Wonderful Bank Holiday Break

The property was in a quiet valley where we could walk in shade on a hot Bank Holiday weekend. The pond had newts and dragonflies and was a wonderful place for the children to see nature. All the amenities were first class, kitchen, dining area, lounge, games room, bedrooms and bathrooms and gave our large extended family space to have fun.

  • Organic pond swimming
  • Branscombe Beach
  • Local walks & rides

Beautiful property — pictures don't do it justice! Kitchen and bedrooms are a dream to stay in and the outside stream and pond is magical on a summer's day. Family of 10 with 2 kids and we had a lovely 4-day stay. Would definitely recommend.

Nine of us stayed at Hole Mill for four nights in October. The property is just like in the pictures — private, spacious, clean and full of character, set in beautiful grounds. The games room and selection of games provided kept us entertained in the evening, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would highly recommend Hole Mill.

An effortless five-star review! We had the most wonderful weekend at this stunning country house. The property is immaculate, spacious, and beautifully decorated, all set in a truly idyllic location — I couldn't recommend it highly enough. There were 12 adults in our group and we made the most of the ping-pong table and swimming pond too!

Amazing place. Beautiful house in a quiet setting. 30-minute walk to the beach. Well equipped and very clean. Easy communication and clear instructions on how to use everything in the house. The swimming pond was great even in the January cold. Would 100% stay again.

Stunning house, beautiful surroundings and nice and private. The house is well equipped, nice cosy log burner and the hot tub was a real treat. The host Ian was very responsive and super helpful. We would definitely stay again!
