Pear Tree Cottage

Pear Tree Cottage is a single-storey one-bedroom cottage near St Dominick in the Tamar Valley National Landscape, sleeping two with a private hot tub and enclosed garden. The address places it at Tremoan near St Mellion - expect orchard and woodland scenery rather than coast views. One well-behaved dog is welcome.

Inside, the cottage has a double bedroom, one bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Underfloor heating and gas central heating run throughout. Parking is on-site. The single-storey layout is practical for anyone avoiding stairs, though it is not listed as wheelchair accessible.

St Dominick sits within the Tamar Valley National Landscape, with the National Trust's Cotehele medieval manor about two miles north - its terraced gardens drop to a riverside quay and it's one of the most complete late-medieval houses in the country. Whitsand Bay is 8.6 miles away and Kingsand Beach 9.6 miles. Plymouth is a short drive across the Tamar Bridge via Saltash, useful for a larger supermarket run or an evening out.

Best for: couples or solo travellers wanting a quiet rural retreat with a hot tub and coast day trips within easy range. Less good for: families or groups - this cottage sleeps only two.
