Gages Mill

The location was quiet and very pleasant. The breakfast was very good with toast also served with it.

I really could not fault it there were nice toiletries in the bathroom and we were left to our own devices.

The property was lovely, in a peaceful location, within easy access to Ashburton

There was nothing to dislike about the property

Lovely old mill in the countryside yet near enough “civilisation” which is only a short walk away. Comfortable, warn and friendly as were our hosts. Good breakfast and very welcome honesty bar.

Like all old properties sometimes the plumbing needed a bit of encouragement.

Een mooie tuin waar je heerlijk kunt zitten. Al is het jammer dat je de autoweg hoort en geen kussens voor de stoelen.

Het viel niet tegen maar het is sober en eenvoudig. Puur om te slapen. Was het minste verblijf tijdens onze reis.

the hosts were very friendly and helpful. always available for a question or recommendation. lovely people and a lovely house with rustic farmy feel to it. loved it

the shower was abit tiny and water pressure not great. but otherwise comfy and clean and in good condition

Kate and Nathan were very welcoming

Rustige ligging, prachtige tuin, aangename hosts

/

De eigenaars zijn super vriendelijk en erg gastvrij. Het uitzicht was fantastisch. Mooie ligging. Rustig.

Badkamer, met name de douche was klein.

Mooie oude verbouwde molen. Prima ontbijt en aardige gastheer en -vrouw.

Bedden waren beetje hard.

A delicious homemade breakfast. A place to stay with plenty of information to help you explore Dartmoor National Park.

Tolles Haus, ruhige Umgebung, sehr nette Gastgeber

Excellent, but maybe for 5 nights a bit more choice for breakfast would have been welcome!

We are elderly, so a "grab rail" over the ensuite bath/shower would have been welcome/reassuring!

Beautiful listed building and great garden. Ample parking and plenty to do and see nearby. Breakfast had great variety and was prepared as requested on nightly menu. Owners were very personable and understanding of ours needs with our 3-yr old grandson.

No complaints!!!

Lovely place to stay, beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. The hosts Nathan & Kate are super friendly, welcoming and make you feel completely at home. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and they catered for me as a vegan ❤️ Would definitely stay here again.

Always a warm welcome. Great location. Breakfast is really good and sets you up for the day. We've been going back each year and will continue to do so. We would highly recommend Gages Mill as ideal in all respects. Nathan and Kate are perfect hosts.

Very friendly and welcoming, excellent location and good breakfast.

Nothing

Breakfast was great with plenty of choice, lovely friendly hosts who made us feel very welcome.

There was nothing I didn't like.

Kate & Nathan made us very welcome in their lovely home. Our twin room was very clean & the beds very comfortable. Small ensuite was also very clean and shower excellent. Plenty of tea & coffee & biscuits in the room every day with kettle and nice big mugs. Breakfast was also very tasty and consisted of choice of cereal, yoghurt & cooked breakfast, pastries. Although no TV in the bedroom, there is a nice lounge to sit & watch the TV, or read. Ideal location for the moors, Ashburton is close by and a lovely Devon town with a variety of shops, cafes & pubs. We would have no hesitation recommending Gages Mill and would definitely stay there again if holidaying in that area again.

There wasn't anything we didn't like about staying at Gages Mill.

Recommended for Dartmoor and all the coastal bits of the South Hams. Great breakfast choice. Had our best meal out for ages at Emilia's in Ashburton

Nothing

Great breakfast, lovely peaceful rural setting

Approachable and friendly staff who greeted us by going outside to meet us at the car park. The house is an old mill with a lot of history and it's a beautiful building, which has been refurbished and it really nice to stay at. We had everything we needed. The breakfast is ordered on the night before, which is great because we preferred preselecting what we wanted beforehand. It was tasty and filling and lots of options available as well as tea, coffee, juice, milk and cereal. The room has everything we needed: coffee, tea, kettle and some biscuits etc as well as basic toiletries. The house was nice and warm throughout with a termostat in each room to set to your liking. the house is a short walk from a restaurant and a petrol station and a relatively short walk from Ashburton - we enjoyed the walk in nature and seeing the town, but you can also walk up to the river. The bed was good, with two types of pillows available and an option to ask for more. I liked being able to pick soft and hard pillows. Wifi was reliable and if you'd like to watch TV you can do so in the cosy lounge at the front of the house. It felt very cosy but we weren't fussed about TV. Whenever we came down, it was very easy to find the staff, who were always around when we needed. The house was always locked so we felt safe. We stayed for an event in Plymouth - it was an easy drive from Ashburton as it's placed close to the main road and much nicer than staying in the city.

Our stay was short, so we didn't enjoy the surrounding nature as much as we'd want to.

