Engine Cottage is tucked into the valley side close to Danescombe Cottage, with the woods rising steeply behind. This intriguing building was originally built in the early 19th century to house a Cornish beam engine, used to pump water out of the Danescombe Valley Mine (sometimes called Wheal Calstock). Later it was reused as a blacksmiths shop on the ground floor, with a miners dry (changing room) on the floor above. Today it makes a cosy and romantic little hideaway in a wonderfully secluded part of the Cotehele estate.

Ground Floor: open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with solid fuel stove. First Floor: double bedroom (with 6' bed which can also be a twin on request), bathroom with shower over bath.

Facilities
Washing machine, tumble dryer.

Visitor Notes:
