“Our second stay in The Roost and just as good as last year.”

Ideal location; very quiet rural area with reasonable nearby access to Godrevy and Gwithian beaches, very comfortable (particularly needed this year when storm Betty thundered through!) and delightful and welcoming hosts; not forgetting Bobby, the Eurasian-eagle owl! Highly recommend and hoping to return next year.

- Christopher, August 2023

Thank you! It’s our pleasure to host you.! Kind regards Belinda & Alan Property Owner

“We had a lovely relaxing week at The Roost.”

Alan and Belinda were so friendly and welcoming and the fresh flowers and cream tea were a lovely surprise! The Roost is well placed to visit all of southern Cornwall and there was lots of useful info provided for places to visit and eating out. It was a nice comfortable base to return to after a day out and we enjoyed relaxing on the terrace in the evenings. We’ll definitely be back!

“The Roost was exactly as advertised.”

A beautiful little place to stay to unwind and destress. In a secluded spot but not far from places to visit. Belinda and Ian were delightful. Extremely friendly and very helpful. We learnt a lot about owls and lorikeets! Definitely recommend this delightful place to stay.

“Our second visit to this 5* holiday accommodation.”

Hosts Belinda and Alan are lovely and very helpful. You won’t be disappointed staying here. There are so many thoughtful extras. A yummy cream tea and fresh flowers greet you on arrival. If you want a peaceful holiday with nice accommodation and perfectly positioned to visit the delights of West Cornwall then book The Roost!

“Wir haben den Aufenthalt im Roost sehr genossen.”

Belinda war eine sehr zuvorkommende Gastgeberin und hat uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Wir konnten im Garten sitzen und auf der separaten Terrasse grillen. Bob der Uhu hat uns immer begrüßt, wenn wir kamen. Scheinbar funktioniert die Sternebewertung oben nicht richtig. Wir würden trotz Kleinigkeit 5 Sterne geben. Die "Kleinigkeit": Die Dusche ist sehr eng, aber machbar. Nichts für Leute, die sich nicht gut bewegen können. Auch für Rollstuhlfahrer nicht geeignet. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren. The Roost finden: Auf keinen Fall Google Maps nehmen, kann mit der Adresse nichts anfangen. Immer What3Words.com, dann maple.fund.emeralds!

“I can't imagine anywhere lovelier to stay for a restful holiday than the 'Roost', it was exceptional in the detail that the owners have sought into providing everything that the visitors would require.”

The garden was interesting and full of wonderful shrubs. Doubt there's anywhere better to stay.

- John, July 2022
Martin June 2022

“We had a most enjoyable stay at the "Roost" Camborne Cornwall On our arrival we were greeted with a cream tea which was most welcome.”

The Jar of Jam, Tub of Cream, Bread, Butter and Milk was also unexpected. A big thank you. If you wish to visit Cornwall The "Roost" is a must destination for your stay. Also a big thank you to the staff at Sykes

- Martin, June 2022
Linda June 2022

“A gem of a find.”

Lovely holiday cottage definitely 5*. On arrival a Cornish cream tea was waiting for us with beautiful roses and homemade jam. Our hosts were so nice and helpful. Belinda even presented us with a bottle of bubbly and a card for our 40th wedding anniversary. The cottage had everything and more you could wish for. Very comfortable and quiet. If you want a relaxing base to explore beautiful Cornwall look no further than The Roost.

“Always slightly pot luck when booking a holiday cottage.”

Are the pictures current? Is it really a quiet spot? Is it a good base for exploring the area? In this case the answers are all yes. We visited the north and south coasts and Lands End easily and enjoyed our journeys. If you're not a National Trust member it may be worth joining especially if you enjoy visiting gardens. We were also happy that the owners were always available to answer questions but never knocking on the door, perfect. Finally if we were to visit the area again we would happily stay here again and thoroughly recommend The Roost to anyone looking to holiday in Cornwall.

“Perfect ! A lovely property in an ideal position for touring Cornwall.”

“We have just come back from a week’s stay at The Roost.”

Hosts Belinda and Alan had though of everything, with a warm welcome and home comforts throughout. Great location for accessing north and south coasts. We would definitely recommend and will go back. Thank you!

“We had a very peaceful and comfortable two week stay at The Roost, Belinda and Alan made us very welcome, included extra touches with a cream tea, bread and milk and other provisions awaiting us on arrival.”

The sheets and towels were changed mid stay and the cottage cleaned for us. Belinda even offered to do our washing for us as there is no washing machine facilities, our clothes were washed, dried and ironed and returned the next day. The family birds were also friendly calling out to you when they saw you. This Roost is highly recommended for a visit.

- Elizabeth, July 2021

“The accommodation was perfect in every way.”

Belinda, the owner, was attentive and very eager to please but not at all intrusive. The attention to detail was amazing and the lovely welcome of a cream tea ready for us on arrival says it all. We would 100% recommend to any couple seeking a stay in clean, cosy, well appointed accommodation in a tranquil setting.

Rebecca September 2020

“The cottage is set in the grounds of the owners home, a peaceful location where we spent many evenings sitting on the patio watching and listening to the many garden birds.”

The cottage has all you need for the week and is clean and bright, we were met with scones, jam and clotted cream, with milk and bread in the fridge which was a lovely welcoming touch. The owners are both lovely and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Cornwall exceeded our expectations it is stunningly beautiful and knowing we had such a great base to retreat to at the end of each day made the experience even more enjoyable.

Steven August 2020

“The owners are the loveliest couple you are ever likely to meet, share good knowledge of the local area, nothing is too much trouble and it’s a beautiful idilic quiet country setting.”

.. they have thought of everything within the cottage, scones, clotted cream and jam ready on arrival. Games, DVD’s BBQ, everything is ready and waiting for an enjoyable relaxing break. Beautiful pet Hawk who calls for you as you pull up in the car, loves visitors. my son loved him... !!! And not forgetting the pet parrot... at night you would think you are in the middle of nowhere it’s so quiet.... not forgetting you are ONLY 4 miles from the beach!!!! Location just perfect..... thank you for an amazing stay.... Steven and Mitchell

John September 2019

“This was a last minute booking but what a find it turned out to be !”

Although compact the accommodation was very nicely furnished, fitted and decorated. Very clean and situated in very pleasant garden with it's own spacious terrace and BBQ area. We were greeted by such a lovely "welcoming pack" laid out for us ! The owners are on hand if needed but do not interfere in the least. Another bonus is having an owl, hawk and parrot in garden, (caged!). The owners are most approachable, friendly and helpful. If interested in mining history get along to nearby King Edward Mine.
