About this property

Delightful, family owned, grade II listed cottage, 3 bedrooms - sleeps 7

Mill House is a Grade II listed building of historic interest. Ground floor rooms have beamed ceilings and all rooms overlook the Mill Pool.

The cottage is situated right by the Mill Pool, a non tidal creek off the River Dart estuary.

You enter the house through a stone porch, which leads into the living room with the kitchen off to you right.

There is a small garden at the rear and a paved terrace at the front where you can watch the world go by as well as any activities on the Mill Pool.

The cottage, while being very comfortable and ideal for a relaxing holiday, is also well suited for walking, fishing, or a sailing holiday and there are beaches, coastal and estuary walks, and Dartmoor nearby.

Please note: because it is an old cottage the stairs are quite narrow, so if you are unsteady on your feet you will need to take extra care.

Crabbing at the edge of the pool is a particular favourite.

Upon arrival we found some areas of the house not as clean as we expected. The double bed could also use a new fitted sheet-it would appear to have shrunk over time.Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we loved the restaurants in the area. We did have a problem with the shower but Struan was “on it” and it was fixed as soon as possible. Thank you.

The Mill House

Our family of 5 had a wonderful short break at the Mill house. I can't fault it. It was clean and welcoming and had all that was needed for our stay. It's situated in a beautiful part of devon and wish we had the weather to enjoy the coastline, unfortunately it rained right through. We will definitely be returning in the summer.

Cottage was nicely appointed , clean and comfortable but the major selling point is it's location. Stoke Gabriel is a beautiful hidden gem, providing the perfect quiet village for a traditional holiday.

Annual get away

The property was well presented and inviting. We enjoyed the relaxing quiet atmosphere and its location enables you to either relax next to Mill Pond or travel further afield to one of the local seaside towns.
