About this cottage rental
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.

Second time back and already booked again for next year. Perfect location, perfect property, full equipped with everything you need for a family with young children. Great communication. Highly recommended.
5.0
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.

Grew up spending summer holidays in the area so decided for a trip down memory lane. Lovely cottage and well located close to the Mill Pond. Very well stocked (other than shower gel, shampoo etc) and comfortable. Definitely recommend

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.

From the booking to arrival, stay and departure were easy and straight forward. It is in a nice quite location with all the equipment needed. We had a relaxing stay with friends / family who all said they thoroughly enjoyed it and felt completely refreshed.
5.0
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.

Beautiful house, in a beautiful setting. A real hidden gem is how I would describe stoke gabriel.
The mill house positioning couldn’t be better. Everything you want and expect of a chocolate box holiday cottage.

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!

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.

The property was well presented and inviting. We enjoyed the relaxing quiet atmosphere and its location enables you to either relax next to Mill Pond or travel further afield to one of the local seaside towns.

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.

4.0
The location was brilliant for seeing this part of Devon. The setting was absolutely fantastic, we never tired of the view or the peaceful environment. The accommodation was charming and well equipped.
One or two things would have made this holiday home even better.
On arrival it would have been helpful to have a small welcome pack containing fresh milk, coffee sachets, tea bags and buns/biscuits, as we have experienced in other holiday lets.
We had not expected to have to provide our own toilet paper. I texted the manager about the diminishing supply but received no response, so purchased a pack. When I visited her that evening she said the shortage was because new cleaners were employed and it was their job to ensure an adequate supply. She offered to contact them so they could remedy the situation but we had already done this. It would have been helpful if she had explained this by replying to my text in the morning.
She was able to provide us with a fresh bin bag on refuse collection day.
In the main bedroom ensuite, the intermittent start up noise of the macerator at irregular intervals during the night when not in use was loud, annoying and disturbing. It would be really helpful to be able to turn this off when not in use.
There were only 3 of us in the house. We think 7 would be overcrowded.
I hope this is a helpful review for people considering this property.

Everything great but no towels supplied which I thought was strange and a little annoying as the property was well equipped with everything else. It would have been nice to have been given washing up liquid too.

Lovely place to stay
A little gem of a place in the quaintest little welcoming village. Great accommodation. Lots to do in the area. Booking process was easy. Accessing the cottage was easy with very clear instructions. All necessary information about the cottage was available including what to do at the end of the stay. Very thorough and straightforward, clear concise information. We will be back.

This is one of the best rentals properties that we have used. It is very well equipped with easy to use appliances, full instructions and is exactly as described in the web site. It is comfortable, beautifully situated, with a lovely garden.
It was our second stay, and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Gorgeous Cosy Cottage
Thank you for a fantastic stay at your cottage. When we arrived we were surprised how big it was and as an extended family the 2 bedroom wings worked really well. The cottage was very clean and we really enjoyed lighting the wood burner after beening out in the grey damp weather. The cottage is very well equipped and even has a games cupboard which we made use of. Thank you for a really lovely stay.
