Welcome to this rather unique holiday retreat. New Mill is a rather deceiving name for this Grade II Listed watermill, which boasts many stunning original features, lovingly preserved and showcased for your enjoyment.

This beautiful mill is steeped in history, as is its special location. Nestled in the beautiful Dartmoor village of North Bovey, and neighbouring Bovey Castle, this charming semi-detached cottage makes the perfect retreat for those looking to enjoy a wholesome Dartmoor adventure. The walks, trails, and local 'must sees' are endless. Donning your walking boots, leashing up the dogs, and heading out in any direction you choose will treat you to all the delights of this glorious Dartmoor setting.

Not only are you surrounded by endless countryside in this chocolate box Dartmoor village, on your doorstep you have magnificent Bovey Castle, whilst just a short walk away you will find the historic and very popular 15th Century pub, Ring of Bells Inn. Whether it be treating yourself to a cream tea at the castle, or a touch of home-cooked, locally-sourced food and a traditional real ale at the Ring of Bells, you will be spoilt for choice.

Back at New Mill, on entering this delightful retreat, you will be instantly wowed by the magnificent cogs and waterwheel mechanics which greet you in the main entrance hall. On making your way up to the first floor, more marvels await, including the 'hatch' which is preserved and showcased perfectly.

Dining and relaxing in this rather special environment are a real treat, then when it comes to retiring for the night, the steps from the living-room lead you neatly to the landing where you will find both bedrooms and the family bathroom. The landing leads out onto the patio and three-tiered garden with barbecue, which make for the perfect space to enjoy the true delights of your magical location.

New Mill is a beautifully restored characterful building, with many quirks and wonders to enjoy. The rustic feel and rural setting help you feel a lifetime away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, whilst enjoying a retreat which can't be compared to many others.

Babes in arms under six months old are welcomed at New Mill.
