This 15th-century former mill is set on the banks of Devon's River Teign and boasts a 2-AA-Rosette restaurant
It's on the edge of Dartmoor National Park and has plenty of scenic walking routes nearby
Alastair Sawday's Special Placesto Stay describes it as "a country-house hotel wrapped up in Dartmoor's northern hills where dogs are welcome, the food is delicious, and the walking is divine"
Mill End Hotel is a "secluded country house hideaway" (The AA Hotel Guide 2018) on the banks of the River Teign in rugged Dartmoor National Park.
The hotel is housed in a 15th-century former mill building that boasts a restored 18-foot waterwheel that's powered by an aqueduct on Dartmoor.
The 2-AA-Rosette restaurant uses fish from the Cornish coast and locally reared Devonshire meat. All bottled water is produced in house, using a 7-stage filtration and purification system. Breakfast includes a continental buffet and hot dishes cooked to order.
The small bar is a nice spot for pre-dinner drinks, or you can sample a traditional Devonshire cream tea in the gardens or in one of the lounges.
Keen anglers can fish (supplements apply) the hotel's private stretch of the River Teign. Well-behaved dogs are allowed in some rooms for an extra £8 per dog, per night (check with the hotel in advance). Rooms are split between the main house and the annex.

Other Comments
Property is in need of TLC except for the restaurant area. However our room was very disappointing as we arrived to find loads of flies (appx 40) inside the windows and managed to get them out only to find the bathroom also had this problem but to a lesser extent. We did notice two dead flies on the carpet which we left and they were still there 2 days later when we departed. The lack of a proper bar area as well was a disappointment. Also it was difficult to get to the cupboard which housed the bar as there was a dining table for 2 immediately opposite which was very inconvenient as a couple were having their evening meal.
All together very poor

Did ask for a specific room offering to pay extra and assured by staff that this had been noted but when we got there this did not happen and we were given a different room which was at the top of the hotel. Although the room was nice the bath was in the room which l did not like and it was very noisy in the night due to pipes banging so did not sleep very well at all. Also you do need to like dogs to stay at this hotel as it is dog friendly but you can ask for a dog free room which they will provide.

The hotel is dog friendly. This is a plus for dog owners and did not bother us too much, though there were (perhaps inevitably) a few dog hairs on the bedding - probably via a faux fur throw that wouldn't have been laundered.

This was excellent value for money. We were lucky to have booked when the hotel was offering a taster menu. This was probably one of the finest meals we have eaten in a hotel of this price, far exceeding similar dining experience at a Michelin starred restaurant not far away. The staff throughout the hotel were superb. The room was good size but showing some signs that it was the end of the season however it was clean and well presented and we were more than happy.

The room. We specifically asked for a dog friendly room. We ended up in the eaves. Several flights up. Not convenient. Noisy plumbing. Too hot. Bathroom needs a refit. Got woken up at 6am by crashing bottles being tipped into a recycling lorry. Room was swarming in flies. They were coming from outside under the eaves.
