Suzy and Alan Maxted offer a warm welcome to start your holiday with a Cornish Cream Tea, wine, chocolates, fruit and flowers laid out to greet you for your stay here at Hicks Mill Cottages. Our self catering cottages form part of a 17th Century Granite Watemill in a spectacular location nestling at the bottom of a peaceful rural valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the perfect place to relax and unwind on your vacation!! You have your own garden to enjoy the Cornish sunshine and there's ample parking on site.

Our historic Mill lies equi-distant between Falmouth and the Cathedral City of Truro, with its ample shops, theatre, restaurants and supermarkets. With the north and south coasts only a short drive away, this is an ideal base to visit all the wonderful attractions Cornwall has to offer. For the enthusiastic walkers, there are some beautiful coastal paths close by and with the Coast to Coast Tramway only 200yds away, if you're into cycling, then this is for you!! (cycle hire available in the village), www.cornwallcyclehire.com There's also the famous Camel Trail only 30 mins away.

Take a stroll down the Mill Leat in the fresh morning air, or, for those special birthdays & anniversaries,  hire a Morgan Sports Car in the nearby village of Perranwell Station.

At the end of the day, chill out with a glass of wine on the terrace and watch the buzzards circle above. Later head for dinner at one of the best  local pubs, The Royal Oak in Perranwell Station, The Norway Inn at Perranarworthal or the famous 13th Century Pandora Inn at Restronguet.

We focus mainly on catering for adults (SORRY NO CHILDREN UNDER 12, OR PETS) and as the Old Mill is also our home, we're always on hand to offer help and advice so your holiday can run smoothly. If you want peace and tranquility, look no further!
