Welcome to Headweir Mill House

Welcome to Headweir Mill House, on the banks of the river Exe in the cathedral city of Exeter. Newly converted, the original mill house is over 200 years old, and now elegantly combines contemporary styling with character features in a riverside setting close to the centre of Exeter.

The 11 luxuriously appointed guest rooms have all the facilities expected by 21st century customers in a relaxed setting. Spread across four floors, eight rooms have views from the rear of the building across the garden to the river Exe, and three rooms at the front of the building look across the small private car park

A riverside garden connecting with the Mill on the Exe public house garden is due to open later in 2017.

Flood Defence Works
A new flood screen to protect Headweir Mill House and the neighbouring residential properties from flooding is currently being installed. This essential work is part of the £32 million Exeter flood defence scheme being undertaken by the Environment Agency.
This work will continue into the Summer of 2018 and has required the draining of the millrace immediately outside the property. Heavy machinery may be working in the millrace during the hours of 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday. We apologise for any inconvenience, but these works are completely beyond our control and will impact on the views from the river-facing rooms.
Rest assured, the interiors of Headweir Mill House remains as beautiful as ever! If you would like further advice or information, our friendly team on reception will be happy to help.

History of the Mill

The Mill on the Exe was a paper mill until the 1960s, and the original water wheel used to turn the machinery is now a feature in the pub’s gardens. The old mill was converted into a pub, which has been owned by St Austell Brewery since 1994.

The Mill on the Exe occupies part of a former paper mill sited just below Blackaller Weir. There had been a fulling mill for processing wool from at least the middle of the 16th century on this spot. It was let in 1787 for milling corn and then in 1798, paper was made on the premises.
