The Smithy at Okel Tor Mine - Self-catering house in Cornwall
Calstock, PL18 9SQ, Cornwall
England,
Regno Unito
Originally the Smithy for the Okel Tor Mining Company, this nicely-renovated house is the perfect spot for celebrating your tin (tenth) wedding anniversary. You're kept cosy with double glazing and a wood-burning stove, there is plenty of squishy seating and the tiny kitchen has some basics for cooking and all the kit you need to make supper. You'll also find some local snacks waiting for you.
You can sit on the covered veranda to read a book even when it's raining and the views are stupendous – early morning river mist will be romantic, and don't forget binoculars as the birdlife is pretty spectacular too. The calming bedroom has a super-comfy bed and good linen and you can see that view through the window. Join public footpaths down through the woods to the river; a short walk will take you into the village or to a couple of pubs.
This is the place to come if you want to paint, write, enjoy nature and the river. Or simply to be alone with your beloved – and your dog.

Local points of interest from Jon & Jenny Tully:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Jon & Jenny Tully:
- Nature and heritage entwined in a unique setting. Explore the woodland and riverside paths and archaeological remains. Experience the tranquillity, sweeping views across the river and dark night sky. Perhaps sketch or paint, or simply relax with a book.
- Enjoy a complimentary guided tour of the ruined mine buildings, including the most interesting archaeological features on the 16-acre site and an explanation of the mine’s history. Just ask when making your booking or on arrival.
- Celebrate your 10th (tin) anniversary in a Cornish tin mine! Each cottage has been carefully restored, tastefully decorated and fitted with a log burning stove to create a comfortable and cosy retreat, perfect for a couple seeking a romantic break.
- The National Trust's Cotehele is a short walk along the river - a medieval house with gardens spilling down to an historic quay where you can enjoy a cream tea or ice cream. National Trust properties Buckland Abbey, Anthony and Lanhydrock are also nearby.
- Great walking. The Tamara Way coast-to-coast path passes right through Okel Tor Mine and the spectacular views from Kit Hill are nearby too. Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor are less than 30 minutes’ drive and lovely Cornish beaches not much further.
- The local area really is “Beyond Paradise”! Explore nearby locations for the famous TV series, which include Calstock, Pentillie Estate and Looe. Or take a train on the Tamar Valley branch line to Plymouth & catch the ferry back to Calstock.
