Roosters

One of a complex of three cottages in a very quiet location , very comfortable with everything you would need for your stay , the owner is very nice and we were left a lovely welcome pack of scones, cream, jam and a bottle of wine.

Dogs can be walked in the fields around the cottage. Great location for exploring both coastlines, lots of circular walks , fantastic beaches and good local pubs to eat in.

All in all a great stay!

Thanks to our hosts for a lovely week at Roosters. Set in a lovely part of Cornwall with so much to see and do.

This was our second time to Roosters and we were as pleased as our previous visit.

The cottage was very clean, well appointed, warm and perfectly situated as a base for either coast. The cottage is in a quiet and peaceful location shared with the owners and a couple of other cottages in its own grounds, perfect for those looking for accommodation with their dogs. We are lucky to spend several weeks away on holiday each year and Roosters ranks at the top of the list in terms of satisfaction. It’s great to know and the confidence that your home for the week is so clean and perfectly situated. We hope to return in the future.

Wonderful accommodation in a great location.

We will definitely be back.

Beautiful setting surrounded by fields and trees might be challenging for some the parking but actually we parked with ease .

The cottage was lovely , comfortable and very welcoming with treats . Beautiful scones and cream tea awaited us . The area holds so much to see and do . Parking in Lostwithiel not easy and the walk down and up , not an easy one but for those who are fit and active not a problem .I would stop here again without a doubt . Very tranquil and peaceful

This is our 3rd year at roosters and it's as wonderful this year as the other years.

The cottage is welcoming and very clean. The beds are so comfortable with lovely fresh bedding. The area around the cottage is very wildlife friendly and all you can hear are the birds. If a relaxing holiday is what you want Roosters is ideal.

Very.

Good hospitality from the owner when we arrived the cottage was lovely every thing you could wish for was available

Another great stay.

Beautiful cottage in lovely peaceful surroundings. Very helpful host but not intrusive. Lots of places with good food in the village

Lovely return visit to Roosters, it’s a nice peaceful place to stay which is an ideal location to drive to the surrounding areas.

The hosts are lovely and so are their animals. Thank you

This was the second time my sister in law and myself have stayed at roosters.

This time we stayed for two weeks. We have also booked for two weeks next year as well. It is in a wonderful position with fantastic views. The cottage has everything to make a fantastic holiday. The beds and bedding are so comfortable. It was beautifully clean with everything we needed when we arrived,including scones with jam and cream. A vase of fresh flowers and Nickie even left us a saffron cake the second week. Thank you Ed and Nickie for another wonderful holiday. Linda and Pearl.

This was our third year staying at Roosters.

We come because we love the location, accommodation always spotless and comfortable. Our dog loves it too and we look forward to staying again.

The cottage was well equipped and comfortable, the welcome pack of the cream teas, Cornish wine tea & coffee, milk and very nice touch and was delicious.

The only disadvantage is a departure time of 9am as little bit early.

A very clean cottage in a good location.

Very helpful owner. We would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to stay there

Everything we needed was at hand.

Very pleasant and helpful owners who were always at hand if we needed them, and to offer advice about locality. The honey they produce is absolutely tasty. Roosters is a superb place to access many super walks and all the attractions that Cornwall has to offer.

A beautiful cottage and surroundings.

Ed and Nicky, the owners, are lovely people and make you feel at home straight away. Next time we come to Cornwall we will book this cottage again. Fab.

Lovely base to explore the local area!

Well equipped and comfortable. Great location with lots to see and do. Kids had a great time - they particularly liked being ‘downstairs’ with their own floor. We were grateful for the scones on our arrival - very welcome after a long journey. Lostwithiel is a little gem of a town - loved the riverside. Thank you for a great holiday!

lovely cottage - private, comfortable, great for dogs - friendly helpful owners

Wonderful holiday, perfect cottage for our needs.

Very well equipped, comfortable accommodation. Small fenced, private patio with seating in sunny spot. Although rural and quiet, the location was good with shops, cafés and take-away places a short distance away although some would deliver too. Convenient for visiting beaches and tourist attractions. Owners extremely helpful.

Thank you for such a lovely stay at roosters!

