The cottage
Situated on the Honicombe Manor resort in over 20 acres of glorious countryside on the Cornwall/Devon border, is 25 Tamar Cottage.
Positioned just 3 miles inland from the pretty riverside village of Calstock in the glorious Tamar Valley, this reverse-level accommodation offers the ideal break for families and friends.
Set over two floors, this modern abode takes advantage of the views from the bright and airy open-plan living room on the first floor, which can further be enjoyed from the balcony.
The dual aspect windows allow lots of natural light into the space and soft furnishings, together with TV, DVD player and a selection of books and games ensure you can enjoy some quality time with your loved ones.
Home-cooked meals can be prepared in the modern kitchen and there is a dining table for you to get together and catch up over a delicious feast.
There are four bedrooms for you to retire to at the end of the evening; two doubles and two twins, followed by the sleek family bathroom.
Within a short walk from the cottage are the resort's leisure facilities, for which passes are provided by the owner, with both indoor and outdoor swimming pools as well as a gym and tennis courts.
For the young ones a playground is set right opposite and overlooked by the cottage, making the location perfect for families.
With all the on-site activities and walking and cycling trails right from the door, there will always be so much to do here.
The many nearby villages are well worth visiting such as Calstock home to the notable viaduct, as is the beautiful National Trust house Cotehele.
A relaxing holiday home in a good touring location with excellent facilities.
About the location
GUNNISLAKE
Tavistock 5 miles; Plymouth 18 miles.
The small rural village of Gunnislake lies on the steeply wooded banks of the River Tamar. It has village pubs and a small selection of shops. Notably, the village sits at one end of the scenic Tamar Valley Railway - with regular services along the river bank to Plymouth. The area is perfect for exploring Dartmoor, the south and north coast beaches and the attractions of Cornwall’s far west. Close to hand, the Dartmoor town of Tavistock with its pannier market, pubs and restaurants is a must, as well as the popular fishing village of Calstock, renowned for its crafts and festivals, while the Donkey Sanctuary and Cotehele House and Gardens (NT) are just 10 minutes away. Enjoy a round of golf at St Mellion (8 miles), explore the restored Victorian mining village at Morwellham Quay (4 miles), search for otters and deer along the Tamar Valley footpath, visit the National Trust owned Lydford Gorge, or take a trip to the beach and picturesque harbour at Looe (25 miles) - there’s something for everyone. For something really different, why not ride the scenic Tamar Valley Railway into Plymouth and spend the day in the fabulous Marine Aquarium or strolling the historic Plymouth Hoe?
