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

Liz, Lanreath

We stayed there 3 months ago , but Horry Mill still shines brightly in my memory. This is an enchanted place. It felt like going on holiday to my childhood. If you love the deep peace of woods, steep valleys of flowers and birdsong, cattle grazing in small fields, ancient oak trees, then it's for you. You can walk everywhere: you won't need the car. The walk to Winkleigh (pubs, real post office, shop, butcher, cafes, church) is lovely and quiet, except for short stretch of busy road. Best of all is the cottage itself: beautiful, authentic, comfy, cosy, an open fire AND a Rayburn – just heaven.

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.

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.
