Tamarisk - for a stay in October 2022
Our second visit but first in Tamarisk and it was excellent. The cottage was warm, cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and the welcome cream tea was delicious! It really is peaceful and should be marketed as a wellness retreat for tired minds and bodies. The walks around the lakes with our dog were wonderful in the early morning. The coast is a short drive away and there are lots of attractions nearby. The moors were spectacular and seeing the wild ponies was wonderful. Thank you. We had a fantastic week.

Stable - for a stay in October 2022
“Ideal for the task we had planned”
Great from booking to checking out.

Stable - for a stay in September 2022
This is our second year at East Rose but we chose the slighter larger Stable cottage which we found more to our liking due to the space and second bedroom providing space and storage. The kitchen was well equipped as always and the complementary cream tea on arrival was most welcome after a long journey. East Rose is situated on Bodmin Moor far from roads, noise and light pollution so its SO peaceful with amazing night skies and evocative misty mornings looking over the fishing lakes. Matthew and Becky make you feel welcome and its not long before you unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet, By the way Becky bakes fantastic cakes and pastries which have to tasted! Many popular destinations are a short drive away, Tintagel, Boscastle, Port Issac and Padstow and the coastal path is always a wonderful experience. I would recommend a visit to Pentire Point which has great views over the sea. All in all a wonderful holiday and planning to revisit in 2023

Moor - for a stay in September 2022
We were very impressed with everything about Moor Cottage and the East Rose complex as a whole. Our hosts, Matthew and Becky were extremely friendly and helpful and we really couldn’t have wished for more. The cottage was well equipped, with everything we needed for our 7 day holiday and the cottage was always warm and cosy. The location was superb and our dogs enjoyed their evening walks around the beautiful lakes each evening after their day walking many miles along various parts of the Cornish coastline! Overall, a perfect location for a perfect holiday!

Tamarisk - for a stay in September 2022
East Rose is ideally located to explore Cornwall’s north and south coasts with everything in between. We have stayed in Tamarisk Cottage three times now and have always found it well equipped, clean and comfortable. The owners are lovely friendly and helpful without being intrusive; just the right balance. Additionally, it would be negligent of me not to mention Becky’s tasty treats, whether they be cakes or savoury treats, they are deliciously moreish. I am sure we shall visit again in the future.

Stable - for a stay in September 2022
East Rose is a beautiful place, nestled on Bodmin Moor it is truly a peaceful place. The accommodation is very comfortable. On arrival there is a cream tea waiting for you in your accommodation, the scones are light and fresh.

Mowhay - for a stay in August 2022
What a beatifull place , fantasic scenery ideal location for walks, the lakes onsite are amazing , and becky the host was always helpfull greeted us when we arrived and her home baked food was superb will be goin back cant praise this place enough 10/10

Tamarisk - for a stay in August 2022
Absolutely beautiful holiday home, and incredibly helpful hosts (with outstanding cooking skills for treats that can be purchased - really recommend the fridge cake!). The location is second to none and allows for some lovely walks around lakes on site or over moors and down to river. Had amazing time here with family and would have been 10/10 on everything except for the double bed - which on a purely personal level we prefer a king size due to husbands height (6’3). However there are other cottages which offer this on the site so easily fixed if this is what you need. Couldn’t recommend more highly for a couple or family!

Stable - for a stay in August 2022
“Fantasic cottage”
This was a lovely holiday in Cornwall overall. The cottage was lovely with all the content that we needed for a weeks stay. The surrounding lakes were amazing and there were wild horses and sheep outside the cottage grounds. Accessible to the northern beaches and a small shop and pub in walking distance. The owners were discreet but were around if required. The WiFi in Cornwall is generally poor so this is not a fault of the cottage itself. We would definitely visit again, especially as the cottage was dog friendly.

Barn - for a stay in August 2022
“Wonderful holidays”
Lovely, clean cottage with all you need just at the side of a beautiful park. Very kind and friendly hosts. We enjoyed our stay very much! Thank you

Stable - for a stay in August 2022
Great place on the edge of Bodmin Moor lovely cottages with great views and walks in the immediate area.

Moor - for a stay in August 2022
“Beautiful location for a stay in North Cornwall”
This was our second visit to East Rose and Moor Cottage. It has everything you need with a glorious view over the moor, as the name suggests. A nice cream tea is there to greet you on arrival and as long as you don't tell Becky and Matt you put jam on first everything will be fine. The cottage is very cosy and comfy and is the perfect base for exploring North Cornwall with Port Isaac, Constantine Bay, Padstow, Rock, Polzeith, Tintagel, Bocastle, Widemouth Bay and Bude all within 30 minutes drive. Becky's home cooking is a bonus and I can thoroughly recommend the quiche, the pasties, the millionaires shortbread - well, everything really. If you fancy a day chilling then the grounds and lakes give you a nice tranquil place to sit and just relax. And then you can walk down the road and have a gentle stroll on the moor if you so wish. Local pub The Old Inn is just 5 mins away by car and serves unbelievable food that simply cannot be beaten. I can thoroughly recommend East Rose and we are already planning next year.

Shippen - for a stay in August 2022
10/10

Barn - for a stay in July 2022
Excellent place to visit for a holiday enjoyed a week here very quite and peaceful. Owners are very friendly and kind couldn’t have asked for anyone nicer to be honest. Will 100% be back next year. Thanks Ben

Tamarisk - for a stay in June 2022
“Great place for a relaxing holiday”
This is the third time we have stayed in Tamarisk and the sixth time we have been to East Rose. It is such a lovely tranquil place with great views of the moors. You relax as soon as you get out of the car. It is in easy reach of places to visit and makes a good base. It's great if you want to go out everyday but also so relaxing if you just chill on site or by the pond. Cottage very clean and owners very accommodating. Becky's cream tea on arrival is a lovely welcome. Can't wait to return.

Barn - for a stay in June 2022
Excellent holiday home we had a great time and the owners are very welcoming and friendly. Thank you

Moor - for a stay in June 2022
We had an amazing time - we were very lucky weather wise but location stunning with the most beautiful lakes and natural gardens all on site. The accommodation was perfect for us and spotlessly clean. We had all the equipment we needed to cook for ourselves and we also walked to lovely pubs both ways from East Rose for drinks and food. Plenty of lovely places to visit within 20 to 45 mins drive. We love walking so perfect. If you bring a dog they do need to be on a lead most of the time at the coast or in land because of safety, farm animals or wildlife, but we found places to let our dog have a good run.

Barn - for a stay in June 2022
“Beautiful place to stay"
We've been to East Rose many times over the last 30 years and we love coming back time and time again. Becky and Matthew do a lot to make sure the grounds and cottages are a really special place to stay. We bring our dogs and children and they love playing in the grounds, walking round the lakes and going to walks on the moor. One of the things we love is that we can walk straight out of the cottage and onto the moor. The cottage is comfy and feels cosy. The bedrooms are on the ground floor, meaning the living area has stunning views. I highly recommend it. We've already booked our holiday for next year!

Barn - for a stay in June 2022
“BLISSFUL"
Just arrived home after a week at East Rose Bodmin We’ve been a few times. It’s peaceful apart from the cuckoo cow’s and sheep! The light is amazing. Fantastic place close to all you require in Cornwall Accommodation is good and clean. We get to take the dog too. It truly is blissful . 10/10 every time.

Rose - for a stay in June 2022
“A lovely cottage in a perfect setting"
Over the years we have stayed in five of the seven cottages at East Rose and have had wonderful holidays in them all. On this occasion we had also stayed in Shippen and made an almost last minute decision to stay on for another week in Rose as it was unexpectedly available - we were very glad we did! Rose is perfect for two people (plus, in our case, two dogs). It is very comfortable and has everything you could need for a relaxing holiday away from it all. The grounds are lovely and the lakes stunning whatever the weather or time of day! Becky and Matthew, the hosts, are very welcoming, they are helpful and always available if needed but never intrusive. Becky is an excellent cook and bakes a great selection of goodies to order!

Shippen - for a stay in June 2022
“A lovely cottage in a perfect setting"
We have stayed at East Rose many times over the past 30 years and sampled 5 of the cottages in that time. Shippen, like all the others is lovely - it is comfortable and well equipped with everything necessary for a holiday away from it all. East Rose is in an idyllic setting and yet it is quite easy to get to anywhere else in Cornwall - if you can tear yourself away! Matthew and Becky are very welcoming hosts, they are always available if needed but are never intrusive. Becky is a very good cook and her bakes are well worth ordering! We can't wait for our next visit!!

Mowhay - for a stay in June 2022
“An oasis of calm"
We have just returned from our fourth stay and have rebooked for both this autumn and next summer. A hidden gem - a view shared by every newcomer we encounter. No traffic noise, just birdsong and a suitably poor mobile signal within the cottage to keep intrusion at bay. A perfect location for avoiding the busy coast, with easy access to great pub food at the Old Inn, The Eden Project and National Trust Lanhydrock.

Barn - for a stay in May 2022
“Perfect location overlooking fantastic countryside”
Second year we’ve stayed at East Rose in The Barn. Very well appointed with everything you require. Stunning views and good central location to visit both north and south coasts. Also very tranquil wirh grounds and lakes well looked after for a quiet stroll or for fishing. Have booked for next May again! Matthew and Becky make you so welcome.

