A gorgeous property with a warm rustic charm sure to inspire a laid-back holiday getaway. Set on a working farm with four other holiday properties, it boasts exposed wooden beams and stylish interior decoration - a welcoming home away from home surrounded by scenic North Devon countryside. Perfect for families, it benefits from a shared outdoor play area, a play barn and an on-site craft studio with free taster session (excluding school holidays).

Rustically captivating with wooden furnishings and a classic cottage-style lounge/kitchen/diner, there is ample space for a family of four. Snug sofas sit around a wood burner in the lounge area, making an ideal space for relaxing evenings in, with patio doors opening onto scenic views of the countryside. The cottage’s upstairs rooms have low beams and doorways (approximately 5'8"" inches from the floor), including the two bedrooms (a double with en-suite and a twin).

The complex provides many attractions right on your doorstep, such as a shared outdoor play area for children, an on-site craft studio, library and games room. Or, a short, 5-mile trip takes you straight to the stunning North Devon coast, ideal for swimming, surfing and scenic walks. The nearest pub and shop are only 4 miles away, ensuring you have easy access to amenities and meals out.

Fabulous location with access to miles of coast path & beaches with minimal traveling. The actual cottage itself is great but there are details which require attention ie wood burner burns fiercely despite being shut down, under floor heating struggled during a cold spell. Plumbing noisy (sounds like a washing machine) Catches on doors & stair gateRead more missing. Despite these issues as I pointed out it's a lovely cottage that just requires some attention to detail.

What we loved about this property was that it was in a private, secluded location and peaceful. Yet, close to so many popular beaches, attractions and shops. Minimal amount of driving needed.

We had another fantastic holiday at Mill House, having stayed several times before. John and family are so welcoming, the cottage is spacious with everything you could need, and the location is perfect for exploring North Devon.

Nice place to stay in the country, cottage was comfortable and had the basic things provided. If traveling with kids I would recommend taking extra blankets as we found the bedrooms quite cold. There's no actual shower in main bedroom bathroom only shower head off the tap. Games room under development use able but dirty. The kids park lacks a benchRead more so parents can sit down. Owner very friendly and accommodating. Garden does get fumes from the oil tank and nextdoor boilers. Hide
