• "This was the second time my sister in law and myself have stayed at roosters."

  This time we stayed for two weeks. We have also booked for two weeks next year as well. It is in a wonderful position with fantastic views. The cottage has everything to make a fantastic holiday. The beds and bedding are so comfortable. It was beautifully clean with everything we needed when we arrived,including scones with jam and cream. A vase of fresh flowers and Nickie even left us a saffron cake the second week. Thank you Ed and Nickie for another wonderful holiday. Linda and Pearl.

• "The cottage was well equipped and comfortable, the welcome pack of the cream teas, Cornish wine tea & coffee, milk and very nice touch and was delicious."

  The only disadvantage is a departure time of 9am as little bit early.

• "Everything we needed was at hand."

  Very pleasant and helpful owners who were always at hand if we needed them, and to offer advice about locality. The honey they produce is absolutely tasty. Roosters is a superb place to access many super walks and all the attractions that Cornwall has to offer.

• "Lovely base to explore the local area!"

  Well equipped and comfortable. Great location with lots to see and do. Kids had a great time - they particularly liked being ‘downstairs’ with their own floor. We were grateful for the scones on our arrival - very welcome after a long journey. Lostwithiel is a little gem of a town - loved the riverside. Thank you for a great holiday!

• "Wonderful holiday, perfect cottage for our needs."

  Very well equipped, comfortable accommodation. Small fenced, private patio with seating in sunny spot. Although rural and quiet, the location was good with shops, cafés and take-away places a short distance away although some would deliver too. Convenient for visiting beaches and tourist attractions. Owners extremely helpful.

• "Roosters was everything myself and sister in law could hope for and more."

  The beds and bedding were luxurious and we both slept so well. I had the advantage of the upstairs bedroom with a small balcony. The views were so lovely from every window. The owners were lovely and friendly but not intrusive. The best holiday I have ever had. I will be recommending roosters to my friends and family. Linda Maiden.

• "Just wonderful!"

  Roosters was exactly what we wanted, a cute character cottage on a lovely small holding. Beautiful gardens, ponds and very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided, so no need to take any household items with you. Scones, jan, clotted cream, wine & milk await you on arrival. Flowers to greet you. Ed was very helpful and looked after us well. He clearly works very hard to maintain this beautiful place. There is a pony, 2 dogs, a sheep, cat & 2 tortoises to keep the kids busy. 10 minutes drive to Bodmin, 34 mins to the north coast, loads to see & do all around. The perfect location for your holiday!! Thank you!!

• "Stayed 3-10 September 2022 Absolutely recommend this cottage, peaceful surrounded by open land that we were encouraged to explore."

  Host, Ed made us very welcome and the added touches were the flowers, bottle of wine and cream tea left for us. Accommodation was lovely and the beds extremely comfortable, gorgeous sheets! TV reception was poor but this didn’t concern us as we didn’t intend to watch TV until the Queen died on out last night and we wanted to catch up on the news. Only slight criticism is the wording in the description which says “one mile to the shops “ whilst this is true, I feel it should mention that it is down a long and windy road with no pavement either side which made walking to it quite difficult..This was pointed out by the Ed when we arrived but it should perhaps be in the initial information. Would definitely stay at Roosters again. Julie, Gary, Mark and Ann

  The owners Ed & Nicky are very friendly and there if you need anything (which we didn’t), and we also loved the fact they had pets, my daughters really enjoyed fishing in the pond everyday too. Thanks so much

• "Roosters had everything we needed."

  The property has been prepared to a very high standard and sits in a quiet rural environment. Without doubt the kitchen facilities and the cooking equipment is the best I have encountered in a self catering property. There is enough to do within a one hour drive to keep you entertained and informed for many, many weeks. What a shame we were only there for one!

• "Wonderful find and thoroughly enjoyed after 4 attempts at getting there due to Covid lockdowns etc."

  Well worth the wait though, an excellent little cottage with great views and peaceful surroundings, owned and managed by a really lovely, welcoming and friendly couple who were there when we needed them but in no way obtrusive. Situated in easy reach of the tourist venues but far enough away to be relaxed and comfortable. Hope to return.

• "Our stay at Roosters was fantastic."