Barn - for a stay in May 2022
“Fantastic pet friendly ‘Barn Cottage’”
We have stayed at East Rose many times and the accommodation and surroundings never fail to be fantastic. Matthew and Becky are great hosts and their properties and grounds are beautifully looked after by them. Their hospitality at East Rose is second to none. We love to spend time enjoying the wildlife in the peace and tranquility of East Rose and the coast is only a short drive away. There are plenty of places to drive to and eat out when we don’t want to cook and the nearest pub (with great food) is a lovely walk away when we don’t want to drive. We stayed in Barn Cottage again as it offers amazing views from the ‘upside down’ sitting area. As well as the views, it is spacious, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable with excellent facilities. It offers great value for money and is dog friendly. Matthew, Becky, Edward, William and Eloise are superb hosts and are so very kind and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. Becky’s home cooked food is delicious and the wonderful cream tea on arrival is a perfect touch. Thank you all again for a wonderful stay. We hope we’ll see you again soon.

Stable - for a stay in May 2022
“Peaceful location, ideal for visiting local attractions”
Peaceful and friendly host.

Moor - for a stay in April 2022
“An amazing and relaxing place to stay for a holiday. We love it, and so does Toffee our Dog.”
The surroundings at East Rose are wonderful. Walking around the fishing lakes and sitting for a while, was great relaxation. The cottage is well equipped with all that we needed, and a cream tea awaited us on our arrival. The home bakes are well worth sampling too, compliments to the baker! Great walks nearby on the moor, but also very handy to coastal places like, Padstow, Polzeath, Port Isaac and Boscastle. Matthew, Becky and the children made us feel very welcome, so thanks to them. We’ll hope to return for a third visit.

Tamarisk - for a stay in April 2022
Thoroughly wound down from the moment we arrived. Walked in to find scones, cream and jam and milk in the fridge waiting for us. Accommodation was second to none, with views across the lakes and the moor. Extremely comfortable, owners on hand if needed but otherwise left to own devices. Very peaceful, perfect wind down, so we could go out for the day and come back to peace and quiet. Blisland village has a good shop and a wonderful pub with great beer and good food. We will definitely be returning again and again.

Mowhay - for a stay in April 2022
We had such a lovely time at East Rose - Mowhay cottage was perfect with everything we needed and a beautiful view.  One week was not long enough so we hope to return before too long!

Moor - for a stay in April 2022
Thank you! We had a fabulous time.  We plan to book again some time in Sept/Oct hopefully.

Mowhay - for a stay in April 2022
“Beautiful setting on Bodmin Moor”
Mowhay Cottage is set within lovely grounds for walking and lakes if you would like fishing also various picnic areas.. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable with beautiful views to see the animals on the Moor. It is also a dog friendly cottage. Also a Pub with good food is close. Coast also a short ride away. A lovely family to help you enjoy your stay.

Moor - for a stay in April 2022
“Everything and more we could have wanted for the perfect holiday”
Becky & Mathew had thought of everything. The Moor cottage is so cosy, spacious and such a relaxing place to be in. You can spend a lot of time just exploring the walks around the farm and lakes. There was a lovely view from the windows of the moor which in April was covered in yellow gorse and bluebells. Also ponies with their foals, baby rabbits and lots of lambs. The Camel Trail made a lovely place to walk or hire bikes. So many places to visit countryside or coast within easy distance whatever time of year. Serious walkers arel catered for as well. Becky makes superb cakes and quiches to order and a lovely cream tea was there on our arrival. They have thought of everything you might need for a very comfortable stay. We can't wait to stay again.

5* - lovely property.

Moor - for a stay in October 2021
A lovely quite retreat out on Bodmin Moor.

Rose - for a stay in October 2021
We have had such a wonderful week here on Bodmin Moor, where nothing has changed since our last visit!  Thank you so much for having us, and for the delicious cream tea on arrival.  It’s been perfectly relaxing.

Barn - for a stay in October 2021
“Always Fantastic”
East Rose never fails to be amazing. This was one of our many stays. We never tire of the wonderful views and superb surroundings, kept so beautifully by Matthew and Becky. Their care for the environment at East Rose is second to none. There is also always something new to see and do on our walks and travels in the area. We love the peace and tranquility, the wildlife and the coast, which is only a short drive away. We stayed in Barn Cottage again as we love this spacious first class accommodation. It is spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable with excellent facilities and fantastic views. It offers great value for money and is dog friendly. Matthew, Becky, Edward, William and Eloise are brilliant hosts. Nothing is too much trouble and they are so kind and welcoming. We love Becky’s home cooked food and the delicious cream tea on arrival. We are looking forward to our next visit already! Thank you all again for a wonderful stay.

Shippen - for a stay in October
Our hosts were very helpful. The home made cooking, which was optional was delicious and very filling. The location was spectacular with amenities accessible. The moor and wildlife were breathtaking and dog friendly beaches amazing. I definitely would recommend both the area, and particularly East Rose. It was a welcome peaceful retreat.

Moor - for a stay in October 2021
Wonderful location coupled with well equipped cottage.

Mowhay - for a stay in October 2021
“Great place for families”
Lovely family friendly accommodation. Great communication with the owner. Had terrible rain and fog but property was warm and cosy. Lovely grounds. Would definitely return

Barn - for a stay in October 2021
Thank you for having us to stay.  Your cottages are very homely and comfortable.  The views are stunning!  We have enjoyed our stay.  We will be recommending it to all our friends.

