio watching and listening to the stream was just heavenly. The cottage is very comfortable and equipped to a very high standard. We all can't wait to go back!

This was our 3rd visit to the cottage and as always enjoyed by all.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet in a tranquil setting then this is an ideal place.

However, if like us you have three active boys to keep entertained after a day spent on the beach body boarding, then here are just a few of our pastimes – extreme river walking, climbing to the tree house on “lookout” complete with walkie talkies, and a first this year we held our own badminton “Olympics” which was great fun and not forgetting our BBQ’s

We escaped to Anderton Mill and had the most relaxing week ever. Idyllic!

We return year after year to this perfect little retreat. Lovely cottage, beautiful location and no connectivity!

What a lovley "hideaway" and a credit to the owners for all the hard work they've put into it. Quaint, comfortable and in an idyllic setting, not far from the coast. Do note that you won't get a mobile signal here so you can really unwind.

A second visit to this beautiful cottage in a peaceful, delightful area. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable in all respects (kitchen recently refurbished) and is surrounded by delightful terraced gardens for total relaxation. The area is a paradise for walkers.

Like a little bit of heaven in Cornwall, cottage was stunning and the grounds were beautiful. My wife and I couldnt ask anymore from our week at Anderton Mill, it was such a relaxing break. The cottage had everything we needed and would suit couples and families alike. Ideally situated to explore the many delights of North Cornwall we would certianly look at staying again

A second visit to this beautiful cottage in a beautiful situation. Comfortable in all respects (recently refurbished kitchen) surrounded by lovely terraced gardens for rest and relaxation. Excellent for walkers and those seeking peace and quiet. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

We return year after year and are always thrilled with the well equipped and beautiful cottage not to mention the fabulous location. With no connectivity to the outside world it is the perfect holiday hideaway.

This was our 3rd visit in 18 months and it was as breathtaking as ever. The cornish weather was not exceptionally kind to us this time but that gave us the perfect oportunity to appreciate our immediate surroundings. Just simply stunning!!!

Amazing setting for a beautiful old mill. Totally secluded with woods surrounding it and a lovely small river running through the property. We took our dog who thoroughly enjoyed exploring the everywhere. Perfectly located for Boscastle and Tintagle, and a lovely local pub about a mile and a half away which has been used on location by Dr. Martin. The cottage was spotless and had everything you could need including a most welcome multifuel burner. Highly recommend!

Superb cottage. Well equipped with everything that you could wish for. Fabulous setting by the babbling brook. The weather was not kind to us until the end of the week.It rained and rained. We only saw the best of the setting once the sun came through on Friday.

Lovely cottage for a very peaceful holiday ,very homely, close to many North Cornwall coastal resorts A lovely small river runs through secluded wooded grounds.This is our second october visit with our dog Enjoyed woodburner in evenings [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

Truly a wonderful mill cottage in beautiful surroundings.

So peaceful with no chance of any noisy neighbours.

Shared only with the wildlife.

A couple of miles from a main 'A' road down a country lane makes it seem you have your own part of unspoilt Cornwall.

Easy to reach Boscastle and Port Isaac our favourite parts of North Cornwall.

Cottage was well equipped and clean yet retaining its period charm.

All in all highly recommended.

Beautiful historic watermill setting. Absolute peace, quiet and tranquility. Bats in the eaves, a bird of prey in the fields and other river wildlife. Remote, but lovely open top motoring to nearby Boscastle and Padstow (Rock).

Everything you could need in the house, spotlessly clean.

An idyllic spot to get away from it all. Beautifull suroundings and characterfull property with all the mod cons. Our 3 year old loved the grounds and the river and so did the dog both had a fabulous adventure every morning especially up it the tree house or (base camp H.Q.) Well positioned for lots of things to do and great beaches, lots of surfing and rock pooling. We decided a week was not long enough.

Absolutely stunning. Brilliant location, perfectly isolated for peace and quiet. Beautiful countryside views. Would definitely recommend and re-visit again!

Anderton Mill is a charming, comfortable, very well equipped cottage. It is surrounded by lovely grounds and a beautiful terraced garden by the side of the Valency river with table and sun loungers. Its character reflects the loving care of its owners and we appreciated their sharing it with us.

There are lovely walks on the door step and for lovers of Thomas Hardy lots of associations in the area including St Juliots Church. Boscastle, Tingagel, Trebarwith beach are all close by and well worth visiting. We spent time at Padstow and Rock enjoying Rick Stein's cafe and the lovely golden sands at Rock.

Lovely cottage no neighbours very quiet. Great beaches near by.This was our second visit will be going back.

This is our 2nd visit to the cottage and the only way we can describe it ... "a hidden gem with an air of enchantment".

This was our 2nd year in a row after a great holiday last year. Peace and tranquility unsurpassed, and such a beautiful setting. Surfing beaches within easy reach, day trips to NT properties, local walks in the evening quiet of the Valency Valley. Wonderful.