  The owners made us feel so welcome; they were so kind and generous to even leave fresh scones and all needed for breakfast next morning, which was much appreciated as we arrived late. They also left a bottle of Cornish white for us, really kind. They were really helpful answering all our questions and also provided us with a fantastic information pack. The property was spotless clean and it had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable; the outdoor gardens were beautiful and we loved the beauty and privacy of the terrace garden; we could even play some football wih our child there. We also liked that we were close to a different array of amenities so everyday we could visit some place of interest after enjoying a relaxed breakfast. We will definetely come back. Only thing I would say is that the description of the property on Sykes doesn't make it justice.

  Very pleasant indeed with an unobtrusive host anxious to help if required. The location is second to none being rural but central for the sights of central Cornwall, and near to the very pleasant town of Lostwithiel, handy for local shopping etc. We spent a week here and were very happy to do so, highly recommended holiday cottage.

• "We found 'Roosters' a delightful place to stay which certainly met up with our expectations."

  So well presented, and spotlessly clean and fresh and beautiful bed linen and towels! The field we were allowed to walk our dogs in was ideal for their early morning run! We had a wonderful stay despite the rainy weather, and found the location excellent for visiting places around Cornwall. On arrival there was a welcoming cream tea awaiting us and bottle of wine in the fridge which was really appreciated. I took my own hairdryer as saw in a previous review there wasn't one, so perhaps that would be nice to have one there in case. Would certainly recommend to friends! Nicky and Roger Carter

  It is very dog friendly, with a small enclosed garden which was ample for our two retrievers , a large field with sheep and a beautiful pond which we were aloud to walk around with our dogs on lead. There was everything we needed at Roosters, except a hairdryer, so make sure you take one. The village is a 15/20 min walk away down a windy country road, and has 3 pubs, bakery, antique shops & a co op for any essentials. Would highly recommend Roosters , and would love to return.

• "Family just returned from the best equipped and cleanest holiday cottage that we have ever stayed at."

  The most welcoming hosts with a cream tea, and milk ready for a cuppa after our journey and a bottle of Cornish wine and a vase of welcoming flowers. Roosters is located in a really tranquil area yet within an easy journey to the many sights of Cornwall. We visited Lanhydrock, Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and many different beaches and fishing villages. Probably the highlight for our 4 year was the delight of roaming free to feed the fish, a carrot or two for Tara the pony, juicy lettuce leaves for the tortoises, a cuddle and a run with Meg and Gizzi (the 2 dogs). Thank you Ed and Nicki for sharing your peaceful corner of Cornwall - nothing was too much trouble. Would not hesitate to recommend.

• "Roosters is situated in an idyllic location - it is tucked away and is very peaceful yet within easy driving distance of all popular attractions."

  Met on arrival by Ed and warmly welcomed with delicious cream tea. Roosters is a real home away from home and offers all you could possibly want on holiday. Comfortable beds and pillows and the most luxurious towels! The perfect spot for a relaxing week. Although weather could have been better we were able to get around on the narrow and steep roads without much difficulty . Although The Eden Project is definitely worth visiting we thought it was over-rated. However, the Lost Gardens of Heligan was the highlight of our week and worth every penny. Enjoyed many lovely coastal walks. Would definitely recommend Roosters as the perfect place to stay

  Nicky and Ed had done everything possible to make us feel welcome. A cream tea, bottle of cornish wine and beautiful bunch of flowers were left for us to enjoy on arrival. The cottage was spotless and very well equiped for cooking. The beds were extremely comfortable with lovely down quilts, and the shower and wetroom were a great treat in the mornings. The dog loved running about in the fields each day and we loved our stay in Cornwall. Lostwithiel is a great location and a beautiful town.

  The cottage is extremely comfortable, well equipped and we were given a very warm welcome by the owners. There are many lovely walks in the area, and both the south and north coasts are easily accessible. We were blessed with beautiful weather during our week's stay, making the views on our walks stunning.Some of the hills in the area are fairly steep, so I was pleased I had packed my hiking pole, and the exercise helped to justify the delicious cream teas! To summarise we had a very relaxing week in a beautiful cottage, and hope to return in the future.

• "Roosters is just brilliant!"

  Quiet, comfortable and a gorgeous location, Ed greeted us on arrival and my daughters loved roaming the farmstead, feeding the fish in Ed's pond and talking to the extremely friendly Meg the collie. Lostwithiel itself is just down the hill from the farm, you can park for free and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming and canoeing in the beautiful and clean river Fowey. Eden project and the Lost Gardens of Helligan are very close by as is the lovely Looe, all in all a fantastic holiday, I cannot recommend Rooster highly enough.
