  • "It's a beautiful rural area, with plenty of local amenities nearby should you not find what you need in the on-site shop."

    The site owners are local, friendly and are clearly dedicated to making your stay an enjoyable one, being more than happy to offer suggestions and advice about the area and are very happy to help in any way they can. We were made to feel very welcome and considered from the moment we arrived and we left wishing we'd booked at least another day, if only to have had the opportunity to try out the archery lessons they have on-site, but certainly to enjoy the cottage another day. We stayed in The Coach House cottage and, I have to say, the under floor heating system throughout the place was very much appreciated as it not only meant no cold feet, it really helped to create a cosy atmosphere in every room. Had it not been a bit too warm for it when we stayed, we would have definitely also made use of the gorgeous woodburner and supplied starter kit to add to the skillfully crafted ambience the owners have created within this gem of a holiday home. The beds and bedding are all great quality, making for a wonderful night's sleep. I especially appreciated the large, well-stuffed pillows. The attractive bathroom has a handy motion-sensor light and the shower is easy to use, has very good coverage and decent pressure. Toilet rolls, shampoos and hand soaps were all graciously included! Sitting down in the evenings to watch a movie, the sofas were welcomingly comfortable and relaxing and I had to stop myself dozing off on them more than once. Although, the lighting in the main area is on two dimmer switches, one for the lounge area and one for the kitchen, so it was likely my fault for making the place TOO cosy playing around with those! As for amenities in the cottage, there was everything cutlery & crockery-wise needed to cook yourself or your family a proper meal plus more to make sure you're truly catered for. We were even treated to a cream tea of scones and local top-quality clotted cream with a jar of jam waiting for us on the kitchen table upon arrival, which was a pleasant and appreciated surprise after a long drive. The cottage has basic essentials like the things you'd usually forget to bring such as condiments, tea & coffee, washing up liquid and such, but there's thought gone into what's there for use and you'll find handy extras and other things you thought you didn't need but did, thanks to the owners who are clearly well-suited to the hospitality industry! All in all, we very much enjoyed our short stay so we will more than likely be returning the next time we're in Devon. If the Coach House is unavaliable we may even try the camp site instead!

Where you’ll be staying

Gulworthy

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. 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?
