About The Wheel Room

The Wheel Room is a romantic, dog-friendly holiday cottage for two, set within the historic Old Mill on the peaceful Millbrook Estate in North Devon. This luxury ground-floor retreat is full of character, with original stonework, a king-size bed, a walk-in shower, and a cosy living space featuring an electric wood burner and reclining leather sofa. Open French doors to the gardens and woodlands beyond—ideal for dogs to roam and couples to unwind. A well-equipped kitchen includes high-end appliances, granite worktops, and thoughtful extras for self-catering comfort. With five-star touches throughout, The Wheel Room is the perfect escape for couples and their four-legged companions and is within walking distance of the dog-friendly Golden Lion pub in High Bickington.

Located in the quiet village of High Bickington, the Millbrook Estate boasts far-reaching views over the Taw Valley towards Exmoor National Park. Begin your mornings with birdsong and end the day gazing up at gloriously bright stars. Make the most of staying within 32 acres by fishing in one of two lakes, walking beside meandering streams, through meadows, or under a leafy canopy. Local highlights include dog-friendly pubs, the village shop, and Libbaton Golf Club, all just a short distance away. Saunton, Croyde, and Instow beaches are within easy reach—ideal for sandy paws and sunset strolls. North Devon is packed with places to explore together, with or without a lead.

Spend a lazy afternoon at RHS Garden Rosemoor or head off on a woodland walk with an alpaca at Woolley Animals. Try paddleboarding, coasteering or a sea safari from Ilfracombe, or discover historic towns like South Molton and Barnstaple for a cream tea or farmers’ market. Whether you’re planning a romantic break, celebrating a special occasion or just looking to reconnect somewhere peaceful, The Wheel Room offers five-star self-catering for couples and their furry family members.

Accommodation Comprises:

The Wheel Room's name reflects its crucial role in the functioning of The Old Mill. Now a sophisticated haven, the owners have done a fantastic job of retaining its heritage charm while providing contemporary comfort.

  • Stretch out on the reclining three-seater sofa or snuggle up in a Laura Ashley armchair in the inviting lounge where entertainment comes in the form of a Samsung 55" Interactive 4K LCD TV, a Blu-ray player, and an Amazon Echo Show with an Amazon Music account. The electric woodburner gives the charm of an open fire without any of the mess, and French doors open straight into the garden.
  • The Wheel Room's kitchen packs a culinary punch. Although you might only be cooking for two, you'll be doing so in style, with high-quality appliances and touches like Emma Bridgewater crockery elevating the cottage into the 5-star realm.
  • You'll enjoy gorgeous views of the estate grounds from your spacious bedroom. The king-sized bed is dressed with Egyptian cotton linen, and there are robes provided for your comfort.
  • Extending from the bedroom, the ensuite bathroom features stone travertine tiles, a heated mirror, heated towel rail, and a rainfall shower.

Outside: As guests of The Wheel Room, you and your pets will have access to 32 acres of grounds that include lovingly tended gardens, tranquil woodlands, two fishing lakes, meadows, and meandering streams. There is a wood-fired sauna and a hot tub tucked away in the woods, and parking includes access to an EV charger.

Additional Information: Utilities, WiFi, bed linen and bath towels are included. Two dogs are welcome by arrangement. The owner offers optional extras like elopement ceremonies, a Prosecco Package and a breakfast hamper. Smoking is not permitted.