Perfect location for North Cornwall and we was welcomed with many yummy goodies! The fenced patio area was perfect for our pup, and the grounds are beautiful. The cottage was fully equipped for a comfortable stressfree week away. Would recommend to anyone!

A wonderful place to stay fantastically situated amazing scenery out your bedroom windows and very comfy beds.

Ed and Nicky made us very welcome and definitely recommend buying their honey. Would definitely go back will recommend to friends and family.

Roosters was everything myself and sister in law could hope for and more.

The beds and bedding were luxurious and we both slept so well. I had the advantage of the upstairs bedroom with a small balcony. The views were so lovely from every window. The owners were lovely and friendly but not intrusive. The best holiday I have ever had. I will be recommending roosters to my friends and family. Linda Maiden.

Just wonderful!

Roosters was exactly what we wanted, a cute character cottage on a lovely small holding. Beautiful gardens, ponds and very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided, so no need to take any household items with you. Scones, jan, clotted cream, wine & milk await you on arrival. Flowers to greet you. Ed was very helpful and looked after us well. He clearly works very hard to maintain this beautiful place. There is a pony, 2 dogs, a sheep, cat & 2 tortoises to keep the kids busy. 10 minutes drive to Bodmin, 34 mins to the north coast, loads to see & do all around. The perfect location for your holiday!! Thank you!!

Had a lovely stay at roosters.

Beautiful surroundings with an abundance of wildlife. Well situated to explore area.

Apart from the weather everything was excellent.

Wifi and tv reception was no problem,nice field and garden to walk the dog and being greeted by Tara the pony with her friend the family sheep each day was a bonus,also Meg and Gizzie the farm dogs.Google maps directions gps a must,out of date gps systems get confused in this area.Edward and Nicky very nice hosts.Scones and cream on the table and wine in the fridge very welcome on arrival after close to 7 hour drive from Cardiff due to motorway closure just thankful not to be involved in the accident.

Rooster gave us everything we needed.

Lovely setting and very comfortable. We appreciated the welcome goodies too. Very peaceful and enjoyable stay.

Stayed 3-10 September 2022 Absolutely recommend this cottage, peaceful surrounded by open land that we were encouraged to explore.

Host, Ed made us very welcome and the added touches were the flowers, bottle of wine and cream tea left for us. Accommodation was lovely and the beds extremely comfortable, gorgeous sheets! TV reception was poor but this didn’t concern us as we didn’t intend to watch TV until the Queen died on out last night and we wanted to catch up on the news. Only slight criticism is the wording in the description which says “one mile to the shops “ whilst this is true, I feel it should mention that it is down a long and windy road with no pavement either side which made walking to it quite difficult..This was pointed out by the Ed when we arrived but it should perhaps be in the initial information. Would definitely stay at Roosters again. Julie, Gary, Mark and Ann

Our family had a lovely weeks stay at Roosters, the accommodation is really nice and in such a tranquil place, which is an ideal base for visiting the local areas such as The Eden Project, Fowey, St Ives, Polkerris beach (our favourite).

The owners Ed & Nicky are very friendly and there if you need anything (which we didn’t), and we also loved the fact they had pets, my daughters really enjoyed fishing in the pond everyday too. Thanks so much

We had a great week at Roosters.

Everything we needed was provided (including towels for the dog). Beautiful quiet location. Lots of places to visit within easy reach by car. We definitely will come back to Roosters.

Beautiful location and very peaceful.

Owners were very pleasant and not intrusive. The only complaint was that the bed downstairs was far too hard for me (also no Wifi in this room). Would return to this property in future.

It was a pleasure to return to Roosters for a very quiet & comfortable week.

It is a very comfortable cottage in a beautiful location with plenty of things to do within easy reach but without the bustle of the coastal villages.

Roosters had everything we needed.

The property has been prepared to a very high standard and sits in a quiet rural environment. Without doubt the kitchen facilities and the cooking equipment is the best I have encountered in a self catering property. There is enough to do within a one hour drive to keep you entertained and informed for many, many weeks. What a shame we were only there for one!

We had such a wonderful stay at Roosters, there was a huge amount of space for us to relax and the cottage was super cosy.

