• "The house itself is beautiful and the location idyllic, so peaceful."

  We had some lovely goodies from the cider farm on our arrival which were really nice. Unfortunately that’s where it ends. The smell of urine on the furniture and carpets was overwhelming and the first thing we did was go out and buy air fresheners and candles, we put our a throw over the sofa as it was stained and didn’t feel pleasent. We tried to cook in the kitchen but the extractor doesn’t work so all the alarms go of unless you have windows and doors open. We reported this by phone but never received any reply. The outside back door light doesn’t work and it feels very dark entering the property that way, which we did because there is the utility and coat hangers there. The second week my son complained of a rash on his arms and back, to our horror we discovered bed bugs in his bed. He changed rooms but that was the same. He had to sleep on the sofa downstairs. There is cobwebs all over the velux windows, while one is high the others are within easy reach and need to be cleaned. The shower whilst big needs bleaching around the bottom as there is black discolouration on the sealant. This would be an amazing place if it wasn’t for the cleanliness.

• "We loved our stay here!"

  The kids (10, 12, 13) had a great time with the pool table and there was plenty of space for the grown-ups (me, my husband, BIL, FIL) to hide from the noise. Excellent garden for the dogs, lovely furnishing inside the house, well-stocked kitchen. There are a few small things we would have liked - my husband and I both have quite sensitive skin so had to wash our sheets because they were either cleaned in biological washing powder or heavily starched. A washing line in the garden would have been really useful (the one in the downstairs loo didn’t have enough room) and a recycling schedule pinned somewhere would have been helpful (or for the management company to keep an eye on it) - we looked it up on Cornwall council’s website but clearly other recent guests had not so there was a bit of a backlog outside. These are really small things though, and we’d totally recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in the area - especially if they love Rattler like we do!

• "We stayed there two years ago and had a lovely time so we chose to stay there again this time but this time we felt that that standards had dropped."

  It was musky and damp and very little evidence that any maintenance had been done since our last visit.

• "We have had the most amazing week, the house was more than my expectations, it's absolutely stunning, even Harry the Highland cow our neighbour popped by to say hello."

  We were a family of 5 adults 2 children and a dog amd it was perfect in size for us all. You are within easy reach of beaches and shops but set far enough out that it's peaceful and beautiful. The house had everything we needed and more. The personal touch of jams, cider,wine and flowers made it it so welcoming when we arrived. None of us wanted to go home, we will definitely be back again next year.

• "Four adults, a toddler, a baby & a dog had the most amazing time here."

  House has everything you need and more. If you forget it don’t worry, it’ll be here. Fresh flowers on the table and milk in the fridge on arrival was a beautiful touch. The house is stunning, comfortable and the enclosed front garden is ideal for keeping dogs & children safe. We loved the games table and became air hockey champions. Owners were in touch by email before our stay and were very friendly and helpful. Really is a beautiful base for any Cornish adventures. We all absolutely loved our stay and will definitely book again if we find ourselves in that neck of the woods.

• "Beggars roost is stunning house set in the tranquil and beautiful Cornish countryside ."

  From the moment you arrive you are greeted by the sounds of birds singing and the sounds of the local wildlife. Waking up in the morning for breakfast we were lucky enough to see a squirrel playing in the tree outside the window .In the evening when the sun goes down have a glass of wine, sit outside and watch the bats fly around. As there is no light pollution the stars on a clear night are phenomenal, You are close to beautiful Cornish beaches and coastal walks .The house is very clean and tidy and very well equipped for families ,you are next Healeys an award-winning Cornish Cyder producer ,They have an amazing restaurant that has friendly staff and accommodates for many dietary needs. Overall this was such amazing stay we have booked again for next year thank you.

• "We had a lovely stay at Beggars Roost."

  The property has plenty of space and catered for all our needs. The dryer was broken upon arrival however the owner rectified the situation by the next morning. Overall the property was clean, a couple of worn areas but that did not impact our stay at all. The table in the kitchen was sticky although clean, my suggestion would be it needs to be sanded and oiled. The games table was very handy especially with the Cornish weather. The property is right next to an active graveyard, so something to bear in mind with those that are sensitive to it. We had a lovely stay and had a lovely welcome gift from the Cyder farm.

• "The property was spacious, in a nice location and we thoroughly enjoyed the sports table."

  However, we are sadly unlikely to return to this property due to many other factors. The property was dirty. Dust and dead flies everywhere. We spoke to the property manager whilst there and they organised for cleaners come after our visit to more thoroughly clean the property. We were however not financially compensated for this. It took us, as a large family, around six hours to clean the property to a standard that we felt we could relax in. We’re not fussy people either. It was very dirty. Some other notes - broken tin opener, rusty cooking tins and heavily worn coasters. The property lacked basics such as washing up products, black bags, dish washer tablets, milk, coffee, tea, etc. It is a shame as the property has so much potential. If it were significantly cleaner and more essentials were provided then I would recommend.

• "We had a lovely stay at Beggars Roost."

  It's quiet but handy for Perranporth and the coastal footpath. Much of the character of the old chapel and Sunday school has been retained and we loved the light pouring through the arched windows. We really liked the galleried bedroom and the general feeling of space. A couple of peacocks visited the garden on our last day as if to wish us well. Beggars Roost is clean and well-looked after. You have everything you need for a great stay - even a games room! Highly recommended.

• "Beggars roost is an interesting property with lots of space ."

