Peaceful retreat
The pressures of the world melt away in this beautiful valley in gorgeous north Devon; a well appointed 17th century cottage surrounded by dense deciduous woodland, with a sun-trap garden and babbling brook, Bratton Mill Cottage transports you back to happier, simple times. We'd highly recommend staying here - our family and dog can't wait to come back time and again.
