Mill Cottage at Marsh Mills is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its peaceful setting, friendly owners, and proximity to local amenities. Guests enjoy the beautiful gardens, wildlife, and the nearby pub. The cottage's traditional charm and location make it an ideal base for exploring South Devon, with many guests returning for repeat visits.
Most guests found the cottage well-kept, with only one mention of a damp smell. The positive remarks suggest high standards of cleanliness, but the single negative comment prevents a perfect score.
The location is highly praised for being close to Kingsbridge, with easy access to shops, pubs, and local attractions. The natural setting and wildlife are also appreciated, indicating an excellent location.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable and restful, with a firm but comfortable bed and a home-from-home feel. The presence of electric blankets and a spacious layout contribute to the comfort.
While guests mention the property being well-equipped and having a recycling system, there is insufficient detail to accurately assess the overall state of facilities and maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The property has parking directly outside as well as a great, private south-facing sitting terrace overlooking the mill pond. The rear gardens which are also used by the owners are very beautiful with various areas and seating, and are great for a stroll by the mill stream to see the hens in the garden and the ducks in the orchard.
The village, with a pub, village green, shop, tennis courts and church, is just a short walk away as is the tidal road along the river, a haven for wildlife, particularly sea birds.

From Bigbury-on-Sea you can walk across the causeway (at low tide) to Burgh Island - there is a sea-tractor to bring you back, if you stay too long on the island!

A great place to get away from it all. Very friendly owners who made us most welcome. A quiet retreat but close to a main road leading to Kingsbridge which has local shops and supermarkets. A lovely pub with very reasonably priced meals just a short walk from the cottage.

This well kept cottage is unique. I comes with a big garden and ample grounds around it, that John and Meggy share with their guests. They are always at hand to help and care for you. Nice area to explore and cherish the coast by walking or biking or to take advantage of touristic facilities by car.
