The cottage shares a private gated courtyard with the old watermill serving barista coffees, great local produce breakfasts (please check availability) and a licensed bar on the grain store floor during high season.
The old mill is described as one of the most intact in the area and is open to visitors at weekends during the Summer. Boasting a licensed bar serving local draft ale, larger and cider, along with a full selection of wines and spirits. The owner is also happy to open the mill privately for cottage residents and their guests who would like to see the historic machinery, host visiting friends or just to sit in the leather club chairs by the log burner and enjoy a glass or two after a long day!
The grounds of the mill comprise of a small private wheel-garden, which houses the 12-foot waterwheel, and a further 4 acres of private parkland beyond.
Across the road from the mill courtyard is a small private woodland along the Lapford Yeo river with a fire pit and our timber loft (a cabin on stilts!) for fishing, cooking, wildlife watching and relaxing. For health and safety reasons, the woodlands facilities are available by prior arrangement with the owner when available.
Lapford village has a well stocked large Spar and forecourt open to 10pm every day and an excellent dog-friendly village pub with a generous menu, all within short walking distance from Lapford Mill. There are numerous scenic walks around the area and the vast Eggesford forest offers river walks and a great place for all to explore.
