About this property

Mill Cote Cottage is a pretty, modernised cottage with all mod cons including a
woodburning stove, a pleasant living area, two bedrooms, a modern bathroom with heated towel rail and well equipped kitchen and utility room. There is a small courtyard garden with outdoor table and chairs.

The cottage is suitable for a couple or small family and a travel cot and high chair are available on request.

We love dogs, having one ourself, and your dog is very welcome, however we do expect any dog mess to be cleaned up and disposed of properly. Regrettably we cannot accept a bitch in or about to come into season. We don't allow dogs to be left alone at the property and the charge is £10.00 a night for your furry friend.

Electric vehicles: we do not allow vehicle charging, however in an emergency and with owners specific consent it is possible to run a lead, but there will be an additional cost of £10.00 minimum per charge for doing so, paid directly to the owner. Please advise if you intend to do this.

You will find a small supply of tea/coffee/milk and sugar to welcome you.

Cosy stay at Christmas

A lovely little cottage which was warm and clean for our Christmas stay. Really well equipped kitchen, great bathroom with lovely shower, and comfy bedrooms. The location was nice and quiet while still feeling central. A few Christmas decs would have been nice, also there was no wood for the fire, but overall we had a lovely stay!

Misled, unsafe stairs, and refused refund

I booked this property for my 81 year old partially sighted mother. There was no photo of the stairs, nor was there an access statement describing them. When we got into the property there was no way my mother could stay; she cannot see the differentiation of the steps owing to the thick brown shag carpet. She was tripping over the level changes on the ground floor, and the steep angle of the stairs and 90 degree turn made it unsafe and unsuitable for her. The 2005 Disability Act requires holiday lets to have a clear and accurate description of the layout of the property; this had neither. I was refused a refund from the owner, and VRBO investigated and advised I claim on the buyer’s protection from my credit card provider. This was obviously stressful as I had to find alternate accommodation at 4pm on. Friday, and have spent 3 weeks chasing for a refund. It’s a dumb problem to have as it could have easily been avoided had a photograph of the stairs been available on the booking information, and if the Access Statement had been written properly. TL/DR DO NOT BOOK FOR ELDERLY OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED. The stairs look like a nightmare for anyone with young kids too!

Small changes could make it top notch

We arrived late at night & it was dark. When getting out the car, I was asked by a neighbour if we knew where the parking space down the road was. Rather than helpful this felt quite passive aggressive. We easily gained access to the property, but when I found the designated parking space, a car was parked in it. I took a photo & we messaged the host. Their response said they didn’t recognise the car. We had to pay to use the pay & display car park. The bottom of the bath was damaged, which concerned us as we have two children under 5 years old. We reported this to the host who replied saying the bath was due to be replaced. The TV & WiFi worked well & proves useful during the unsettled weather. The games in the cupboard in the lounge provided entertainment too. The foldaway table & chairs worked well. The kitchen was fairly well equipped, although some newer/cleaner baking trays & chopping board would have been good. The wardrobes & bedroom furniture provided good storage. It was helpful that the host was able to provide a travel cot & highchair for our youngest. Some of the towels were were stained & very threadbare. This might’ve been understandable if it was the end of the season but it was July! I grew up in Kingsbridge & when visiting we’ve stayed in other self-catering accommodation that has more of a personal touch & is more polished e.g., milk & bubbly in the fridge a handwritten note wishing you an enjoyable stay. Extras like this = 5*s!

Perfect location for the centre of kingsbridge.

Lovely well equipped cottage for our stay, right in the heart of Kingsbridge centre. We enjoyed many of the local restaurants near by, including Indian, Turkish and and Chinese. All really high quality and loved by all of us.

Glorious Kingsbridge

A charming cottage in central but quiet location, comfortable and well fitted out. Parking very easy and great to be able to take the dog who enjoyed all the wonderful beaches nearby. Would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Bindon

I was born and have lived in the beautiful South Hams area for most of my life.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this cottage when I was 18 and thought about it a lot, thinking how amazing a "get away" place it would make. Over the years the feel grew stronger and then in 2011 it came onto the market and I bought it! A lot of work was needed including new roof, kitchen, bathroom, front patio area and general decoration, which was all carried out with respect for the building. I hope you love Mill Cote as much as I do.
