Perfectly located cottage in the valley
Stayed at the lovely Bratton Mill Cottage for a few days with family. Ideal location and perfect sized cottage. Communication with the hosts could have been better, had an issue with the heating which meant the property was quite damp. This didn't ruin our stay though, and we still had a lovely time. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Thank you

Beautiful secluded cottage
We stayed here for a short break (4 nights) with our kids aged 6 and 9. We wanted a central spot, both close to the north coast (Ilfracombe) and west coast (Saunton, Westward Ho! etc), and this fit the bill perfectly. Lovely little stream the kids had great fun playing in, with blissful surroundings. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed. Shower super strong and comfy beds...great trip. Thanks

Location fantastic, idyllic in fact however the condition of the property itself left a lot to be desired. The description said recently redecorated. We walked in and the smell of mould, damp and fusty was over powering. We left with all our clothing both worn and not worn smelling so bad it all had to be thoroughly cleaned. Curtains were dirty and covered in dust and cobwebs. What could have been an amazing break left us very disappointed and smelling fusty and damp. The property needs severe TLC

Peaceful retreat
The pressures of the world melt away in this beautiful valley in gorgeous north Devon; a well appointed 17th century cottage surrounded by dense deciduous woodland, with a sun-trap garden and babbling brook, Bratton Mill Cottage transports you back to happier, simple times. We'd highly recommend staying here - our family and dog can't wait to come back time and again.

Ein zauberhaftes Cottage im englischen Stil
Eine sehr schöne, liebevoll eingerichtete alte Wohnung mit englischem Flair und herzlichem Empfang. Gut ausgestattet, sogar ein Grill ist vorhanden, und mit toller Lage am Fluss. Wer Einsamkeit und Natur liebt, ist dort gut aufgehoben. Von dem Cottage aus kann man gut Wanderungen im Exmoor unternehmen und bequem nach Barnstable fahren.
