Our Cayuga ducks have been a real hit with customers - they are stunning with their iridescent black, blue and green plumage. What's more, their eggs. Pig ark constructed - eight hours not the two it says on the instructions - paddock fenced, feed stored in bins, trough procured (thanks Dave) just.Millslade really is an impressive building, sitting in its large all round expanse of grass with a silver birch of particularly pleasing shape softening the lines. Something was nagging and it really should have been obvious, but it was only midway through a fairly unproductive lesson that it came to me: money.
Services
The village of Brendon is located in North Devon between the towns of Porlock and Lynton within the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Just a few metres from Millslade runs the East Lyn river as it makes its journey down the Doone Valley to Lynmouth. Brendon is ideally situated to explore all that Exmoor, North Devon and West Somerset have to offer.
We pride ourselves on our food, only using the best that Exmoor has to offer. All our ingredients are locally sourced and we have a range of breakfasts to satisfy everyone's taste. Whether it be meat from award winning butchers Stuart Lowen or fish from John, Richard and Wendy at Blakewell fisheries, we insist on the best. In addition to our breakfast menu, we often have daily specials.
We have two king size bed rooms both with a shower and bath en suite, one of which has a day bed which can be converted into two single beds, thus sleeping a family of four. We also have a twin room the beds of which can combine to make a super king bed with an en suite shower. Our standard double room with en suite shower, also works well for one person.
We feel it is important to provide our guests with exactly what they want, whether it be a bath or a shower, twin or double, any dietary requirements or even a suggested itinerary. Therefore, our preferred method of booking is either by telephone or email so we can assure your stay is just as you want it.

Fantastic place to stay. Anna & Simon couldn't be more welcoming & accomodating. The accommodation is modern and luxurious and the breakfasts are superb. We've been coming to the area for more than 50 years (I came as a child and in turn have brought my children) - six of those years have been staying at Millslade house and we'll be staying again in 2022 - We've tried the rest but now We've tried the best!
It's setting is the beautiful area of Brendon Valley which makes it great for walks along the River Lynn (all the way to Watersmeet if you wish) and on Exmoor. It's only a few miles from the seaside town of Lynmouth and also the town of Lynton. Couldn't recommend this beautiful place and hosts more. My brother and I call it our Happy Place

Millslade Country House is a special place, run by special people: Anna & Simon. This was a first family outing for our family of four (2 adults, 2 children of ages 4 and 1 years old) From the moment we booked to the time that we left, everything was perfect. Communication leading up to our stay, to arriving, both Anna and Simon were brilliant in meeting our requests.
The location is special, set in the beautiful valley of Brendon - word of warning, if you want convenient local shops, I'd suggest Lynton as the closest place with amenities. The roads leading up to Millslade are quite narrow - beware! Walking into the property, Chickens, ducks and sheep roam free as well as the super-friendly Lola, the dog: which our children loved! Anna welcomed us and couldn't do anymore for us.
The room was super clean, luxurious and really relaxing (we had room 4) Beautifully decorated and a en-suite that oozed class made us all feel very spoilt. Breakfast was so delicious using local produce and was consistently excellent everyday. Do take advantage of Simon's terrific cooked evening meals too if you get a chance, as they were equally as good as breakfast.
Our daughter has quite a lot of allergies, but Simon was more than happy to meet our exacting demands with no fuss. Accommodation in the area is typically pricey (we visited during the height of summer holidays) but we found that the setting, welcome and food made this great value and would whole-heartedly recommend this to anyone looking for accommodation in the area.
It's worth noting that Anna and Simon make this place very unique. After our visit, we visiting and pricey hotel in the Cotswold (this was for a 'luxurious' end to our staycation) In stark contrast to Millslade, this ended up being rather disappointing and in hind-sight, we would've stayed at Millslade for longer instead. Maybe next time! Boa

What a beautiful place Millslade is! Anna & Simon are superb hosts who have invested an enormous amount of time, effort and not to mention money in developing their lovely Country House. The quality of the rooms and house is absolutely amazing. Lovely village and setting.one not to be missed! Thank you, Paul & Jane.

I don't usually write reviews but. What a stunning example of a country bed and breakfast. From the classy decor.particularly the bathroom to the home cooked breakfasts. I honestly can't find fault with this place. An absolute pleasure to stay and we will be back. Try the chorizo jam for breakfast its amazing! THANK YOU to Anna and Simon for making it such a pleasurable stay.

Lovely recently decorated rooms in a spacious house, with visitor lounge and large en suite. Breakfasts are very tasty and can be a little different. First time I have had bubble and squeak for breakfast! Brendon a pretty north Devon village, with an excellent pub, The Staghunters, a short stroll away. Thoroughly recommended.
