About this cottage rental

Mill cottage, being attached to our home known as Iron Mills, was formerly a working Mill. The cottage, which is the original building, dates back to the 17th century and still retains a rotating mill wheel which was completely refurbished last year. The cottage is attached to our main house and we are situated in the older part of the village which has retained much of its original charm. The garden borders the River Caen, which meanders through Braunton village and out into the Taw & Torridge estuary. Just across the river is the beautiful 13th Century church of St.Brannock. Just a five-minute walk into the village centre, you will find a variety of pubs, restaurants, cafes and surf shops. We operate a non-smoking policy throughout the cottage.

Mill Cottage is full of character and very cosy. It is very well equipped, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Carole and Ben are very friendly, welcoming hosts, and the welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Braunton is ideal for a holiday, with a range of shops and places to eat, and is very well situated for visiting the stunning local beaches and walks, and other attractions in this beautiful area. We really enjoyed our holiday and would not hesitate to return in the future. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay so much; the property was lovely and Carole was a brilliant host with just the right balance of friendliness and availability whilst leaving us to get on with our holiday. The cottage felt like home and was really comfortable with lots of little homely touches but not at all cluttered. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and the furniture was comfortable, modern and spotlessly clean. The WiFi and TV worked really well too. We were wary of the shower, having had so many poor ones at other properties, but even that was great. The little garden was an unexpected bonus. I would recommend to anyone else and I do hope we'll be back at some point in the future.

Brilliant from start to finish. Really good communication with Carole through the booking process and met us at the property. Spotless clean, Carole and Ben had really thought about the little things that make your stay away easier. Great location to explore the local area by foot, bus or car. Good local pub in the village where the locals made us so welcome. Would give the whole stay 10/10!

The cottage was warm and cosy with everything you could need and set in a beautiful, peaceful location. Carole and Ben were the perfect hosts. The cottage was a 5 minute walk into Braunton centre for the shops, restaurants, pubs and tourist information. It is a 10 minute drive to wonderful beaches. We will definitely return.

A wonderful little cottage., perfect position for everything we wanted to do. Carole and Ben were great hosts, greeted us on arrival and helped set up the BBQ when we struggled to connect the gas. They had left us a lovely welcome pack - including prosecco - which was really appreciated. There is a private garden to use as well which was great. Really clean and tidy, well finished and nice touches around the cottage too. The shower and water pressure were great. Plenty of storage and good size bedrooms. Would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely go back. Thank you Carole and Ben for a lovely stay - hope to see you again soon. Sam, Phil, Margaret and Dave

Lovely warm welcome from the hosts who showed us around and then left us to it, but also helped out when needed. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you need plus welcome extras (Prosecco and chocolates are a good touch after a four hour drive with a toddler!). Lovely garden area with barbecue too although the weather let us down a bit before we could make the most of this. The nicest holiday cottage we’ve stayed in, I think we’ll be back next year!

A beautiful cottage perfectly equipped and tucked away in a quiet location a short walk away from Braunton village. Carole the owner is a wonderful host, and nothing was too much trouble - even supplying us with new batteries for the Christmas tree lights. We look forward to returning again later in the year.

After arriving later than intended Carole and Ben were there to greet me and check I had everything I needed. They couldn't have been better hosts and nothing was too much trouble! The property itself was beautiful and spotlessly clean with a lovely private garden. The bed was super comfortable and the property well equipped. It was also lovely and peaceful. The local people are friendly and there's some good pubs that are dog friendly and serve food. Further afield there's plenty of places to visit including the beautiful Saunton sands. I want to go back already, it was that good!!

Ideal base for exploring North Devon

Ideal base for exploring North Devon

The cottage was ideal for our break in Devon - clean, comfortable, with very welcoming owners next door who could not have been more helpful. We had problems with a tap on our first day and it was immediately replaced for us. We were also kindly lent an extra body board to use at the beach. The location is a great base for getting to the beaches at Saunton and Croyde; the traffic could be a bit slow through Braunton as people went or returned from the beach but then it was peak season and lovely weather! We had a great stay and would be very happy to return.

Spent Xmas week at Mill Cottage with my wife and our 2 little girls and had a lovely time. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner Carole, had kindly left us a Xmas basket of treats on our arrival which was a lovely gesture. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend this property as a great place to spend Xmas or indeed any other time if the year!

Perfect house in a great location.

Perfect house in a great location.

We loved this little house in a quiet location close to the town centre. It was perfect foe the two of us. We used the downstairs bedroom as a ‘boot room’ and then stayed in the comfy double on the top floor. The kitchen was very well equipped and the smart TV made for excellent rugby world cup viewing. We loved being able to walk to Braunton for dinner. We were welcomed warmly by our hosts and thank them for a wonderful stay.
