• "We had a great stay at Higher Roskestal."

  Wonderful rural location just minutes from the picturesque Porthgwara Cove, with excellent access to coastal paths. Great walks for us and the dog, with Seal spotting opportunities. The cottage was peaceful, comfortable with plenty of space inside and in the garden. The views of the open countryside and the sea in the distance were a joy to wake up to in the morning. In addition, although the location was right by Porthgwara Cove, it still allowed us easy access to all the other places of interest in the area. Will definitely return soon. Tony, Sheena and family.

• "Wonderful location…enjoyed the views and all the grass around the house only wish we had the kids or dogs to enjoy it more but just us two old cronies…we had some concern over the diesel fumes in laundry room."

  One assumes the boiler is serviced regularly…also the other room near front door was more than wiffy couldn’t use that room… As with many properties we have stayed in over the years a job for me to find a comfortable seat…mostly too soft and low down. I shouldn’t be 6 foot tall with arthritis in knees preventing from easily getting up and down.. The beds comfortable though so I did survive ! I wondered wether the floors had been washed as I washed the kitchen one and the water was black..the mop was very heavy too needs lots of muscle..Apart from that we thought the hamper VERY GENEROUS. and all things Cornish Thank you for that and milk and bread etc…shelf in fridge door needs some glue…thanks Norah Cutts

  Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated and we will certainly pass on your comments regarding the cleanliness and fridge maintenance to the housekeeping team. I can confirm the boiler is serviced regularly with our maintenance team but I will certainly let them know the smell of fumes, thank you for bringing that to our attention. We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the welcome hamper and we hope you visit us again soon. Property Owner

• "Lovely stone farmhouse."

  Clean and cosy, distant sea views from most windows. Fabulous walks from the door, 10 minute walk to local cove. 25 minute walk to Nanjizel, a beautiful white sand and boulder beach, great for swimming and snorkelling. 3 mile walk to Lands End, for ice cream and dolphin watching. The maintenance company let the side down a little bit, one of the outside bins had obviously not been emptied for a very long time, this was done while we were there, a broken light fitting was due to be fixed, but the workman turned up forgetting to bring the relevant part!!! But otherwise just fabulous, especially for walkers and sea swimming. If you want pubs, restaurants and shopping it’s not for you!

• "Excellent Cottage!"

  We absolutely loved our stay at Higher Roskestal, perfect location a short walk from Porthgwarra cove & café. Cottage was very clean & tidy and had absolutely everything you could want, including a lovely welcome hamper with essentials to get you started. The communication was excellent and any info we needed we got no problem, staff at the cafe are really welcoming and lovely also. We will definitely be returning, more than likely to the same cottage :-)

• "We had a fantastic stay at Higher Roskestal!"

  The weather was a massive bonus as we didn’t expect to see the sunshine. We’ve been to Porthgwarra several times and love it there, the beach (when the tide is out) is small but perfect for a doggy dip and play. The house was lovely, fantastic bathroom in the main bedroom and huge bed. Everything we needed was there including a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, perfect. The halogen hob took a bit of getting used to but we got there. The hamper of goodies was most welcome and delicious bread and scones. The garden is great for relaxing and lovely thick grass so no mud even on the few wet days we had. It is bordered by a stone wall but not secure for our pointer who could easily disappear, which he did a few times, so take a long line if you have a pup who likes to chase the birds or cats. The seating area under the kitchen window is a great sun trap as it does get a little breezy. A flat area for the other table and chairs would make it nicer to enjoy the garden when the sun’s going down but still a beautiful garden with amazing views towards St Levan. Take the binoculars if you like a bit of boat spotting, the sea view from the lounge is panoramic! The most relaxing cottage break we’ve had, and we’ve had lots! Highly recommended if you want some down time.

• "A wonderful character property, perfect for our break."

  It hasn’t everything you could need, great size rooms, modern bathrooms but retaining the heart of the property, log fire, utility room, great kitchen and a garden that is epic. Ideally situated near the porthgwarra cove and all the best beaches in the world. St Aubyns kept in touch throughout and looked after us, highly recommended.
