Milltown is a tiny hamlet in a sheltered valley deep in the countryside two miles south of Lostwithiel and within four hundred yards of the River Fowey. Fowey and the nearest beaches are only a ten minute drive away. Merlin is a delightful detached cottage built of stone and cob and believed to be 500 years old. In bygone years the cottage was reputedly a "kiddlywink" - a place where you could buy beer and cider from the owners and drink it outside, but not inside like a pub.

There is a cosy sitting room with open beamed ceiling and visitors may enjoy log fires in the original fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped. It has a microwave, dishwasher, electric cooker and fridge/freezer. A washing machine is provided in the utility room.

There is one bathroom and three bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with two singles and the third with a single bed. The bathroom has a shower over the bath. Bed linen and towels will be supplied, a television and DVD player are provided. Night storage heaters and the open fire provide heating. Electricity and logs are included in the price.  A cot and highchair are available if required. There is a pleasant garden and a paved terrace.

Adjoining Merlin, there is a large stone built store which has ample space to keep canoes, mountain bikes or a trailer. There is also parking space for two small cars or one large one. A well behaved dog may be accepted by prior arrangement. The nearest shops and pubs are in Lostwithiel some 2 miles away.

Please do not book this property if any member of your party is a smoker.
