• "We stayed at Skiber with 2 older teens and a large dog and it was spacious, well-equipped and comfortable."

  Mike was really hospitable and helpful. I've never seen such an amazing welcome pack! The shared field at the back of the two rental properties is huge, enclosed and perfect for everyone to run off some energy. Plenty of parking too and in a great location.

  Hi Jen, we’re glad you had a great stay. Must get the photos updated! Thanks for the feedback. Property Owner

• "Mike made us very welcome from the moment we arrived."

  He showed us around the property and explained the location of the property and local walks. The adjacent field was very useful for our energetic dog and the hot tub at the end of the day after a fabulous walk was wonderful. The location was private, quiet and peaceful, in short, this cottage is beautifully appointed, spacious, comfortable and an absolute gem, we will definitely return next year.

  Thank you for the kind feedback. It was a pleasure to welcome you all and we’re glad you had the chance to recharge and burn off some off Nessa’s energy! Look forward to welcoming you back next year. Mike, Sarah and family. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely welcome from Mike on arrival to Skiber."

  The cottage was lovely and very comfortable and after a week spent at Skiber we felt very chilled. During our stay we met the gardener who went out of his way to introduce us to the Alpacas and Sheep. Big thankyou to all at Messack.

  Thanks, Richard. It was lovely to welcome you both to Messack and we're really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope the animals were well behaved when you met them.... Property Owner

• "It was a lovely property, very comfortable and clean."

  Brilliant location in a very lovely part of Cornwall. Mike the owner was extremely helpful and provided an excellent welcome pack including cakes, scones, clotted cream etc. Mike called a few days before we were due to arrive and asked if there was anything we needed which was great. Lovely walks straight from the doorstep. The large enclosed field at the rear of the property was great for our new puppy to romp in. St. Mawes a few miles away was very pleasant and relaxing. Would highly recommend staying at Skiber!!!!

  Hello David. Thank you for the kind feedback. It was great to meet you both and we're glad you had a relaxing and comfortable stay (and that you managed to run the puppy off a little!). Property Owner

• "Wow, we loved every minute of a relaxing break in this gorgeous cottage."

  The weather blessed us with glorious sunshine which only highlighted the beautiful surroundings. Picturesque walks in every direction with sights and scenery galore, or a short car journey to some amazing beaches and delightful villages. The cottage itself is even better than the pictures with every detail thought of, the dog just loved the additional field beyond the garden that was an added bonus. Thank you Mike and Sarah for a memorable holiday

  Hi Lindsay. Thanks for your feedback. We’re glad you had a good holiday (and such cracking weather too!). Cheers. Property Owner

• "This was our second visit to Skiber and it was just as wonderful two years later."

  Such a superbly peaceful location and just a short car ride to the fab beaches on the Roseland and the lovely St Mawes. The house is kept to a high standard and the owners are perfect! We will be back again.

• "The cottage is much better than the photos, the owner has done work to make the gardens more private and the adjoining field suitable for children and dogs."

  Definitely update the photos! The owners were next door and very helpful. Plus the location was superb, you really don’t have to travel far to have a different walk each day. The beds are hard, which isn’t a problem, but we’re a little too firm for us. This didn’t affect our holiday though.

• "Skiber was definately a five star plus."

  The converted barn was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, very well equiped with everday needs. On arrival we met the owner (Mike) who was very welcoming and full of information about the area. The welcome hamper was absolutely out of this world, with flap jacks, scones, buns, clotted cream, jam and a pint of milk. Not to mention dog treats! Our kids (13 & 11) were thrilled with the huge playing field over the garden gate, which had swings, climbing frame and table tennis. Not to mention the huge hot tub on our decking area! The location was perfect and was in the most beautiful setting, as it was away from any hussle and bussle, but you could easily get to places in the car. The King Harry Ferry was just down the road which was ideal for nipping across the river or there were lots of boats from St Mawes to various places too. The owners have kindly loaded a 'mussel' card with credit so you don't even have to pay full prices on the boats! This place was most definately a piece of heaven for both ourselves and the kids. The Roseland penninsula is place we had never been before, but after our wonderful experience here, we will certainly visit again. Thank you Mike and Sarah for letting us stay in your beautiful house.

• "Had a wonderful stay at Skiber cottage."

  Cottage is immaculate inside and out. Peaceful location with stunning walks to St Just Church and Pasco’s boatyard (go when the tide’s in!) and Messack Point and hardly a person in sight! St Mawes only ten minutes in the car and reasonable car parking prices. Victory Inn to eat is highly recommended. Some great beaches nearby almost all dog friendly and not over populated at all. Mike and Sarah are really pleasant and were on hand if we needed them but other than that you wouldn’t know they were there! The most relaxing weeks holiday we’ve had in a long time.

• "We had a wonderful week staying at Skiber."

  The property was very clean and comfortable and it was located in a stunning area. The Roseland peninsula is a little gem of of Cornwall that we had not explored before and we loved everything it had to offer. Sarah and Mike were ideal hosts and it was good to know they were nearby if we needed anything. We would definitely recommended this property to others and we will hopefully be back again in the near future. (Please do not publish this next sentence) We were not sure if the “double bedroom with king size bed” was actually a king size bed but rather a double?

  Our booking experience was easy and we had all the information we needed. Sarah and Mike are excellent hosts, welcoming and accommodating and every little detail had been thought about in this beautiful cottage. We had a wonderful 10 days, absolutely loved the Roseland and surrounding area and local beaches, and equally loved just being in the cottage relaxing. It was great to have the jacuzzi and we made good use of it. Did some lovely local walks with great views. Would definitely recommend this place, came home feeling truly relaxed. It really is a lovely property, decorated to a high standard, with everything you could need and more. We would love to return in the future. Thank you to Sarah and Mike fir the excellent accommodation.

  Skiber has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. It is now tastefully decorated and furnished, and it is equipped with every mod con. The hot tub was a real treat. The cottage is located down a quiet lane which gives access to peaceful and beautiful walks from the front door. The view across the estuary from the extensive and well maintained gardens is stunning.

  It was so special for us that I ended up asking my partner to marry me whilst on holiday. The hot tub is perfectly situated in your own private garden at the side of the property along side some artificial grass and sun loungers and picnic bench. I hope everyone who stays embraces all there is to do in st just and st mawes and also the walks along messack point!! You won't be disappointed :) :)
