  • "We had a lovely holiday at The Roost the cottage was very comfortable clean and well equipped."

    The owners were very helpful regarding local information and very friendly. The Roost is very well situated for visiting all of western Cornwall including coastal areas and we would have no hesitation in recommending it

  • "Our second stay in The Roost and just as good as last year."

    Ideal location; very quiet rural area with reasonable nearby access to Godrevy and Gwithian beaches, very comfortable (particularly needed this year when storm Betty thundered through!) and delightful and welcoming hosts; not forgetting Bobby, the Eurasian-eagle owl! Highly recommend and hoping to return next year.

    Thank you! It’s our pleasure to host you.! Kind regards Belinda & Alan Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely relaxing week at The Roost."

    Alan and Belinda were so friendly and welcoming and the fresh flowers and cream tea were a lovely surprise! The Roost is well placed to visit all of southern Cornwall and there was lots of useful info provided for places to visit and eating out. It was a nice comfortable base to return to after a day out and we enjoyed relaxing on the terrace in the evenings. We’ll definitely be back!

  • "The Roost was exactly as advertised."

    A beautiful little place to stay to unwind and destress. In a secluded spot but not far from places to visit. Belinda and Ian were delightful. Extremely friendly and very helpful. We learnt a lot about owls and lorikeets! Definitely recommend this delightful place to stay.

  • "Our second visit to this 5* holiday accommodation."

    Hosts Belinda and Alan are lovely and very helpful. You won’t be disappointed staying here. There are so many thoughtful extras. A yummy cream tea and fresh flowers greet you on arrival. If you want a peaceful holiday with nice accommodation and perfectly positioned to visit the delights of West Cornwall then book The Roost!

  • "Wir haben den Aufenthalt im Roost sehr genossen."

    Belinda war eine sehr zuvorkommende Gastgeberin und hat uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Wir konnten im Garten sitzen und auf der separaten Terrasse grillen. Bob der Uhu hat uns immer begrüßt, wenn wir kamen. Scheinbar funktioniert die Sternebewertung oben nicht richtig. Wir würden trotz Kleinigkeit 5 Sterne geben. Die "Kleinigkeit": Die Dusche ist sehr eng, aber machbar. Nichts für Leute, die sich nicht gut bewegen können. Auch für Rollstuhlfahrer nicht geeignet. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren. The Roost finden: Auf keinen Fall Google Maps nehmen, kann mit der Adresse nichts anfangen. Immer What3Words.com, dann maple.fund.emeralds!

    The Jar of Jam, Tub of Cream, Bread, Butter and Milk was also unexpected. A big thank you. If you wish to visit Cornwall The "Roost" is a must destination for your stay. Also a big thank you to the staff at Sykes

  • "A gem of a find."

    Lovely holiday cottage definitely 5*. On arrival a Cornish cream tea was waiting for us with beautiful roses and homemade jam. Our hosts were so nice and helpful. Belinda even presented us with a bottle of bubbly and a card for our 40th wedding anniversary. The cottage had everything and more you could wish for. Very comfortable and quiet. If you want a relaxing base to explore beautiful Cornwall look no further than The Roost.

  • "Always slightly pot luck when booking a holiday cottage."

    Are the pictures current? Is it really a quiet spot? Is it a good base for exploring the area? In this case the answers are all yes. We visited the north and south coasts and Lands End easily and enjoyed our journeys. If you're not a National Trust member it may be worth joining especially if you enjoy visiting gardens. We were also happy that the owners were always available to answer questions but never knocking on the door, perfect. Finally if we were to visit the area again we would happily stay here again and thoroughly recommend The Roost to anyone looking to holiday in Cornwall.

    The sheets and towels were changed mid stay and the cottage cleaned for us. Belinda even offered to do our washing for us as there is no washing machine facilities, our clothes were washed, dried and ironed and returned the next day. The family birds were also friendly calling out to you when they saw you. This Roost is highly recommended for a visit.

    Although compact the accommodation was very nicely furnished, fitted and decorated. Very clean and situated in very pleasant garden with it's own spacious terrace and BBQ area. We were greeted by such a lovely "welcoming pack" laid out for us ! The owners are on hand if needed but do not interfere in the least. Another bonus is having an owl, hawk and parrot in garden, (caged!). The owners are most approachable, friendly and helpful. If interested in mining history get along to nearby King Edward Mine.

Today, Camborne is home to Heartlands, a community space covering 19 acres and scattered with remnants of the mining industry, providing a free space for visitors to explore the heritage of Cornwall, browse art and craft projects, stroll through the gardens and sit and share a picnic or enjoy lunch at the Red River Café. From Camborne centre you can follow an interesting town trail, or spend the afternoon in the museum before visiting the array of shops and pubs. A short drive from Camborne brings you to a wealth of sandy Cornish beaches including Portreath, Gwithian and Porthtowan.
