The Experience
Concealed by a thick blanket of award-winning woodland is this textbook country bolthole, where the birds chirrup, the river flows and the stars shine brightly. The guardians of your charming miller’s cottage are Sonia and Simon, who live in the nearby Millhouse.
It’s a place to step back and take stock: relax by the creamy Rayburn or doze off by the wonderful old fireplace with limitless logs. A pretty window seat upstairs overlooks the cottage garden – secluded and south-facing, a lovely spot for a summer barbecue.
Explore the valley by foot – Simon and Sonia’s enthusiasm for the area is infectious and they carefully manage the surrounding area. Bees, birds and bluebells are encouraged, and a small herd of beef cattle, pigs, ducks and hens merrily thrive.

Sonia and Simon are generous and thoughtful hosts. Horry Cottage is very cosy and has everything you need for a self-catering stay. It's position in deepest, darkest Devon with woods and stream on your doorstep is thoroughly relaxing.

Where to start?! This is definitely the most perfect holiday cottage we have stayed in. We are a family of four with two young boys and we had the best time ever! Walking in the woods, swimming in the stream, making the most of the amazing dark skies, all whilst being thoroughly spoilt by Sonia and Simon. The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. The garden is a little bit of heaven and the boys enjoyed playing here in the day and watching the bats and listening for tawny owls at dusk. There are some lovely day trips on the doorstep- we will be back!!

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. We'll definitely be back! Sonia and Simon were most helpful without ever being obtrusive. We would highly recommend.

Lovely old cottage that had been sympathetically modernised. Everything spotlessly clean and comfortable. Beautiful grounds and many places to sit if, like me, you were unable to walk far. So peaceful. A great place to relax. Lovely owners who supplied us with super eggs from the resident chickens and very tasty honey.

Location
The neighbourhood
Surrounded by the steep hillside and trees Horry Mill is hidden from the rest of the world down a half mile drive. Winkleigh is three miles away and has two pubs, a post office, garage, butcher and a village store - the nearest supermarket is at Okehampton 12 miles away. There are numerous footpaths and bridleways in this area and the Tarka Trail is a 20-minute drive. From Okehampton to Lydford you can cycle the Granite Way with spectacular views.
Local points of interest from Simon & Sonia Hodgson
- South Molton pannier market is well worth a visit on Thursday mornings, you can also take a visit to Quince's Honey farm to look at bee's and pick up some local honey.Then maybe drive on down to Saunton Sands where you will find the most fabulous beach.
- RHS Rosemoor & Dartington Glass, a short drive from us at Torrington. Head up to the Spectacular North Devon Coast for a bracing walk - if you're lucky you may be able to see Lundy Island in the distance, or even book a day trip to visit.
- Take the train from Eggesford to Exeter on the Tarka line. Visit the beautiful cathedral, underground passages, museum, or wander down to the historic Quay. From Horry Mill Dartmoor is a short drive. Visit Castle Drogo or Lydford Gorge.
- Winkleigh is well served by a Butchers, Convenience Store, Post Office, 2 Pubs, Farm Shop, Florist/Cafe, Cider Works/Cafe. Secure field nr Winkleigh to hire hourly for dog excercising & fun.
- There are numerous footpaths/bridlepaths, plenty of maps in the cottage, and books of walks slightly further afield.The Tarka Trail is about 20 mins drive. From Okehampton to Lydford you can cycle the Granite Way with spectacular views.
- Free unlimited logs - it really is true! There's no charge for dogs either. We have welcomed guests for 29 years - have seen small children grow in to young adults and the parents still come to stay. We look forward to seeing you here soon.

Horry Mill Cottage is picture perfect, hidden away in a wooded valley, yet within an easy drive of the Devon coasts and moorlands. The interior of the cottage doesn't disappoint either; plenty of room to relax in front of a blazing log fire after a long day walking in your own woodland and paddling in the river. The bedrooms are airy with comfortable beds, and there is also a delightful little sunroom where the light filters through grape leaves. The large garden is dog-friendly. The whole cottage was spotless and well-equipped. Sonia and Simon are experienced and welcoming hosts.