Most considerate of any visitors dietary requirements.

The breakfast was first class.

The shower was too small.

With wonderful hosts like Nathan and Kate, how could you not have a wonderful stay at Gages Mill. They made me feel so welcome, it was an absolute pleasure to talk with them and to enjoy the warm welcome and excellent accomodation. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, it was a total delight to stay with them.

Nothing really, as my daughter explained to me, I will not have huge showers in a country house, having lived in Thailand for 15 years now, I forget that showers are made for at least 4 people to fit in, that would be the only slight issue, small shower.

Breakfast substantial, Kate and Nathan were great hosts and Gages Mill is within a 10 minute walk of Ashburton town centre so an ideal location.

Le petit déjeuner

La chasse de la toilette n'est pas super efficace.

A lovely guest house in the. perfect location

It was a beautiful place to stay with clean and comfortable room and beautiful view from the window. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for us. We highly recommend this place.

Before we arrived, we had greatly-appreciated contact with the owners about access queries. We had a marvellous time at the Mill and can recommend it without hesitation. 😊

Very comfortable home from home feel. Great location for my needs, just a few minutes drive to Ashburton Cookery School and on the edge of Dartmoor for some lovely walks. Ample safe parking and a lovely garden. Short walk into Ashburton. So friendly and lovely, I would definitely stay again.

The hosts were lovely and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. the room was great and the garden excellent. The breakfast was very nice and served in a comfortable surroundings.

Nothing really

Really beautiful building and grounds, friendly and hospitable staff. Comfy bed and spacious bathroom.

We don’t drive so it was a bit out of the way but the hosts were very helpful and even gave us a lift to Ashburton with our things.

Lovely friendly hosts who served very well in every way. Lovely breakfast. Nice garden area to chill.

Kate & Nathan were the warmest hosts, breakfast was fabulous and the location at the entrance to Dartmoor National Park could t be more perfect.

Such friendly staff, always on hand . very clean

Parking was a little sparse - in saying that I did have big vehicle so no points off not a problem for any other vehicles

The staff were friendly, and the grounds were well looked after

There was no TV in the room, this is something that seems to be essential in hotel rooms now especially for families visiting. The breakfast started and finished too early. The shower was ideal where it was situated

Lovely B&B and very convenient for a wedding we were attending nearby. Lovely breakfast and couple running the B&B Nadan honesty bar for a late (or early!) tipple

The setting, breakfast and property décor

A beautiful property with excellent hosts.

Nothing.

Wonderful hosts, great and honest hospitality and tips. Good breakfast as well. The most British place we've stayed in thus far :-)

Some road noise from highway / dual carriageway nearby. Pretty basic amenities.

Zimmer sehr sauber. Nette Gastgeber. Schöner großer Garten. Für Familien mit Kindern zu empfehlen. Direkte Anbindung zur Schnellstraße. Kurzer Weg in den Ort mit vielen Lokalen. Achtung immer Tisch reservieren!

Direkt neben der Schnellstraße (Autobahn) wurde bei Booking com. nicht darauf hingewiesen. Zimmer recht klein und etwas feucht aufgrund des Alters des Gebäudes. Besser Zimmer im ersten Stock nehmen.

The location, the gardens the property itself but most of all the hosts Kate and Nathan. Lovely people who made everyone who stayed there welcome

Nothing to dislike

There was a good choice on the breakfast menu and was extremely good.

Only one thing... the problem with the outside/main door lock. Appreciate this is an old building but having to physically lock the door when going in or out was awkward.

I found Gages Mill delightful. I stayed over a weekend for a family wedding. Location on Dartmoor excellent. Both the room and the informality at Breakfast, which I was able to pre-order the night before, and came speedily and wonderfully to the table. The grounds of the Mill offer fresh air of an evening, and the lamb baaing at me through the fence in the morning was fantasic.

Rustige gelegen klein guesthouse. Prettige hosts. Heerlijk ontbijt.

N.v.t.

Sehr ruhig gelegene Unterkunft. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich. In der Bibliothek finden sich viele Reiseführer und Karten für Unternenehmungren in der Umgebung. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit Wahlmöglichkeiten.

Breakfast was excellent and cooked to order

Location and the warm welcome

Staff response to slightly complicated 'sign-in', and friendly atmoshere.

Lack of TV.

Cosy home at the border of the Dartmoor park. Hosts are wonderful, welcoming and helpful. Rooms and common areas are cosy and beautifully decorated. Good location to explore the area (Dartmoor, Greenway House, Plymouth etc). Bar with cheap drinks. Good breakfasts.

A bit expensive. Our twin room was a bit small. Although it did not bother us to sleep, nose isolation is not the best, and you can hear the other guests in the evening.

