Tuckenhay Mill - 1 Castle Cottage

Castle Cottage is part of Tuckenhay Mill, a working riverside complex in South Hams where the holiday cottages sit alongside extensive leisure facilities. The property has three bedrooms—a double with an ensuite, two singles, and a further single—plus a family bathroom, along with a ground-floor living room and kitchen. Bed linen is provided, and you have the whole place to yourselves, though the grounds and facilities are shared with other guests staying on site.

The draw here is access to the leisure complex rather than the cottage itself. Heated indoor swimming pools, a hot tub, sauna, steam room and outdoor pool (summer months) sit within walking distance, along with a tennis court and children's play areas both indoors and out. The indoor play space has slides, table tennis and pool tables. One well-behaved dog is welcome. Laundry facilities, wi-fi and parking are available, and the grounds include a BBQ area. Heating and pool use carry additional charges, which vary seasonally.

The setting suits families wanting more than a cottage holiday—the on-site activities mean there is plenty to do beyond the property itself. The mill grounds contain a stream, and arrival is from 4pm onwards.
