We really enjoyed our stay in Calstock. The cottage was perfectly placed for exploring the area. The cottage was well equipped and we were welcomed with a bottle of fizz and shortbread. I would recommend visiting the Boot , just a stones throw up the hill from the cottage. Their Sunday roast are amazingl!

A well-equipped cottage in a very convenient place for our stay. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed for our stay. We were visiting family and it was very conveniently situated. The weather had turned colder so the cottage felt cool to us when we arrived. However there was a wood burner and two or three electric heaters so we were able to get it cosy. The cottage could've been warmer when we arrived but we understand that with storage heaters this is difficult to do when the weather changes suddenly.
