Perched on the edge of the river Tamar, 8 miles south of Gunnislake, this remarkable property is a perfect base for your South West getaway. Enjoy a dip in the indoor heated pool or treat yourself to a massage. From the shared garden of this beautiful detached rural retreat, there are stunning views across the Tamar River into Cornwall. The traditional village of Yelverton lies 16 miles to the east, marking the southwestern edge of Dartmoor and the picturesque Morwelham Quay is 6 miles to the north.
The cottage’s open-plan design is a joy, with everything where you’d expect it to be. Rustic charm blends beautifully with modern touches, metal with wood, ceramic with mid-century fabric. The lounge area is a luminous space, with modest decor creating a homely feel. The bedrooms and bathroom echo this essential comfort, bringing harmony to the house. Outside there’s a south-facing decked area at the front, and at the rear there’s a lawn with patio, seating and a BBQ for al-fresco refreshments. The shared indoor heated pool, massage room and summer kitchen are 50 yards away.
The city of Plymouth is 15 miles to the south and an abundance of great country walks and cycle paths are on your doorstep. Children and families will love Pennywell Farm at Buckfastleigh (32 miles), the South-West’s largest farm attraction. The National Trust’s Buckland Abbey is just 5 miles away, with regular events and exhibitions. See big cats at the Dartmoor Zoological Park (17 miles), or enjoy Yelverton’s independent shops and pubs. The dazzling Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre is well worth a visit, 18 miles to the north. These places and so many more are waiting.
