Contemporary converted barn, rural location very close to the coast and Falmouth

The barn has a spacious lounge area looking onto the decking where you can sit and enjoy the warm evenings watching the sunset and wildlife in our fields beyond.
The garden area is securely fenced and the car parking area is close to the cottage.
The open-planned kitchen is well equipped with plenty of space to cook whilst chatting with others.
Both bedrooms sleep two people. One of the bedrooms has two single beds with an ensuite wetroom and toilet. The other bedroom has a kingsize bed and an adjacent bathroom and toilet. We also provide a travel cot if you have a baby under the age of two.
We have 2 sheep (our lawnmowers), 6 curious hens and one friendly dog.

Countryside Cornish break

Very clean, lovely quiet location. We loved the views outside, lovely to have a small private garden. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and left us to ourselves for our stay, but close by if we needed anything.

Lovely cottage

The property was very nice and quiet for our stay and suited us perfectly as a base for our Cornwall visit. Would recommend thoroughly. The children loved the animals roaming around (especially the sheep). The fresh eggs were an especially lovely touch.

Wonderful Holiday

We had such an amazing holiday in Cornwall and staying at Rose cottage made it all the more special. The cottage had everything we needed and also had a real homely feel about it. The great Cornish weather was fantastic and the sun shines most days, which made sitting out on the deck really enjoyable. We hope to see you again soon....

Perfect

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rose Cottage, it was perfect for my Dad who is 95, no steps to negotiate! we had everything we could possibly have needed and more, we were kindly offered a shower chair for him which was very useful. The property was extremely clean and modern, the surroundings idyllic, we had a lovely restful week enjoying the fabulous weather. The decking is a lovely and useful addition for BBQ's and relaxing. We enjoyed trips to St. Ives, Falmouth and Truro, Many thanks to John and Kathryn, we will definitely return at some point in the future.

Hidden Paradise

From the genuine welcome and sweet peas prettily displayed on the dining table to the high standard of the facilities and the location, we enjoyed a perfect holiday in our very well equipped converted "cow shed". The farm location was easy to find from the directions given and we were extremely impressed with the high standards awaiting us, especially as dogs are welcome. Our hosts left plenty of helpful information and were available if we needed anything but left us to happily enjoy the delightful surroundings of our accommodation, the fields and woodland walks. The location, near to Falmouth, was lovely and in our week we managed to cover most of the Cornish coast using the good road links. We highly recommend The Shack, in Falmouth for the fresh seafood and friendly service. We have recommended Rose Cottage to family and friends and hope to return with our dogs next year!

Peaceful cottage - Bryony Cottage

This was our second visit in 2015 this cosy property. The location is ideal if you want to be out of town but not too far away, well maintained, clean and has everything you need. The weather even in Cornwall was not at it's best in December but we were cosy in the cottage, the wood burner was lit ready for us when we arrived. A lovely view of the green fields through the window. the first primroses and blossom just showing by he gate, the chickens pecking around give the property a real rural feel. The owners and their dog are very friendly and helpful, our dog Polly loves that she can go out into the enclosed garden on her own for a good sniff round, just as she does at home. Lovely cottage to relax, close enough to Falmouth, Truro, Trebah Gardens and Eden Project and in December we could take Polly on to the nearby beaches. Lovely find, would recommend.

Fantastic

We have just returned from a wonderful week at this property.. It was relaxing, quiet and very welcoming. Kathryn and John have transformed their cowshed in to two cottages that are equipped with everything you will need to have a comfortable holiday. It was spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. The sheep made a friend in our spaniel who spent a few nights watching them in the garden. The property is designed to make best use of the beautiful views and the sun and watching the sunset on an evening was lovely. The location of the cottage meant we were effectively in the middle of nowhere yet with a 2 minute drive to the main road and access to lots of places quickly. There are lots of activities to keep all ages entertained at this side of Cornwall, with some lovely beaches and NT places/gardens to visit. The kids loved the Maritime museum and had a tour around the RNLI lifeboat stationed there.There are some lovely shops in Falmouth. We also visited St Ives, Perranporth, Port Isaac and Watergate Bay. We also dropped in at Castle Drago on the way down as we were a bit early arriving in Cornwall, again this is fab inspite of building work ongoing. I can definitely recommend this property to anyone .... we took two children aged 5 and 8 who loved the field with trampolines, rope swing and room for cricket and football games. Our dog was in seventh heaven with birds to watch and rabbits to sniff!! Kathryn and John are available for advice and recommendations for places to visit, and are only a few metres away in their own property, although this does put some people off, we hardly knew they were there except for a friendly wag of a tail from their dog Meg... All in all a fabulous holiday and we shall definitely be returning.

Cosy and peaceful

We stayed at Higher Lidgey Farm and found it comfy and cosy. My Mum who uses a wheelchair or can walk short distances found it really convenient being able to be dropped right outside the door. We loved having the animals as neighbours, our puppies loved watching the sheep and the chickens kept coming for a visit. Kathryn was on hand should we need anything and was only ever a call or text away. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. Close to some lovely places but I would recommend visiting with a vehicle because it is tucked a little out of the way but with a car it only takes 10-15mins and you're in Falmouth which is a lovely place to visit. We'd definitely stay again. Thanks for having us Kathryn and family.

Lovely location

We had a great time in Cornwall, the property do have easy access to key towns and beaches. The view from the house to the field is just fantastic. Great hospitality by owners as well. The property looks slightly bigger and spotless on the pictures. We stay for 15 days, even though we got clean bed linen and towels, it would have been nice to have a cleansing service in the middle of our stay. Apart from that all good.

Staycation

Lovely base to enjoy exploring Cornwall, easy access (by car) to all main areas we wanted to visit. Very peaceful & ideal for our dog as fenced private garden for him to roam freely and watch the sheep! Our daughters 15 & 11 loved having a walk to see cows, chicken & use trampoline. We thought they may get bored but they didn’t want to leave!

Our stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage, surroundings and location were excellent. Our only slight disappointment was due to the low fencing surrounding the cottage garden as we didn’t feel that it was secure or tall enough to let our dog outside unleashed. Otherwise our experience was excellent. Many thanks for our wonderful stay

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung in ländlicher Umgebung

Die Ferienwohnung ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, super ausgestattet (inklusive Käsereibe, Sparschäler und ausreichend Töpfen und Pfannen) und war hervorragend gereinigt. Darüber hinaus machen die großen Fenster und die hohe Decke sie sehr gemütlich. Außerdem gibt es noch eine riesige Außenfläche mit Trampolin, das war für unsere Kinder super. Kathryn ist eine tolle und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
