"Absolutely lovely stay and such a lovely welcome too."
The cottage is spotless, huge and has everything you could need. The hot tub was a huge plus and the kids loved it - and the big field too - very good for kite flying! Helping to feed the alpacas, lambs and chickens made my daughter's holiday too. Couldn't fault the place at all; it's one of our favourite places we've stayed in 25 years of cottages in Cornwall. The Roseland is beautiful and very peaceful, even in high season. We will be back!

"After reading the reviews, and viewing the pictures online we thought we knew what to expect when we arrived, However the reviews and pictures don't do the cottage justice."
The cottage had everything you needed and more, so much thought and detail has gone into the renovation. We were met by Sarah, who was warm and welcoming. The lovely surprise hidden under the cake tin was very appreciated. Scones, cookies, flapjacks, fresh bread, homemade jan, cream, milk and cornish butter. We have to say, these were delicious. Both Mike and Sarah are easily contactable, they checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were happy. Absolutely fantastic hosts. The dogs loved the large secure field. The walk down to Messack Point is a must. The view is breathtaking. We had a fantastic stay in Cornwall, we visited several beaches, including Towan, Pendower and Carlyon Bay. Jet skiing at Carlyon Bay is a definite! We booked with Cornwall Waverunner, Amazing experience with the bonus of seeing 2 pods of Dolphins. Then a pop along to Charlestown Harbour where Doc Martin was filmed amongst others St Ives, Lands End and Tintagel Castle are definitely worth a visit along with Via Ferrata for the ZipWire. We did have an Emergency vet trip, due to one of the doggies enjoying the sea a little too much, ending up with frozen tail oh and a hospital visit after a fall in St Ives (no alcohol involved, this time!)

"The photos do not do the cottage justice it’s so beautiful and the surroundings are stunning."
All the little details were the ones that meant so much to us, the welcome pack the towels and all the little extras that you forget to pack. The owners Mike and sarah are so lovely and make you so welcome we would definitely book again and highly recommend karadow especially to families as it’s ideal for kids plenty of space inside and outdoors. We loved it!!!!
Hi Tina. Thank you for your kind feedback. It was great to meet you, Paul and the gang and we’re glad you had the chance to relax after such a long journey. We’d love to welcome you back if you’re ever down this way again (as would our furry friends!). Take care. Mike, Sarah and family. Property Owner

"Super stay with everything you could wish for in a cottage!"
Excellent quality to everything available, right down to the potato peeler (yes we did have Sunday roast!)
Location was perfect, not just for the Roseland and St Mawes but generally the rest of Cornwall due to the King Harry Ferry.
Thanks Mike & Sarah for having us and the pooches!
Hi Debbie - we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the feedback. It was great to have you all to stay - including your four-legged friends. Glad you got to explore the best Cornwall has to offer! Property Owner

Super comfortable beds and all the creature comforts in a home from home. Plenty of room for kids to play safely. Excellent location to explore the best that our South Coast can offer. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Hi Marie-Claire - we had so much fun meeting you all. The boys were very sad to see you all leave, but we're glad you had a great couple of weeks with some cracking weather. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us! Property Owner

"Well what can I say, the pictures for starters don’t do the property any justice."
What lovely clean, comfortable, spacious and modern home, felt like home really.
The hot tub was a little on the hot side temperature wise but Mike was very accommodating and turned it down for us. There is a secure paddock behind the house with direct access onto with lots of space for our dog to run around in. We throughly enjoyed a game of table tennis too.
But for us the position and the walks around the accommodation were breath taking.
One of the best places we have stayed in Cornwall and hopefully one day will return.
Thanks Mike and family for making our holiday after a hard year very relaxing

"Amazing property."
Peaceful, restful, exactly what we needed.
Hosts very nice, very kind & helpful if needed anything but also respect your privacy. Facilities all very good, shower especially good & the beds gave us all very good nights sleep. Great garden/hot tub for the children & the dog too. Very clean all round & fitted out with quality furnishings. A top holiday cottage for sure 100%

"Karadow is just the perfect place for a perfect holiday."
Well situated for anywhere in Cornwall as long as you don’t mind a drive. Nice walks on your doorstep and plenty to do in nearby St Mawes, where we kayaked. If your wanting to surf or body board you need to be on the other side of Cornwall, but everywhere is easily accessible.
Never felt so relaxed and at home in a holiday cottage, it’s beautiful and takes your breath away. The hot tub is the added bonus to such a nice house. Michael and Sarah are wonderful hosts and on hand to help with anything. Fantastic stay so much so we’ve booked for next year already.

"What an amazing place to stay!"
The cottage was spotlessly clean and tidy, very well equipped and exceeded all of our expectations. The owners were super helpful, lots of tips of where to go and quick to respond if we needed anything. The hot tub was a winner with the children and adults. We’ve had such a relaxing week- just what we needed after the recent months of chaos! Thank you!

