Fantastic locale for walkers and hikers , not for the unfit or unstable . Spectacular views . Most of accomodation very good , the two twin bedrooms have no wardrobes and the two beds in downstairs level twin room creak and keep you awake. Information pack is ideally comprehensive . Lovely linen and bath towels but no hand towels ,could have brought our own had we known. Brilliant kitchen area , everything you need and large ! Very private area , pretty exclusive but only 15 minutes from busy holiday towns in each direction.

We had a lovely holiday at the Mill. Having an enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs and children. The house is a good size well appointed and equipped not pristine but clean and comfortable ideal for families with children and dogs. Great to have walks from the house. A beautiful area to explore.
5.0 / 5.0
The location with access to spectacular countryside and views is fabulous. The house is very well set up for a family or group with two spacious areas to spend time altogether or to be separate if needed. The bathrooms are modern and clean, plenty of hot water. The kitchen is very well equipped and the garden is really pretty. Can not fault it.

The walk down to Glenthorne beach is well worth the effort! The cream teas in Horner are excellent and the walk through Horner woods is really worth doing either before or after! If you want to go to Watersmeet then walk up the valley from Lynmouth as it is a great walk to a lovely location.

As soon as I turned into the lane I knew I'd booked somewhere special, and the photos don't do it justice. This is a stunning property in a remote location but within easy reach of many local attractions. Be careful of the drive in though if approaching from the East on the A39 there is an extremely steep hill just past Minehead. We had 7 adults and 5 children and all slept comfortably in the spacious bedrooms. Everything is provided for including 2 ovens in the well equipped kitchen. We all had a fantastic holiday with lots of laughs. Oh, and although there is WiFi it is quite weak and there is NO phone signal so prepare to have reduced contact to the outside world.

A few points which would be helpful for future guests
The baby gate, I fell three steps into thin air on the first night as I hadn’t realised that once one opened the gate there were still three steps left to walk down. I fractured my patella. I wonder how many other guests experienced a fall. It is a hazard.
We had a power cut there were no candles they would have been much appreciated.
The house was warm and clean in a wonderful setting.

If you are wanting total seclusion with spectacular views, this is the place. It is central point to explore both North Devon and Somerset, as it is situated on the border. Absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful holiday (3 generations from 75 to 21 months). Super house, interesting features, well-planned layout, extremely well-equipped and comfortable. The house and garden worked beautifully for us. Superb location - far-reaching views in every direction, and so peaceful. The freedom to roam all over the farm was a treat, great for walking, including the fun path down to the beach, which was great for clambering over rocks, and exploring rock pools. Porlock Weir and Lynmouth are well worth visiting - non-touristy even in August, and somehow slightly old-fashioned; but we actually spent more than half the week around the farm, enjoying the space and fresh air. The swallows were a bonus!

Set in beautiful countryside on a working farm, the mill is an idyllic place for a group get-together. The accommodation is spacious with a kitchen and living area on the ground floor, a mezzanine floor upstairs offers another area for relaxation or TV. The bedrooms are on two separate floors, 2 bedrooms (one en suite) downstairs and 2 on an upper floor with a bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, cutlery, and pots and pans. Add to this good quality cooker, 2 ovens, microwave, dishwasher and it is perfect for cooking and catering for the 10 people it accommodates. The owners are on hand if you need them and are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this property for walkers, or just a place to chill in peace and quiet. Porlock is a short drive one way and Lynmouth the other. But you could just wander all day on the farm and down the valley to the sea.

We couldn't fault the accommodation at all. Fantastic rural location and really well equipped. Everything spotlessly clean. Hosts on hand to offer advice re walks, places to eat etc. For our group of ladies celebrating a big birthday, it couldn't have been better. Lots of activities locally to keep us happy, including kayaking, hiking, mountain biking etc. Might even bring the husbands next time !

