1 Rose Cottages

Walking up to the cottage’s was very clean garden kept nice and clean nothing out of place.

Opened the door instantly you can see the cleanliness of the place and they made every effort to give you a welcoming factor. Living room/dinning room was good for how small room was clearly but a lot of thought into it. Kitchen had everything you need to cook anything you needed got confused about electric oven a bit as never used one but wasn’t hard to work out once found the instructions under the tv. Bedroom was fantastic clean and bed was hard but also comfy. Only down side is the pillows but not a major issue. Plenty of space for cloths if you wanted to unpack. Bathroom was great shower had a lot of pressure what I didn’t expect Garden was same as from well present and looked after. There is a wonderful little cafe up the road I woudl suggest every visit that

Lovely cottage.

This was the fourth time we have used this cottage and enjoy the quiet of the surroundings and the facilities provided. Ideal for a couple - lots of room inside and a good, secluded garden. Own parking space a bonus!!

Perfect little cottage, with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay.

Great location, within easy reach of lovely places such as Polperro,Looe & Fowey, not to mention the South West Coast Path which you can get to, walking from the house.

1 rose cottage is a hidden gem.

To look from the outside you might be more impressed by no.s 2-4 that have the pretty frontages, but no. 1 tucked away on the end is like stepping into a secret witches cottage. It’s a delight! The small private garden at the back is a wildlife haven with a host of birds visiting if you bring along some bird food and a feeder with you. We had greenfinches, goldfinches, blue tits and woodpeckers as well as a family of baby squirrels and a hedgehog. It’s the perfect location for getting to some beautiful Cornish villages and bays and of course walking the south west coast path. Be mindful that the walk to Polperro may only be 3-4 miles but that stretch of coast path is challenging. We walked back via the lanes which made it doable. The other way to Polruan is easier. We love coming to Rose Cottage and have booked again for next year.

Had an amazing weeks stay at rose cottage small and comfortable 1 bed chocolate box,carefully modernized with original interior and garden throughout stones throw from small cove beach and historic church I will return many thanks DEREK FLETCHER

Comfortable cottage in beautiful location away from the crowds.

The decor and furnishings were sympathetic to the style and age of the building - simple, functionable and comfortable. We loved the garden - like an extension of the wildflower hedgerows and think it would be a shame to make them too tidy and suburban. Great walks. We really appreciated a washing machine and even a clothesline to dry our clothes in the sunshine. Thank you for a great stay.

Lovely cosy cottage in a peaceful setting.

Fantastic walks from the doorstep

The property was clean and tidy with good facilities, there is however a problem with damp on the ground floor.

Because the storage heating is turned off between guests the property felt cold on arrival. The garden is in need of maintenance. The guest information book was useful. Despite the negatives mentioned above, I did have a pleasant stay, it was a good base to explore the local coast line and I enjoyed the jeopardy of meeting traffic coming in the opposite direction on the single track roads, great fun.

Beautiful cottage!

We would stay again at any time. It was spotlessly clean and in a very beautiful tiny village. The church is fantastic to visit and there is a very quirky van parked up the road, it does great pizzas. All in all, a proper country getaway and worth a visit!

Lovely stay in a great location, loved the little beach down the road.

Cottage was cozy and well equipped, perfect for 2 people.

The property was very clean and comfortable.

It had everything that you would need.

The cottage is in a lovely location next to the bus stop and the woodland walk which leads to the spectacular costal path.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with everything we required for our stay. It was also lovely to have the opportunity to meet Fiona, who owns the cottage, and find out more about its history. We had a very enjoyable stay and would certainly recommend it to anyone considering a visit to the area.

I have stayed at No 1 Rose Cottage before and therefore feel that my thoughts are significant.

There’s a lot that is good here as it’s in a lovely position close to Lansallos beach and other pretty villages. The cottage has a garden which is a bonus but the gardens front and back were unkempt. Also the garden furniture which appears to be the same as 3 years ago is very tired and rusting. If I’d remembered I’d have taken my own duvet as the one supplied is a heavy solid thing. I would have marked ‘facilities’ higher but maintenance brought the score down and it’s a pity that the very pinkness of the painted cottages as a whole was clearly unfinished with large areas of prepared but unpainted rendering. Don’t think I’m being picky, appearances are important to me and so it reduced my enjoyment.

Its a wonderful, quiet and restful place.

