Welcome To Chawleigh Week Mill Luxury Holiday Cottage & Lodges in Devon
The first of its kind, Chawleigh Week Mill Farm is made up of a variety of old farm buildings which have been lovingly restored and sympathetically updated to include a beautiful farmhouse, a large inside bar and external covered BBQ area to accommodate you and your family for a luxury holiday is Devon. We are also pleased to offer the opportunity to stay in the unique and stunning Copper Lodge. This unusual build is entirely hand built by local craftsmen from trees blown down in Gidleigh Woods on Dartmoor, during Storm Eunice on 18th February 2023.
The property is situated in the beautiful Taw Valley with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and sits on approximately ten acres of land, with access to approximately half a mile of fly fishing rights. You can relax in one of the hot tubs, which enjoy magnificent views over the property and the surrounding area, explore the surrounding towns and villages, you can fly fish the river or simply sit on the bank enjoying the peace and quiet along with spotting the very varied wildlife that lives on the estate.

Fishing Holidays In Devon
Brown Trout, Sea Trout & Salmon
At Chawleigh Week Mill we offer a fantastic variety of fly fishing opportunities along our stretch of river. The river is fed by a spring originating on Dartmoor, which means we have resident brown trout all year and if we have periods of heavy rain you will also find salmon moving through the river when the water levels are at their highest.
We are also able to advise on local facilities for driven pheasant and partridge shoots on several nearby estates which are among the best in the UK, please drop us an email for more details.
