“The DVD and tv did not work on the playroom.”

In fact the DVD in the main sitting room did not appear to work either. We are also very saddened that the price to hire next year at the same time has gone up way too high. The property is lovely, it is in a good spot but it is to be fair, tired. Also 2 tea towels are not enough.

In fact the DVD in the main sitting room did not appear to work either. We are also very saddened that the price to hire next year at the same time has gone up way too high. The property is lovely, it is in a good spot but it is to be fair, tired. Also 2 tea towels are not enough. We have loved staying here but have now found somewhere in Lerryn bigger and more updated for just about the same cost. Really sad. If the price had increased by say £100 we would have rebooked. Sadly, our memories end with this last holiday. Such a shame.

Thank you for your email, we are sorry to hear that the tv and dvd did not work for your visit. Had you contacted us during your stay we would have been more than happy to have rectified this for you. We have checked with the owner and both have been checked and appear to be working just fine. As a self catering property 2 tea towels is all that is recommended, however we would have been happy to contact the owner on your behalf to ask if more could have been provided for your stay had you let us know.

“Lovely comfortable spacious cottage with large garden set in pretty creek side village.”

- Mrs Douglas, May 2021
Mrs Ashton May 2021

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Very comfortable beds. The parking on the steep driveway is manageable but not that easy. The information folder could do with updating and the oven was not very clean but we enjoyed our stay here.

“If you desire that dream of countryside living in Cornwall, you have chosen the ideal location at Rose Cottage with plenty of living space and with a large delightful sunny garden to relax in at any time of the day.”

Its location has wonderful views to the river and surrounding countryside with a couple of sheep nearby and a few horses grazing. Leisurely days are easily spent here, try the walks along the wooded creeks of the river Lerryn in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or just enjoying your favorite drink at the Ship or a cream tea from the River Stores.

“Lovely large cottage with a huge garden.”

Everything we needed for our holiday of 4 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs. Garden mostly secure for dogs but there is a low wall to the orchard at one point in the garden which our 2 in their younger years would have been over - fortunately now elderly they didn’t ! Travel Cot and high chair provided although high chair attaches to a dining chair so only suitable it baby can sit unaided. Steep driveway took some maneuvering especially as road past the house is typically Cornish and therefore narrow (!) - however we managed to park with 2 SUVs so it can be done if someone can guide you in. Lerryn is a pretty little village with a lot of history and great walks. Fabulous village shop with pretty much all essentials including delicious pasties and an ice cream kiosk. Otherwise Co-Op in Lostwithiel. Pub average - also offers takeaway service except it would seem when they’re busy - not too sure of their logic! Found a great Indian restaurant in Lostwithiel instead which also offered takeaway and was delicious. Great week away with wonderful weather and lots to see and do

“The cottage was ready early so we were able to gain entry sooner.”

We left at 8.45 am on Saturday after a great week in the cottage , which has been recently done out it would seem. Everything worked. The fittings and furnishings were good and of a high standard. Please accept our thanks and pass our comments on to the owner. ( The settees were a bit tired in the cushion department , and could do with re-stuffing )

“What a fantastic cottage, situated in a picture postcard village.”

The cottage was amazingly well equipped with an enormous garden. The village is tiny with a pub and a shop which just adds to charm. The pub food was top notch - no Covid-19 reduces menu rubbish - and had great options for the vegan and vegetarian I’m our group...and the staff were very friendly. Plenty for three active 21 year olds to do - kayaking and paddle boarding in Fowey and surfing in Newquay - and great walks for us older people with 2 very happy dogs. Wouldn’t hesitate to go to this cottage again.

“Our return visit to Rose Cottage did not let us down.”

Comfortable and well equipped, we were able to enjoy a very enjoyable and relaxing week, with walks in the nearby Ethy Woods and along the tranquil river. We also drove the short journey to the North coast to surf, and West to the Roseland peninsula. The evenings were cosy in the lounge with the wood burning stove. The bedrooms were comfortable and warm with the use of the electric heaters. A visit to the local pub 50 yards down the road for an evening meal was enjoyable, with friendly staff, and a parrot that could imitate a mobile phone, and the shop next door was very handy for provisions during the day. Lerryn is certainly a special place.

“This is the third time we have visited this wonderful, homely and so very peaceful Cottage.”

Fully equipped and spacious with wonderful snuggle down bedlinen and beds!!! Lerryn is a unique village with lots to offer if you love walking, beautiful scenery and wildlife right next to the river and on your doorstep. Very friendly Villagers with lots always going on. A big thank you to the owners for letting us holiday makers share this lovely Cottage.

“1 Rose Cottage is a divine place to stay and we had the most wonderful holiday with our daughter, son in law and children.”

This home is heaven on earth. It had a lovely friendly, homely feel and we did not want to leave. The garden is so so beautiful and the location is gorgeous. I don't know how many words to describe this lovely place but will definitely recommend to anyone and hope to return again. I can only thank the owner for allowing the public to rent this property. A magical place. The facilities, equipment, etc - no complaints anywhere. So well thought out. I cannot add anything else except to say that if this property is ever sold, there will be one very huge queue!

“The cottage is in a lovely setting, literally made it a perfect place to stay.”

The cottage itself is cosy and well equipped with a beautiful big garden.