Shippen - for a stay in September 2021
The cottage was excellent for all our needs and was well run by the family. Everything you require is to hand. Also a cream tea awaits you on arrival. Matthew keeps the grounds in excellent condition and there are lots of picnic tables scattered around the extensive grounds. Becky is a wonderful cook and you can purchase a variety of her pasties and cakes if ordered by noon the day before. (Best pasties in Cornwall). There is a good pub and shop for groceries within two miles of the property. All in all the family provided us with fond memories during our short stay. Thank you.

Moor - for a stay in September 2021
“Peaceful and welcoming”
This was our first time to East Rose and it won't be the last. Moor cottage was cosy and comfortable with everything you need to make it feel like home. It was very dog friendly with plenty of walking around the cottages and on the moor. The location is beautiful and so peaceful with beautiful views and a picturesque fishing lake with well kept grass pathways. The coastal attractions are only about 10 miles away and the tranquility of the site is a welcome relief from the busy towns of Padstow, Port Isaac and Boscastle, all withing 20/30 minutes away. Becky and Matthew were perfect hosts and were always on hand if needed, I would recommend Becky's home cooking as her scones and quiche were delicious. My only slight irritation was that the wifi would lose connection on a regular basis and had to re-connected at least daily but other than that we had a great holiday and would recommend it if you like a quiet and restful getaway.

Barn - for a stay in September 2021
Very pleased with the property. The site was extremely clean and tidy and was central to many places and attractions. Would definitely recommend.

Rose - for a stay in September 2021
“What a find!”
Helpful hosts. Lovely cottage, clean, comfortable and has everything you need in a great location. The farm is beautiful with lake walks on site. Lots of walking from the doorstep. Highly recommend.

Tamarisk - for a stay in August 2021
“Peaceful, child-friendly, comfortable accommodation”.
Fabulous location not too far away from anywhere but also secluded and peaceful. Lovely walks to be had in the local area. Great layout in the cottage and very comfortably furnished. Hosts were fantastic and baked us some delicious treats throughout our stay. Highly recommend.

Rose - for a stay in August 2021
“Absolutely fantastic stay”
My wife and I and Pax the dog have just returned from Rose Cottage. We had a fantastic time, the location was perfect with both the North and South Coasts within easy reach. Mathew and Becky made our stay all the more comfortable . Mathew on his lawnmower and Becky walking their kids on the nature trail made for a chilled week away The grounds are kept to a very high standard and they are both willing to have a catch up if you see them. I would recommend spending a well earned rest here it’s so quiet and peaceful. The cottage itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. Thank you both we will be back.

Stable - for a stay in August 2021
The Stable at East Rose was a lovely small property perfect for our family of 3 (2 adults and 1 child). Whilst some of the fittings and furnishings were slightly dated, everything worked and was clean and tidy. The site itself is lovely, with beautiful surroundings and lakes to explore. We would definitely book again.

Moor - for a stay in August 2021
Enjoyed our stay even though weather was not too good, The cottage was comfy and well equipped. Bit of a walk from cottage to car park, which was unfortunate as the rain poured while loading up car when leaving. ( just bad luck). Cottage location is quite remote but didnt bother us. Being in centre of Bodmin moor, it was handy for north or south coast. Lovely lakes for fishing and wildlife.

Barn - for a stay in August 2021
Just returned from our first visit to East Rose and have already rebooked for next year. Barn was spotless and provided us with fantastic accommodation in a stunning location. Kids enjoyed catching lots of small roach in the lakes and also recommend pony trekking at the nearby stables. Both coasts of Cornwall easily reached by car from here and plenty of great beaches to visit. Becky Matthew and family provide a first class Holiday destination.

Tamarisk - for a stay in August 2021
“Gorgeous Cottage”
Had another marvellous holiday here. We've been several times in 15 years and stayed in most of the cottages at different times! Always immaculate and the best stocked self catering accommodation I've ever stayed in. The owners and their family are a delight and nothing too much trouble AND they bake fresh scones and cakes! The views are gorgeous and of course Bodmin is an excellent place to visit with great access to lots of activities. We always love our stays there and highly recommend! Well actually we don't.....I want lots of availability for when we want to stay!!!!!!

Moor - for a stay in August 2021
“Snug cottage in a beautiful setting”
I have been visiting East Rose for almost a decade, and our stay in Moor Cottage this year was no disappointment. All of the cottages are gorgeous and incredibly cosy, with everything you need for a week's stay or longer (although Moor is our favourite!). The lakes are beautiful, great for a stroll or a picnic, and the surrounding moorland is equally lovely. Matthew and Becky were kind, helpful, and efficient as always. I cannot recommend East Rose enough, and can't wait for our inevitable next visit!

Shippen - for a stay in August 2021
Nice & clean cottage, lovely remote location yet central, old inn at st Breward well worth the visit.

