What our customers say about their holidays

  My wife and I have just spent a thoroughly enjoyable fortnight's stay at the cottage.

  On arrival we found the property extremely well prepared with welcoming gifts of bottles of Cornish cider, chocolates and cream teas. On the second day, Steve the owner, came to check that we were settled in okay and that everything was to our satisfaction. I am 81 years old and use crutches and I mentioned that I had difficulty with the one step leading to the front door. On returning from our day out I found that he had installed a small ramp to make it easier for me. I was amazed at such a level of consideration. It made all the difference to our holiday and showed a level of service far beyond what I would normally expect. The Hot Tub was discreetly enclosed for privacy and my wife enjoyed a relaxing soak each morning. At the end of the first week Steve asked if we would like the cleaner to come in and change the bedlinen and towels. I thought that this was a very nice touch as at other places we have spent a fortnight in we have had to make do with the original towels and bedlinen for the entire stay. The location of the cottage makes access to both the North and South coasts easy. If you fancy dining out the local pub/restaurant Lanivet Inn is one and a half miles away and serves excellent food at reasonable prices. We dined there four times during our stay. In summary I would highly recommend Rosewarrick Cottage as the perfect hideaway for a relaxing holiday.

  I have marked the property down simply on the basis of parking.

  When we arrived there was nowhere to park so I parked on the neighbour’s drive (no. 16) for a few minutes to unload our heavy cases and dog crate. The neighbour called down over his intercom to my wife demanding we move the car immediately. I ignored this but we were unable to park in Diments Garden during our stay and I was worried how I could load the car on departure. Luckily I was able to get a place on the very last morning so I avoided another confrontation- I was planning to park on the pavement outside no 16’s drive. During the week I didn’t see a single car on no 16s drive. If I owned Rooemakers Cottage I would see if he’d let people park on his drive for, say, 30 minutes for a reasonable sum. It would make a huge difference. We were able to park in Hospital Lane every day which wasn’t really a problem otherwise. Other minor points - my wife suggested a make up mirror would be good. Our granddaughter slept in the upstairs room on Sunday afternoon and my son thought the curtains were very thin so it was very light in the room. Otherwise everything was absolutely fine - clean and comfortable.

  A fab property.

  We were lucky enough to be staying here, right in the middle of Gorran Haven, over New Year! Although the weather let us down some of the time, we can’t fault anything else. Lovely welcome treats for us and the dogs on arrival, everything we needed to feel at home straight away & a great location. Cakebreads just down the road (village shop, cafe, bar & post office all mixed into one!) serves up a cracking breakfast (outside so wrap up warm) which set us on our way for fabulous walks in all directions… although the walk to Vault beach is a must on a sunny day, especially if you combine it with a walk to the Barley Sheaf pub….best Scotch egg ever & amazing steak!!! Mevagissey is also within easy reach, with a nice stop off at the Rising Sun in Portmellon. Great fish & chips in Gorran Haven to head back to al the end of the day too! Everywhere we went was super friendly, to us and the dogs! (Although, this may alter in peak season!) Highly recommend both the property & the location!

  Hearing the sound of horses hoofs walking past, the darkest skies you can imagine (at night, no light pollution), the place is very tranquil.

  Everybody we met there were very pleasant and happy to talk. Exceptional welcome pack, even included fresh milk in a jug which was a nice touch. Has all you will need for your visit, even a garden hose so you can wash your car down after the Cornish roads. Washing machine and dishwasher fitted, really nice induction hob and large fridge freezer for all your needs. Overall the pictures do not give it justice, we thought we were coming to a small shed like structure, but wow, when you walk through the front door, its totally huge, enough heating to heat the ice caps if you do get cold. And a private garden area large enough for many. the worse part for us was that we had to leave, we could totally have lived there. Perfect in every detail, and they paid attention to detail when they renovated it and kitted it out. am already in talks with the family who live close by to come visit again. travel lodge or premier inn?? no thanks, this will be the first place we look for now.

  The property was private and cozy even though it's on the site of a working family farm.

  That was actually one of our favorite parts, it felt like we were part of the countryside/community for a couple days. And we loved saying hello to the dogs and alpacas/llamas. We visited on a chilly weekend, so definitely use the space heaters provided if you get cold easily. We only used the wood stove (on purpose) and though that heats the living area so well and was extremely cozy, it was a little chilly in the bedroom without the heater on. Again, we did that on purpose, but not all like that. Our hosts were lovely the couple times we saw them and they were super responsive to texts - for example when we needed more kindling or teabags. The surrounding countryside was gorgeous and the inn/restaurant just down the road (The Crossings Inn) was great and so close by. It's also in Hadrian's Wall country. We loved it.
