Finest Retreats | Nicely Tucked Away Cottage

We welcome you to Nicely Tucked Away, a beautifully decorated and well-appointed two bedroomed home situated in the desirable location of Millbrook village. As the name suggests, this property is hidden away from sight, but only a few metres from the centre of Millbrook village, with excellent local shops for all your everyday essentials.

The cottage comprises the entire south wing of Orchard House, secreted via a leafy canopy of ancient trees.

Nicely tucked away lies within the historic grounds of the original Manor House of the village, surrounded within private gardens and perimeter stone walls.

Step inside, into a large open plan living area, with opulent red chesterfield sofas, large smart TV, arcade games, pool table. With free Wi-Fi included during your stay. Enjoy a fully fitted kitchen with use of a washing machine and dishwasher ideal for a self-catering stay.

With two spacious bedrooms which can accommodate up to four guests, the large super king master bedroom with walk-in dressing/wardrobe area overlooks the gardens. The second bedroom, a twin room with two full size single beds, with garden views. (Bed guards, travel cots and highchairs available for younger visitors).

Nicely tucked away is a magical place to stay throughout the year of the year. It comes sophisticated underfloor central heating. A shower and bathroom on each floor. Adjacent to the dining room is the conservatory, garden dining area. Sun trap patio, and barbecue.

The Rame Head Peninsula is a quiet backwater, often described as Cornwall’s ‘forgotten corner,’ where you can avoid the busier hotspots of the County. The Rame peninsula remains true to its remote identity, and is an area of outstanding natural beauty and an area of special scientific interest. The coastal walks and seascape views on this peninsula are truly wonderous.

There is so much to do and see here. Visit the twin pretty villages and beaches of Cawsand and Kingsand, or walk to Penlee Point and Rame Head, with its 11th century monks' chapel and enjoy stunning views to the glorious sandy beaches of Whitsand Bay, which is just a mile away.

The well-known ancient fishing villages of Looe and Polperro are only a few miles away by car. Overall, a great spot to explore for all ages!

Located on the Devon/Cornwall border, perfect for exploring all that the west country has to offer.

Secure off-road parking for up to 2 vehicles included. For more information and bookings please contact Finest Retreats.

We spent an enjoyable week in the cottage.
It was very warm and comfortable. We appreciated the large welcome basket. The cottage was very clean, the rooms spacious and the beds very comfortable. We enjoy walking and it was well situated for this, the coastal footpath at Cawsand is less than 2 miles away. The Rame Peninsula is beautiful, lovely sea views all around. The weather wasn't very good during our stay but we were always glad to come back after a long walk to a nice warm house. We would have no hesitation recommending it to friends.

Close to everything you need yet perfectly peaceful!
Just got back from the most amazing stay at "Nicely Tucked Away" in Millbrook, Cornwall, and I couldn't wait to share our experience! First off, the location is a winner. Right in the heart of Millbrook Village but feels like your own private hideaway, best of both worlds, close to everything you need yet perfectly peaceful. Rob and his family are great hosts. They made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to make our stay special. From awesome tips on local spots to visit to little surprises that made us smile, they really know how to make guests feel right at home. Whether you're after a romantic retreata family adventure, this place ticks all the boxes. Huge thanks to Rob and fam for making our stay unforgettable. We're already planning our next escape!

An excellent visit to a lovely cottage in a beautiful area.
Friendly hosts and lovely cottage in a pleasant, quiet village. Easy to get to Plymouth on the ferry. The showers & bath. Rather slippery and not much water pressure in the shower.

A lovely time and a fun experience at the cottage.
The cottage was fantastic, with its comfortable furniture and bedding, top of the line kitchen facilities, fancy toiletries and the added fun additions such as the retro gaming system, the PS5, the wide-screen TV and the pool table really made us feel like we got our moneys worth. Also, the owners are some of the most friendliest people that I&#39ve ever had the pleasure of meeting any queries that needed to be askedassistance that was needed, they were always there to lend a hand 😃 We had trouble getting the shower on the ground floor to work ( which was an issue as we were in a rush to use it at the time). Also, I don&#39t think another streetlighttwo would hurt, especially on the road leading to the cottage ( it can be rather daunting to walk through during the night).

Clean, beautiful and comfortable accommodation in a very quiet location. Friendly host.
Host Rob met us, great communication. Very spacious and clean with everything that we needed. Lovely welcome basket with scones, jam, cream, bread and milk which we felt was a great touch. Very quiet location and comfortable beds. At first I thought it was odd that the twin bedroom had no bedside lamps but then realised that the little fans on the tables had a light. We shared with friends so felt that it was great value for money as opposed to staying in a hotel with less space and facilities. There wasn’t anything we disliked, just wish we could have stayed longer.

Stylish, peaceful and comfortable
Location was perfect for us as we are moving into the area. Hosts Rob and Jenna were exceptionally responsive and helpful, giving us access to the garden washing line for example and leaving a very thoughtful welcome hamper of goodies - ideal when you arrive tired The beds were hugely comfortable and even with all the windows open during the night, the location was very quiet and peaceful The kitchen was very well stocked and there wasn’t anything we missed during our stay that wasn’t already thought off. The pool table was a little wonky so will need attention The living room sofas were very stylish and excellent quality but a little hard so definitely not ones you could slouch on. The parking spaces are underneath trees which meant that the car was at the mercy of bird mess at times
