    What a wonderful stay! A lovely little find for our visit to Padstow. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful and our evening meal in the Bistro was superb. Our room was lovely and we had a wonderful long weekend - the outdoor area in the sunshine...

    This is a gorgeous property. Debbie and Ashley are lovely hosts. I had a beautiful sunny room overlooking the churchyard. It was warm and quiet and a central location to the places I wanted to drive to. Breakfast is a highlight.

Company information

We are a family team here at The Old Mill House... Debbie is the mother of the family, she will meet and greet you, show you to your room and on hand to help with any questions you may have. Debbie will gladly sit down and give you advice over a glass of wine, if you do ask for a recommended wine it will probably be Prunus (our stock levels haven't been the same since she discovered it). Ashley is the father of the family, Ashley is the cogs that keep the Mill turning, handyman extraordinaire, carrier of luggage and chief steak chef. He owns every tool known to man and will be able to help fix any problems you may encounter. Can normally be found at the end of the day with a glass of wine (theres a theme here!) Adam - Responsible for anything electronic, mainly due to a "generation thing" and most (if not all) of any of the good ideas at The Mill. Adam's focus is the Bistro where he is the chef - although assures us he is not a stress head!! Henry - "Head of Security". Our fox red Labrador - loves a tummy rub!