Mowhay - for a stay in July 2021
“Lovely retreat in a beautiful quiet idyllic surroundings”
The cottage is situated in the Bodmin moors near a stream with plenty of lovely picnic spots and has own lakes for fishing ; we didn't fish but lovely to walk around 1st thing in the morning or last thing in evening. Ideal for touring around - Bodmin jail, Eden Project, Port Isaac (Doc Martin and Fisherman's friend filmed there) St Ives , Padstow (Stein's place) . The owners are friendly and helpful.

Mowhay - for a stay in July 2021
“Beautiful and Peaceful”
We absolutely loved our stay. The grounds were immaculately kept and the cottage was spotlessly clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The area is lovely and we always enjoyed coming back to the different landscape of the Bodmin moor after a day at the stunning Cornish coast. I would definitely recommend a stay and would love to visit again in future. We didn't want to leave!

Shippen - for a stay in July 2021
“Home from home”
The property was exactly as advertised. Spotlessly clean, light and airy. Everything we needed and more. The property location was natural and beautiful. Lots of space to wander and enjoy. Many benches located around the grounds for relaxing and enjoying the peacefulness and beauty too. The owners were very helpful and nothing was any trouble. We sampled and appreciated the home made foods and treats and would highly recommend them. We would definitely recommend and stay again in the future.

Tamarisk - for a stay in July 2021
We had a lovely week at Tamarisk. The location is beautiful and a perfect base to explore the north Cornish coast.

Tamarisk - for a stay in July 2021
A really beautiful spot - immaculately kept grounds and everything spotlessly clean. Kitchen knives were desperately blunt and could do with a new frying pan, but everything else was perfect. A bit of a drive to get anywhere, but well worth it - and can't beat it for getting away from it all! Would definitely stay here again.

Rose - for a stay in July 2021
This is a great little cottage. The owners are lovely and make you feel relaxed and at home. The home made cooking is superb. With beautiful sitting out areas and a relaxing areas for a stroll this is just great. The only reason for a lower score on local amenities is not a criticism, you can’t expect lots of shops on Bodmin Moor. This is one of the many reasons to stay at Rose Cottage.

Moor - for a stay in July 2021
Lovely and peaceful location. Cottage had everything you require. Some of the roads away from the cottage are challenging but that is to be expected given the location!! Grounds are kept perfectly mown and the lakes were lovely for an evening stroll around with the dogs. Would highly recommend if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The far end of the camel trail is only a few minutes from the cottage and made for a good day out. Will be going back again as soon as we can😁

Moor - for a stay in July 2021
Great location for walkers with hiking routes right from the door. Made very welcome by the East Rose team.

Moor - for a stay in July 2021
Brilliant place to stay couldn’t of asked for a better location, beach around 30mins away but we didn’t mind that as the views from the cottage were outstanding.They also offer food which was lovely. It’s fully equipped in the whole cottage. However there was no fan and it was very hot (not that it’s normally a problem in England lol). And if I’m being extremely picky it would’ve been nice to have full length mirror in the bedroom or hallway to check my outfit before going out. Overall was outstanding.

Mowhay - for a stay in June 2021
“Peaceful, comfortable and in a delightful spot”.
Booked Mowhay Cottage for the disabled access and fantastic views from the windows after a stay last year in another. Everything you need for a quiet self-isolated getaway, set on the beautiful moor. Plenty of picnic tables & BBQ area, to dine outdoors and relax when admiring the views and watching the birds around the lakes, (17 species seen in the week). Easy cycling from the cottage and a well stocked local store and pub dining just a short drive/walk away. Will make at least one regular booking each year as in this location it can only remain unspoilt.

Moor - for a stay in June 2021
 5* Great

Tamarisk - for a stay in June 2021
“Relaxing and comfortable”
First time at Tamarisk but second time at East Rose. Very comfortable and great location for walking dogs. Close to the North Cornish coast and only circa an hour from some of our favourite places on the South Cornish coast. Good choice of pubs/restaurants within 20 minutes. We had a lovely time and will be back!

Barn - for a stay in June 2021
Great location with amazing views over countryside and lakes. Grounds so well looked after and excellent base for exploring Cornwall. Very well run.

Rose - for a stay in June 2021
“Great location and good value for money”
Ideal location for people with well behaved dogs, who enjoy countryside and coastal walks. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and if asked, produce very nice homemade pasties and scones. The accommodation is basic but meets most essential needs. When you consider the rates, it represents good value for money. The site is well maintained and there are some lovely ponds, where you can take an early morning, or late evening stroll. Plenty of trestle tables too, for outside picnics or a glass of wine. In May / June you might even hear a cuckoo. We had stayed here many years ago and fond memories of that stay, brought us back again. One suggestion I would make is perhaps a dog cleaning station could be set up? By this, I simply mean an outside tap somewhere, with a short length of hose so that muddy paws can be washed before taking dogs into the accommodation. This would help keep everything nice and clean.

