Nestled in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this cottage in the country offers an idyllic base for a holiday with your family, or for two. The property is decorated in cool, calming tones to help you truly relax, plus, the pretty garden provides a place to soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding area whilst the sun is shining. Active adventurers will love the array of walking routes, from the serene setting along the River Tamar to the myth and legend of Dartmoor National Park.

With a neutral colour palette and two sumptuous sofas, the living room invites you to kick back and unwind, be it with a good book in hand, or over a board game on the coffee table. Next door, the pastel-hued kitchen is sure to get your creative juices flowing at mealtimes, with a rustic style and beautiful beams across the ceiling. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be eaten in the charming conservatory where far-reaching views of the Tamar Estuary can be seen out of all the windows as you sit up at the wooden table. Take the staircase up to the first floor and you’ll find two bright bedrooms sharing the use of the characterful bathroom which features both a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower. Bedroom one is furnished with a comfortable double bed, whilst bedroom two is a tasteful twin, perfect for children. Step outside and you’ll be in awe at the scenery, with a lush green lawn, mature flowerbeds and a private decked area where you can sip your morning coffee and enjoy the sounds of nature.

With the vast moorland of Dartmoor (7 miles) to explore, you’ll find a whole host of activities, from wild swimming and the mysterious walk in Wistman’s Woods (16 miles), to stand-up paddleboarding and waterfall watching. For a taste of life in the Ocean City, visit Plymouth (14 miles) for a swim at the Lido, to find an array of eateries and to explore the Hoe. Alternatively, make for the coast and spend a day on the beach of Whitsand Bay (16 miles) to delve into rock pools to take a dip in the clear blue waters.

Exceptional views of the river Tamar from the cottage, not your average view from a holiday cottage.

We had a wonderful warm welcome and found the cottage very homely and tastefully decorated and furnished with attractive ornaments and pictures which had clearly been chosen with a lot of thought in keeping with the style and location of the property. The property was very well equipped with many items required for self catering such as cooking uteRead morensils, oil, even tea and coffee and other things that you wouldn't necessarily expect to find but which were very useful and much appreciated - such a boxes of tissues in several rooms. It was like a home from home and we will certainly miss the wonderful views. Our lifetime favourite cottage! Hide

A beautiful rural location with a fabulous view over the Tamar estuary. We had a wonderful relaxing week, lovely local walks if you dont mind hills. The cottage was delightful a real home from home and the housekeeper Christine was very attentive and helpful with recommendations on where to visit etc. We are already looking at dates for next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tanglewood Cottage. The garden is beautiful, secluded, kept in immaculate condition and the view to the river is just perfect. On overcast and rainy days the sunroom is a real bonus and we used it every day to enjoy our meals with those great views. The cottage offers all modern comforts while being very cosy and fRead moreurnished / decorated to a high standard. The location is very secluded and perfectly quiet. Nevertheless it's only a short 15 minutes drive to Tavistock to allow access to all major conviniences. Also it's in a very central location to either visit Dartmoor, the coast and plenty of amazing sites in the area. We certainly would love to come back to enjoy this fabulous cottage again and explore the surrounding area even more. Finally a big thank you to the caretaker and house owner who were very friendly and helpful. Hide

I enjoyed my stay at the cottage very much indeed although the weather was horrible. In view of the weather, I was fortunate that I was staying in such a comfortable cottage.
