Our stay was so quiet and relaxing in such a comfortable home. The apartment had so much space and everything had been thought of to make it a really lovely stay. We will definitely come back.

Wonderful place, tranquil and relaxing. Due to COVID rules, swimming pool was done by a booking system per cottage, this was a great idea, we loved having the pool to ourselves for 50 minutes.



A happy holiday!!

We were delighted to find this property as a last minute get away ! We had a lovely restful week in this beautiful location. The hosts were really helpful. I especially enjoyed my pool sessions, with covid restrictions you have the pool to yourself and availability was very good ! The cottage was lovely and warm compared to our home
What would have made it 5 stars overall ?
Improved sound insulation between up and downstairs - we could hear every footstep and door opening and hope equally we didn’t disturb ! However, we’re early birds and this may not be an issue for others
Improved mattress - not uncomfortable but worn
Kitchen storage is very limited but there is a generous cupboard near bedroom . Cooker instructions would be helpful .
Dog walking - it’s great to have immediate options for a short walk/toilet. Otherwise we had to get in car and drive 10-15 minutes to park up for a decent walk, we recommend Heddon valley ( turn left out of drive) . Sat nav confusing ! The road to Hunters inn ( our favourite walk to a little bay) is not for the faint hearted but the views are soporific. Some Coast walks with dogs are not so easy in season and parking can be a pain and costly ( eg Combe Martin) . Not many paths have parking nearby except on moor paths/coast.
Fish and chips in Combe Martin is good ! ( black and white - pay parking opposite, ok for quick pop in )
Watersmeet is worth the trip and the village of lynton is charming. Broom hill sculpture garden is also worth a visit , cheaper at door than eventbrite. The Reservoir is also very nice, you can park free. There is so much to see !
Access to a decent supermarket - we saw Tesco’s delivering . There is a community shop inBerrynarbour , nice little village .
Finally, we were assured there was a smart TV- it’s just a basic one but there are dvds to borrow - as we were at the cottage quite a bit this was more important and a bit of a disappointment
Reception - problematic at times but not unusual in rural setting Note,there is a £4 charge for laundry each time

This is such a beautiful area to visit and would wholeheartedly recommend it ! For young families it will be a delight !Very relaxing , thank you !



very good

Overall a delightful spring break - the cottage was comfortable, well equipped and, if your looking for tranquility, in a delightful but slightly remote location (you do need to have a car to explore Devon and to get to a shop, pub or restaurant). The pool was a huge bonus but a bit on the chilly side, likewise having mobility issues for me the steepish gravel drive way was challenging. Richard and Alli were super hosts. Would hope to return sometime.



A wonderful location for a relaxing break.

We had a great stay at lower mill, wheel farm which is a lovely setting and very peaceful. Richard and Alli were attentive hosts and made us feel very welcome. We were lucky enough to get away just before the second lockdown and even had the use of the pool which was amazing.

A stunning location that was great for us to explore north Devon from and a very well thought out place to stay. We thought it was the best place we have stayed in terms of room and facilities, feeling very cosy when coming back from a days exploring. We would definitely recommend staying here it was very clean and comfortable with all you need available.

I’m sure we will be back in the not too distant future!

Given the wet and windy weather and the limitations imposed by Covid, Wheel Farm provided a great autumn break. Tennis court is not functional because the surface hasn’t been maintained but the swimming pool was a good resource and owners were extremely helpful.



Cosy cottage

Had a lovely week at Lower Mill cottage. Richard and Alli have gone to great lengths to ensure the cottages and whole site are COVID secure so it felt a safe place to be. Grounds very well kept and attractive, plenty of space. Lovely to watch the birds feeding from the window. Swimming pool clean and well kept with a booking system for exclusive use. Shame sauna not available but understandable in the circumstances. Our cottage was warm and cosy. Didn’t need to use the log burner but everything provided if we had to. Only slight down side for us was the noise of people in the accommodation above. Not particularly noisy but could hear them moving about particularly at night time - old building - creaky floors! Felt the cottage would benefit from an extractor fan for cooking as kitchen/dining/sitting room combined. Also a couple more pans, larger bowls, measuring jug would have been useful helpful. All in all a great place to stay. Thanks Richard & Alli

Great place to stay. A complex of converted farm buildings in lovely surroundings. In total sleeps around 50 in various configurations. We were there in March awful weather but warm and cosy. Not a criticism but be aware: kitchen fully equipt but no store goods e.g. salt, pepper, oil, clingfilm etc. If you think you'll need it bring it.

Hi Margaret, thank you very much for your lovely review, so glad you had a good time despite the weather. Sorry about the lack of salt,pepper etc but with so many cottages it's impossible to provide everything. We look forward to seeing you at Wheel Farm again and if you need to book again please remember to visit www.wheelfarmcottages.co.uk or www.myfavouritecottages.co.uk. Best Regards Harry

Spring break

Although the weather was challenging we were warm and comfortable in lower mill.
Everything we needed was provided.
We had the pool to ourselves on the occasions we used it.
Owners friendly and making sure we were comfortable and asking if we needed anything else.
Altogether a good week.
