The Property
A beautifully restored 350-year-old water mill — 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, sleeping 12+ in the heart of a secluded Devon valley.
Experience Luxury & Nature
Now available for direct booking after an extensive four-year renovation, Hole Mill blends historic charm with modern luxury in one of Devon’s most beautiful settings.
The property is a beautiful flint stone house with lime-pointed walls and original wood beams, celebrating its 350-year heritage. Douglas fir wood flooring runs throughout, and the top floor features vaulted ceilings with VELUX windows flooding the space with natural light.
A contemporary glass-roofed extension bridges the old and new — the dining area beneath it is one of the most spectacular spaces in the house. The modern extension also houses a large TV and games room for evenings in.
Outside, two private acres include a stunning organic swimming pond, a new wood-fired hot tub, a gentle stream, and direct access to walking trails leading to Branscombe Beach and the South West Coast Path.
Where You’ll Sleep

Master Suite + Ensuite

The Spaces
Every room thoughtfully designed for relaxed group living.
Designed for Groups
Kitchen
Installed in 2024, the kitchen is a high-spec open space purpose-built for larger groups. It features a large central island with seating, induction hob, double oven, American-style fridge-freezer, and every utensil you could need. A kickboard heater keeps it warm on cooler mornings. Light pours in through the glass roof of the adjacent dining space — making this the natural heart of the house.
Old Meets New
Dining Room & Link
The glass-roofed link room is one of the most striking spaces in the house — a contemporary extension that bridges the original mill building with the modern wing. By day it's flooded with natural light and surrounded by views of the garden and stream. By evening, it transforms into an intimate dining space for the whole group. The large dining table seats 12 comfortably.
Cosy & Character-Filled
Lounge
The main lounge sits within the original flint stone walls of the mill, with exposed Douglas fir beams, a working log fire, and deep sofas for long evenings in. A large TV and smart speaker are available. The room has a warmth and character that is genuinely hard to leave — particularly on winter weekends with the fire going.
Entertainment for All
Games Room
The modern extension houses a dedicated games and TV room, separate from the main lounge — perfect for groups who want to split across two spaces. There's a full-size table tennis table, a large screen TV, and comfortable seating. Ideal for evenings when the weather turns, or for keeping children entertained while adults relax.
4 Bathrooms Throughout
Bathrooms
The property has four bathrooms, ensuring no queues for larger groups. The master en-suite features a freestanding oval bath and rainfall shower. There is an additional large drench shower in the extension, a family bathroom, and a further shower room near the kitchen wing. All bathrooms are fully equipped with towels, toiletries, and heated towel rails.
