Cot and highchair. Balcony. Wheelchair access. Sauna (private).. Set in the gently undulating foothills of Bodmin Moor, Rosecraddoc Manor boasts a history that dates back to the Domesday Book. Rebuilt in the 1820s it is Grade II listed, together with the two bridges in the grounds – one of which forms part of the entrance drive. The manor house and coach house have been converted into apartments, all furnished and equipped to a very high standard, with many luxurious touches that will appeal to the most discerning of visitors. Access to the front door of the Manor is by three stone steps. Some of the accommodation features four poster beds, some offer spa baths and some offer saunas.
Heron is a first floor studio-style apartment, whilst Riverview and Riverbank enjoy a secluded position on the banks of the small cascading river, with pretty aspects across the river and parkland towards the lake – these two cottages include special features to make them suitable for wheelchair users.
Lakeview stands about 75 yards from the manor, in an enviable position overlooking the fishing lake, and enjoys particularly beautiful views from its first floor living room and large balcony.

The lake is well stocked for coarse fishing, with carp, roach and bream, and the all weather tennis court can be enjoyed April – October. There are several pubs locally.

Location is amazing, the local town Liskeard is beautiful and has all needed amenities. The cottage itself is well sized for a family of four. Advertised as having a washer/dryer however is in fact just a washer. Both double beds could use updating. The downstairs bed was very uncomfortable and noisy, and the upstairs double has broken slats that have been temporarily fixed however has not fixed the issue and the slats keep popping out.The grounds of the manor are beautiful and peaceful.

First, the positives:- The location and setting is fantastic. Picturesque and tranquil, it makes for a pleasant, relaxing stay. The property itself is well appointed (if a little tired) and comfortable. The downstairs bedroom and wet room are a bonus (we have a disabled son, and this was an absolute necessity when booking).However, the whole experience is spoilt by what seems to be 'penny pinching'.Electricity - extra!Wi-fi - extra!Towels - extra!Toiletries - non existent (not even hand soap)Welcome pack/hamper - no, not even salt and pepper!The kitchen has a dishwasher, but only 1 wash tablet was provided!There was no second black bin liner available (we just about managed 4 nights with the one bag - just as well!)The downstairs wet room didn't appear to have been aired sufficiently between lets and caused a musty smell to permeate the premises. Although numerous pillows were provided, they were all very basic and thin, giving very little neck support. All in all, for the (not inconsiderable) price, we expected more. It turned what should have been a luxurious, upmarket experience into a very basic one.A real shame, as the premises and location offer so much!