No passing traffic noise at all. The Gardens are well kept and a delight to sit in and relax (weather permitting) The standard of the cottages are high and they are clean and welcoming. Phone signal is not the easiest, but for some of us who want a complete break, this was more than welcome too.

Wonderful cottage.

A really good size for two, well appointed and so quiet! This was our third stay in this particular cottage and our fourth overall in Rose Cottages, so they must be doing something right!

We have had a lovely stay in this delightful, quaint cottage.

It was equipped with everything that we needed.

What a little gem no.

1 is! Very private and lovely little garden. Please can we have a bird feeder? We loved watching the birds from the garden

Very cosy cottage well maintained and clean newly painted we really felt home from home will visit next year because of the high standard .

had a fantastic holiday. Kind regards mally and Helen

We had a wonderful holiday at 1 Rose Cottages.

The cottage was very comfortable, clean and bright and is in a lovely location. There's a nice little garden area to sit out in. The local bus stops by the church which is very close to the cottage and we found this useful for linear walks. We were glad we didn't need to use the car during our holiday as the roads are very narrow. A big thank you to the owners who have decorated, furnished and equipped the cottage so well.

Very peaceful, comfortable, clean, felt very relaxed

Rarement vu un cottage aussi confortable, bien équipé et au calme !

!!! Une semaine comme à la maison....tout était parfait, nous recommandons .

We had a lovely holiday at the small hamlet of Lansallos - away from the crowds.

The walk down to the NT beach was magical; on our first evening we had the whole cove to ourselves. It's a perfect base for walking sections of the South West Coastal Path. If you want a village with a pub, shops, sandy beach etc, then look elsewhere. The cottage was lovely and had its own parking space. Would recommend.

The beautiful,seemingly small, two berth cottage that proved to be one of the most comfortable and roomy cottages we have ever stayed in.

With plenty of home comforts, a well appointed compact kitchen, a large dual aspect bedroom, a well designed bathroom and a private garden, this cottage was a welcome surprise. The location was also exceptional, a quiet wooded, backwater,steeped in history, that gave access to the coast either by road to nearby Polruan or Polperro or on foot down the steep footpaths to the sea coves of Lansallos. ( note these walks are not for folks with mobility issues.) All in all a highly recommendable cottage.

Great Cottage Good Condition we loved it

Wonderful property, well appointed and excellently cleaned.

We stayed in this cottage last year and were so impressed, we had to book it again! Would highly recommend it to all, as long as we can have it for next year!!

Had a lovely stay in this cottage, clean, tidy and spacious, very quiet area.

A great base to explore the south of Cornwall, we would definitely recommend staying here. Nice walk down to Lansallos beach, not so nice walking back, very steep and uneven but it was worth it.

This was the best cottage we have visited in over 20 years.

Everything was spot on and we really enjoyed our holiday.

A wonderful cottage in a great rural location.

lovely inside every thing was thought of for your comfort and enjoyment

Wonderful little cottages no complaints with cottage at all.

Must say most suitable for quite getaway with lovely walks.

The usual high standards of Sykes holiday lets as been maintained: the place was super clean and well equipped, very comfortable double bed, good hot shower, small garden and when the antiquated wall heaters got their act together it was a very cosy.

One consequence of the village being 95% second home & holiday lets is that it was quiet - the main attractions were the village beach a 20 minute walk away past the permanently locked ancient church and superb coastal paths to Polperro and Polruan (for the ferry to Fowey). Such rural isolation comes at a price: the nearest pub was at Polperro (The Blue Peter highly recommended), the nearest supermarket was a Spar shop 3 miles away at Pelynt and all the buses to the nearest stop (Crumplehorn) from Looe, Plymouth and Liskeard cease by 7pm. Highly recommended.

Cottage was cosy relaxing had all we needed.

I did suggest last time we visited you during October 2016 that perhaps a roller blind over kitchen door would be nice. Basically for privacy and during the darker evenings would be more cosier. However that is a small suggestion. On the whole we had a very enjoyable stay and the cottage was pristine. Thank you. We will definitely come again if we decide to come to Cornwall again. X

Absolutely Lovely cottage, very clean, it had everything we needed.

Only downfall that we have is TV had alot of crackling noise like interference and that there's no shop or pub nearby. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Much better than photos suggest.

Very well equipped and very clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely little cottage which was cosy and spacious for 2 with everything we needed.

The location was perfect with spectacular walks along the coast path in each direction. The local beach was also stunning and very quiet. Good combination of strenuous walks and relaxing beaches.

