The cottage is beautiful and in a wonderful location. It is extremely well equipped and provides for every comfort. Situated on the banks of the Tamar we watched the changes as the tide ebbed and flowed and the wonderful bird life that lives on and around the river. Having access to almost all areas of the Pentillie estate enabled us to take a difRead moreferent walk every day without leaving the estate although we did also explore the surrounding areas. We found most places to be dog friendly but be sure to check before you head out with your dog, beaches particularly. Hide