We really liked the location and house in very pretty gardens on edge of Ashburton. The hosts were so friendly and helpful with all of our questions (and we had many as thinking of moving to the area!!). We had a very comfortable stay.

A peaceful and charming place to stay. We were comfortable and slept well in the quiet rooms. Had a delicious breakfast served by the kind couple who live and run the Inn. We hope to return.

Beautiful garden, bar, friendly and accommodating owners, good breakfast

Lovely hosts, great location- very close to the main road but couldn't hear a thing inside. Clean and comfortable rooms with a fab breakfast. Great restaurants close by too.

Had the most lovely stay at the Gages Mill and will 100% be coming back next time I'm in Devon. Kate was the best host ever––so accommodating, sweet, funny and gave great recs! The room was so clean and at night it was super quiet. Breakfast was great and it was so nice having the beautiful yard to walk around in afterwards. The location is ideal––you feel like you're in the countryside but you're incredibly close to Ashburton and the moor! I felt so cozy, safe, and at ease during my stay. Thank you SO much Kate!! <3 xoxo

Nothing!

A warm, comfortable and cosy space which was perfectly located for our time on Dartmoor & surrounding towns.

The property and owners were very nice and welcoming, the location was amazing and we will definitely consider returning for a longer stay.

Breakfast could have been more generous for those who were not selecting all the options for an English Fried Breakfast. Bringing a plate with one sausage and one slice of bacon (for someone who didn't want mushroom/beans/egg/tomato/hash brown), or a plate with one half of a bagel and egg (rather than both parts of the bagel) seemed a little odd and slightly disappointing.

Very good breakfast, lovely lounge area, very hospitable hosts, good location and parking; very interesting building and its history

bed a bit on hard side; only one chair in room, no TV in room,

Warm and friendly welcome from the owners. Room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious.

Nothing

A very warm welcome by Kate , followed by personal attentive care by both Kate and Nathan. The breakfasts were just what I wanted and the location good for visiting local sites and events. All in all a excellent experience. Thank you.

This is a difficult question to answer as I don't have any suggestions save for a higher shower pressure!

The owners were a lovely couple. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with a lovely sitting area. The breakfast was really good. There is an honesty bar with very reasonable prices. The Mill was only a short walk from Dartmoor Lodge, which does food for an evening meal. There is plenty of parking.

There is a no pet policy, which didn't bother us at this time as we are between dogs but it is the only thing that would prevent us from booking again in the future.

Great location. Nice room, very friendly welcoming owners. Breakfast was lovely. Would recommend.

Walls are a little thin upstairs. We weren’t disturbed by anyone else but I felt I needed to remind our kids not to make a noise. Luckily they were given the run of the garden to let off steam so it worked out fine.

It was a delightful place to stay with a history of a very old mill set in the country but with an excellent pub 5 minutes by foot. From our window we saw a fox with the sheep who paid no notice. Plenty of places to sit outside and I would definitely recommend it!

The position was excellent for touring the area.Pubs and restaurants were just a few minutes drive away.Breakfasts were tasty and plentiful.Hosts very welcoming.

Very little.

Lockere gastfreundliche Atmosphäre in einem wunderschönen altem Gebäude mit tollem Garten. Nathan und Kate sind wunderbare Gastgeber.

It had everything I needed, great quiset location with wonderful views of the area. I was impressed with how well I was looked after, nothing was too much trouble and I hope to return soon. Breakfast was excellent.

Weather on the first day could have been better.

Beautiful place. Lovely hosts. Great breakfast. Nothing to fault.

Breakfast was excellent. Location central to our needs.

Romantisches gemütliches Ambiente

Downstairs bedroom with close entrance as walking difficult. Close to dining room. Friendly hosts.

All good

Comfortable, friendly, great hosts, accommodated our big group wonderfully

I liked everything .. the owners were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. My room and bathroom were lovely and the views from the windows were wonderful. The breakfast was just what I wanted. The location was perfectly placed for access to towns, sea and moors.

There was nothing that I didn’t like. It was perfect.

De gastheer en gastvrouw, de plek en de hygiëne.

Er viel eigenlijk niets tegen. Behalve misschien dat ik overal moest bukken. Maar wat wil je met 2 meter in een middeleeuws huis.

Very friendly, good location, great breakfast.

The friendly welcome, the individually cooked breakfast, and the quality and cleanliness of the dining area, cutlery and crockery. The comfort of the bed and the availability of the tea/ coffee making facilities. The kindness and thoughtfulness of the owners of the accommodation

Nothingq

It was a lovely breakfast and just a great place to be

It’s an old house so getting into bathroom was a little tight! Pocket door opportunity😂
