Driftwood Cottage on the Tamar river

Deep in the South West Devon Countryside in the most magical valley lives this idyllic retreat. A glorious barn converted to cottage, that’s as stunning on the inside as it’s surroundings on the outside. This is one for lovers of the good life, a countryside escape away from it all. Set in the remarkably pretty Tamar Valley, Driftwood Cottage is the quintessentially picture perfect retreat away from it all. With only the sounds of birds and owls for company. The space Perfect place for kayaking and small boating. In addition fishing here for salmon, trout and sea bass. Local Kayak hire available. Dogs are welcomed! You can add your pet to your booking. Note that we have free-range (and well-loved!) chickens and ducks roaming about the farm, and we gently request that you keep your pet(s) from disturbing them. Guest access You will have the whole cottage to your selves, with a small garden to the front side and back. There is a footpath that takes you across the salt marsh to the river. The river is a tidal estuary and is ideal for fishing and launching small boats. You can even leave a small boat tied up during your stay. Other things to note Things to do around and about. Fishing The River Tamar is one of the best salmon and sea trout rivers in the southwest of England, with a recorded catch of 298 in 2008. There is excellent fly water on its middle and lower reaches fishing from June to October. Plus sea bass and other fish.

Use the grounds or the local area to take your group out after dark, to explore your surroundings under the stars. Small boating or kayaking: You can hire a Kayak. Please ask for details as Kayaks need to be booked in advance. Bring your own small boat or kayak and enjoy the stunning view of nature. We have excellent access to water. With our on-going work for the green canopy scheme, and to help reduce your travel carbon footprint, we would be happy if you would like to bring a small tree to plant.
