Sitting on the Devon side of the border in the parish of Gulworthy, Tamar Barn is located just above the river at the scheduled ancient monument, Tamar Bridge crossing into Cornwall at Gunnislake. The Tamar Valley is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are many delightful areas to see and explore. Tamar Barn is a detached, converted stone building, which lies adjacent to the owners’ home and has a patio area and enclosed garden for children and dogs to enjoy. Gunnislake has a good range of local shops and pubs, as well as the benefit of a railway station linking you to Plymouth and bus service to Tavistock and Liskeard. Nearby, the Tamar Trails Centre offers a wide range of outdoor activities including walking, mountain biking, archery and high wire tree surfing. Other highlights in the area include the historic mining port of Morwellham Quay and a boat trip down the River Tamar from the pretty village of Calstock. Tavistock has an active local market, and there is access up onto Dartmoor National Park from there. At Plymouth you can stroll across The Hoe or visit the National Aquarium. The coast at both Devon and Cornwall are accessible and the international golf resort of St Mellion is 15 minutes away. The renowned Horn of Plenty is only ten minutes walk away and offers quality dining. Beach 16 miles. Shops, pubs and restaurants 500 yards.
All very nice. A few more opening windows would be good as it got a bit stuffy. Kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom all very comfortable.
A very comfortable barn. Good location for touring Devon and also Cornwall - though due to its location it was difficult to turn into the property when crossing the bridge from Cornwall. It has a steep slope which is quite uneven. Steep steps to the garden which if you have an older dog can be a little difficult. The barn itself though is well equipped and spacious.
The house is located on a busy road. You can hear engine noise day and night and see the headlights at night in the bedroom. In the evening there was often no Internet after 8 pm. Initially, an adapter for electrical appliances with continental European plugs was missing. We did not receive any instruction in the house, e.g. the heating, hot water. A pump caused constantly recurring noise during the day and at night, so it was almost impossible to fall asleep in the bedroom with 2 beds. Even if the house itself is beautiful and well furnished, we would not recommend it to anyone.
Lovely barn with everything we needed for our stay. We had a problem with the washing machine while there but the owners were really helpful and did washing for us. Easy to visit lots of places and supermarkets were only 15 minutes away. Would certainly stay here again in the future and recommend to friends.
Great Barn conversion Good amenities Good location for walking & touring the local area
Great cosy place to stay with everything you need and within easy reach of some great dog walks.
Great location, very peaceful and comfortable. Trail walks right on the doorstep with lovely views and ideal for the dog. Pubs in the local village and Tavistock only a short distance in the car. Also, really easy to get to beaches, an ideal location to explore Devon & Cornwall.
We had a lovely relaxing weekend staying at Tamar Barn, It was very cosy and perfect for 3 of us just chilling out.
