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.

Reviews

Paul, Leiden, The Netherlands

Horry Mill Cottage is truly amazing. A large, full free standing cottage full of historical details and atmosphere with great gardens around it. It exceeded all expectations. The cottage is located in the midst of forestland and fields and many public footpaths. And let's not forget the fresh eggs from the henhouse and the well-stocked library, including detailed maps. Sonia and Simon made us feel totally welcome and at home. This is the 1st time I can confidently say that I am looking forward to coming back.

Thank you as usual for your hospitality Sonia & Simon. We have had a lovely relaxing time not being tempted to do all the jobs at our house, garden and fields which like yours are never ending!

If heaven was a place on earth it would be much like Horry Mill farm! A magnificent idyllic setting, and a delightfully charming, spotlessly clean, and well-appointed cottage with an exquisite large garden. We would rate our stay as 10 out of 5 … However, given the limitations of the website, we will settle for 5 out of 5!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Horry Mill. Walks by the stream and into the woodlands. Watching the chickens and the cockerel strutting about just outside the kitchen window. We loved sitting in the the vinery with our breakfast, enjoying the warmth of the early morning sun whilst surrounded by greenery and birdsong. Thank you Simon and Sonia for being such welcoming and thoughtful hosts - plus of course the cream tea - a real taste of Devon!!

We have just returned from a week in Horry Mill Cottage with our very old labrador, Hamish. Due to his limitations we stayed close to 'home' and we couldn't have chosen a better place to do this. The cottage is very comfortable and there was nothing that we needed that we couldn't find. Sonia and Simon were excellent hosts. Sonia kept us supplied with fresh eggs and a welcome cream tea on arrival. My husband was able to take the dog for varied walks from the front door and we all enjoyed the delightful, natural garden. We have never felt so relaxed in a rental cottage and slept very well.

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.
