Smashing house made even more interesting by the super volunteers in each of the rooms explaining the contents & history with such enthusiasm. A very nice walk around the gardens & really good exercise walking down the valley garden, along to the quay, where we had a very nice ale at the Edgecombe,
Lovely house and gardens. There is a lot of land around which is excellent for a walk; dogs are allowed in the wider grounds. Good cafe options. Helpful staff and a warm welcome.
It was school holidays and whilst I didn't visit with children, activities had been set up on the lawn.
We are members so
Wow! Three places to visit all in one - the house, the quay and the mill. All three well worth a visit with lovely woodland footpaths linking all three sites. As always, the staff are so knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about where they volunteer, with lots of interesting facts and insights, of
Probably the most preserved and best example of a house I've seen.
Blueberry scone in the cafe was amazing and great to see natural no added sugar drinks available.
Shame the Mill isn't currently working and sign posting whilst walking the grounds is poor so it's easy to get lost and miss things.
One of our favourite National Trust properties. From the interesting history of the building to the gardens and orchards.
If you visit during apple harvest you can collect apples from over 300 varieties for a small donation.
The Cotehele mill and Quay are also open (shuttle bus available)
You could easily spend the day exploring the house and grounds and the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. We arrived mid afternoon so we only managed the house and gardens and a cup of tea but we'll worth a visit.
A fabulous place that will hold your interest for hours. It has a fine collection of furniture and tapestries that were collected over the centuries. The grounds are second to none. It has a vast collection of different apple varieties. This visit corresponded with the apple festival. The traditiona
Excellent place to visit,my children loved the place especially the weapons hanging on the walls along with some other oddities. So lovely to visit these homes and to see and feel the past ,sometimes you get a feeling that just part of you could almost of been here in a past life .Also it houses a
You'll need a whole day to explore this estate, make sure you visit the mill and quay. If you have time walk along the Tamar to Calstock with its riverside pubs and massive railway viaduct.
I had a lovely day, I couldn't do the same my family, they went inside, I was on a tramper, which was great but restricting and not well signposted where I could go with the Tramper, I got to a gate way and had to turn round yet the gardens where the bit I wanted to see, I saw on the map after that
Lovely interesting place to visit. The gardens are lovely..spring flowers & orchards starting blossom..stunning views down the valley & lovely woodland walk & birdsong..The mill was interesting even though not working yet following damage to weir..interesting insight into pottery making & woodworki
What a great day out. All the wonderful buildings, beautiful gardens and views down to the Tamar make Cotehele a fabulous place to visit. The Hall, Quay and Mill are all so interesting. Lovely craft shops and cafes round the visit off perfectly.
Lovely day out and interesting! Beautiful gardens and an great to learn about the history.
Shame the mill is out of commission currently, but interesting to see nonetheless.
Fabulous mill!
Yes the weir was broken and the wheel wasnt turning and the cafe wanted over £3 for an ice cream but the place is really interesting and in a beautiful setting. Didnt bother with the house.
We spent the full day here. House and Gardens, mill, quay. We just about managed to get round it all but intend a return visit to learn more.
Of all the many National Trust properties I have visited, this is my favourite. Fascinating house and contents and beautiful garden and view. Do visit!
Beautiful house & gardens, a really tranquil spot. Lovely walks along the riverside as well. Lovely cafe with really nice food!
Been here once before and visited the mill and quay but didn't have time to go into the house. This time visited the house and loved it. Very old property steeped in history and made up of an impressive original main hall which was sighificantly added to over time. This makes it an interesting lay
Beautiful place, very informative staff & too much to see properly in one visit.
Nice tearooms
