Information about the host

Bow Mill Farm, formally part of Sharpham Estate, is a discrete boutique bed and breakfast set in one of the most beautiful valleys in the South Hams. With parts of the original structure dating back to 1825, the property has since been sympathetically enhanced to provide a large country house that offers guests a tranquil, comfortable and quality experience. Inside the property, Asian, Middle Eastern and contemporary art and furnishings blend seamlessly in our two luxury en-suite bedrooms, that boast 400 thread count Egyptian cotton bed linen, pure wool hypoallergenic duvets and pillows, thermostatic drench showers and soft fluffy towels. Imagine combining these factors with organic refreshments, healthy yet hearty breakfasts and fine tableware. Surrounded by an extensive range of trees, shrubs and flowers, the Southern elevation of the property shares 250m of the River Harbourne with pheasants, squirrels, cormorants, brown trout and the occasional kingfisher, whilst three interconnecting paddocks and a wooded area to the North side provide picturesque views across the valley, as well as a perfect spot to walk, picnic or relax in a peaceful, yet perfect natural environment.

We have recently returned to the South Hams having spent nearly 20 years living overseas. We are enjoying immensely the fun of offering bespoke luxury bed and breakfast in our pretty waterside home and are very much looking forward to welcoming guests to a warm ambiance and unique experience where they can relax in our country retreat. We love social interaction and are keen to provide a high level of hospitality to our guests so they benefit from a wonderful stay in the South Hams, with the help of our local knowledge. We enjoy our garden and extensive grounds and being keen walkers and nature lovers, we are keen to explore the surrounding countryside, in the hope of spotting birds and local wildlife.

If guests can tear themselves away from the house, nearby they will find the Sharpham Estate offering walks around the vineyard, wine tasting and a wonderful farm shop. Whilst Totnes, a stunning medieval town, full of wonderful eateries, art galleries and boutique shops is less than three miles away. Salcombe and Dartmouth, a not to be missed location for sailing enthusiasts and those who love idyllic waterside settings, can be found within a short drive. Similarly, the rugged South Hams coastline offers numerous beaches, National Trust properties and the fabulous South West Coastal Path, all within the rich smuggling heritage. If the coast is not for you, then explore the rugged hills of the Dartmoor National Park, visiting the cultural moorland villages of Chagford, Widecombe and Ashburton. After a busy day exploring these beautiful areas, why not enjoy delicious food and sip cocktails in one of the local waterside pubs in Bow Creek, just a short stroll from Bow Mill Farm. Alternatively, build up an appetite and enjoy craft ales and fine food in the atmospheric Durant Arms, located in the quintessentially English Ashprington village, less than half a mile away.
