Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage sits within woodland near Clitters, just outside Callington in east Cornwall, sleeping 4 across 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The single-storey layout gives the property a low, settled feel within its wooded surroundings, with an enclosed garden and decking where the hot tub and BBQ are positioned. The open fire inside and hot tub outside make this a property that works well outside the main summer season.

The cottage includes wifi, parking, a dishwasher, and BBQ. There is no washing machine. The nearest beach, Downderry Beach, is 19.3km south - a long sandy stretch on the south coast, quieter than many of the better-known Cornwall beaches. Whitsand Bay, a dramatic 6km arc of sand visible from the cliff path, is 20.4km.

Callington is a small market town with shops and supermarkets about 3km away. The Tamar Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, begins immediately east of the town, with walking routes along the river and through former mining settlements. Plymouth is around 20km east via the A388 or the Tamar Bridge.

Suits couples or small groups who want a quiet, self-contained rural base with the hot tub as the main draw, using the car to reach beaches and towns. Less good for those who need to be near a beach or within walking distance of anything.

Highlights include a private hot tub, open fire, BBQ and enclosed garden, a woodland setting, and easy reach of the Tamar Valley and the south Cornwall coast.
