  • "We had an excellent weeks stay at South Wing Cottage."

    The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything you need home from home.The walks from the cottage are beautiful, especially the walk down to the River Tamar. It is an ideal location to explore West Devon and The Dartmoor National Park. Tavistock is a jewel to visit. The amazing and plentiful welcome basket was a really lovely touch from the owners after a long journey. Both of us and our 15 month old yellow Labrador had a wonderful time there. We shall certainly return.

  • "This place is amazing."

    Everything you could possibly need from toiletries to washing powder etc. Kitchen is so equipped. We cooked every night and sat in the peaceful garden with a glass of wine listening to the owls. No negatives at all. The cottage and gardens are immaculate. We fell in love with it and didn't want to leave. The welcome pack was fabulous. Bread, scones, jam, clotted cream, tea, coffee, milk and 2 bottles of wine. Even some lovely dog food, dog dishes and bed for our collie. Thoroughly recommend!

About the location

BERE ALSTON

Tavistock 6 miles; Plymouth 12 miles.

Bere Alston is a small Devon village in a beautiful location between the rivers Tavy and Tamar, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village was once a thriving port shipping tin from Dartmoor. Just upstream from Bere Alston on the river Tamar is Morwellam Quay, a tiny harbour where half the world’s copper travelled through in the 1860s, and which is now a popular visitor attraction telling the story of copper mining through history. Trains run between Bere Alston and Plymouth, on the picturesque Tamar Valley line, following the river for much of the route. Bere Alston has a village shop and pub and there are plenty of stunning countryside walks. Two National Trust properties in the area are Cotehele, a Tudor manor house and glorious gardens stretching down to the river Tamar and Buckland Abbey, an estate on the river Tavy with craft workshops and family attractions.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
