Tin mine riverside retreat, log fires, views, wildlife, ruins, pet-friendly | Cottage in Calstock
1 Bedroom Cottage in Morwellham, Calstock
Hidden in 16 acres of woodland, just upstream from the village of Calstock in Cornwall, you'll find the ivy-clad ruins of Okel Tor Mine; a Scheduled Ancient Monument, a National Landscape (AONB), a haven for wildlife and the location of our two romantic retreats - The Smithy and The Count House. These award-winning Grade II listed cottages nestle amongst oak and beech trees but have stunning panoramic views across the River Tamar to the rolling Devon hills the other side. Each cottage has been carefully restored, tastefully decorated and fitted with a log burning stove to create a comfortable and cosy retreat for one or two people.
THE COUNT HOUSE. If you’re looking for a romantic hideaway in Cornwall, The Count House at Okel Tor Mine could be just what you’re looking for. The former mine captain’s office, where the miners were paid the ore assayed to check its purity, is now a riverside retreat - either as a cosy cottage for two or a restful retreat for one. This quirky little cottage is full of character and charm. Renovated to a high standard and tastefully decorated it’s still easy to imagine what it was like 150 years ago. With the benefit of modern facilities, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing stay in this calming environment.
ANTIQUITY AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN ABUNDANCE. Okel Tor Mine lies in the heart of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. As well as exploring our own mine workings and buildings, walk or cycle the Tamar Trails around the Devon Great Consols mine, or take the mine train underground at Morwellham Quay. National Trust properties are always popular with guests. Cotehele House can be reached by a pleasant walk along the river, while Buckland Abbey, Anthony and Lanhydrock are all nearby. The Tavistock Guildhall Heritage Centre is also well worth a visit.
GREAT WALKING. A short walk right from your cottage door takes you through the old mine workings and back along the river, while a stroll into Calstock follows the wetlands wildlife reserve. The Tamara Way coast-to-coast path passes right through Okel Tor Mine and the spectacular views from Kit Hill are nearby too. Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor are less than 30 minutes’ drive and lovely Cornish beaches not much further. We also have a warm boiler house to dry boots and waterproofs.
DOGS ARE WELCOME. It’s a doggy heaven here - lots of great walks right from the door, a river to swim in plus dog-friendly pubs and a café in the local village. We provide throws for the sofas, a washdown for muddy paws and somewhere to dry towels and rugs.
