Millstream

Millstream in beautiful At Nectan's Glen surpassed our expectations at every level. Yes, the cottage is small but it has everything needed for a delightful short break away. The bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water and a full size bath, ideal for relaxing those aching muscles after a long hike on the stunning coastal path just minutes from the cottage. The gardens are simply gorgeous, as is the private woodland walk up to the waterfall. Robin (the owner) was most helpful in suggesting places to visit, where to eat and where to find the best views. The 2-hourly bus service between Truro and Bude stops very close to the cottage drive (very handy if you're of a certain age with bus passes like us!) During our stay we walked the coastal path every day bar one. From Rocky Valley to Tintagel (in both directions) is spectacular, as is the path between Rocky Valley and beautiful Boscastle. We also got the bus driver to drop us off at Boscastle Farm Shop (wonderful cafe here) and walked back along the coastal path into Boscastle harbour. Only a relatively short walk with not as many 'ups and downs' but with the most glorious views. Millstream cottage was the absolute perfect little romantic hideaway for a short trip. Nestled in the woods it is like something out of a fairy tale!! Great walks immediately near by and about a 30 minute walk into Tintagel (if you don't get distracted by the play park on the way home from the pub!). The cottage had everything we needed and acted well as a base for our other adventures as well having the lovely secluded patio to relax by the stream of an evening. Absolute bliss!
