We had an amazing weeks stay at the Old Mill. We arrived to fresh chicken/duck eggs, home made marmalade, cakes and a pup cake. Dog friendly and not just ‘allows’ dogs but caters for them and includes them with bowls, towels etc, which we were extremely grateful for. Lovely big garden for the dog to play.The property was lovely and clean, loved the log fire and the little shop shack where you could purchase extra wood.Overall an amazing stay, so quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend staying here!

We had a brilliant time with our family of 12 which included grandparents, children their partners and grandchildren in this beautiful cottage and also the one next door. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed and has to be one of the best places we have ever stayed in. The garden was lovely with loads of room for the children to play and was surrounded by lovely views our grandsons even caught fish in the nearby lake. We were made to feel extremely welcome with some lovely treats on arrival thank you Jane and Mary Ann. There was plenty of things to do we loved cycling on the Tarka Trail, nearby beaches and local attractions which made our holiday so enjoyable for everyone. Would definitely recommend this property it was perfect in every way.

We really appreciated the care and attention in all areas of the cottage. The accommodation was brilliantly prepared and every household piece of equipment was ready to hand.Thoughtful attention had been given to needs of animals too. Our dogs loved the safe garden space and the farm walks.Bradworthy has a great local pub with super food.Beaches are 25 minutes away. Country roads are a challenge but it makes for a restful break.
