Out and About

Our huts are situated between Dartmoor National Park and the Tamar Valley, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as being a UNESCO World Heritage site for its mining history (click here for more information).

We are therefore perfectly placed to explore both areas , as well as for exploring the rest of Cornwall and visiting Plymouth.

Dogs

We allow 1 (small to medium sized) dog in Coopy Corner hut only (dog to be no larger than a cockapoo- 10kg max) . Please note we do charge £30 per stay- let us know if you will be bringing your pet with you

Places to Visit

There are many places that you can visit while staying with us including:

Tavistock : Just 7 miles from us, Tavistock is a beautiful and historic town with many restaurants, bars and shops (click here for more information). There is also an excellent Farmers Market on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Saturday in the month in Bedford Square from 9am to 2pm. Click here for details.

Plymouth: Is an incredibly historic City with many things to see , including Plymouth Hoe ( where Francis Drake played bowls before defeating the Spanish Armada) and The Barbican Harbour (from where The Mayflower sailed, along with many other historic ships). Click here for more information on Plymouth. You can drive to Plymouth , or it is far more pleasant to take the train there from Calstock down the scenic Tamar Valley Line. You can then get the train back or even better get the ferry from Plymouth to Calstock up the river Tamar, travelling under Brunel's famous railway bridge (click here for details on how to book the round trip - you need to check tide and train times before setting off on your trip).

Calstock: Is a charming village on the river Tamar. It has a great pub, café and ice cream shop , plus an impressive viaduct which carries the train to Plymouth. You can get the train or ferry to Plymouth from here (see above). From Calstock you can also take a short walk along the river to Cothele - see below.

Cothele House, gardens and Quay : Cothele is a National Trust owned, Tudor house, with lovely gardens and a historic quay. The quay is a short walk from Calstock and is free to visit , while there is a charge for entering the house and gardens (click here for more information).

Morwellham Quay: Which was once the largest Copper Ore port in Queen Victoria's British Empire. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fascinating visitor attraction (click her e for more information).
