Accommodation overview: This holiday cottage lies quietly, in an elevated position, overlooking the beautiful coast around Ilfracombe. It enjoys a sunny situation in a pleasant courtyard, adjacent to the owners’ 17th-century farmhouse.

It is ideal for large family groups, being both spacious and characterful. Boasting an array of beams and sloping ceilings, it also caters for people with disabilities.

Holidays here can be incredibly relaxing, or completely fun-filled, depending on which sights or attractions are visited.

Three miles away is Woolacombe Sands – a Blue Flag beach, which is a firm family favourite; in addition to being a mecca for surfers. There are two golf courses within 4 miles; and a driving range just a mile away. Horse riding is available from stables, which neighbour the property.

Around the mill are all the buildings which once went to make up a small bustling village port. These listed buildings have been sympathetically restored and converted to a delightful range of holiday properties to suit larger family parties. Awards have been won for the conversion of buildings and the conservation of the area. With so much to do, many holidaymakers return year after year.
