We had a wonderful stay at Milly’s in July 2021. Gilly is an excellent host and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is delicious and freshly made each day. Free onsite parking is a huge bonus especially after long journeys. It’s in a perfect location for a short walk into Polperro. We will look forward to returning soon!

Stopped by for a traditional cream tea and we weren't disappointed. Had plain and fruit scones, plus saffron and Cornish split buns and all were excellent, as was the tea. Owners were really friendly and accommodating with our young daughter. Highly recommend.

A stunning guesthouse and beautiful tea rooms with so much character and Cornish charm. Gilly is the most welcoming and delightful host. She goes more than the extra mile to make sure your stay/visit is a happy and memorable one. Everywhere is spotless. The food is superb and homemade gluten free scones totally yummy!

Lovely cafe with great food and drinks! I had the hummus and pumpkin seed toast, and a cream tea with a scone and saffron bun after. Great service, great prices
