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, 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 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

There are lovely walks on your doorstep, and there are plenty of birds, rabbits and deer to be seen outside. The cottage itself has a comfy sofa and double bed. En-suite shower room and toilet. All kitchen equipment you need to cook meals on electric cooker. Tv has enough channels for you to find something to watch. Wi fi was pretty good considering where you are. Shops are 10 mins by car in Tavistock. Great cottage to relax and unwind in. Highly recommended.
