“Sue and John were very welcoming and provided all we needed including welcome scones and jam and milk on arrival.”

They were helpful and friendly and the cottage was lovely. The hot tub was the icing on the cake.

“The owners John and Sue were very welcoming and left us a cream tea when we arrived, which was lovely after a long day travelling.”

The cottage had everything we could possibly need for our stay from aluminium foil for the pack lunches to dish washer tablets for the machine. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the cottage was in the perfect location for our days out to the Maritime museum, Falmouth, Newquay, Eden Project, Flambards and Dairyland. Would definitely recommend and book again if we return to Cornwall.

- Mrs Danisz, September 2019
“A peaceful and well earned break and rest awaits you at the milking parlour.”

The hot tub is great even after all the bad weather we experienced. John and Sue are very pleasant and welcoming, you even get jam and scones and some milk to keep you going. Not far from the village where there is a well stocked shop. Cannot fault the parlour and we will be returning.

- Mr Cutler, September 2019
“What a brilliant holiday cottage, the owners were fabulous and very helpful.”

The location was easy to find and perfect for exploring. The cottage was clean and comfy and had everything we needed and more. There was a large grass area out the front we weren’t expecting which was just perfect for the children to play. The place was so quiet and relaxing and the hot tub was the icing on the cake! We had the most relaxing and fun holiday I think we’ve ever had and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

- Mrs Stirling, August 2019
“Fantastic!”

What a joy to stay at the Milking Parlour. Both John and Sue welcomed us with a smile and scones. The holiday bungalow has everything you need and also a lovely extra which is the hot tub! Great surroundings which offer peace and tranquility. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Cornwall with home comforts thrown in. Can’t thank John and Sue enough!

- Sharon S, July 2019
“Everything about the Milking Parlour exceeded our expectations!”

Sue and John are absolutely amazing, and nothing is too much trouble. They both make you feel so welcome to the home, especially with the lovely cream tea! The comfort, cleanliness, facilities (hot tub!), are perfect! The home is in an ideal location for touring around Cornwall. We can't wait to come back again next year.

- Miss Lucas, July 2019
“We have had a lovely refreshing and relaxing break.”

The hot tub was a bonus for our children. Nothing was too much for sue and John. We would def return.

- Mrs Hughes, July 2019
“We visited the Milk Parlour for a week, 4 adults and 2 children.”

What can I say? What a fantastic place! The owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The hot tub is amazing and with fantastic views, even the cows come to say hello. The accommodation is lovely, well equipped kitchen, bedrooms are nice too and lots of towels provided. It’s ideally situated so you can travel anywhere in Cornwall within an hour. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

- Mrs Pearsall, July 2019
“Beautiful well maintained property in a lovely quiet part of Cornwall 8 miles from St Austell and well positioned to visit all parts of Cornwall.”

Cottage was clean and had everything needed for our stay, beds were comfortable and showers had good pressure and plenty of hot water. The hot tub was a blessing after all the walking we did during the day and was totally private not overlooked. There was a huge lawn out the front for children to play which was also beautifully maintained. Had a wonderful visit and hope to return one day.

- Mrs Nelson, July 2019
“An excellent property, very clean and everything that you would need for a relaxed break.”

The Wet room is ideal for anyone with mobility problems. Perfectly positioned for touring Cornwall and as an added bonus after a long day you can relax in the hot tub. Would highly recommend 5 Stars!!

- Mr Cross, May 2019
“We had an amazing time at the Milking parler.”

The view is lovely. The piece and quite is amazing no traffic noise, just birds singing, cannot recommend this property highly enough. Sue and John are lovely people and they are very helpful in every way.x

- Mrs Gascoyne, May 2019
“What a lovely place, it feeds the soul and relaxed us.”

- Mrs mulby, October 2018
“We all (6 adults & 1 toddler) had a wonderful holiday at The Milking Parlour, Roche.”

The owners Sue & John, had thoughtfully ensured that everything one could need, was provided and even left complimentary milk, scones, cream & jam for our arrival. The location was perfect for travelling around Cornwall. Would definitely be coming back here again.

- Mrs Ray, October 2018
“A fabulous place to stay.”

Owners very friendly and helpful. Able to explore lots of places due to location. Will look at using it again in the future.

- Mrs Goodall, September 2018
“The Milking Parlour was quite simply superb!”

Excellent location which was very easy to find and given it was so central meant that we were never more than 30 mins from any of our days out. The cottage was perfect for our two families. Comfortable, clean and warm with everything you would need on hand. The conservatory doubled as a toddlers play room and of course the hot tub was a real bonus which we took advantage of pretty much every night. John and Sue were very friendly and incredibly helpful. They left us to enjoy our holiday but we’re always there if we needed a hand with anything. We ould thoroughly recommend this place and we will almost certainly be back again next year!!w

- Mr Elwick, September 2018
“John and Sue were the perfect hosts, they met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the property.”

The property was well presented and the gift of a cream tea on arrival was most appreciated. The property is well situated for touring Cornwall, after a hard days sightseeing, a dip in the hot tub is most appreciated.

