Property Details

North Ward cottage has a large garden and overlooks the river Tamar with Cornwall and Cothele House, a National Trust Property, on the other side of the river. Bere Alston is the nearest village but Tavistock is close-by and is an attractive market town. The Wharf in Tavistock offers arts and cinema events and you can play tennis, play bowls and tennis in the centre of this lovely town.

Local Area Details

You can get to the cottage by train from either Calstock or Bere Alston Stations. The cottage is set in a lovely rural area and so there are several walks that start direct from the cottage. The cottage is about half way along the new 32-mile Tamar Discovery Trail that stretches from Plymouth to Launceston.

The Tamar valley is officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is full of wildlife; particularly birds. Woodpeckers have been seen on the lawn although finches and warblers are more common. Walking down the Tamar bird watchers can see huge reed beds used by wading birds for nesting. We have a boat that can be used by agreement and you can hire canoes and other boats to use on the river. Holiday rentals are on the basis that you will help with the 3/4acre garden. This section of the Tamar valley is very quiet with hardly any tourists except a few ramblers on the paths that thread through the area.
