“Beautifully renovated mill building converted to three bedroom accommodation.”

The living area is open plan, bright and airy, Ideal for socialising as a family, and adequately equipped for a self catering holiday. The bedrooms were as described, clean and fresh. A blind over the small window in the double bed room would be a good addition but we were able to improvise satisfactorily.. The gardens are huge with a lovely little lake which, when we visited, had waterlilies in bloom and damsel flies flitting about. There are places to sit and contemplate or read or just chat ...

The location is down a private road near a small stream and is very peaceful. The host was very welcoming ( Cream tea! thank you!) on arrival , showed us around and was available if we needed anything but left us to ourselves otherwise which was perfect. I am sure if there had been a problem he would have been on it straight away. The location is ideal for visiting some lovely little coves for swimming or surfing or for walks along the South West Coast path. There are gardens at Trewidden and Tanglewood which are worth a visit and others which we didn't have time to get to. Mousehole is quant. The Minack isn't far but book in advance of your stay. Only had a week , had a lovely time and wish we had had longer. Thank you.

“We loved the location and the character of the mill, and really appreciated that it was cool in the heat.”

We found the bed was uncomfortable as it was very firm and the lack of a blind/curtains in the small window in the main bedroom meant we were woken with the sun every morning until we improvised some cardboard to cover it. We enjoyed being able to use the garden but whilst it was great to have the picnic benches in different spots we really missed having some comfortable chairs or loungers. The cream tea on arrival was a nice touch but we were surprised that there were no tea bags/coffee and it would have been good to have spare toilet roll and some handwash or soap in the property. The owners were very friendly and welcoming.

Thank you for your feedback – it is always welcome. However, we were extremely surprised to hear that you found the bed uncomfortable…We can honestly say that you are the first guests to have ever commented on this! In fact, a great many of our guests tell us how much they appreciate both the comfort and quality of the mattress, which is a Vi-Spring. Regarding the garden furniture…Our grounds, which extend to around 5 acres, make it rather difficult to position ‘loungers’ or ‘steamers’. However, the overwhelming majority of our guests seem to appreciate the benches that we provide, which we try to position to maximise the peaceful tranquillity of Roskennals. We are pleased that you enjoyed your homemade cream tea, and we provide milk, jam, cream and tea bags to accompany this. Regarding hand-soap: In our experience, we have found that ‘post Covid’ many of our guests would rather supply their own. With regard to toilet rolls…Whilst we do provide toilet rolls for each of the two bathrooms upon arrival, as a provider of a 'self-catering' holiday, most guests appreciate that they will need to buy their own should they need to (along with other supplies such as tea and coffee). However, if the two of you needed another toilet roll, then I would have been more than happy to have obliged - you only needed to ask! Property Owner

“We loved our time in Roskennals.”

The Mill is well situated, comfortable and sits in lovely surroundings. Our party of four all know Cornwall well but not this area especially. We had a great time in unseasonable warmth but the usual Cornish Mizzle. The owners were welcoming and we can definitely see a return visit coming.

“Fabulous 2 weeks - idyllic oasis was a perfect base for exploring West Cornwall.”

“The Mill is beautiful, clean and comfortable.”

Very well equipped with everything you can think of. The beds are very comfortable with quality bed linen. The weather during our stay was not the best but the cottage was warm and cozy. Our 2 spaniels loved the gorgeous gardens, especially the stream, they had such a good time jumping in and splashing about. Most of the pubs and restaurants are dog friendly and we had no problems eating out. Verity met us on our arrival to explain everything and we were greeted with a lovely cream tea with freshly made scones and a bottle of wine, a lovely touch and very well received after a long day. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay again, thank you Verity and Matt, we hope to see you again soon.

“Roskennels Mill was an incredible stay.”

My wife and I chose to have it as a place for us and our family to stay either side of our wedding and it was a lovely venue with fantastic grounds. Matt and Verity are fantastic hosts and helped make sure we had a fantastic stay there!

“Very impressed with all aspects.”

The size of the well kept grass area was very large and great for the dogs, especially as the stream running along the border of the property was very clear and easy for them to access. The appliances were high quality and everything worked as it should. The owners were friendly and helpful. The Covid-19 precautions were very good.

“We had a lovely holiday at Roskennals Mill, so peaceful.”

The garden is great if you are taking dogs plenty of room for them to run around. Sennen and Hayle beaches are superb.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