Lovely little cottage which is spotless and has everything you need.

Near to Polperro and Looe and most places within easy reach. Bus service runs every few hours to main towns The location is very peaceful, but you need to be aware that you need to go down a 3 mile mainly single track lane to get to it with limited pull ins. The drive is not for the faint-hearted!

Superb cottage.

Very clean, well equipped. Great amount of room and storage. Ideal for two. Excellent shower!

I loved 1 Rose Cottage cottage, which exceeded my expectations.

Very clean, very comfortable and very quiet, with everything I could want. Perfect to unplug, hike the SWCP and enjoy some quiet rest and relaxation. I will be back! My only bug-bear - particular to me perhaps - please take down the notice that blames COVID for not having a plug for the washing machine. Covid is over, no longer an excuse for anything at all, let alone the lack of a single kitchen plug.

Clean, well equipped, quaint, thank you, we would like to return.

A good place to rest and spend a week on exploring the coastal hiking trails like us do.

The rooms are not big, but cosy. The heat rack in the bathroom doesn’t seem to work, but the cottage is sufficiently heated and insulated so the bathroom doesn’t feel cold at all. The 4 miles long single traffic roads are tricky especially in foggy rainy days, so it’s better to pick up enough grocery on your way to the cottage

Instead of 2 tv’s it would be nice to have 1 decent size tv.

I rate this as a downside to my stay. I have been staying at No 2 Rose cottage for a number of years and thought I would try no1 now the kids holiday with their mates. It’s isolated, narrow roads but if sensible this is not a problem. New cleaner since our last visit and she does an exceptional job, cannot fault the cleanliness. Had problems with the windows, 1 bracket broken on Kitchen window. Living room window mechanisms came undone and we were unable to shut window. Simple fix but had no tools with me. Bought a screw driver and fixed window.

We loved our stay at 1 Rose Cottage.

It's a lovely cottage in a tiny village with two floors and a little garden and everything you need for a great base. Our little daughter especially loved the stairs and the garden, as we live in a flat and she hadn't seen either really (shes 17 months, honestly had the time of her life climbing the 10 steps again and again). The nearby villages of Polporo, Loo and Fowey are all special in different ways and we found it straightforward driving about from here. The beach is quite a track, but really worth while going down to! Great holiday, lovely cottage, would definatly recommend and hope to go back one day

Loved the lightness of the cottage.

Mostly well equipped but with an emphasis on cleaning equipment? It was everywhere! I do not consider a holiday to be a holiday if cleaning is to be part of it. Of course I want my space to be nice for me to be in … but two vacuum cleaners? Would far rather have had the space all that took up by having a small dishwasher. Also, the message sent by Sykes cottages on my penultimate day hoping that I had had a “fabulous stay” was barely into the second sentence before I was being “reminded of how I should leave the cottage”, “safe and clean and tidy”! I think you’re asking too much of your guests when you also insist on a 9am departure … leaving 8 hours for the cottage to be prepped for the next guests. You realise that the last morning is therefore spent in a state of early packing, tidying, etc etc destroying the chance of a last lingering, enjoyable breakfast during which we could have reflected on how sad we were to leave … no chance. If your reasoning is that your cleaner has to prepare all 4 cottages in that time then perhaps you should employ more cleaners.

This a beautiful cottage, very comfortable well kept and well equipped.

I couldn't have asked for any more.

This was our second stay at 1 Rose Cottages.

This time friends joined us next door at No 2. Weather not as good this time but we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had lots of walks along the coastal path and trips to nearby Looe, Polperro and Polruan via the brilliant little buses. Spring flowers along the way were beautiful. We recommend the Hall Walk from Polruan to Fowey including 2 ferries and a lunch stop at the Old Ferry Inn, Bodinnick. We love this cottage which is brilliant for 2, so comfortable and well-equipped with big shared garden, adequate parking and pub and shop several miles away. But beware, it is isolated and down many very narrow lanes! We had an issue with a draughty window (had to have heating on despite it being May), which we reported but it wasn't dealt with during our stay. However we definitely recommend.

Wonderful cottage

Perfect for a couple wanting a quiet romantic getaway.

Well looked after and thoughtfully modernised. Clean and attractive.

We absolutely loved the cottage, and the garden.

Bed comfy, kitchen fully equipped and it was lovely and warm. It was in a perfect location for us to walk and go birdwatching everyday. The walks to Polperro and Polruan were spectacular. Thank you so much

The Cottage 1 for couple, is lovely and has mod cons, but failed to mention that the Lane to the cottage is on a long single Lane with pull in sections for oncoming cars!

