“The Roost is a beautifully presented cottage with everything you could need for your stay.”

Outside is a patio and large lawned area, great for playing games with views of a stunning wild flower meadow and beyond that the sea. We stayed at the beginning of the summer holidays, but the area was quiet in stark contrast to other areas we visited. Porthallow is a charming small fishing village and a pleasent 30 minute walk down sleepy lanes from the cottage. Alan and Amanda were lovely hosts made us feel welcome with fresh scones and huge bunch of sweet peas from the garden. Thank ...

“Very nice cottage, all that you need is there.”

Very tastefully done. Some great home made scones on arrival, yum! Very pretty fresh flowers. We enjoyed out stay. The view from the patio doors across the fields to the sea were fabulous. Did the short walk to Porthallow, pretty village with a pub and cafe.

“We had a great week staying at The Roost , can’t fault the cottage at all and were made to feel very welcome by the owners Alan and Amanda As the weather was very mixed we spent more time indoors than planned but we were able to relax and watch the Euro’s and Wimbledon on the comfortable reclining sofa and look out at the beautiful view through the patio doors We got out and about too and visited the lovely local fishing villages nearby and did some of the walks we have watched on “Cornish Walking Trails” on YouTube We loved Porthallow and can recommend The Five Pilchards Pub,it’s very friendly and we had a lovely evening meal there too.”

“Ease of booking.”

Continued communication. Great accommodation and location.

“The cottage was excellent, exactly as described and the hosts were very helpful and ready to look after us if there was anything we needed.”

The location was beautiful although challenging to drive to because of the very narrow lanes leading to the cottage. The tiny lanes were to be expected and were beautiful with summer flowers but had to be negotiated slowly because of the huge number of farm vehicles also using the lanes. This was not a problem for us but something that others planning to book the cottage may wish to know. We loved the owner's art work on display in the cottage. He is really talented. One minor point. It would be good to have a full length mirror in the cottage.

“Really enjoyed our stay at The Roost.”

The cottage interior is done to a very high standard, and the views from the garden are stunning. There are a few small fishing villages within walking distance from the cottage, and the location is a great base for day trips further afield. The hosts are also lovely, very welcoming. We would happily recommend this cottage to others!

“We had a lovely week in this absolutely delightful barn conversion.”

It really is luxurious with original artwork, beautiful soft furnishings, a deep bath, comfy bed and spectacular views across farmland to the sea Situated down on the Lizard, a few miles from St Keverne, you're only a stones throw from walks with breathtaking scenery. We will definitely return at some point.

“We spent a week in this beautiful cottage.”

Amazing views and the interior was decorated to a high speck. Comfy bed and the reclining sofa was a special touch! The cottage had only just been finished and any teething problems we had then Alan and Amanda were speedy to sort. A couple of things that we found the property may benefit from is a mirror in the bedroom by a plug. I struggled to dry my hair without a mirror and also to see what clothes looked like. Added to this was the need for a tongs and poker set for the log fire. Saying this I would highly recommend this property, beautiful setting with wildlife galore, even a pheasant wondered into the garden. Alan & Amanda were helpful and lovely people. We will definitely look to return to this property if we visit Cornwall again.