We have been coming to Anderton Mill for the past seven years and it just gets better with every visit as we continue to find new things to do and new places to explore. It is the perfect base and very difficult to leave at the end of ones stay. We loved having the ducks for company last year. The wood burner gives the cottage a warm and cosy feel at the end of the day and the peace and tranquility of the setting could not be bettered. It is the perfect antidote to the hectic lives we all lead. Great credit must go to the owners, Pete and Kay, who have lovingly restored the cottage and allow us to enjoy its comforts each year. We will return, for sure.

This is a fairy tale cottage, beautiful in every detail. Adorable surroundings, very nice beaches. We enjoyed every minute of our holiday in the cottage and very much hope that we will have the opportunity in the future to refresh our memories with another stay.

Second visit to this cottage the previous being 10 years ago.

We have fond memories from the first and will have the same from this. Nice comfortable cottage in pretty, quiet surroundings. Our children and dog had an enjoyable week despite the inclement weather.

This was our 2nd visit to this loverly cottage. It really feels like home from home. The cottage itself is in a superb location and the sound of the river whilst relaxing, whether reading a book or just enjoying a glass of wine is almost hypnotic. The interior is very comfortable and traditional and very well decorated to a high standard. Perfect place to let the world drift by for a week.

A magical place perfect for couples or families. The cottage, well equipped with great decor and facilities, is a great base for exploring the north Cornwall coast but, come rain or shine, staying at the cottage is a holiday in itself. Breakfast on a sunny terrace at the front of the cottage,lunch on a spacious terrace in the back garden, bbq on the hidden terrace in the evening. While away the day lounging in the secluded garden listening to the babbling river, or "plodge" in the river tickling trout. Pond dip in the large pond. Play poohsticks or race homemade boats from the ford bridge. Feeling adventurous? Set up base camp in the hidden tree house - comfortable enough for young explorers to sleep overnight if you dare! The setting is a wonderful opportunity to paint, draw or photograph. Spot deer, badgers, birds, ducks, foxes... Walk up the hill to the local pub or along country lanes exploring local flora, St Juliot church and the Valency Valley. Pooring with rain? Light a fire in the wood burner and cosy up with a good book. Bliss. We've been coming to the cottage for the last 16 years,intend to continue to do so, and cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

A magical place ideal for couples or a family, perfect for exploring the north Cornwall coast. The cottage is well equipped and decorated to high standard. Breakfast on the sunny terrace at the front, lunch on the slate terrace in the secluded back garden, bbq on the hidden terrace in the evening. Play poohsticks or race home made boats from the ford bridge. Pond dip in the front field or lounge in the back garden listening the river babbling by. Feeling more adventurous, then "plodge" in the river trout tickling. Young adventurers can set up base camp in the secret tree house, comfortable enough to sleep in if you dare. Look out for deer, badgers, ducks and the odd cow! Perfect setting for some drawing, painting or photography. Weather not so perfect? Light a fire in the wood burner and cosy up with a good book. We've been coming to the cottage for the past 16 years, and intend to continue to do so.

The four of us have to Anderton mill for two years running and have enjoyed every minute of our stay. The best of it is,you are totaly secluded in a tranquial setting,but, not far from the coast with all its beautiful bays and sights.

Came here last year as well.Weather

not so kind but then we are in england.cottage is exellent. Away from it all,but,not far from Boscastle.Lovely log burner that we

found neccessary for a few lovely nights in and our own cuisine cooked in the more than adequate fully fitted kitchen.

This was our fifth visit and definitely won't be our last! The cottage is set in a truly beautiful location and in a wonderful part of Cornwall with plenty of walks right on the doorstep or the dramatic Atlantic coastline just a short drive away.

The cottage itself is very well equipped, comfortably furnished and decorated to a very high standard.

It is the perfect retreat, a great place to recharge and come rain or shine we always leave with heavy hearts eased only by the thought of returning again next year.

Superb cottage,well equipped,set in beautiful surroundings, nicely remote for absolute peace and quite, but well placed for touring a lovely part of Cornwall,local shop ideal for immediate things,as is the Pub!! Will definitely visit again and will recommend to friends as the ideal getaway location.

Lovely cottages - we have been 3 times and stayed in two different cottages. They are so well decorated and fitted out, we have stayed in many holiday cottages over the last ten years and these are some of the best we have tried. Very clean, lovely comfortable beds and so convenient for Beverley which is a lovely market town.

This is a truly relaxing holiday cottage. Within a few minutes of arriving the cottage felt like home.

As a location for visiting the sights in Cornwall it was ideal.

This cottage was recommended to us by friends and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Simply Stunning!!! The most beautiful cottage in a superb location. Clean, comfortable, relaxing what more do you want!! This was our second visit and it was just as breathtaking as the first, we shall definately return again hopefully soon.
