Our second visit to Mill Barn...we will come again as we found the cottage very homely, well equipped can comfortable. The secure garden is a must for our dogs which allowed their freedom without hindrance or concern. Altogether a great place to stay ...close enough to the obvious attractions of Devon

Lovely cottage, very clean, well equipped, spacious & comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay and the garden was secure for our dog. Had a nice surprise on arrival too, a cake and bag of doggie treats. The location is great for hopping onto the A361 and travelling to the places we like to visit, most within 30/45 mins.

Mill Barn was a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We enjoyed the garden when we returned each day as we had lovely weather and our dog loved the space. Contacted the owner (on a Sunday morning) and he was with us within an hour to sort a small boiler issue. Would higRead morehly recommend Mill Barn as a place to stay and we would happily stay again.
