An abundance of space both inside and out invites two guests to enjoy some serious R&R on the edge of the Cornwall-Devon border. This impressive cottage has been lovingly maintained with traditional styling and comfortable furnishings, creating a wonderful abode to return home to after long days of exploring the West Country walking territory that surrounds it. While two guests are welcome to stay here and enjoy the endless amounts of space, you can also visit this property as a four and make use of additional Z-beds in the super-king-size bedroom, an ideal property modification for families of four with two younger children.

On arrival, stop to take in the magnificent sights of the beautiful garden and the property’s namesake fountain. This large grassy garden is a joy to behold in the summer months, complete with a furnished patio for outdoor dining. Through transitional weather seasons, enjoy the sights of the garden and the warmth of the house whilst unwinding in the conservatory. Venturing further indoors, the property is split into a lounge/kitchen/diner on the ground floor and the capacious bedroom up one flight of stairs. Also on the ground floor, a bathroom with a sumptuous double whirlpool bath is an appealing feature after long days of hiking or bike riding.

Benefiting from peaceful surroundings, this property is located in a quiet village locale with a country pub just metres away, the perfect end destination to any nearby countryside walk. You’re welcome to explore the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your doorstep each day, with the River Tamar 2 miles away offering an easy-to-follow route through the ever-changing landscapes. Walk to the picturesque village of Calstock (3 miles) and get stuck into some bird watching at Calstock Wetland on the river’s edge or visit Calstock Arts community centre with a gallery bar and regular music events.

The cottage is beautiful. The lovely owners, Chris and Angela, allow exclusive use of their large, gorgeous garden. They are so welcoming and friendly. The comfortable bed, made by Chris, provides a great night's sleep. The conservatory is a delight. Beware the narrow Cornwall roads, but there are plenty of great places to visit. We hope to return.

A spacious and practical 1 bed barn conversion, ideal if you want to get away from it and relax. The barn faces the large lawn garden and being at the bottom end of the village is nice and quiet. The conservatory attached to the barn is a welcome addition and is a great place to relax on an evening.
