About this property
Within two acres of National Heritage Site woodland about a mile from Gulworthy is this secluded little single-storey cottage. Magically surrounded by a woodland garden, it is a very special place for couples to enjoy a romantic break. A few steps lead you up into the open plan living space, once a place for miners to dry their clothes and now a comfy and lovely room with beams and cosy wood burning stove in the inglenook. The en suite double bedroom is a romantic place for peaceful nights in this private setting. Enjoy outdoor suppers around the barbecue in the garden and you may hear the nightjar or spot shy deer around you. With the Tamar Trails on your doorstep, head out with the map provided for long walks or cycle rides. Or why not pick up a paddle and join the canoe expeditions on the interesting River Tamar? The National Trust houses of Cotehele and Buckland Abbey are fascinating to visit, as is historic Morwellham Quay. The nearby Horn of Plenty restaurant is renowned or maybe eat out in the old market town of Tavistock or the bustling city of Plymouth. Miners Dry is a fabulous place for chilling out or enjoying quality time with your nearest and dearest.
A delightful award-winning market town on the River Tavy, nestling in the south-west slopes of Dartmoor. Tavistock has an indoor pannier market, a diverse range of shops, an excellent choice of pubs, bistros, restaurants, a theatre and a cinema, as well as a leisure pool

Plenty of Dartmoor walks and reservoirs to walk around but the busy town of Tavistock to spend a day browsing its many shops, statues, churches, river walks and much much more.

We personally didn't find the sofa very comfy that could be just us. The bed was nice and comfy. There is a lot of black mould in all the corners of this property and this bothers my chest due to health issues if I had seen this in reviews we wouldn't of booked, maybe it's due to all the wet weather but it needs attention. Toilet seat was quite dusty and sticky at the back and Toilet brush holder was full of old dirty water. The garden isn't fully inclosed as we thought but our girls are not wonder's but worth mentioning. The TV sound has gone funny i think the speakers are gone. It's was a shame because this property is delightful and in a fantastic area We made the most of our time in miners dry and we did enjoy the area very much.

The cottage was spotless as usual and the afternoon tea provided was delicious. We have been coming for years now as the cottage is our peaceful place. Beautiful location with walks from the doorstep. This year we couldnât get subtitles on the television ( I need them to follow a program) and the owner changed the television within the hour
