Travellers describe The Mill House Bampton as a peaceful rural cottage near Bampton, well placed for walks and day trips across Exmoor and Devon, with a distinctive mill character that many find charming and a relaxing setting for getaways.
Guests repeatedly praise the spacious, well equipped interiors, including a huge kitchen, comfortable lounge areas and three bathrooms, plus thoughtful extras like books, games and occasional welcome treats. Host Joy is often described as friendly, responsive and helpful, meeting some arrivals and offering local tips. Some note areas that could use a deeper clean or minor updating, and parking by the farm track can feel tight for larger cars. Overall, it works well for families and small groups seeking a comfortable base.

About a mile out of Bampton, very quiet, dark skies at night, plenty of space for six people in two cars (maximum). Good location for travel in Devon. It’s the little things that count and we felt welcomed. Well stocked kitchen. All round a great base for a visit.

Fabulous quiet location. Being able to get to both levels from outside was a real plus for us as we have a Labrador who doesn’t do stairs!

Perfect! Our stay with friends at The Mill House, Bampton over the weekend was exactly as we wished. The cottage was large, warm and extremely comfortable. The kitchen/dining room was huge and provided us with a great venue to relax, drink and eat after a lovely day out on Exmoor. The whole cottage was extremely clean, including and all bed linen and towels. Parking was perfect for two cars and the location of the cottage was fantastic........so quiet and not too far from all local amenities. The owner (Joy) welcomed us on the first evening and was available (living close by) should we have needed any help. The 'welcome' pack of tea, coffee, etc was just what we needed. We would highly recommend for small groups of adults or a family (plenty of books, games and DVDs available should they be needed). WIFI and water pressure was strong throughout the property.

Mill House is in a really quiet location. It's a 20 minute walk along Ford Road into Bampton and the nearest pub (The Quarrymans), local shops including a butcher, greengrocer, SPAR, and a delicatessen. Two playgrounds provide activities for children. It is such a well equipped house that everything we needed was provided:. Including a heated towel rail - very handy for drying out swim wear. Swimming nearby is at an indoor swimming pool in Tiverton and a small outdoor pool in nearby Wiveliscombe (Wivey Pool). Both are great for children letting off steam.

Our group of three couples was visiting Bampton to attend a wedding, and the Mill House was ideal for us with plenty of space, a really good kitchen/dining area with underfloor heating, comfortable seating areas and three bathrooms to use. The property is on a quiet lane around a mile outside the village and it is easy to walk from the door (plenty of footpaths and bridlepaths), or drive further afield to visit the Exe valley, Exmoor, Wimbleball lake etc. We enjoyed a restful week in pleasant rural surroundings.

Mill House is a lovely cottage which is very well equipped. Bampton was a lovely friendly village and we found everything we needed. There was enough parking for our 3 cars. The welcome pack was just what we needed after a long drive and Joy very kindly set up stair gates, high chair and cot for our arrival.

The house is nice, very spacious and comfortable but it would benefit from updating, maintenance and attention in places. Some areas require a deep clean. A guests info guide would also help as had to guess on heating, appliances, rubbish etc.

Overall a good experience. Great, quiet location and very generously sized property. Very well equipped and even has a proper freezer. Owner was very friendly and helpful, and greeted us in person upon arrival. Milk and biscuits had kindly been left out for us too. The only thing that brought the experience down for us was the level of cleanliness. The property has probably not had a deep clean in a while (only basic cleans) and it showed. Other than that a great stay :-)

Turned up after a long drive down from Derby. Found at the end of a long narrow road amongst trees and fields is this lovely place to stay. Rooms are very roomy and very clean, 2 rooms are en-suite and the other room had the communal bathroom right next door. Huge kitchen and sitting room. We felt so at home here and could happily stayed for a lot longer than a few nights. You will need a car if your staying here as its in the middle of a small village and fields. But if solitude is what you need it's lovely. With a car there are plenty of things to do and places to see so as a base it's perfect. We can't thank the owners enough, the little extra touches go a long way.... like the coffee,tea, fab biscuits and the milk. Plus the table had a jug of fresh tulips. We will be back. Thank you

Stayed for 6 nights for a family wedding in Cullompton with my daughters and their boyfriends. The cottage is stunning and really clean and cared for. Joy was so lovely and met her once at the start of the stay for information on a good chineee takeaway and local knowledge. The homemade lemon cake that was left was delicious and very kind.

