Horry Mill

What a lovely place! So remote and quiet, beautiful wild garden , lovely house and exceptional weather. Sonia and Simon are perfect hosts and the welcome pack was delicious. What's not to like?

Our third visit to Horry Mill but the first in 3 years. When we arrived it felt like we had never left. Sonia and Simon are so welcoming and when the week was up we didn't want to leave. Thank you and see you again soon.

When we first stayed at Horry Mill about 15 years ago we found our perfect hideaway. The charming cottage is well equipped and comfortable with a beautiful garden and wonderful walks with our dogs straight from the door. Sonia and Simon could not be more welcoming and we have returned at least once a year, sometimes with children and grandchildren who have also fallen under its spell.

Sonia and Simon are the perfect hosts and as with a previous visit we enjoyed our stay enormously. We were greeted by them with scones and Devon cream for tea. Fresh eggs were provided during our stay. Horry Mill is set in a wonderful remote wooded valley in beautiful countryside. The cottage was perfect and provided all our needs but above all the peace and tranquillity of this special place remains engrained in our memory. Thank you.

We had a wonderful holiday at Horry Mill. The cottage is lovely and the location even better. There is a large private garden surrounded by wooded slopes and wild flowers with chickens and ducks happily pottering around nearby. Sonia and Simon are very generous hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. Wonderful walks straight from the house but if you want to go further afield there is ample opportunity for all that Dartmoor has to offer. Perfect peace and relaxation.

We had a fantastic family holiday at Horry Mill. The setting is utterly peaceful and beautiful. There are walks from the door and private gardens and woodlands to explore. We had lots of adventures on Dartmoor then came back to wander round the meadow or to drink wine by the fire or - my favourite place - in the vine filled summer house. Perhaps the best thing about Horry Mill are the kind and generous hosts. Our daughters were allowed to collect eggs every day, we found flowers, chocolates and a cream tea waiting for us and there are lots of logs for the fire. We felt very lucky to stay here.

Horry Mill is a very special place to visit. Superb location in a quiet mid-Devon valley, nothing but birdsong and the occasional horse and rider walking past the kitchen disturbs the peace and quiet. Sonia and Simon are perfect hosts, always there if you need them but leave you to your space. Great walks from the door, or spend a sunny day in the garden with a good book. We did both.

It is hard to find the words to describe just what a beautiful place Horry Mill is. This well equipped cottage is cosy, spacious and full of character with lovely views from every window. It’s peaceful setting, in a huge flower-filled garden on the edge of woodland is just stunning, we enjoyed varied walks from the door, and spent hours watching the amazing array of wild birds and other wildlife which visited daily. Sonia and Simon are a really lovely couple who made us feel so welcome, this was our first visit and we are looking forward to returning in October.

Wonderful stay at Horry Mill. There was absolutely everything in the cottage that you could want - cream tea when we arrived, flowers, chocolates and deliveries of eggs. The cottage was warm and comfortable with a wonderful log fire, and full of books, puzzles etc. It was such a lovely place that you could easily not leave the cottage and surrounding area for your whole stay. Maggie, our Jack Russell was equally at home and enjoyed the numerous walks through the woods. Our thanks to Sonia and Simon for their hospitality. We can't wait to return.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage on the farm at Horry Mill. There is a long drive that leads to a very pretty valley setting, full of meadow flowers. The house is comfortable and clean and the hosts are accommodating and helpful but unobtrusive. The local villages are only a short drive away and there are interesting walks starting straight across the brook.

What a fabulous location and lovely cottage. We had a very comfortable stay at Horry Mill Cottage and enjoyed some great walks locally and within driving distance. I would highly recommend a stay here.

My partner and I (along with our goldie) stayed at Horry Mill for a week in Sept and loved it! The cottage is cosy yet spacious and the large garden delightful. Hosts Sonia and Simon were so kind and welcoming. The homemade scones, fresh eggs and honey were a lovely touch. It’s a few miles to the nearest village and pub, but that was part of its charm. Very easy to fill your days reading the ample books provided and enjoying the peace and tranquility, be it in the summer house, the vine filled little conservatory (heavy with grapes at the time) or in front of the open fire. Just wonderful!

This was a return visit to this special farmhouse hide-away with walks from the door along the wooded riverside. Set between Exmoor and Dartmoor, we were able to enjoy both National Parks, whilst the estuary at Appledore and Instow is also within easy reach. This charming old property is very spacious and there are numerous places to sit out in the garden. Bees and butterflies are in abundance, and we also saw Bambi twice in the river just a short distance away. Very dog-friendly. A true escape from life to re-charge your batteries......until the next time. We are sure to return. Enjoy!

I had a wonderful time in Horry Mill, the place is enchanting, like somewhere straight out of a fairy tale. The cottage is so cozy and warm. Sonia and Simon are the BEST hosts, such lovely people! 10/10 I would definitely visit again!

An idyllic week - beautiful walks out thro' the woods from Horry Mill, cold white wine in the summer house on warmer evenings and log fires when it rained. Horry Mill is so peaceful and relaxing - it was really hard to leave. The owners make it special - fresh eggs, scones and cream, and flowers in the sitting room. Perfection!

Sonia and Simon were wonderful hosts during our weeks stay at Horry Mill. Nothing was too much trouble for them despite them being so busy with their everyday chores on this working farm. The cottage was cosy with everything you would need for an enjoyable stay in any weather. Plenty of logs for the open fire and an endless supply of fresh free range eggs. The setting was about as quiet as it gets and local walks through the surrounding woods are stunning. For those who like to get away from it all, this place nestling in a beautiful Devon valley takes some beating.

Ideal stay, lovely hosts, great attention to detail for comfort of guests. Even in January, exhilarating and picturesque woodland walks on the doorstep. As an artist, I found inspiration inside and outside of the cottage. We've booked already for later in the year. PS a wag of the tail from Jack!

A truly fabulous stay at Horry Mill. Already looking forward to our next stay. Highly recommended.

Horry Mill Cottage has proved to be the ideal place for us to spend our precious holidays. The cottage is in a beautiful setting with walks with our dog from the doorstep. The cottage is cosy, tastefully furnished and well equipped. Sonia and Simon are the most friendly hosts, always on hand to give advice or help if needed. We have enjoyed autumn breaks, walking during the day and relaxing in front of a log fire at night, and with our family in summer having a barbecue in the lovelyl garden after days out.. We will keep returning as we have finally found the perfect place to stay!

We reckon this was our 23 visit to Horry Mill in twenty years. We keep coming back because it has all the ingredients for a truly wonderful holiday. Cottage has everything you need, in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Your hosts ever mindful of their vistors needs. Every year the cottage and holiday provides something new and fresh to be enjoyed.
