Welcome to High Cross House
High Cross House is a bright, spacious sanctuary designed for families and groups who value quality time together. Nestled just a two-minute stroll from the tranquil waters of Millbrook Lake, our unique split-level home offers the perfect balance of sociable open-plan living and quiet, cosy corners.
From the moment you step inside, it feels like home. Imagine slow mornings gathered around the farmhouse table for a lazy breakfast, followed by salty coastal walks and evenings curled up in the sunken living room beside the roaring log burner. With room for eight guests, it is a place to truly slow down, reconnect, and discover the "forgotten" magic of the Rame Peninsula.
We are proud to be a truly dog-friendly retreat, welcoming up to two well-behaved dogs to join your Cornish adventure. Whether it’s a morning walk along the lakeside paths or a run on the vast, golden sands of Whitsand Bay, your four-legged friends will love this hidden gem just as much as you do.
Features & Amenities
High Cross House is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a thoughtfully designed social hub where every detail is crafted for relaxation. Our spacious split-level layout ensures there’s plenty of room for everyone to find their own slice of Cornish calm, whether you’re hosting a family feast or seeking a quiet corner to decompress.
The Heart of the Home
A bright, fully equipped open-plan kitchen and dining area designed for the joy of shared meals. From slow mornings over coffee to celebratory dinners, this sociable space is the engine room of a great holiday.
The Sunken Lounge
Our signature sunken living room features plush sofas, a large TV, and a selection of board games. On chilly Cornish evenings, light the roaring log burner and settle in for a cosy night in.
A Private Outdoor Sanctuary
Our large, tiered garden is a private sun-trap from dawn until dusk. Relax in the bubbling luxury hot tub, serve drinks from our unique Tiki Bar, or enjoy a feast prepared on the BBQ. With plenty of seating and open space, it’s the perfect spot to soak up the fresh Peninsula air.
Four Spacious Bedrooms
We comfortably sleep eight guests across four beautifully appointed rooms. This includes a Master suite with a private en-suite shower room, two bright and airy double bedrooms, and a fun bunk room that’s always a hit with younger guests.
Bathrooms & Laundry
In addition to the master en-suite, there is a large family bathroom featuring a shower-over-bath. We also provide a washing machine on-site, making it easy to refresh those sandy beach towels after a day at Whitsand Bay.
Practical Necessities
Enjoy a stress-free arrival with private driveway parking for up to three cars. A travel cot, high chair, and changing table are all available upon request. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the house, ensuring you stay connected — if you want to be!
Dog-Friendly Adventures
We are proud to welcome up to two well-behaved dogs to join the family. With the lake 2 minutes away and endless coastal paths nearby, it’s a paradise for paws.

Discover the Magic of Millbrook & The Rame Peninsula
Millbrook is a vibrant, quirky village where artistic flair meets riverside calm. From the house, a two-minute walk brings you to the lake—perfect for birdwatching, lakeside picnics, or watching the kids at the revamped skatepark.
Known as the “Forgotten Corner,” the Rame Peninsula is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Wander through the historic villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, known for their, colourful cottages, narrow streets, and historic smuggling past, or take a short 3km drive to the golden sands of Whitsand Bay—one of the best surfing and dog-walking spots on the south coast.
Whether you’re hiking the South West Coast Path or catching the ferry to Plymouth Barbican, adventure is always just around the corner.
Meet Your Hosts: Jeremy & Kate
Hi there! We’re Jeremy and Kate, and we are so excited to welcome you to our little slice of Cornwall.
Our story is a bit of a mix of "sea and sky." Jeremy is Millbrook born and bred with a career spent out on the water, while Kate originated from Brighton and spent years flying around the globe as cabin crew. We’ve both travelled the world, but we truly believe there is nowhere quite like the Rame Peninsula.
We eventually traded our global travels to settle down here in "Cornwall’s Forgotten Corner," and we haven't looked back since. Whether it’s sharing our favourite walking spots, recommending the best independent local pubs, or just helping you settle into the house, we love nothing more than helping our guests discover why this village is so special.
We’ve put our hearts into making High Cross House a unique, relaxing retreat, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself. See you soon!
High Cross House was exactly what myself and our large group needed, lovely house, ideal location and a very enjoyable New Years stay. Felt right at home and would 100% stay again if going back to that neck of the woods.

We had a very lovely 2-night stay. The hot tub overlooking the lake is such a bonus after a day out walking and sightseeing! The location is great, just a mile from the villages of Kingsand/Cawsand.
