What the Papers Say

Here are some of the reviews that have been written about us in the papers.

"Indisputably good value in a countryside setting. ...places that offer great food with the minimum of fancy, paid-for frills are my idea of perfection these days. And Otterton Mill is certainly one of them....We watched the romantic old mill waterwheel,...browsed the art and food shops and gazed at the free-range chickens...Then after lunch we went for a good walk...along the River Otter. In all, we were there for hours, enjoying a proper day out in the beautiful countryside.....What a lovely meal - and a great family day out, too."

"My favourite 'secret' places to eat include the grand colonial house of Orestone Manor, which is hidden in the woods near Torquay, the impossible-to-find Nobody Inn at Doddiscombsleigh near Exeter, and the little cafe at Otterton Mill in the trees alongside the River Otter near Budleigh Salterton."

 "This venue is in an old working mill by the River Otter in a stunning valley in Devon. The mill houses a bakery, a shop selling local produce, a restaurant and a gallery. But most importantly, it's a classy roots venue, featuring folk, blues, jazz, country and Americana usually on Thursday nights."

"A 1,000-year-old working watermill with a bakery, restaurant and shop on site. It hand-makes 20 types of bread and 30 kinds of cake, mills its own flour and uses organic ingredients whenever possible. Current hot picks: the apple cake made with local cider and the rich fruit cake made with the local O'Hanlon port stout."
