Each cottage has outdoor seating and BBQ. The barn can be used to store bicycles if you are cycling the many trails around the area. At the bottom of the courtyard a traditional 5-bar Devon gate leads to our area of tranquility. This incorporates an orchard, children's play area, sheep and lamb paddocks, pig pen and seating for relaxation and the enjoyment of Carpenter's pure natural environment.

Keep strolling towards the next gate which leads to the River Tamar meadows. We have purposely left these meadows as a small nature reserve, where, if you have the patience and the time is right, you can see Red and Roe deer, birds of prey soaring in the thermals, kingfishers sweeping and darting along the river, and majestic otters playing.

The idyllic river setting with peace and quite allows some good fishing, fish include Trout, Roach and in late autumn Salmon returning to spawn.