The bathrooms are fantastic and the bed in the master bedroom unbelievably comfy! Thank you to Ed and Nicky for the lovely welcome treats, they were very much appreciated. (A note for future travellers, there is now a hairdryer in the master bedroom).

Wonderful find and thoroughly enjoyed after 4 attempts at getting there due to Covid lockdowns etc.

Well worth the wait though, an excellent little cottage with great views and peaceful surroundings, owned and managed by a really lovely, welcoming and friendly couple who were there when we needed them but in no way obtrusive. Situated in easy reach of the tourist venues but far enough away to be relaxed and comfortable. Hope to return.

One of the best holiday cottages that we've stayed in!

This is a beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings.

It was immaculate when we arrived and the owners had left us scones and clotted cream, along with milk and wine in the fridge, very thoughtful. We have never stayed in such comfortable accommodation before - the bedding and towels smelled so fresh and of a superb quality. Centrally located to visit alot of Cornwall. A beautiful stay and we would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for such an enjoyable holiday

Our stay at Roosters was fantastic.

The owners made us feel so welcome; they were so kind and generous to even leave fresh scones and all needed for breakfast next morning, which was much appreciated as we arrived late. They also left a bottle of Cornish white for us, really kind. They were really helpful answering all our questions and also provided us with a fantastic information pack. The property was spotless clean and it had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable; the outdoor gardens were beautiful and we loved the beauty and privacy of the terrace garden; we could even play some football wih our child there. We also liked that we were close to a different array of amenities so everyday we could visit some place of interest after enjoying a relaxed breakfast. We will definetely come back. Only thing I would say is that the description of the property on Sykes doesn't make it justice.

The cottage and surrounding areas were far better than we were expecting, we had a brilliant relaxing holiday.

We have just returned from a wonderfully quiet week at Roosters.

It is the first time that we have spent any time in Cornwall and are now captivated. I do think that we struck lucky here - the cottage is very comfortable, well equipped & if we go anywhere else, they will have a hard act to follow.

Lovely peaceful setting , lovely accommodation, Hosts very friendly and helpful.

Would love to stay again. Recommended.

Excellent property, clean and warm with all facilities you are likely to need.

Very pleasant indeed with an unobtrusive host anxious to help if required. The location is second to none being rural but central for the sights of central Cornwall, and near to the very pleasant town of Lostwithiel, handy for local shopping etc. We spent a week here and were very happy to do so, highly recommended holiday cottage.

We found 'Roosters' a delightful place to stay which certainly met up with our expectations.

So well presented, and spotlessly clean and fresh and beautiful bed linen and towels! The field we were allowed to walk our dogs in was ideal for their early morning run! We had a wonderful stay despite the rainy weather, and found the location excellent for visiting places around Cornwall. On arrival there was a welcoming cream tea awaiting us and bottle of wine in the fridge which was really appreciated. I took my own hairdryer as saw in a previous review there wasn't one, so perhaps that would be nice to have one there in case. Would certainly recommend to friends! Nicky and Roger Carter

Disappointed given the rating and the glowing reviews, this wasn't our experience.

The general cleanliness was poor and the facilities for a 5 star rating compared to previous 5 star accommodation is below what we were expecting.

We were delighted with Roosters.

It far exceeded our expectations. Our hosts seemed to have thought of everything for our convenience and comfort. We felt very welcome and comfortable and would certainly recommend it to all of our friends and family.

Roosters is a beautiful place, spotlessly clean & central for lots of places.

It is very dog friendly, with a small enclosed garden which was ample for our two retrievers , a large field with sheep and a beautiful pond which we were aloud to walk around with our dogs on lead. There was everything we needed at Roosters, except a hairdryer, so make sure you take one. The village is a 15/20 min walk away down a windy country road, and has 3 pubs, bakery, antique shops & a co op for any essentials. Would highly recommend Roosters , and would love to return.

Family just returned from the best equipped and cleanest holiday cottage that we have ever stayed at.

