Horry Mill - Self-catering cottage in Devon
Hollocombe, Chulmleigh, EX18 7QH, Devon
England,
Regno Unito
Concealed by a thick blanket of award-winning woodland is this textbook country bolthole, where the birds chirrup, the river flows and the stars shine brightly. The guardians of your charming miller’s cottage are Sonia and Simon, who live in the nearby Millhouse.
It’s a place to step back and take stock: relax by the creamy Rayburn or doze off by the wonderful old fireplace with limitless logs. A pretty window seat upstairs overlooks the cottage garden – secluded and south-facing, a lovely spot for a summer barbecue.
Explore the valley by foot - Simon and Sonia’s enthusiasm for the area is infectious and they carefully manage the surrounding area. Bees, birds and bluebells are encouraged, and a small herd of beef cattle, pigs, ducks and hens merrily thrive.

Local points of interest from Simon & Sonia Hodgson:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Simon & Sonia Hodgson:
- Tuesday is the day of Hatherleigh Market, well worth a visit to pick up a bargain or two, or just some bread & cheese for a picnic before heading off to War Horse Valley. Thursday is the pannier market in South Molton. Lunch at Griffins Yard?
- RHS Rosemoor & Dartington Glass, a short drive from us at Torrington. Head up to the Spectacular North Devon Coast for a bracing walk - if you're lucky you may be able to see Lundy Island in the distance, or even book a day trip to visit.
- Take the train from Eggesford to Exeter on the Tarka line. Visit the beautiful cathedral, underground passages, museum, or wander down to the historic Quay. From Horry Mill Dartmoor is a short drive. Visit Castle Drogo or Lydford Gorge.
- 'The Shop at the End of the Universe' and The Mad Butcher can be found in Winkleigh - both are excellent and can supply most things for your break. Fiona's Farm shop is just up the road, and the Winkleigh Cider Co is worth a visit.
- There are numerous footpaths/bridlepaths, plenty of maps in the cottage, and books of walks slightly further afield.The Tarka Trail is about 20 mins drive. From Okehampton to Lydford you can cycle the Granite Way with spectacular views.
- Free unlimited logs - it really is true! There's no charge for dogs either. We have welcomed guests for 29 years - have seen small children grow in to young adults and the parents still come to stay. We look forward to seeing you here soon.
