An ideal place for a reunion of friends with space to breath, not that we left the dining table/kitchen when indoors, the lounge was really comfortable - used when friends left. Great walking nearby or a short drive, lots of dog friendly local places. Dog loved sitting at top of stairs watching the birds/squirrels and Percy pheasant in the garden.

The local pub -The Castle Inn was very friendly and lovely food. We had a meal on the Tuesday night followed by the weekly Pub Quiz which was great fun! We would definitely recommend this cottage for a quiet, cosy break away.

We loved that you shared your family photos and wonderful doggy walks. Mill Bridge is a perfect home from home and perfectly situated to explore all that North Devon and Cornwall has to offer. Thank you so much, I would certainly recommend Mill House as a great place to stay.