The parking is quite tight with high bank next to the gate of cottage 4. The arrival time was 4pm and leaving was 9 am we really lost a day of our holiday and yes I know about COVID but find this a poor excuse! The couch and armchair we found uncomfortable and the bed was awful and made sleeping hard due to the mattress being hard, leaving me with back and hip pain! The info says just outside Polperro, yes it is, but….as you need to travel down long winding narrow lanes with occasional pull in sections to get to Polperro which is something quite scary at times! which I feel needs to be included in the information, not only cars we encountered, but single decker buses and if I’d have know this I wouldn’t have booked here! Sat Nav is useless. After this experience I would not go to Cornwall again.

This is an excellent cottage.

The garden was sunny and private and there are now named parking spaces, though those for no. 1 and 2 are very tight for space. This is a very well thought out cottage which has been renovated beautifully. We would love to come again.

Beautiful cottage in a great location.

Spotlessly clean with everything needed for a self catering break. Parking is a little tricky if you have an above average sized car but ok with a little manoeuvring! perfectly located for short distance trips to Looe & Polperro. All in all a lovely holiday.

Cottage was as per advertisement, website easy to use, kept updated on the booking, check in and check out instructions clear

Although rather isolated in terms of immediate facilities and down some very narrow lanes that tests one's nerve and reversing skills (!

), this cottage is brilliant for a comfortable and relaxing holiday away from it all. The coastal path and beach are readily accessible and if you want to venture further there's a bus service to Looe and Polperro, with further facilities in Liskeard and beyond. There's parking and plenty of garden space and the cottage itself is very well equipped. We would definitely return.

Lovely cottage as described with nice sunny garden in quiet village.

Big bedroom, small kitchen but well equipped and served our needs. Walk to the beach is hard going for anyone not physically fit. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

This cottage was absolutely brilliant and we could not have asked for anything better.

It was equipped with everything we could have needed and was idea for the two of us on our first visit to Cornwall together. The size of the living area, the bedroom and bathroom were perfect and the outside was of a good size too. The price represented great value for money and we were very sad to leave what had become our home for the week we stayed there the day we had to leave. Thanks to the owners who certainly have a beautiful cottage and have provided their guests with a lovely setting for the duration of the stay. Would have been nice to have a slightly larger TV in the lounge and a slightly deeper bath but these were very minor issues in what was a fantastic weeks stay. Would love to return again at some time thank you for an amazing stay!

We walked in through the front door and were instantly impressed.

This is lovely cottage in every respect, and we could find no faults with it. The bed was the most comfortable we have experienced in many years of using Sykes Cottages. Often properties can be faulted for lack of storage space, but not this one. Even the bathroom had a vanity unit and wall cabinet. We met the owner, and it was obvious that she was passionate about the cottages, since they had been in her family for a long time. It was a great base for visiting the many places of interest both locally, Polperro, and further afield, and was only a 1/2 mile downhill track to a lovely cove and the S W coast path, so no shortage of walks (though the path back up is fairly steep). Very highly recommended.

The cottage was fine, comfortable, well cared for and spotlessly clean.

However it was advertised on the Sykes website as having a washing machine, and it hasn't.

Best compliment i can give this property is I could live there ,perfect

We were a bit apprehensive about going away during the current situation with Covid-19.

Having said that we had the most relax holiday in a number of years. The cottage was perfect for us. It was clean and all the facilities were perfect. Fabulous location for local walks and a short drive to Polperro and Looe if you wanted to go out for an evening meal, we are hoping to return there again.

We have stayed at No 1 Rose Cottages previously so we knew what to expect.

It had changed very little, there is pretty much everything you need and it is clean and well maintained, however the carpets could do with a thorough deep clean. There is extensive garden space at the back of the four cottages but only a small area allocated to No 1. When we stayed previously it was pleasant to sit in the garden in the early morning/late afternoon sun, however due to the growth of the hedge and a tree at the bottom of the gardens it is now in shade most of the day. There is an issue with parking. There is only supposed to be parking for 1 car per cottage, however there were already four cars when we arrived. The parking space is small, little more than a verge marked 'parking for Rose Cottages' and the lane is very narrow. We found on this stay that someone staying in one of the cottages would always be parked at an angle making it easy for them to get out, but very hard for others to park. It would really benefit from four clearly marked spaces with cottage numbers.