Mrs Burke July 2019

“We loved the location of the cottage, so close to the river and the woods which were great for dog walking and dog swimming.”

It was really handy to have the pub and the shop so close, and we used both several times for meals and to play pool on the one day it rained. There was more space than I had imagined from the pictures and it was well-equipped for all our needs. Sitting having breakfast in the morning sunshine was lovely. The garden was a good size for the dog to run around but I would say, if your dog is a wanderer, then the garden is not ideal. The literature in the house does say that dogs should be on leads in the garden which I would suggest is not often practical. There is a field next to the garden with a low and open fence that a dog who likes to roam could easily get through. But we had no problems with our 6 month old Labrador puppy. There is a secure gate to the driveway and the road as well. As with other reviewers, we did find the steep driveway a bit off-putting, and found that reversing in as suggested was actually more difficult going uphill round a curve than going in forwards and having someone watch for traffic when reversing out to leave. Each to their own, I guess! Overall, we had a lovely relaxing holiday at a magical location near the river and not too far from beaches, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Thank you!

Mrs Grantham June 2019

“We enjoyed our stay at the cottage.”

Everything was there that we needed. The village is beautiful and very welcoming. Unfortunately the only thing that let it down was how clean it was. Unfortunately we all agreed that it needs a massive clean. Lots of dust everywhere. It's a dog friendly house which is amazing but it needs to be deep cleaned after each visit. There was alot of cobwebs including in parts of the kitchen. It was a shame as we hav used helpfully holidays may times in the past and all houses hav been immaculately clean so felt disappointed this year. As I say the cottage is lovely and the area is beautiful...but the house needs a massive clean.

Mrs Godkin May 2019

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

Our family of 5 were very happy and comfortable there for the week. It’s well located for visiting many of the main tourist attractions the area has to offer and the locals are very welcoming.

Mrs Goddard May 2019

“Before booking the cottage I specifically asked if the garden was enclosed as we were taking the dogs.”

I was told it was enclosed by trees, shrubs and fences and although not secure was definitely enclosed. This however is not the case as about 25% of the garden has a very low wall which even the smallest dog could walk over. The instructions in the cottage also said that dogs needed to be on the lead in the garden which if I had known I probably wouldn't have booked Rose Cottage. The cottage itself is lovely but it really needs to be clear re the garden especially as there are sometimes sheep in the field where the wall is and some people might not keep their dogs on leads.

- Mrs Goddard, May 2019
Mr Brewis March 2019

“Perfect location and lovely cottage, very well equipped even for the dog.”

The garden was also lovely even in early April. Our only problem was the heating. As you would expect with night storage heaters it was too hot at night and in the mornings but this should be expected to some degree in a cottage of this age, so completely understandable.

“Lovely situation in a very nice village.”

We found the local pub very welcoming.

“Having returned to Rose Cottage many times, it never fails to provide a perfect base for our trips to Cornwall.”

The cottage is cosy and has everything we need, and the large garden is a delight. Lerryn is a beautiful spot. We are always sad to leave and look foward to returning.

Mrs Carling August 2018

“The cottage was lovely and location perfect.”

Lots of steps inside and different levels in the garden. Also, even though the owners had tried their best there was a strong smell of damp on arrival. We kept the windows open which lessoned the smell. The drive is very steep and which for a large car this made parking difficult. We used the village car park instead. This sounds a bit negative but in fact we loved the cottage and the garden was the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. Thanks

Mrs Orton August 2018

“We loved this cottage in an idyllic village setting, with lots of space and a large garden.”

We enjoyed breakfasts in the area next to the kitchen, with the morning sun pouring in, and evening meals in the living room. The rooms were bright and yet cosy, and the kitchen had absolutely everything you could think of. The snug was an added bonus. Despite being so close to the road, there was hardly any passing traffic to bother us. This is definitely a cottage we would stay in again. Thank you so much.

Mr Morse July 2018

“The property allowed 2 dogs but the garden was not secure.”

We were told the stained carpet was to be cleaned while we were there but that did'nt happen. The place needed a good clean from top to bottom. You don't expect a place to be spotless where dogs are allowed but we did pay an extra £25 for the dogs to stay so that should go towards the cleaning of the property. The house was in a very good area shame the local pub didn't meet our expectations tatty and food was below average

About the location

LERRYN

Lostwithiel 3 miles; Bodmin 10 miles.

For those seeking peace, tranquillity and the unspoilt splendour of Cornwall’s ‘softer’ southern coast there can be few finer spots than Lerryn. Sitting at the very point where the River Lerryn joins the highest tidal reach of a creek leading up from the Fowey estuary, the village has a timeless, natural beauty no matter the season. Footpaths meander through the woods and along the river bank while out on the water the small boats owned by local residents provide another means of travelling down stream to Fowey (3.5miles) for shopping or just something to do in wonderful surroundings. The village boasts an award winning pub/restaurant and has a small shop and post office. Nearby Lostwithiel is renowned also for its good restaurants and antique shops. The stunning Eden Project (8 miles), the Shipwreck Harbour at Charlestown, the lovely fishing village and harbour of Mevagissey, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the stately home and gardens at Lanhydrock (NT) can all be reached in under half an hour while Padstow and the rolling surf of the north coast are just over 20 miles away.

Note: Fairly steep driveway (parking for one large or two small cars; additional free parking available by village green).
