5 Bed Cottage in Tavistock

About this property

Unwind alongside your favourite people with an escape to this rural home, nestled between the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Dartmoor National Park. Sleeping up to 14 guests across five bedrooms, this sprawling hideaway is perfect for multigenerational family groups or celebratory reunions with friends. Browse for pottery, local prints, and artisan nibbles at the bustling Tavistock Panier Market (1 mile), before cracking open a cold beer in the outdoor bar and congregating around the crackling fire pit.

This vibrant property boasts a beautifully sociable interior. Enjoy light-flooded rooms, contemporary clean lines, and colourful soft furnishings. Shrug off outer layers then step into the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Whip up some post-adventure snacks in the glossy handless kitchen. Perch on the swivel bar stools to debrief over a tipple or slide open the patio doors to create an airy indoor-outdoor space. Gather for an elegant evening soiree at the long feasting table. Sink onto the plump leather sofas to while away evenings reminiscing over drinks or snuggle in with a movie. Thrill-seekers of the group can slink away to the rustic converted garage to work the bar, throw darts, partake in a game of pool or watch your favourite team on the TV or projector screen with Sky. When the evening draws in, discover five tastefully appointed bedrooms in a range of configurations to suit the whole pack. Each room features soft linens and cosy coordinated throws. Outdoors, let the festivities continue in the landscaped garden complete with bar areas and an outdoor 55-inch TV. Soak in the private hot tubs, get grilling on the BBQ, or relax in the glow of the fire pit.

Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in strolling the light-dappled paths of Tamar Trails (3.5 miles). Kit up for an adrenaline-fuelled paddling escapade at Adventure Okehampton (17.5 miles) then scoff an al fresco picnic at the iconic Plymouth Hoe viewpoint (18 miles).
