Nestled near the ever-popular Polzeath Beach, Shilla Mill is a historic gem dating back to 1591. Its beams, allegedly salvaged from shipwrecks on the notorious Doom Bar, bear ancient inscriptions and one the figurehead of a lion.

Upstairs, four bedrooms offer flexible accommodation: a double room leading to a single, another double room, and a single room. The family bathroom includes a bath with a shower overhead. Throughout the house, quirky features like twisted beams, sloping floors, and leaning walls add to its unique character. Outside, the garden is perfect for enjoying morning coffee or alfresco dining.
Opposite the property, the owners’ small campsite welcomes summer campers, whilst a nearby path leads to The Point, a prestigious golf club, and Daymer Bay, known for its breathtaking beauty and safeswimming waters.
