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.

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!

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.

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.