Tamarisk - for a stay in June 2021
“Quiet Break”
Located on the edge of Bodmin Moor with easy access to local and coastal points of interest. This is an ideal location for walkers and person that just wish to get away from the crowds and stay in a very well maintained and peaceful cottage. The cottage was immaculate and well equipped with everything necessary for your stay. We found the local shop a short drive away and managed to get everything we needed. The grounds of the property were exceptional and the walks round the lakes were easy to follow. The dog loved his stay. We would love to go back again.

Stable - for a stay in June 2021
“Perfect for a restful holiday”
This is the third time we've stayed at East Rose, we love the cottage and the views, the surrounding countryside, and the coast within easy reach. The cottage is beautifully kept and has everything you need. Becky's scones and cakes are wonderful! The seating could be a bit more comfortable but otherwise it's cosy and lovely.

** [03.07.21 COMMENT FROM OWNER REGARDING LOUNGE SEATING - following the comment about the seating in the lounge, we have replaced the soft fabric seating with a much more comfortable leather sofa and leather tub chair/arm chair.]**

Rose - for a stay in June 2021
“Beautiful area with views”
The cottage is in a lovely area with views over Bodmin moor it is well situated for touring all the different places in the area, Becky and Mathew are very welcoming and the home cooked goods are very good, the cottage was clean and tidy but the water pressure in the bathroom was very poor which made having a shower difficult, this did not distract from us enjoying our stay, would most certainly go back.

** [06.07.21 COMMENT FROM OWNER REGARDING WATER PRESSURE IN BATHROOM - There is a power cord next to the shower which if in the 'off' position impacts the pressure of water.  We believe it to be the case that the cord was put into the 'off' position which left a lower pressure for the guests when showering.  We are going to investigate at the next changeover, but no guests before or after this comment, or our housekeepers have reported a drop in water pressure.The cord is always left in the 'on' posiiton for a guests arrival.] **

Shippen - for a stay in June 2021
Stayed here on a few occasions, lovely place and owners. Perfect location. Will of course be back to visit

Barn - for a stay in May 2021
Absolutely perfect. Highly recommend. We've been here before a number of times and keep coming back.

Shippen  - for a stay in May 2021
“Wonderful!”
We loved it. Beautiful area, peaceful and tranquil. Enjoyed very much the lakes and the walk around them. Easy access to the moor and also close to the coast and it’s many attractions. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Excellent break, we will hope to return.

Shippen - for a stay in May 2021
We have had such a lovely time staying with you, and so envy the beautiful surroundings, and the easy access to the coast that you have here.  We felt at home and cosy, and our dog Toffee settled in very quickly!  So a big thank you and we’ll hope to return for another visit one day.

Shippen - for a stay in May 2021
“Wonderful!!”
We loved our cottage. It was very clean and cosy, and we felt at home straight away. East Rose is set in such lovely surroundings, with easy access to the moor, and also to the coast. We were well looked after, and enjoyed a beautiful cream tea on our arrival, thanks to our hosts, such lovely people. We will certainly hope to return.

Rose - for a stay in May 2021
“An oasis on top of the moor”
We stayed in Rose Cottage which has spectacular views of the moor and surrounding area. The cottage itself had everything we needed and was very warm and cosy especially at night when the rain came in across the moor. East Rose is an amazing place, very peaceful and in a beautiful location with panoramic views, the grounds are beautifully laid out and we particularly liked the lakes and nature trails which are a credit to Matt and Becky’s hard work. The farm is very dog friendly and our dog had a great time. East Rose is a perfect base for seeing North Cornwall with the beaches and towns only a short drive away but far away enough from the maddening crowd, so the best of both worlds. St Breward is the nearest village only 5 minutes away, and has a shop and a good pub. Matthew , Becky and family were very welcoming and we loved it so much we have booked to go back next year.

Rose - for a stay in May 2021
“Excellent value for money”
Brilliant setting. Near both Cornwall coast yet nestled in a beautiful remote spot on the moors. Ideal base for geocaching. If you want a very quiet, non commercial break away in the most tranquil setting but easy drive to all of Cornwall, this is it! Delightful family run cottages, basic but really comfy. Dog and child friendly with lovely walks around lakes to roam and explore. We will be back.

Shippen  - for a stay in May 2021
“Wonderful!”
We loved it. Beautiful area, peaceful and tranquil. Enjoyed very much the lakes and the walk around them. Easy access to the moor and also close to the coast and it’s many attractions. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Excellent break, we will hope to return.

