Fishing at Park Mill Farm

"This is an accommodating little river in a lovely Devon valley where time really does seem to stand still."
Mike Weaver, Trout And Salmon magazine, Feb. 2009.

There are two rivers (The Little Dart and The Huntacott) running through the property and a private fishing lake where guests can enjoy free fly and coarse fishing and catch Brown Trout, Rudd, Chubb, Roach and Carp.  There is a small charge for fishing in the rivers where salmon and trout can be caught.

On site at Park Mill Farm

The Park Mill Farm cottages are situated in a magical riverside setting, less than a mile from Chulmleigh centre, with 20 acres of lush fields, woods and parkland where you are free to roam along with the abundant wildlife.  From the viewing area on top of the hill with bench, to the river and lakeside areas, there is plenty to explore and find a perfect picnic spot.  There are benches throughout the site.

There is a communal barbecue area with tools provided, a summer house with books, DVD’s area information, a payphone and even wellies!

Please note: For larger groups, the cottage can be booked together with the adjacent barns. There is one travel cot and high chair shared between the five Mill Park Farm properties.
