Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Bucks Mills

Nestled in a secluded wooded valley overlooking a rocky cove, Bucks Mills holiday cottages are hard to beat for holidays on the North Devon coast. This peaceful village lies on the unspoiled north-facing stretch of coast, which runs from Westward Ho! to the Hartland Peninsula. Unlike much of North Devon’s coast, which is windswept and battered by Atlantic storms, Bucks Mills is a sheltered haven where the sea is usually always calm, and the clifftops are thickly wooded. This tiny community was once the working mill for a nearby manor, powered by the stream which meanders through the valley before cascading over the cliffs in a waterfall which lands on the rocks below.

Wandering down to the beach from your holiday cottage in Bucks Mills, you’ll notice several landmarks, including the former Temperance Hotel, an old lime kiln and St Anne’s Church. The narrow road that runs down to the sea follows the stream and is lined with fine old cottages and beautifully kept gardens. It’s hardly surprising that in such an idyllic coastal location, some are characterful holiday cottages that were once fisherman’s cottages.