“Perfect stay”
A beautiful, peaceful location with with stunning surroundings . From the moment that we arrived at East Rose and walked into Shippen, we were a taken back. It was so clean and well equipped. A Beautiful large wet room with a lovely hot shower was inviting after a day exploring the beautiful Cornwall. A little back garden with seating was perfect to relax and enjoy the tranquility. The family that run the complex are delightful. We have rebooked another 3 visits over the next 12 months and really cannot wait for the 2 of us plus my little dogs to return. Thank you

Tamarisk  - for a stay in April 2021
“Wonderful holiday”
We recently stayed in Tamarisk cottage at East Rose cottages. The cottage has everything you need for the perfect holiday! Even a lovely cream tea for when you arrive! Everywhere is very clean and comfortable. The views outside are amazing and you can go fishing or just have a relaxing walk round the lakes admiring the wildlife whilst enjoying the peace and quiet. There is a lovely pub in the local village and a shop for all your essentials. The only traffic you come across are the cows, sheep and ponies that wander all over the Moors! It's just perfect! Also, there are lots of places to visit and some amazing beaches not far away from East cottages! We definitely plan to return, can't wait! Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

“Cosy, comfortable cottage in a unique location”
We loved our stay in Moor Cottage at East Rose. The cottage was well equipped and extremely cosy in a stunning location with views out onto Bodmin Moor. Becky and Matthew made us extremely welcome including a delicious cream tea on arrival to help us settle in. Loved the grounds around the cottages - the onsite lakes were great to explore with surprise picnic locations dotted around. Ideally located to explore Cornwall, we'd strongly recommend a stay here. Looking forward to returning soon and thanks for a great holiday!

Me and my daughter, we've been very pleased to stay for one week in Moor Cottage at East Rose. Lovely family the owners, very nice accommodation, clean and spacious. Too cold during the nights though, but an extra electric radiator did a good job to warm us up. We recommand East Rose with all our heart. I bet it's fantastic there during the summer.Thank you Matthew and Becky!

“Amazing and very dog friendly”
We have stayed at fantastic East Rose several times now and each time the views and superb surroundings seem to be even more stunning than the last. We love the peace and tranquility, the wildlife and the walks. We stayed in Barn, which is a very spacious first class accommodation; spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable with excellent facilities. Great value for money and dog friendly. Matthew, Becky, Edward and William are terrific hosts, so kind and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Becky’s lovely cream tea on arrival is a great start to the holiday. We also sampled the homemade Cornish Pasties this time....delicious! Thank you all again for a wonderful stay, we are very much looking forward to another one in the near future.

“Comfy cottage in beautiful isolation”
Stayed as part of a watercolour painting holiday group. Able to distance with lots of lovely subjects within walking distance of our comfy cottage. Most of us self-catered, but a good local shop and Becky's homemade pasties etc. on tap if ordered the day before. Re-booked for next year to ensure a place during the new "normal" type of social distancing holiday. Very narrow lanes so I don't advise driving a decent car far once settled, but walking and cycling around is ideal.

“Comfortable, well equipped cottage for two”
Beautiful setting on Bodmin Moor with friendly hosts and well implemented Covid restrictions. Comfortable well equipped cottage for two, with home cooked scones, jam and cream on arrival. Outside seating overlooking well maintained fishing lakes with panoramic views. An added bonus of delicious home cooked food available to order. A river and bridge just a five minute walk away with access to a small beach ideal for paddling. We used the nearby shop for provisions which we were able to order in advance. It was a thoroughly relaxing break, especially in the current Covid situation. Thoroughly recommend.

“2 weeks of bliss”
Second stay here at Shippen, such a fantastic cottage, fully equipped kitchen.perfect wet room which made our stay so much more easier.The bed was so comfortable too, a few little quirks but nothing bad..low water pressure so don't dawdle in the shower😅Internet was a bit of hit and miss but again not actually important, was good to be off the radar and actually relax. Surrounding moors abundant with cattle and the ponies.Matt & ,Becky are excellent hosts always on hand to help and I have to say you haven't lived until you try some of Becky's home made treats, and of course it's a great place to fish!!🐟

September 2020 - Mowhay
Thank you for another wonderfully relaxing week at East Rose.  Mowhay was extremely comfortable, just like the other East Rose cottages have been.  We can tell how hard you work to make everything so easy for your guests, especially during these testing times.   We’ve raved about how much we enjoy staying with you and have passed on your details to family and friends (reluctantly, because we don’t want to share!).  We hope to be back next year.

“Perfect location to relax, unwind and get out into nature”
East Rose is a gem. We have stayed several times before, in all seasons, and will keep coming back. The owners are friendly and take trouble to ensure that your stay is hassle free. The welcome plate of homemade scones with jam and clotted cream are delicious! Mowhay cottage is a spacious cottage for 4 people and has been designed with guests with mobility issues in mind. Located a stone's throw from the Disabled Car Park with well-maintained level paths from the cottage to the picnic benches on the lawns which overlook the lakes and moors. We hope to be back soon.

