Rustle up tasty dishes for your loved ones in the well-equipped kitchen, with handy utility just off, ready to enjoy at the dining table for six as you recount the days adventures to the backdrop of an alluring woodburning stove. On warmer days, you can fire up the barbecue out in the rear enclosed walled garden and indulge in a spot of alfresco dining. After dinner, continue up to the first floor, where you will find three tastefully decorated bedrooms, a double, twin and a single, all of which are served by a well-appointed shower room. For your local amenities, you are well-catered for in Gunnislake, where you can dine at The Rising Sun, enjoy leisurely strolls along the River Tamar, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, or embark on a scenic hike or bike ride on one of many beautiful walking trails available right from your doorstep. Next stop is Calstock, where you will find the welcoming eateries of The Tamar Inn and The Boot Inn, the Calstock Viaduct, and the stunning 19th-century National Trust site of Cotehele. Continue onto Tavistock, where you can test out your swing at the excellent Tavistock Golf Club, dine at The Trout and Tipple, tour Tavistock Museum, or visit the popular pannier market. Further afield, you will discover Plymouth, home to the National Marine Aquarium, National Trust Saltram, The Box, Thetare Royal, Royal William Yard and Plymouth Gin Distillery. All this and more awaits at Trevalba Cottage.

Gunnislake is a small rural community that is on the riverbanks of the Tamar, which are heavily forested. There are some shops and taverns in the area. The settlement is located at the beginning of the beautiful Tamar Valley Railway, which runs along the riverbank all the way to Plymouth. Dartmoor, the beaches of the south and north coasts, and the sights of Cornwall's westernmost region are all easily accessible from here. The Dartmoor town of Tavistock, with its pannier market, pubs, and restaurants, is easily accessible, as is the charming maritime village of Calstock, celebrated for its arts and crafts and annual festivals. Visit the National Trust-owned Lydford Gorge, go on a wildlife safari through the Tamar Valley, or take a trip to the beach and scenic harbour at Looe (25 miles) - there's something for everyone. If you're looking for a unique day trip, take the Tamar Valley Railway into Plymouth to visit the amazing Marine Aquarium and the historic Plymouth Hoe.
