Tucked away in the pretty riverside village of Bere Ferrers, Hawcombe Cottage is a charming hideaway for two, perfectly placed for those seeking a peaceful escape surrounded by the beautiful Devon countryside. Just a hop, skip and a jump from the River Tavy, this cosy semi-detached cottage makes a wonderful base for slowing down, exploring and enjoying the great outdoors.

Step inside you holiday abode and you'll find a light and airy open plan living space, thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable sitting-area, dining space and well-equipped kitchen - perfect for rustling up a delicious brunch before heading out for the day's adventures. Upstairs, the inviting bedroom is home to a king-size bed with a picture window out across the village, while the en suite shower-room adds a touch of convenience. Hawcombe Cottage is an ideal choice for a couple or solo traveller as well as a small four-legged friend.

The River Tavy is quite literally on your doorstep and is a haven for wildlife and water sports. When the tide is in, it's a wonderful spot for kayaking and paddleboarding, while at low tide the exposed mudflats attract an abundance of birdlife, particularly during the spring and autumn migrations. For walkers, a network of footpaths wind through the surrounding countryside, following the river and passing remnants of the area's fascinating silver mining heritage.

The friendly, discreet owners live next door. They are always respectful of your privacy whilst remaining close by should you need any local recommendations or assistance during your stay.

For a delicious home-cooked meal, simply cross the road to The Olde Plough Inn, the perfect spot for a relaxed evening after a day exploring. There's plenty to discover further afield; the Tamar Valley Line runs through Bere Ferrers, whisking you into Plymouth in just seventeen minutes, where you can enjoy the city's rich maritime history, attractions, shops and restaurants. Just seven miles away by road you will find the ancient market town of Tavistock - gateway to the wild and wonderful landscapes of Dartmoor National Park.

For a lovely day out, head to the charming riverside village of Calstock, just a short drive from Bere Ferrers. Sitting on the banks of the River Tamar, Calstock is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a pretty quay, historic buildings and its striking Victorian viaduct. Spend some time exploring the village before following one of the scenic riverside walks or discover the fascinating history of the Tamar Valley at nearby Morwellham Quay. The National Trust's Cotehele is another wonderful option, with its historic house, gardens, woodland and riverside setting.