  I booked it for Xmas and it worked out well for 6 people. It is overlooking an active cemetery which is worth being aware of ,I felt I was intruding on families visiting there loved ones at times. It was a bonus the property had a games area , playing pool was a highlight. Be careful with the fridge it seems to over freeze . A good time was had at beggars roost and I’m sure in the summer is a great base for visiting other places. Only real criticism we paid a lot as it was Xmas time and would have appreciated a welcome pack which is always a nice touch when you first arrive at a new holiday property ,we were left some milk and couple of bottles of cider from the cider barn but know welcome… enjoy your stay …. Or maybe some tea bags and bread would have been a nice touch and one often done in other places I’ve stayed . That said it was good fun to get away at Christmas for a nice change

• "Wonderful accommodation: comfortable, welcoming and spacious."

  Our 13 and 11 year olds were particularly appreciative of the air hockey and pool table! The kitchen was well equipped, although we did eat out quite a bit - breakfast and cream teas at Healeys are a must! The only niggle was that the fridge was so cold that foods and liquids froze, despite the setting being on the warmest temperature. We’re already looking forward to planning a return visit next year.

  The location was perfect, 7 minutes from St Agnes and 7 minutes from Perranporth’s amazing Dog friendly Beach. The bedrooms were all a good size and the beds extremely comfortable. The Garden was lovely to relax in and very safe for dogs and we all enjoyed the games room in the evening and the kitchen was a great size and well equipped. Just a suggestion to the owner as this property can take up to 8 people I would suggest that the garden had a larger more comfortable table and chairs for outdoor eating and some more fold up chairs for relaxing in the garden, and more pegs for the washing line

  The chapel is beautiful, very comfortable and is by far the best equipped we have ever stayed in. Extremely comfortable beds. The welcome gifts of cider & jam were a lovely touch, as was the milk ready for that essential cup of tea after a long drive. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions brought on by the coronavirus we didn't get to see as much of the area as we wanted to or enjoy a cream tea at Healey's but we still had a good time. If you are looking for a real escape from the hectic life we all live these days I recommend you book Beggars Roost.

  It is spacious with beautiful decor. There were six adults, a four month old baby and a dog in our party and we all settled in very quickly and were very sad to leave. The games area was well used and it was lovely to have two comfortable areas to sit. There was unlimited hot water which makes a difference when six need to shower. Outside we enjoyed breakfast on the picnic bench watching the Highland cows in the field next door and listening to the peacocks and the donkeys at the Cyder Centre. Blissful! A welcome tray was left with many Healeys goodies and a voucher for cream teas! Such a nice touch.We will definitely return.

• "We had an enjoyable holiday and the owner Georgie was really lovely and helpful, but this cottage is new to the holiday let market after years as a long term let, and it was suffering teething problems."

  As a cottage for 2 people it was fine, but larger groups of upto 8 people might not enjoy this as much. The sitting room needs a reconfiguration. It has only 2 sofas (one of which is broken with a sunken seat) and only one of these faces the TV. We had to move a side table, bring in a lamp from the games room, and lay an extension lead so we could plug the lamp in. The owner offered to try to fix the sofa whilst we were out, but leaving an elderly dog alone with a workman wasn’t feasible. The garden furniture consists of a wooden bench/table and umbrella which you see in pub gardens. This was uncomfortable for reading so I recommend you take your own camp chairs if you want to enjoy the afternoon and early evening sun in the front garden. The back garden is the Chapel’s cemetery which can be accessed via a separate driveway. The 2 chairs in the games room are very very deep (like a fixed recliner) and not good for anyone with a bad back! The alternative seating was church pews by the pool table which were (by design!) uncomfortable. I took to the rocking chair in the 3rd bedroom when I wanted to read quietly, but sadly a swarm of bees escaped from a hive in the neighbouring orchard and took up residence in that bedroom (via a gap around the Velux window) and a wall of the Chapel. The bedroom floor was covered in dead bees as it was very hot in there that week. We were asked to open the Velux window so they could escape, and keep the bedroom door closed!! That meant the other bedrooms were hot and stuffy as we daren’t leave a window open for fear that the bees might prefer those bedrooms!! Not sure how they resolved that problem as the bee expert was there as we booked out. The double beds in 2 of the 3 bedrooms are two single mattresses pushed together. Bizarrely they appear to have mixed up the ‘firm’ and ‘soft’ mattresses, and there was one of each in the 2nd & 3rd bedrooms. Ok if the sleeping partners have different preferences for their mattresses, but may require a shuffling of mattresses if both want firm or soft. The only tv in the Chapel is in the living room, so custody of the remote control amongst 8 guests might cause issues! There appeared to be an unused aerial cable in the games room so you could take your own portable tv. The books and DVDs mentioned as being available were AWOL, as was the ‘welcome package’ provided by the owners for the cleaners to lay out but not there when we arrived. Georgie apologised and provided this when she came to inspect the bee problem as we booked out. But a takeaway ‘Cornish Cream tea’ to eat at home (with scones which were sadly very stale by the evening) was not the same as using the provided voucher for a sit down Cream tea with scones fresh out of the oven at the adjoining Healeys Cyder Farm. However the 3 bottles of different Cyders, the large bottle of Cornish apple juice and the jar of Strawberry jam (all made by Healeys Cyder farm) were wonderful. It was an eventful week at the Chapel, but the lovely weather, the proximity of the beach and facilities at Perranporth and the access to major A roads meant we did not need to spend that much time in the Chapel and the ongoing irritations could be avoided.

  Everything you could've needed was provided. Fittings and fixtures of very high quality. Extremely comfortable and massive beds. Lovely selection of ciders and jam from Healey's Cider Farm. Unfortunately, we never got a chance to tour the farm and redeem our free cream tea voucher. The graveyard wasn't at all creepy, more peaceful. Looked out the window one day to see a pair of peacocks strolling down the central path. Very peaceful location. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.
