Toad Hall Cottages

This charming 18th century, detached, stone cottage is in a truly glorious waterfront setting, adjacent to a grassy quay on the tidal River Tavy, that widens out into the Tamar estuary, the border between Devon and Cornwall. Beautifully and very comfortably furnished the cottage with feature beams, is warm and inviting and very much home from home with gorgeous views from most rooms and has a tasteful modern extension at the rear opening to a secluded garden.
Located in a delightful village with a pub, Saturday shop and well-equipped playground and tennis court, there are endless opportunities for great walking, bird watching, riding, tennis and boating with crabbing from the quay for the young and a launching slip adjacent to the cottage. A special feature of the village is the Tamar Valley railway station, where trains run direct to Plymouth (20 minutes) and across the Tamar to Gunnislake in Cornwall. So come to this very special place and experience a rather different aspect of Devon with everything on the doorstep, including Cornwall!
