We expected the property to be small, quirky and unusual. We also expected it to be clean. The entire property was absolutely filthy and needed a thorough clean. The bedding looked crumpled and used and was far from fresh. The kitchen sink also needed a good scrub as did the bathroom. The carpets were dirty. There was a grimy used bar of soap in the bathroom. The wiring looked dodgy. The taps were held together by elastic bands. When we arrived we picked up towels from the floor. The latest two comments in the guest book also commented on the accommodation being dirty. We have lots of other points too and photographs of everything. We ended up spending £320 to stay elsewhere (last minute, peak season) as we were in Devon for my Dad's 80th. On the plus side, the host was communicative and welcoming. We did not tell them we were not staying until we had secured alternative accommodation for both nights When we did, she seemed genuinely amazed that we found it not fit for purpose. This could be a beautiful property if thoroughly cleaned.

Adorable and quirky little house, oozing with character. Comfy beds, great location for local shops and restaurants, and as a base to explore the area. Only slight negative for us was getting used to town noises as we live in a village. The Combat Collection at Cobatton, and Instow beach (both recommended by the host) are worth a visit, and my boys (16 & 14) loved outdoor laser tag at Survival Combat Games.

We loved the quirky, unique character of Miller House. The furnishings were very bespoke due to the unusual layout and size of the building. One off art pieces were beautiful throughout the property. The area was quiet and we ate at the fabulous Italian restaurant nearby. Shopping in Bideford was good especially the artisan shops on Mill Street. Shan recommended a trip to Appledore and we had a brilliant day there with a ferry trip to Instow and visit to the farmer’s market. We originally booked Miller House as it is perfectly located for a trip to Lundy. A few more facilities at Miller House would have made our stay more comfortable. There were no cooking facilities other than a microwave oven nor anywhere to hang or store our clothes. The living room needed a little sofa as it only had one armchair. There was no wifi and TV which was fine for just a few days but for any longer would have been an issue. Never-the-less we felt proud of our little place on the heritage trail and it was a safe haven to return to every day. We parked at the long stay car park nearby. Great views of the harbour from the top floor and the sound of church bells on Sunday made for a fine stay. Miller House suits those who love art, history and character in a property.
