1 Miller's Island

About this property

Reached by its own private bridge and set beside a peaceful lake, 1 Miller’s Island offers rare privacy within acres of Cornish countryside, yet sits just a short drive from the ever-popular harbours of Looe and Polperro. Surrounded by woodland, wildlife and serene water views, this dog-friendly lodge is ideal for families, couples and friends seeking space, seclusion and a touch of indulgence, complete with a sunken hot tub for evenings under the stars. Inside, the open-plan living space feels bright and refined, with generous glazing and bi-fold doors drawing the outside in. Deep sofas invite you to unwind after coastal adventures, while the well-equipped kitchen sits at the heart of the lodge, keeping conversation flowing as meals are prepared. Whether it’s a quick breakfast before the beach or a relaxed supper with a bottle of wine, everything is designed for easy, sociable stays.

The master bedroom features a king-size bed dressed in hotel-quality linens, with an en-suite walk-in shower and direct access to the deck, perfect for a quiet morning coffee overlooking the lake. A comfortable twin room sits just along the hallway, ideal for children or additional guests, served by a sleek family bathroom with shower over bath. Thoughtful touches such as fluffy towels and quality finishes elevate the experience throughout. Step outside and the setting truly shines. Dine alfresco beside the water, sink into the bubbling hot tub as dusk settles, or simply watch nature unfold, ducks drifting across the lake and birdsong echoing through the trees. The spacious deck offers reassurance for dog owners, while the wider grounds provide gentle walks from the doorstep. The Old Mill Bar & Restaurant, located onsite, serves wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted cocktails and relaxed family favourites, all just a short stroll away. The friendly onsite team are always on hand, adding to the welcoming atmosphere guests consistently praise. Beyond the park, explore the narrow streets and harbourfront of Looe, the timeless charm of Polperro, or the independent shops and eateries of Fowey. Beach lovers can choose from East Looe Beach, Talland Bay and Lantic Bay, while family days out await at the Eden Project, Porfell Wildlife Park & Sanctuary and Adrenalin Quarry. Blending lakeside tranquillity, generous living space and an outstanding South Cornwall location, 1 Miller’s Island is a superb base for scenic dog-friendly breaks and memorable coastal escapes in every season.

Lanreath is a village in southeast Cornwall, five miles west of Looe. Lanreath is rural in character with a local shop and Post Office as well as a parish church. There are a number of ghost stories associated with Lanreath. The best-known features a ghost in black driving a coach pulled by a headless horse. Nearby Pelynt is home to a parish church, a number of local shops and pubs, especially the Jubilee Inn, which was an original farmhouse dating back to the 16th Century. Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. Polperro is a little further away and is a historic fishing village nestling at the head of a long valley leading down to the sea. With plenty of areas to visit, Lanreath is a quiet, pleasant place offering easy access to the coast, the moors, National Trust properties and Cornwall's famous gardens.
