This cottage was once part of the sawmill complex at Town Mills, a Grade II listed former mill and manor house on the River Torridge near Great Torrington. Built in 1823, the building retains its period character while offering modern comforts—you get the whole place to yourself across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, sleeping up to five. One bedroom has a double bed with an ensuite bath and spa, another a single bed with ensuite, and a third contains bunk beds.
Downstairs there's a living room with a smart TV and a kitchen equipped for cooking, with an electric oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. The grounds span 3 acres with parking on site, a shared games room with a pool table, and a heated indoor swimming pool (12ft by 33ft) with changing facilities. One dog can stay free. The property does not permit smoking.
The location suits families exploring the North Devon coast or Exmoor, or anyone following the Tarka Trail. Greenways Valley Holiday Park is nearby. Do note there is a securely fenced river and an ornamental pond on the grounds.

stay Town mills was a lovely comfortable base for exploring north devon. Skiir was spotless and everything was provided. My son and I enjoyed the games room which we used daily. The pool was an added bonus. Will hopefully return soon

We had a fantastic family stay at Town Mills. The cottage was very spacious and comfortable, and it genuinely had everything we needed for a longer stay. The house stayed cosy and warm, and it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful at night. We really enjoyed having access to the pool and games room, which were great additions to our stay. The location is also ideal; the town is close by, making it very easy to explore the area and enjoy days out. On top of that, communication was excellent, and any questions we had were answered quickly. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend it. Thank you!

Location was gorgeous, surrounded by forests, water, and birds.. We rented Tarka, as we were a large family coming together for a birthday, age ranging from 2 to 80 years old. The place was large and had enough rooms for everyone, nice 2 ensuite doubles, with tvs, the rest were twin rooms. All had luxury bedding, we all agreed we slept so well there. The host Jonathan was lovely, and brought us milk, orange juice and cookies, which was so kind. There was a lovely heated pool, very large, and we had great fun in there, you can book slots so that you have some privacy. There's also a games room, which we didn't use... too busy having a party, and eating and drinking, having fun together. Had a lovely bank holiday weekend, just what we were looking for! I would recommend this place for larger families! There were 9 of us..

We hired the cottage for its location and excellent indoor swimming pool. We were not disappointed. The cottage was very reasonably priced and this was a reflection of the new owners gradually updating the accommodation. Everything was sparklingly clean, with high quality bedlinen, towels and comfy beds. The WiFi was the best we've found in the area and smart TV was great. Little touches like fresh milk, orange juice and cookies, an excellent induction hob and views of the river made it a lovely week.