- Mrs Rowlands, July 2018
“We had a lovely time at The Milking Parlour.”

Great location only 2 miles from the A30 and 1 mile from the village shops. The cottage was very well equipped. Good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. Sue and John made us feel very welcome. Our children really enjoyed seeing the cows on the farm and we all loved the hot tub. There is plenty for families to do in the area. Well worth a visit.

- Mr Dowsett, July 2018
“Situated in great location mid-way between the north and south coasts of Cornwall, The Milking Parlour is in a quiet and peaceful location and has all the modern facilities one would expect from a Sykes cottage.”

The accommodation is close to the amazing Eden Project and a short drive from the beautiful coastal villages of Padstow and Port Isaac on the north coast and Mevagissey on the south coast.

- Mr Graham, July 2018
“From the minute we arrived John and Sue made us very welcome.”

The scones cream and jam were beautiful. Everything we needed was to hand. The hot tub fantastic after a day of walking and sightseeing. Would really recommend this holiday home from home.

- Mrs Wainwright, June 2018
“Very conveniently situated for exploring Cornwall.”

Well equipped and comfortable holiday home. Loved the hot tub

- Mrs Green, May 2018
“A beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

A perfect location to visit many of Cornwall’s best places. A wonderful couple who take very good care of you, including cream teas on arrival. Everything you could need. Conservatory was perfect for either a dance or just finishing a jigsaw puzzle, both of which we did plenty.

- Mr Wallace, April 2018
“The Milking Parlour was great.”

The owners were so lovely & welcoming. The hot tub & conservatory were our favourite things. The cottage was spotless & had everything you needed & more to have a wonderful holiday.

- Mrs Fasulo, April 2018
“The milking parlour was an absolutely lovely place to stay for our weeks holiday.”

The location is so lovely and peaceful but there are so many beautiful places to get to on either coast within 25 minutes drive. I can honestly say the milking parlour is the best equipped holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. There was everything you could possibly want and need and more! It was absolutely immaculate when we arrived and the cream tea that awaited us was delicious. The owners are so friendly and helpful but not intrusive at all. We all loved the hot tub and after a long day walking on the coastal paths it was just lovely! Overall we had a great holiday and would definitely go back to this cottage and recommend Sykes cottages for the easy booking service.

- Mr Keyse, March 2018
“We had an amazing time here.”

We were met on arrival by the owners who also left us a welcome pack containing cream teas! Lovely after a long journey. The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything that you could need supplied. It is in a beautiful location overlooking the countryside and the hot tub is a bonus. John and Sue, the owners, are very friendly and helpful but unobtrusive. They are on hand if you need anything. We will definitely be returning here. It’s like a home from home only more relaxing! This has everything you need for a nice relaxing time away.

- Mrs Kelly, March 2018
“The owners could not have been more welcoming.”

Very nice property with all the mod-cons. Nicely laid out and everything you could think of was supplied by the owners. Also don't be put off by the Google street-view - it's not the building site that the view depicts, as this is now several years old.

- Mr Eve, January 2018
“Stunning !”

Central location for easy access to the whole of Cornwall , we will certainly visit again !

- Tracy F, October 2017

The property

A charming holiday home with a private hot tub, situated just outside the village of Roche, 6 miles from St Austell.

Located at the end of an unmade private farm lane with far reaching countryside views yet only one mile from the main trunk road that weaves through the entire length of Cornwall makes this an ideal touring location.

The peace and quiet that surrounds The Milking Parlour will be appreciated from the moment you arrive.

Step onto the decking that offers a great sunbathing location and houses the luxurious hot tub.

Enter the conservatory with the dining area, a lovely light airy room to enjoy your meals and then go through the open plan living room with a cosy sitting area and well-equipped kitchen which then leads you to the three bedrooms, two of which have zip and link beds giving you the option of twin beds or super king-size doubles.

The property is disabled-friendly and one of the two bathrooms has been specially adapted accordingly.

Beautifully furnished throughout this holiday home offers quality accommodation in a rural location perfect for touring Cornwall, close to the Eden Project and offers easy access to both coasts.

An ideal base for exploring all that this delightful area has to offer at any time of the year.

About the location

ROCHE

Lanivet 3 miles; Bodmin 6 miles; Wadebridge 9 miles.

Both the villages of Roche and nearby Lanivet offers a small selection of shops and pubs and are situated just off the A30, six miles from Bodmin. The area is predominantly involved with agriculture and the countryside is lush, green and undulating. Perfectly placed for touring the whole of Cornwall with the wild open spaces of Bodmin Moor just six miles away and the ruggedly beautiful north coast with its rocky coves, high cliffs and outstanding surfing beaches just thirty minutes by car. The resort town of Newquay with the new Fistral Beach surf centre and the fishing village of Padstow with its narrow streets, quaint harbour and renowned restaurants should not be missed nor should the fabulous Eden Project with its spectacular biomes full of tropical plants just four miles down the road. The south coast too is just ten miles away and trips to the shipwreck centre at Charlestown, the fishing village of Mevagissey and the beautiful Roseland peninsula should not be missed.
