A beautiful cottage with gorgeous interior, but the real selling point is its tranquil location. The care and attention the owners have taken to restore the landscape from brownfield site to a stunning mini nature reserve is amazing. Loved everything about our stay.

The location was so peaceful and tranquil. Camellia cottage was well equipped. The views of the River Tamar and the surrounding countryside were beautiful.

knee and back problems. The cottage is in a beautiful location which we really appreciated but when eating at the dining table the hedge needed to be a few feet lower. But loved it so much we have booked it again for next year. Thank you for providing a lovely holiday cottage from these owners.
