Spring Cottage

This tucked-away Grade II listed cottage for 2 is close to the River Tamar, with views over the valley to Dartmoor in the distance. A tranquil and comfortable base for exploring Cornwall and West Devon, you are spoilt for National Trust properties, open gardens, country pubs,excellent restaurants, fabulous walks and numerous activities (game and coarse fishing, riding, golf etc) all within 30 minutes' drive.

Thought to have been built as a thatched medieval hall house, Spring Cottage's comfortable and newly-refurbished interior is reached from the garden and parking area through a low door (please mind your head) leading into the large sitting/dining room with kitchen at the far end. A steep winding staircase takes you to the huge bedroom with vaulted A-frame ceiling and en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. Outside and overlooking the gently sloping lawn, there's a pond and spring-fed stream, while on the sheltered terrace you'll find comfortable furniture for lazing and a bbq for al-fresco meals.

The local shop/Post Office,just over 2 miles away, stocks a large range of local produce,while the Royal Oak pub down by the river offers superb, locally produced meals. An optional luxury breakfast hamper can be delivered to you each morning with a basket of home-baked rolls, yoghurt, fruit compote, granola, jam, marmalade, free-range eggs and local apple juice to enjoy at your leisure.
