Stunning property and gardens, excellent facilities, clean and decorated to an extremely high standard. Everything you could need was provided. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely love to return next year. The 5 star review really doesn't do the property justice. An absolutely beautiful find, if you book to stay here you won't be disappointed.

Top Quality accommodation.
A place fully suited to our extended family of 9. The magnificent gardens became part of our living quarters when we opened the patio doors. Unusually high temps were encountered for UK but the large opening patio doors allowed circulation of air and an al fresco feel to the kitchen.

Fowey Watermill
The Old Watermill is a beautiful property set in a quiet location but within walking distance to Fowey. The house is well equipped for a large family and everything is very high quality. There is a wide selection of DVDs which came in handy as the weather wasn’t the best during our stay and overall we had a great time. The only downside is the road leading to the property is very narrow which made it difficult sometimes and parking in Fowey is pretty much impossible during the summer months so you need to plan your day carefully. All in all it is a beautiful property and perfect for a large family stay,

Excellent hosts .
Our stay in The Old Watermill was everything we imagined and more! From the moment we booked, William & Carole’s communication was excellent! Although our original 2020 booking was postponed due to Coronavirus, the owners were extremely helpful and stayed in touch throughout the entire year. As soon as we pulled on the drive, we knew it was well worth the wait as the house and grounds are simply stunning. It was the perfect place to celebrate an 80th birthday as well as reunite with our family who live overseas in Gibraltar. From the welcome basket to the Jo Malone diffusers; the attention to detail in The Old Watermill is fabulous and you most definitely feel like you are on a luxury UK holiday! The master bedroom is absolutely huge and has beautiful views across the impressive gardens. Additionally, the kitchen is extremely well equipped and has every utensil imaginable! We thoroughly enjoyed having BBQs on the lovely patio and then heading up to the top deck to finish our drinks and catch the last of the evening sun. With only a 5min drive into Fowey, the location of the house is the perfect base to explore Cornwall. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a spacious, clean and high-quality

A wonderful retreat for a family get together. Spacious accommodation and large garden for the dogs to let off steam. The owners are very approachable and friendly. Would recommend the Mill to any family who want a quiet retreat with plenty to do in within a short driving distance.

Fabulous in every way
We rented The Old Watermill to celebrate a couple of significant birthdays. From the point of booking communication from vrbo and the owner was excellent. Upon our arrival we were really impressed with the attention to detail throughout the whole house. The kitchen is very well equipped and the welcome cream tea was a nice surprise. A very pleasant and relaxing week was enjoyed by all.
