  • "This was a very well appointed accomodation."

    Vegetation at the rear could be maybe cut down a bit to give more sunlight in the lower ground floor. The TV was a complicated to ensure you got the right channels and it was dissapointing that Netflix and ITV X werent accessible easliy in its own right for the premises as we have found in other venues. However all in all this was a good accomodation. One last thing is that the entrance from the road needs attention as there is a very bad trough in the surface that is not got for the vehicles that enter akin to hitting a pothole.

    Thanks for your feedback. It is always appreciated when guests take the trouble to do so. We have been investing in the property since purchase, including new furniture, additional bathroom and new patio areas, as examples. We do have a regime of cutting the trees every two years, but will bear in mind once the season is over to see whether this should be more frequent and take on board your other comments too. Thanks again. Property Owner

    Unfortunately the cleanliness of the facilities was not good needs a good deep clean Location was excellent and local eateries where great

    Many thanks for your feedback from which we were concerned to learn of your experience. Bearing in mind the comments and high scores we have received in the past, we are unsure of why there was a problem with the cleanliness of the accommodation, but will work with our facilities company to review and ensure other visitors do not have the same experience.

    Loads of parking spaces . We would definitely stay here again

    Thanks for your feedback Richard. We have made quite a few improvements over the past 18 months. and we will add dishwashers to our next option to consider.

  • "We had a great week at Water Wheels."

    The kitchen was fully equipped with all you needed to cook each meal and we loved the 2 dining table options. The beds were very comfy with great clothes storage space in each room. Great water pressure in the shower and lovely warm water. We had to use the heaters a couple of times (it's England after all) and they gave out plenty of warmth. Lovely patio area that got the sunshine and great parking facilities. Travel cot was provided and also some milk, bread and essentials on arrival. Good location for exploring with a brilliant play area at the end of the road (need to drive to it but has parking). Par beach was only 20mins away and we would recommend Diary Park Farm for a wet day. Highly recommend a stay st Water Wheels.

You will be met by ample off-road parking on arrival, where you can leave your car before heading inside the wonderful abode.

The kitchen/diner offers all the essential appliances, including an electric cooker and four-slice toaster, needed to make nourishing meals for all to enjoy at the adjacent dining table.

The West Dry Accommodation

The West Dry Accommodation consists of six marvellous holiday homes resting on the outskirts of Roche, Cornwall. Formerly known as part of Great Wheal Prosper, a working clay dry, it has been converted into this fantastic collection of lettings you see today. As you can see, this group of properties enjoy a great deal of character, whilst also boasting TVs, access to a communal utility, ample off-road parking and their own private patios. Nearby, Roche Rock, an attraction that seems like an abandoned prop from the set of the court of King Arthur, rises dramatically from the china clay terrain to the north of St Austell. When you see the destroyed fifteenth-century church that sits on its flat summit, the mystery surrounding this tall, nearly cuboidal lump of granite is considerably heightened. When it comes to your amenities, there is a convenience store in Roche village, along with a newsagents, post office, pharmacy and hairdressers, takeaways, pasty shop, butchers and a grocery. If you're looking to treat your loved ones to a meal out, The Victoria Inn can be found just outside Roche and The Bugle Inn rests, as its name suggests, in nearby Bugle; both offer hearty meals and local ale. Be sure to venture to St Austell for an outing, with its additional amenities, along with access to the shores of Duporth, Porthpean and Carlyon Bay, St Austell Brewery and the St Austell Golf Club. There is a wealth of attractions settled within easy reach, the most notable being The Eden Project just a short drive away. The other attractions range from the Wheal Martyn Museum, Bodmin Jail and The Lost Garden of Heligan to the National Trust's Lanhydrock House, Camel Creek Adventure Park and Dairyland Farm Park; there is truly so much to see here. A fantastic stay that is brimming with history, choose The West Dry Accommodation.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

ST. AUSTELL

Charlestown 2 miles; Carlyon Bay 3 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles; Fowey 8 miles.

The old market town of St Austell, just a mile or two from the south coast, is famous as the historic centre of the china clay mining industry. Today, its many beaches and its sub-tropical gardens provide plenty to see and do. The wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are perfect for a family day out, and a little further afield Caerhays Castle provides a stunning backdrop to Porthluny Cove. On the edge of town, St Austell Brewery offers tours of the Victorian brewing equipment and a chance to sample the local beer, and for those looking for surf and sand, St Austell Bay has several beaches to choose from - Porthpean, Carlyon Bay, Pentewan, Polkerris - the last offering a variety of water-sports. As well as a small shingle beach, Charlestown, a pretty, historic port, often has wooden sailing ships in the harbour, and is popular as a film location. A little further afield are Fowey and its beautiful estuary to the east and the fishing port of Mevagissey to the west. With lots to do and something to keep the whole family entertained, St Austell is a great year-round destination.
