  This was my fourth stay at River Cottage and as always the village of Calstock and River Cottage never fails to impress.

  Thanks to Paula and Emma for always keeping a clean and tidy cottage. Since my last visit, pre-Covid I did notice some changes in the Village, all for the good, with the Social Club & Village Hall seeming that much more busy & well used and people in general waterfront. Though the noise from the music & customer drinking outside the Social Club could be heard from inside the cottage, on the Friday & Saturday evenings, this did not go beyond 11.00pm, so unless you go to bed before this time should not be an issue. It was also fascinating to see the Flood defences which have been constructed along the River towards the Okel Tor Mine. One comment (niggle) is that whilst on previous visit we had noticed noise from the neighbours property which backs onto & is above the lounge, this year it was louder than had been previously. Most evenings, even with the TV on in River Cottage, you could still hear the TV from the neighbours and other loud sounds which started from early afternoon into the evening. Also whilst a personal choice would suggest if you normally sleep with a soft or medium pillow you may wish to take your own as the pillows in all the rooms are particularly firm. In addition a word of warning, we arranged for a food delivery from Tesco on the evening of our arrival and ten minutes before it was due to be delivered, without any prior warning, rec’d a text message to advise that due to a “system problem” there would be no delivery. So you might be best to do a supermarket shop in Tavistock before you arrive in Calstock.

  This cottage was very well cared for and equipped.

  It has been renovated and decorated to a high standard and felt very nice to stay in. Everything had been thought through and organised to make it a really lovely place to stay. It was bigger than I was expecting and our family of 5 didn’t feel squashed or in each others way. We really enjoyed our weeks holiday and would highly recommend it - there is a lot to visit in the area - we had lots of walks on Dartmoor, visited Tavistock pannier market, Cothele house, Buckland Abby. The owners have pub a map on the wall, with recommendations for walks, activities and rainy day activities - this was really appreciated. I read some reviews about the pub noise - there was a band at the social club until 11pm on Saturday evening, but it didn’t disturb us, fortunately. The pub was closed, so I can’t comment. I took ear plugs, just in case, but they weren’t necessary. Overall, it was a really lovely cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Thank you to the owners, who have obviously put a lot of work into making it a lovely place to stay.

  We had a lovely time here over New Year.

  The cottage is small but well appointed so didn’t feel cramped. There was an odd fusty smell in the bedroom which we narrowed down to a pillow - once banished the smell disappeared. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and exceptionally clean. The complimentary milk, bottle of fizz and cream tea was a thoughtful touch and highly appreciated after a 5 hour journey! As was the doggie care kit. I failed to take any shower gel based on the pictures - which showed it was provided - there were no toiletries but I just used my other half’s (my fault for assuming). The beach was a disappointment - small and due to tide, only appearing for a couple of hours each day but the cliff walk is good if you have the knees! The Port William pub was fantastic - friendly staff, good food and dog friendly with a great view over the cove. All in all - great holiday and would recommend the cottage.

  This was a fantastic break!

  The Beach Hut is in a idilic location, perfect for those long coastal walks, easy access (20 yards away) to the sea and beach, when the tide is out. The Hut was exceptionally well presented and had everything that we could have wanted. The shower was strong and hot which is essential and all the fitting were of a high standard and quite luxurious. There were also independently operated radiators which gave us total control of the heating. This was not really needed but just putting them on for 30 minutes in the evening made all the difference to taking the chill and damp out of the air. The pub was clearly only 4 minutes walk away and with fore-planning eating out there was no problem and quite good pub grub, with marvellous views. What better way to watch the sun go down after a long day walking or in the sea? A brilliant place, property and value!

  Beautiful cottage in the most beautiful place.

  So welcoming and the attention to detail is a real wow!! This was our second visit to Beach Hut and the cream tea provided on arrival is such a lovely touch. I would just like to add, that when we visited last year bedding was not provided - and on the back of COVID that was understandable. However we are in different times now and with the world back to normal. We got this cottage at a discount and booked 2 weeks prior to arrival- and there were 3 weeks available in August at the time of booking. It’s a shame that such a high quality and beautiful cottage should not be getting the bookings it deserves as the standard is so high. Provide the bedding and this place sells out at top dollar. Owners are selling themselves short. I have not marked it down at all due to this as it is truly wonderful x
