About this property

Delighful family owned, grade II listed cottage, 3 bedrooms - sleeps 7

Mill House is a Grade II listed building of historic interest. Ground floor rooms have beamed ceilings and all rooms overlook the Mill Pool.

The cottage is situated right by the Mill Pool, a non tidal creek off the River Dart estuary.

You enter the house through a stone porch, which leads into the living room with the kitchen off to you right.

There is a small garden at the rear and a paved terrace at the front where you can watch the world go by as well as any activities on the Mill Pool.

The cottage, while being very comfortable and ideal for a relaxing holiday, is also well suited for walking, fishing, or a sailing holiday and there are beaches, coastal and estuary walks, and Dartmoor nearby.

Crabbing at the edge of the pool is a particular favourite.

The Mill House

Our family of 5 had a wonderful short break at the Mill house. I can't fault it. It was clean and welcoming and had all that was needed for our stay. It's situated in a beautiful part of devon and wish we had the weather to enjoy the coastline, unfortunately it rained right through. We will definitely be returning in the summer.

Stoke Gabriel

The property was a lot smaller than anticipated, it was cozy for 4 adults and 2 teenagers but it was lovely. The location was amazing, we loved the mill pond and the little village. The kitchen was well equipped and clean and the garden was a great space to relax. The beds were comfortable but I do think the pillows is the master bedroom are in need of replacing. Also we noticed a faint drain smell in the bedroom after flushing the toilet in the en-suite. This didn’t ruin our stay though. Overall we would definitely recommend the Mill house.

Great location

Lovely house, great place to stay. Newly fitted bathrooms. Kitchen a little cramped for 7. Location is great, especially if you have kids that enjoy crabbing! Two restaurants and two pubs within easy walking distance.

Great stay

The communication was excellent. Allowed to extend our stay and also to enter the property early on the day arrival. The property was exactly as described and in a beautiful setting within a 5 minute walk to four pubs/restaurants and the well stocked village store. The neighbours were very friendly and gave a few helpfull tips. Main supermarket was under 15 minutes away. Lots of beautifull places to visit around South Hams. We had our own parking space along with a sign allowing another car to be parked in the adjacent car park. Overall a lovely peaceful place to stay with stunningly scenery. Recommend booking into the River Shack to ensure you get a table as is full over summer weekends.

Having stayed at this property before our impressions are still that it is well presented, clean and just as described. We all enjoy the area for both its quite relaxed atmosphere but still within easy reach of several ares for entertainment and food. Already re-booked for the summer.

Fabulous old cottage, fantastic location

My family and I had a lovely stay in Mill Cottage with great views of the mill pond and very close to the River Shack where we enjoyed meals and drinks. Stoke Gabriel is an idyllic Devonshire village and a must to go and visit! We had great weather which made the holiday even more enjoyable. Will definitely visit again!

Unser Aufenthalt in Stoke Gabriel

Sehr schönes, süßes, kleines Cottage. Die Lage war toll und die Ausstattung sehr gut, die Betten hätten für unseren Geschmack etwas bequemer sein können. Daß das Wetter nicht ganz so toll war, lag wohl weniger am Haus😉. So haben wir von dort aus tolle Ausflüge u.a. ins Dartmoor gemacht.

Comfortable, well equipped ( could do with a couple sun loungers! ) super clean ... great location.

We had a self catering holiday to visit family. We used the cottage as a launch pad for days out to the beach and walks. We enjoyed walks around the village to the pub, the church and the shack. I would definitely visit again.

Perfect!

We stayed for 4 nights and were very lucky to have the best weather possible for our trips on the river. We have stayed many times here and it feels almost like our own holiday house. It’s the perfect accommodation for us and the perfect location with water views from the house and now the addition of a lovely garden to sit in for meals.
