The place
With room for six, you’ve got space for the whole family at Flete Mill Cottage – and of course, the dog. Tucked out of the way, you’ve got this cottage all to yourselves, with a large, enclosed garden to let the dog loose for exploratory sniffs around the perimeter. As if this weren’t enough, there’s the larger Flete estate to explore, with miles of private tracks to wander, along estuary and even all the way to a private beach, all with the dog alongside. You can even access the private path from your front door! Whip up local delights in the stylish, modern cottage-style kitchen, and serve at either the dining table or the outdoor table if the sun’s out. That is if you’re not making use of the local dog-friendly restaurants. After a long day of exploring, take a stroll in the Mothecombe gardens or treat yourself to ice cream from Surfing Cow ice cream!