Superb house, lots of space (there were only 2 of us, but even so, it is a lovely large space for more guests). Really clean on arrival, lovely bedding, rooms and bathrooms. Joy kindly popped in to make sure we were OK and was flexible on us leaving later, which was lovely of her. Really recommend it for a relaxing break. You can walk into Bampton via the back lanes in less than 30 mins.

All the rooms were large and clean with a huge kitchen and the added benefit of 3 bathrooms. Wifi was very strong and even though in the countryside and on farms, no countryside smells or insects. Very quiet location with 45 to 60 minute car journeys to places of interest in all directions. Just a reminder that there is no garden, which we were aware of and not really needed in such a lovely setting.

Extremely spacious house in a perfect location for a wedding at Holwell Farm. Joy was very responsive in the run up to the stay and popped by to check everything was ok after arriving. The Viennese cream biscuits on arrival were amazing and a nice touch. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a spacious 3 bed with large kitchen, table and separate lounge area

We always go away at New Year to escape the fireworks because of our dog so the location was perfect, rural enough to not hear them but close enough to amenities of the town - great places to eat, provisions - amazing butcher and grocers and two spas for essentials. Joy the owner is so helpful and responded quickly to text. The cottage is spacious with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We will be back.

Mill House is a lovely cottage which is very well equipped. Bampton was a lovely friendly village and we found everything we needed. There was enough parking for our 3 cars. The welcome pack was just what we needed after a long drive and Joy very kindly set up stair gates, high chair and cot for our arrival.

Location
Rural and peaceful, around a mile from Bampton, with footpaths from the door and easy drives to Exmoor and wider Devon. Many see it as a convenient base for day trips, and a few mention narrow approach lanes.

Perfect location for a group of friends who love the outdoors. Good walks from the door. Bampton has more facilities than expected including excellent fish and chip shop.

Turned up after a long drive down from Derby. Found at the end of a long narrow road amongst trees and fields is this lovely place to stay. Rooms are very roomy and very clean, 2 rooms are en-suite and the other room had the communal bathroom right next door. Huge kitchen and sitting room. We felt so at home here and could happily stayed for a lot longer than a few nights. You will need a car if your staying here as its in the middle of a small village and fields. But if solitude is what you need it's lovely. With a car there are plenty of things to do and places to see so as a base it's perfect. We can't thank the owners enough, the little extra touches go a long way.... like the coffee,tea, fab biscuits and the milk. Plus the table had a jug of fresh tulips. We will be back. Thank you

About a mile out of Bampton, very quiet, dark skies at night, plenty of space for six people in two cars (maximum). Good location for travel in Devon. It’s the little things that count and we felt welcomed. Well stocked kitchen. All round a great base for a visit.

Superb house, lots of space (there were only 2 of us, but even so, it is a lovely large space for more guests). Really clean on arrival, lovely bedding, rooms and bathrooms. Joy kindly popped in to make sure we were OK and was flexible on us leaving later, which was lovely of her. Really recommend it for a relaxing break. You can walk into Bampton via the back lanes in less than 30 mins.

For us with three labradors, the location was ideal with the bridlepath up behind the cottage. The cottage itself was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. Bampton is a nice little town, good shopping, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner at The Swan. Not far from M5 Junction and ideally situated between North and south coasts, though minor roads were a bit 'challenging'.

The location proved ideal for visiting the moors, gardens such as RHS garden at Rosemoor, and NT properties at Knightshayes and Killerton, and for visiting the north coast. A very quiet rural location.

Our group of three couples was visiting Bampton to attend a wedding, and the Mill House was ideal for us with plenty of space, a really good kitchen/dining area with underfloor heating, comfortable seating areas and three bathrooms to use. The property is on a quiet lane around a mile outside the village and it is easy to walk from the door (plenty of footpaths and bridlepaths), or drive further afield to visit the Exe valley, Exmoor, Wimbleball lake etc. We enjoyed a restful week in pleasant rural surroundings.

Overall a good experience. Great, quiet location and very generously sized property. Very well equipped and even has a proper freezer. Owner was very friendly and helpful, and greeted us in person upon arrival. Milk and biscuits had kindly been left out for us too. The only thing that brought the experience down for us was the level of cleanliness. The property has probably not had a deep clean in a while (only basic cleans) and it showed. Other than that a great stay :-)

Stayed for 6 nights for a family wedding in Cullompton with my daughters and their boyfriends. The cottage is stunning and really clean and cared for. Joy was so lovely and met her once at the start of the stay for information on a good chineee takeaway and local knowledge. The homemade lemon cake that was left was delicious and very kind.
