  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.

  Just back from a much needed break at Mariners Rest.

  The weather wasn’t the best but it didn’t matter one bit as we were able to enjoy our beautiful place and surroundings come rain or shine! Lovely spacious and bright accommodation with a view of the sea to wake up to, such a calm, comfortable space to relax in, both inside and out. And thank you to our fabulous host Georgia who was excellent with her communication & kindly on call if we needed anything. But we didn’t as everything was perfect ! Super location to explore too - we enjoyed just being able to walk out the door and walk the costal path from Gorran Haven to Port Mellon on a beautiful sunny day with stunning coastal views and we even saw some seals ! And nearby, well worth exploring the fishing villages of Charlestown, Mevagissey and Fowey. We recommend the Polgooth Inn for an amazing breakfast treat especially the ‘marmite melt!’, the local Gorran fish and chip shop a short stroll away & the Crown at St Ewe for supper! Can’t wait to return to Mariners Rest and the fabulous Cornish coast - missing you already!

  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!

  The Apple Barn is a little gem.

  It is beautifully and thoughtfully presented with plenty of attention to detail. Even the knives for food preparation were sharp (a first for me in holiday cottages). The bed and bed linen are great. Also there were white towels and grey towels so you always knew you were using your own towel. We would have liked more instructions in the booklet about how to dispose of food waste, dry mixed recycling and general rubbish. We were working from home and there is not a lot of space for two work stations but it is a holiday cottage not a live/work space. The wifi connection was excellent. We would happily come again but if we did we would try to book one of the other two units as they have a better view and access to the garden. Neither were available for our dates which were a last minute booking after another owner had let us down by cancelling our stay. We feel very lucky to have been here in the peace and quiet.
