Thimble Hall

About this property

Gunnislake 1.9 miles. Thimble Hall is an impressive converted chapel resting in the tranquil countryside of Latchley near Gunnislake, Cornwall, amid the spectacular scenery of the Tamar Valley AONB. Set across three floors and boasting an abundance of character features including arched windows and wooden beams, this remarkable retreat sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms, making it a superb choice for families and friends seeking an unforgettable stay on the Cornwall and Devon border alongside their four-legged companion. Pass through the large oak doors and into the boot room, where you can hang coats and leave walking boots after adventures through the valley. Here, discover a wonderful reminder of the building's past in the original chapel bell, which can still be rung. Continue into the spacious kitchen/diner, where an electric range-style oven, induction hob and excellent selection of appliances provide everything needed to cater for the group. Gather around the large dining table to share dinner and recount the day's adventures, with the striking character of this converted chapel providing an impressive backdrop. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer and a separate WC complete the ground floor. Climb the granite stone steps to the first floor, where the grand living room awaits beneath the property's tremendous vaulted ceiling. Settle into the seating for an evening in front of the Smart TV with Sky, all while admiring the chapel's magnificent arched windows and extraordinary architectural proportions. A few steps lead down to the snug, where the woodburning stove provides a warming glow and a computer with games offers further entertainment. Also on the first floor are two inviting bedrooms: a king-size with Smart TV and a twin zip/link, which can be arranged as a super-king-size on request. Continue up the beautiful oak staircase to the second floor to find a striking four-poster king-size bedroom with an interior window overlooking the living room, creating a memorable place to wake after a day's exploring. A bunk bedroom makes a great choice for younger guests. The accommodation is completed by two en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom with a separate shower and freestanding slipper bath. Outside, the impressive setting continues, with grounds wrapping around three sides of Thimble Hall and far-reaching panoramic views across the Tamar Valley AONB. Fire up the gas barbecue and dine on the patio before letting younger guests enjoy the large lawn. The garage doubles as a games room with a multi-function games table and seating, providing plenty of entertainment whatever the weather. Return from each adventure to the extraordinary surroundings and sweeping views of Thimble Hall, a magnificent base for your next gathering in the Tamar Valley.

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?
