About this property

1, River Cottage is a smart attached cottage on three levels with lovely, long, elevated views up and down river, conveniently situated in the hub of Calstock's village life. Just right for family holidays or a quiet spot for couples. From a central hall you step in to the cosy, comfy living room which has a wood-burning stove, opposite is the bright, modern kitchen/dining room with a door to the courtyard. At this level there is a utility room and WC. Head up the stairs to two bedrooms: a king-size zip-linked double and a single bedroom with doors to a roof terrace with table and chairs for al fresco meals. Family bathroom. More stairs up to the master double bedroom with en suite shower-room and doors to a little balcony with superb panoramic views just perfect for those sundowners. At the side is an enclosed courtyard with BBQ and at the front, a sunny little paved area with a bench looking over the green to the river. A picturesque and convenient spot for observing and enjoying village and river activity. Lovely walks from the village with footpath to Cotehele House (National Trust), 1 mile. Fun canoeing expeditions. Once a thriving mining valley, now a World Heritage Site dominated by birdsong.

Calstock is a village in Cornwall, although it stands on the meandering River Tamar close to the Devon border and is dominated by the spectacular Calstock Viaduct, a giant 11-arched structure that still carries the railway line above the River Tamar along the picturesque branch line down to Plymouth. Calstock has been an important quay for centuries, transporting tin, copper and granite out of this important mining area downstream to Plymouth Docks. Today Calstock is a quiet village with a vibrant arts centre attracting musicians and artists from around Cornwall. A mile downstream brings you to Cotehele, a well-preserved medieval National Trust house with glorious gardens sweeping down to the River Tamar. Upstream from Calstock is Morwellham Quay, another important river port and now a living history tourist attraction where visitors can explore a copper mine by taking a train deep underground, admire the working Victorian farm or just quietly enjoy the beautiful Tamar Valley wildlife.

    However very badly let down by - No washing up sponges / scourer pads in kitchen , No broom to sweep kitchen floor , No oven trays for pizza etc , Heating almost useless - house was cold and damp and NOT cozy , Very damp musty smell in lounge which badly affected asthma sufferer with bad chest and sinus issues. Needs a bit of TLC - the rear gutters are blocked up which is probably what's causing the damp musty smell in the lounge.

    I would only comment that on arrival I was desperate for the toilet and there wasn't any toilet roll in the downstairs WC. My husband had to check the other bathrooms to locate some. We ended up purchasing some to put in there. I am an early to bed, early to rise person but the cottage was very noisy in the evenings into the early hours with revelry in the community centre next door. It is for this reason only that we are unlikely to stay again. If you are into that lifestyle then this is the perfect place to stay.

    Had a great stay at the cottage the pub and the club were a little bit noisier than we had anticipated till 2 o’clock in the morning but this was just the Saturday and Friday after the weekend All was quiet in the evening we had expected some noise as we were so close to both of these venues so not really a problem great location with park for the children just across the road and so much ice cream well placed for Plymouth Torquay and the Eden project which we visited during our say