Wonderful setting in the hills leading down to the coast - this converted barn is spacious and well appointed, with comfortable beds, plenty of hot water for showers, and great views just outside. A few minor issues but nothing important.
This was a really great base to explore the area!
5.0 / 5.0
The Mill and location were ideal for our family of 6 adults, 4 children plus an infant. Stunning views, geat weather, bird song and zero road traffic noise. The bedroom layouts worked perfectly for everyone, parents, grandparents and children. The kitchen/dining area was just right for us too. As we mostly cooked and ate at the Mill we generated a lot of food and packaging waste, clear recycling facilities (if possible) would have been be a great enhancement.

Fantastic house in a fantastic location. Amazing walks straight from the door, walking to Porlock Weir was my favourite day of the week. We were also lucky enough to encounter a Peregrine Falcon a little way up the lane! Highly recommended :)

Such a beautiful place to stay, the location is stunning. We particularly enjoyed the walks from the cottage, an evening stroll to see the beautiful sunset was so rewarding. On our last day we walked from the cottage to Lynton, a little challenging but so worth it. This coastal walk has amazing views. Would definitely love to stay again, very well equipped and the large fridge freezer is so useful.

We loved our week at Yenworthy Mill - the house is perfectly situated in quiet, peaceful surroundings. Immaculately clean with plenty of space for everyone. Amazing showers with hot water and great water pressure. Large fridge/freezer. We got an online food order delivered as we arrived which worked well. Be aware that the BBQ is charcoal, not gas.
Thank you for an amazing stay.

Beautiful place remote and fantastic walks, highly recommend this place we all loved it including the dogs, must do the walk to the beach and it’s so close to all the places that are lovely to go to, but if you have dogs make sure you take a tick remover or they have the tablet before they go

Lovely house and beautiful location.
The small details helped, there were some t bags and toilet rolls etc so we didn’t have to rush out to the shops.

This is an ideal place to stay for a family get together. Six adults and four children had plenty of room, the mill is very well stocked with everything you need for a self catering holiday.
We arranged a Tesco grocery delivery and there was plenty of room in fridge/freezer and cupboards for all our supplies. There's plenty of crockery, pots, pans, casserole dishes etc., can't think of anything that was missing at all.
The owner was very helpful and is on hand if you need anything at all.
The accommodation is quite remote and down a narrow road, fortunately we didn't encounter a car coming in the opposite direction as there are only a couple of passing places.
We had an excellent week and would recommend this as a good base to explore the area. We really liked Lynton and Lynmouth, some really nice places for any time of the day for food, a couple of nice pubs, and an excellent fish and chip shop down by the harbour that has an inside seating area. There's also plenty of rock pools to explore.
Woolacombe is about 50minutes drive and has everything you need for a beach day, as does Croyde which is just along the coast.
Ilfracombe Tunnel Beaches are good for an overcast day with plenty of rock pools to explore (there is an entrance fee)

Best of all was the stunning location and beautiful walks right from the door. The walk to Glenthorne Beach is gorgeous, if a little challenging. The walk to Culbone Church is delightful, not difficult. We also walked numerous times to County Gate and Sugar Loaf and also to the Roman Fortlet.
5.0 / 5.0
Yenworthy Mill is in a most beautiful location, with picturesque wide open spaces surrounding the home. It’s ability to accommodate a large family gathering was perfect for our needs. The two living spaces and the spread out position of the bedrooms makes it a suitable rental for different generations in one place! The large table enhancing the experience of dining as one large family and the cot and the freedom to take a dog was also appreciated. It was toasty warm making ideal for winter rental as well as a summer retreat.

The house is spacious, clean and well equipped in a beautiful peaceful location with good walks from the door
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful area, stunning views, great location for various other places to visit. Excellent layout of accommodation for our needs (twins, parents, grandparents, friend). Friendly farmer, farm dogs that the boys fell in love with. Will certainly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
Clothes dryer door broken and more tea towels
Bath mats would be good
