About this property

Millstone Cottage

  • Tucked away in the peaceful Cornish hamlet of Nancledra, Millstone Cottage is an elegantly refurbished two-bedroom retreat offering a refined blend of heritage character and contemporary comfort. Set beside a historic water mill, the cottage takes its name from the original millstone now displayed at the entrance and provides a distinctive sense of arrival rooted in the area’s past.



    Perfectly positioned between the harbour towns of St Ives and Penzance, Millstone Cottage enjoys a tranquil countryside setting while remaining within easy reach of golden beaches, dramatic coastal walks and West Cornwall’s celebrated art and dining scene.



    Inside, the cottage has been completely redesigned with quality and comfort at its heart. The ground floor offers a beautifully considered open plan living dining and kitchen space designed for relaxed and effortless living. Comfortable Loaf seating, soft lighting and a calm contemporary cottage aesthetic create a welcoming atmosphere while the well-equipped kitchen makes both short stays and longer breaks a pleasure. Carefully curated antique pieces are featured throughout including local Cornish pottery and copper details that add warmth, texture and a quiet sense of authenticity. Appliances include a fridge freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, kettle, toaster, air fryer and a cleverly concealed laundry space with washing machine.



    Upstairs, the accommodation continues the sense of understated luxury. The principal bedroom features a king size bed dressed for comfort and rest while the second single bedroom is equally well finished and thoughtfully styled. The bathroom is modern and elegant with a shower wash basin and WC finished in a clean and timeless style.



    Outside, guests can enjoy a private garden offering a peaceful space for morning coffee relaxed outdoor dining or unwinding at the end of the day. A dedicated parking space sits close to the cottage ensuring easy and stress-free arrivals.



    Surrounded by rolling countryside yet just minutes from the coast, Millstone Cottage is an ideal base for discovering West Cornwall. From the galleries and beaches of St Ives to the historic streets of Penzance and the drama of the Southwest Coast Path, this is a place to slow down reconnect and enjoy Cornwall at its most refined.



    Please note that the property has a maximum occupancy of 3 guests in total throughout your stay. This limit applies to guests of all ages, including infants and children.

Wonderful Stay at Millstone Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Millstone Cottage. The accommodation is beautiful, and the location was perfect for our trip. We especially enjoyed visiting Godrevy & Mutton Cove, Padstow, the Minack Theatre, St Ives, and Porthleven. Everything made for a fantastic holiday, and we would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

We were honoured to perhaps be the first renters of this beautifully refurbished cottage, certainly the first in this book. After a little difficulty in locating the property, we discovered a refurb completed to a faultless finish. Everything you might need had been thought of and provided. The difficulty was leaving the cottage to explore the wonderful landscape! Highlights of our stay included a visit to the Minack Theatre, a lovely walk around the headland at Zennor, and taking the No. 16 bus to St. Ives. Bruce & Kathleen (Cambridge)
