Perfectly positioned for touring Devon and Cornwall, a short drive of Tavistock and the dramatic Dartmoor National Park, renowned for its rugged scenery, tors and quaint villages. The historic town offers a pannier market, restaurants, cinema, swimming pool complex, park and walks beside the River Tavy and canal. Morwellham Quay is just 6 miles away and here you can visit and see what was once one of the busiest ports in Britain and where the BBC2 TV documentary series Edwardian Farm was filmed. Discover the heritage of the Tamar Valley nearby and the abundance of Wildlife it has to offer. You may be lucky to see the fallow deer wandering through the valley, the foxes playing in the fields, catch a glimpse of a buzzard in flight or hear the distinct woodpecker in the trees. Visit one of many National Trust properties including Cotehele House, Lydford Gorge and Buckland Abbey with both the north and south coasts easily accessible.

This stunning log cabin offers simple, yet comfortable holiday accommodation in complete privacy, set in the grounds of the owner’s home. Stepping into the unique cabin you have a cosy bedroom/lounge with a double bed, wood burner and comfortable seating area with Smart TV and radio. Walk outside, yet undercover around the side of the lodge and a door re-enters you into a separate part of the cabin to a compact kitchenette area with a step down to a prep area which has fridge with ice compartment, sink and combination microwave, oven and air fryer. Just off the kitchenette is a shower cubicle and separate WC.

Heading outside, the log cabin has a covered porch area with rattan garden furniture and pretty outside lighting, as well as sensor lighting to guide your way to and from the gated off-road parking area. Your own large lawn area directly outside has superb views across the Tamar Valley and a detached summer house with seating inside and loungers outside with charcoal BBQ. A perfect place to sit back, relax and soak up the serenity of the area. Off-road gated parking for 2 cars.

Amazing quiet location with a view to die for. The log cabin is beautiful, the only downside is the toilet is a bit snug.

If you need a quiet, relaxing few days this place is perfect. Beautiful view, great for dogs as garden is huge and enclosed. Middle of nowhere, you will have to travel 30-45 mins to get anywhere. Make sure you set your satnav before you leave as data in surrounding area is non existent. WiFi is good, toilet is a tight space, shower ok. All in all fRead moreor a quiet, relaxing time sat reading enjoying the view it's great. Hide

Amazing location with breathtaking views. A very relaxing holiday for us and our two whippets who had plenty of space to run around. I would definitely recommend this wonderful lodge to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

this rustic and remote cabin is ideal for a romantic get away PROVIDING you are no taller than the average HOBBIT!!. The Killer beam in the kitchen is at a dangerous height!SELECTED!, !ENDOFSELECTED!with the cunningly camoflaged step down in front of the sink makes it fun every time . Same with the toilet , unless the door is left open it is impRead moreossible to avoid hitting your head on the wall or door . the decking in need of repair , Two CCTV cameras permenently focused on the deck of cabin

RESPONSE FROM HOLIDAY COTTAGES: The property certainly has low beams, taller guests may need take care. Maintenance on the decking is due over winter. The cameras your saw are disabled, nothing can be recorded or viewed and your privacy is not affected in any way.

Perfect location. Amazing garden, completely dog firendly with lovely views and walks from the door step. Toilet and the shower are a little compact, but everything else was 100% perfect. Would highly recommend, escpecially if you are looking for a great place for peace, quiet and complete security for your dog(s).

Lovely cabin in a beautiful setting, we booked this mainly for the dogs as the garden is a great size with beautiful views and so peaceful. The property is compact but comfortable. The area was perfect as you were not far from numerous beaches,towns,villages and walks.
