Welcome to The Barley Mill; an enchanting, 19th century Cornish Mill hidden deep within the Marsland Nature Reserve. A holiday cottage we promise you will never want to leave... Described as something out of a fairytale, (think Hansel & Gretel,) the Mill is incredibly fortunate to be one of the very few cottages in the reserve itself.

However, the coast is only a tiny part of what this exceptional part of the world has to offer. There is an abundance of walks for all ages and abilities right from the front door, and all outdoor activities and tourist attractions are conveniently located close by.

Amy & William Searle were looking for the perfect property to add to their other two cottages, Celyn on the side of a mountain in Snowdonia and No.4 Coastguard Cottages on the cliff tops of Porthgwarra near Lands End Cornwall.