The most welcoming hosts with a cream tea, and milk ready for a cuppa after our journey and a bottle of Cornish wine and a vase of welcoming flowers. Roosters is located in a really tranquil area yet within an easy journey to the many sights of Cornwall. We visited Lanhydrock, Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and many different beaches and fishing villages. Probably the highlight for our 4 year was the delight of roaming free to feed the fish, a carrot or two for Tara the pony, juicy lettuce leaves for the tortoises, a cuddle and a run with Meg and Gizzi (the 2 dogs). Thank you Ed and Nicki for sharing your peaceful corner of Cornwall - nothing was too much trouble. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Lovely touch when entering the barn conversion to receive complimentary scones, jam and cream, also a bottle of wine.

A wonderful location and a beautifully appointed cottage.

Lots of goodies to welcome guests. Large field with pond which you are welcome to walk round. Only problem is the very long, steep, uphill walk back from the nearest pub!!

Roosters is situated in an idyllic location - it is tucked away and is very peaceful yet within easy driving distance of all popular attractions.

Met on arrival by Ed and warmly welcomed with delicious cream tea. Roosters is a real home away from home and offers all you could possibly want on holiday. Comfortable beds and pillows and the most luxurious towels! The perfect spot for a relaxing week. Although weather could have been better we were able to get around on the narrow and steep roads without much difficulty . Although The Eden Project is definitely worth visiting we thought it was over-rated. However, the Lost Gardens of Heligan was the highlight of our week and worth every penny. Enjoyed many lovely coastal walks. Would definitely recommend Roosters as the perfect place to stay

We had a fantastic holiday at Roosters!

Nicky and Ed had done everything possible to make us feel welcome. A cream tea, bottle of cornish wine and beautiful bunch of flowers were left for us to enjoy on arrival. The cottage was spotless and very well equiped for cooking. The beds were extremely comfortable with lovely down quilts, and the shower and wetroom were a great treat in the mornings. The dog loved running about in the fields each day and we loved our stay in Cornwall. Lostwithiel is a great location and a beautiful town.

Arrived early due to good travelling to find everything ready with flowers, cream tea,milk, and a bottle of wine!

. Really comfortable cottage and located in a quiet area. Lovely walks and lots to do within a 30 minutes. We definitely recommend and definitely re-book fantastic and thank you so much Ed.

Roosters is absolutely beautiful and in a lovely setting.

Was met by Ed the owner who was very helpful loved it so much I have booked again for next year!

‘Rooster ‘ cottage , is such a beautiful cottage ,in a lovely setting .

It was everything we could wish for. Ed and Nicky were amazing host and Ed was very helpful. Very dog friendly which was our main concern. I will be recommending ‘Rooster’ cottage to friends and family. The booking and communication from Sykes , I will also recommend.

Roosters is ideally situated for those wishing to explore this part of Cornwall.

The cottage is extremely comfortable, well equipped and we were given a very warm welcome by the owners. There are many lovely walks in the area, and both the south and north coasts are easily accessible. We were blessed with beautiful weather during our week's stay, making the views on our walks stunning.Some of the hills in the area are fairly steep, so I was pleased I had packed my hiking pole, and the exercise helped to justify the delicious cream teas! To summarise we had a very relaxing week in a beautiful cottage, and hope to return in the future.

Roosters is just brilliant!

Quiet, comfortable and a gorgeous location, Ed greeted us on arrival and my daughters loved roaming the farmstead, feeding the fish in Ed's pond and talking to the extremely friendly Meg the collie. Lostwithiel itself is just down the hill from the farm, you can park for free and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming and canoeing in the beautiful and clean river Fowey. Eden project and the Lost Gardens of Helligan are very close by as is the lovely Looe, all in all a fantastic holiday, I cannot recommend Rooster highly enough.

This is an outstanding cottage in beautiful surroundings well appointed with all you could need .

The owners are very discreet yet always on hand if required 5 mins to lostwithiel in car not very safe walking to it though due to no pavements The only reason I'm not giving full marks for comfort is the beds downstairs are a bit firm Would not hesitate to recommend Steve

Charging admin fees

This cottage has no cupboard space for food and no freezer which isn’t good for self catering accommodation

The cottage was lovely, a fairly rural location but only a drive away from great locations like Eden, Charlestown and Carlyon Bay beach.

So peaceful and a real home from home.

Loved everything about it.

The owner was friendly and very helpful.

Accommodation was great and would highly recommend it.
