About this property
Riverside retreat by Brunel’s Bridge, balcony view, off‑road parking, EV charger
Set directly beside Brunel’s iconic Royal Albert Bridge, this bright two‑storey detached home offers uninterrupted river views and a peaceful base for exploring both Cornwall and Devon. Open the patio doors and watch sailing boats drift along the Tamar from the comfort of the lounge, or unwind on the balcony with a book and a chilled drink as the sun sets.
The compact, well‑equipped kitchen includes an electric hob, oven, microwave and small fridge/freezer. If you need anything extra during your stay, just let us know. The lounge features a TV with Freeview and reliable Wi‑Fi for streaming or catching up on emails.
Upstairs, a good‑sized double bed with quality linen and a cosy duvet provides a restful night’s sleep. The separate bathroom includes a shower, basin and WC. Central heating and plentiful hot water ensure the property stays comfortable all year round.
Off‑road parking is provided, and an on‑site electric vehicle charger is available for a small fee. Well‑behaved pets are welcome by arrangement; we simply ask that they are not left alone in the property and do not climb or sleep on the furniture or bed.
Perfect for walkers and nature lovers, the house sits at the Gateway to Cornwall while also offering easy access to the spectacular landscapes of Dartmoor. Spend your days exploring moorland tors, coastal paths and historic villages, then return to riverside tranquillity. Local rail and river links make visiting coastal towns such as Looe and St Ives simple, while Plymouth’s waterfront, theatres and historic quarters are just a short bus or taxi ride away. The bus stops around the corner from the property and runs 7 days a week for a trip into the City Centre, Barbican Area and the Hoe waterside area.

Fantastic spot for relaxing and visiting Plymouth. Public transport bus route very close was really great for exploring. The cottage was lovely along with the welcome and all communication with Elaine. Would recommend.
This is an ideal property for that weekend getaway. Great amenities, spotlessly clean. Communication was excellent, which was vital as we were travelling through Europe before we arrived UK. I would highly recommend both Elaine and the property. Made our stay most enjoyable.

The property was spotless and the owner very helpful
Excellent place to stay. Great location overlooking the river Tamar.
Close to the city if required.
Elaine was a fantastic host and helped us with some requests.
Warm & comfortable.
Stayed whilst travelling for work, allowed my little dog to accompany me, accommodation is great, cosy and the views are stunning, balcony is an added bonus, loved sitting in the evening with my glass of wine :-)
Easy booking process with great communication from host. Property is exactly as advertised and in a lovely location. Went somewhere different every day.
The property was warm and welcoming with a great view of the Tamar river and bridges. It is an ideal location for exploring Devon and Cornwall. We had a great time staying there. The electric car charger was very handy. Elaine the host was very helpful and her communication was excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and family.
The perfect base for our week in Plymouth. Elaine was easy to contact and provided all the information we needed. The cottage was very well equipped and had a lovely view of the River Tamar. The attention to detail and the little extras were great. We would definitely stay here again if we needed accommodation in Plymouth.
What can I say it was perfect I checked in late on Saturday one small thing wrong but owner sorted it out straight away very good views of the river with a lot going on small cafe near by for breakfast very good I will Go again next year
Elaine is a great host. Accommodation was immaculately clean, had lovely views and is full of light. We had a great stay. The bedroom in the eaves does have restricted height.
Stayed here to be near to my son. Was suitably located and clean on arrival. Lovely, cosy and homely and Elaine was very helpful up to and including our stay. Instructions on finding the location and listing exactly as it is. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Elaine for being so helpful and understanding,
Small but perfectly formed cottage in a wonderfully unique location directly under Brunel’s iconic railway bridge and adjacent to the River Tamar. Good facilities in the cottage but little clothes hanging space. Very comfortable sitting room with lovely view of the river and its sail boats.
Underneath the arches! A superbly situated flat, overlooking the Tamar across to Saltash.
The comforting sound of trains running over Brunel's Tamar Bridge, a regular weekday bus into Plymouth, the gentle movement of the boats moored in the river and the turning of the tide make for an ideal stay.
The stairs are a tad steep but are worth the effort. Bathroom is, downstairs and bedroom up.
Lovely, local "hosts" and kind welcome "gifts" add a kind touch.
A beautiful little property positioned perfectly for exploring both near and far. Access to major roads was easy for whichever direction we chose to go. Bus stop at the door for anything close, including the city centre. Hosts were terrific, after a little problem at the very start of our stay. Problem was fixed quickly with supreme good grace and humour.
We stayed for 4 nights. Comfortable property suitable for a couple. Welcome fudge was a nice touch. May not be suitable for those with mobility issues as there are 2 sets of stairs. Located very close to the river bank and directly underneath the historic Brunel Railway Bridge. There was noise from the trains but not too intrusive.Things we felt could be improved were, the blind over the porthole window in the bedroom. It was too small to block out light adequately. Would have liked another bedside lamp. We would stay again but things we missed, an airing line on the balcony, a teapot and a sieve.
The property very clean we only downgraded stars because of the noise our dog was terrified, and hates thunder and lightening of which the trains rattling over slowly made, not Elaine's fault she was a great host, we also took our own duvet 4.5 as we get very hot and she said it was 10.5 but no problem, lovely view , the fog came down and rain so we left early with having doggy issues!!!
It is central to all amenities. The Ferry Inn is very friendly and did great gin & tonic fish and chips on Friday. Great for dogs as has a little memorial park to walk them 2mins away. Close to Dartmoor and ponies and lovely pub The Boot Inn in Clearbrook.
We had a lovely time, Elaine and her husband were very welcoming. The accommodation had everything you needed. We sat and watched the boats go by from the balcony. Walked to the local pub which was very nice and over the bridge to meet some friends. Cute location good value for money.
