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, then a walk to the mill & back uphill to the house. Great day out all round & only had to pay for parking & beer thanks to the splendid national trust free autumn pass offer
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 entrance is included in our annual fee.
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, often things you would miss. The main cafe/restaurant was well stocked and offered a great variety of dishes, as well as huge slices of cake. Just one note of caution - the lanes approaching Cotehele are narrow single track, be prepared to back up a few times - some visitors were really struggling with reversing and passing spaces.