"We wanted somewhere we could all switch off from home life, relax & enjoy some quality time together."
We loved time in the hot tub, the kids seemed to chat for England in there, just perfect. The decor was beautiful, we enjoyed cooking here as we had everything we needed, just like home from home. The owners were so friendly, thoughtful & helpful. We had a cream tea waiting, my fave & left a bottle of bubbles for me to enjoy for my birthday. The walk & views surrounding the cottage are worth checking out. We would love to return one day. Thankyou for everything.

Could not fault this holiday very good location and the private hot tub was the cherry on top. I would highly recommend staying here. We had our two year old with us and he loved going out for walks, to the Zoo and beach. The perfect place for a romantic get away or a family holiday.

"Wenn wir nur ein Wort zur Verfügung hätten, dann würden wir sagen: "Sensationell!"
"
Als erstes ein ganz großes Dankeschön an die beiden Gastgeber, die uns so herzlich und liebevoll aufgenommen haben, immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite standen und mit denen wir auch im Laufe der Woche das ein oder andere private Gespräch hatten :-)
Ich bin wirklich nicht überschwänglich, aber ich müßte lügen, wenn es uns an irgendetwas gefehlt hätte: ein eigener Parkplatz vor dem Haus, ein schönes Willkommens-Paket mit regionalen Leckereien, ein super modernes und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus, in der Küche fehlte es an gar nichts. Und lacht nicht, wir haben uns jetzt in Deutschland sogar die Töpfe nachgekauft, weil sie so gut waren!! Ein riesiger Smart-TV, Ledercouchen, sehr große und vor allem moderne Badezimmer. Und für uns auch ganz wichtig die wirklich großen Betten und die hochwertigen Matratzen… Rückenschmerzen ade :-D
Aber das Beste kommt noch… auf einer der beiden Terrassen stand das große Hot Tub. Obwohl wir beide keine Wasserratten sind, waren wir jeden (!) Abend bis zu 3 Stunden darin und haben bis tief in die Nacht die Sterne gezählt. Es ist so wahnsinnig ruhig dort, keine Autogeräusche, nichts. Stattdessen ein riesiger Garten, in dem wir im Laufe der Woche sogar ein Reh gesehen haben!
Liebe Sarah, lieber Mike… ihr beide habt alles richtig gemacht und bei euch ist was richtig Tolles entstanden. Tatsächlich habt ihr uns in vielen Dingen inspiriert und wir möchten euch hiermit nochmals für eine tolle Woche danken.
An alle anderen: bedenkenlos mieten… ankommen… wohl fühlen :-)
---
If we could tell you our experience in one word, it would be "sensational!"
First a big thank you to the two hosts, who have welcomed us so warmly and lovely, always with help and advice to the side and with whom we also had one or the other private conversation during the week :-)
I'm not really exuberant, but I would have to lie if we had missed anything: a private parking lot in front of the house, a nice welcome pack of regional food, a super modern and tastefully decorated house, lacking in the kitchen nothing at all. And do not laugh, we even bought the same pots in Germany because they were so good!! A huge smart TV, leather couches, very large and above all modern bathrooms. And for us also very important the really big beds and the high-quality mattresses ... Goodbye back pain :-D
But the best of all ... on one of the two terraces was the large hot tub. Although we are both no water rats, we were every (!) evening up to 3 hours in it and have counted the stars until the night. It is so quiet there, no car sounds, nothing. Instead, a huge garden where we even saw a deer during the week!
Dear Sarah, dear Mike ... you both did everything right and you have created something great. In fact, you have inspired us in many ways and we would like to thank you again for a great week.
To everyone else: rent without hesitation ... arrive ... feel good :-)

"We have just returned from a weeks holiday staying in Karadow,which is a beautifully converted barn."
It has a very well equipped kitchen, everything is brand new, the longe and bedrooms are bright,modern and airy. The bathrooms have excellent showers, bonus having a w/c and shower room downstairs.This doubled as a utilility room,with washing machine.
The welcome tray of cream tea, with strawberries, Cornish biscuits, proper creamy local milk as well as tea, coffee etc. There was also dog treats, a couple of sachets of dog food, poo bags and 2 bowls, much appreciated.The owners love dogs and have a friendly little Terrier.
The gardens are well kept and nicely planted,the front garden was a paved enclosed area with a picnic table, the back garden, also enclosed, had rattan furniture, sun lounger and badminton rackets etc.Beyond the garden was a massive play area/ dog walking area. It had Table tennis, a football area and benches and more picnic tables.There are lovely walks in 8 acres of grounds including down to the sea.There was an abundance of birds and even saw a Roe Deer one evening
Our Hosts Michael and Sarah were charming and knowledgeable about the area.Even offering to drive us to the local pub and back.
The Roseland Pennisular is a beautiful area to explore, with St.Mawes and Falmouth only a few miles away.
Thouroughly enjoyed our stay at Karadow, thankyou Micheal and Sarah.
