Our own little piece of paradise for a week

Review Submitted: October 19, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
This is our third year of booking our holiday with Nick at Elite West Holidays and yet again we were not disappointed. The service as always was impeccable which is why we keep going back again and again and Gooseham Mill really did feel like our own little piece of paradise. The house is just beautiful with all the mod cons you could wish for but it still retains it's wonderful character and is set in the most idyllic surroundings. The house was lovely and clean and the grounds were incredibly well maintained. We would highly recommend this wonderful property for those wishing like us to completely get away from the hustle and bustle of life and take stock in a tranquil and beautifully interesting setting.

Beautiful characterful house in wonderful location

Review Submitted: October 18, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic week in this beautiful house in a stunning location. The house itself is lovingly furnished and has everything that the holidaymaker would want and plenty of space for us (5 adults). The gardens are a joy, large and full of lots of interesting artifacts and hidden vistas. We particularly enjoyed cooking on the range using fresh vegetables from the garden and where else would you be able to say that you walked down the garden to collect your vegetables in Devon and then walked back and ate them in Cornwall! It was a great location from which to visit both Cornwall and Devon.