“My holiday was awesome”
A wonderful property set in the beautiful breath taking landscape, you could not ask for a better place to stay. This was our 1st visit to Cornwall and every detail has been considered in the lay out and facilities to make for a relaxing enjoyable holiday. A Nice welcome with home made food on arrival. The grounds offer plenty of space for wandering and contribute to the peace and tranquility of the location. My daughter age 11 had the space to run around and the ability to be so close to the sheep each morning. The natural trail and walk around the lakes were so refreshing. East Rose is ideally located to other popular areas, making the perfect base for a family holiday. The local pub makes the most wonderful meal and is very welcoming, which is great for an evening out. The owners are very welcoming and friendly and make you feel relax. Thank you in creating the perfect holiday cottage, can't wait to return next year to recharge our batteries.

“Can’t wait to return”
We have had a fantastic weeks holiday at East Rose. My eldest daughter didn’t want to come home! The cottage is in a beautiful setting with views out to the moor. My two girls loved waking up and spotting sheep and ponies out of the window everyday. Great walks on your doorstop and our dog loved his walk to Delphi bridge everyday for his morning dip! The cottage is very clean, comfortable and is perfect for families equipped with everything you need. The old Inn does fab food and is well worth a visit (be sure to book as it’s very popular) and also St.Breward stores is great for picking up a few essentials. The coast is very accessible from here and exploring the rest of Cornwall. Matthew and Becky are great hosts & very helpful if you need anything. We’ve already booked for next year and can’t wait!

August 2020 - Moor
We really enjoyed staying at this cottage it was really homely and had some beautiful views.The owners Mathew and Becky were really friendly and helpful and also offer some lovely homemade goodies for you to purchase at a very reasonable price. We found the property central to most places we wanted to visit so was ideal for us. The cottage was very clean and well maintained and the 5 lakes within the grounds were a pleasant walk for the dogs. We would definitely return.

“Fantastic stay, beautiful location and great hosts”
We had a fantastic weeks stay with 2 small children, the barn was brilliant and well equipped. The grounds are well kept and lots of walks capable. The Becky and Matthew were brilliant and even helped me charge my electric car when I was struggling to get to charge points, nothing was too much hassle and were seen regularly around. Lovely touch was the cream tea on arrival and the barn was very clean. The location is very remote but local village with a shop and a fantastic pub called ship in That does fantastic food. Overall it’s a good location if you plan to visit around Cornwall as it’s centrally located to most places. Highly recommend and would love to return at some point. Thank you for a pleasant stay and shame about the weather but you can’t control that :-)

“Fabulous Stay”
We had a lovely 7night stay in Moor cottage great facilities including hairdryer, constant hot water, heated towel rail and storage heaters; should you need them. Surroundings are beautiful, lovely walk around the lakes where you could also sit and relax with a picnic. Great views across the moors with horses and sheep roaming. There are a couple of pubs in driving distance and a shop. We took our e-bikes with us and joined the Camel trail nearby and cycled to Padstow for lunch. We also cycled around the immediate moors....so peaceful. We visit Cornwall frequently and usually stay coastal but the moors did not disappoint and were a great location for us to explore our usual haunts and discover new places. We felt very COVID safe with measures in place - none of which ever hindered us. We would definitely recommend staying here.

“Beautiful cottage”
East Rose Cottages are set in the most picturesque of settings. We cannot stress how much we loved our stay here. Me, my husband, daughter and dog. The cottage has all you can want, it is clean and comfortable and very cute. The local area is amazing and the lakes and grounds are gorgeous. There is a local pub a short drive away which do the best meals. We will definitely be returning here and hope to get at least one week a year in.

August 2020 - Moor
“Lovely surroundings”
We were pleasantly surprised by the surroundings, we did a lovely walk around the lakes on our arrival. Clean accommodation, plenty of hot water, heated towel rail and storage heaters should you need them. Would definitely recommend and consider staying again.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay. The owners are fantastic, the cottage was clean and had everything that you needed. Will be going again

August 2020 - Mowhay
We have been visiting East Rose for several years now. Mowhay is our favourite and the area never disappoints. Ideal for walking, wildlife and fishing. Centrally located - you can get to both north and south coasts easily. Matthew and Becky are always friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to next year already.

August 2020 - Moor
“Fab and friendly place”
Situated on the moor with great views and wildlife. Good walks on the moor or round the lakes at East Rose. With easy reach to local attractions along the winding roads, which are narrow but you soon get used to them. Becky and Matthew are so friendly and are always there if you need them. Cream tea on arrival was delicious, and Moor Cottage was very homely with everything in there that you would ever need. Amazing place will be visiting again with more of my family.

August 2020
Peaceful, beautiful, lovely walks around the pools.  Would recommend for sure!

August 2020 - Rose
“Lived up to expectation with a few reservations”
Ideally located as previously mentioned but you need to be aware that the majority of the local roads are mainly single track with occasional passing points so not ideal if you are a nervous/inexperienced driver. The hosts are a lovely family and the cottage is very cosy and comfortable with the surrounding grounds maintained to a good standard. However there are a few things that could be improved in the cottage:- 1. The immersion heater in the unit next to the bed is very noisy when it is on during the night and results in disturbed sleep. 2. The hot water is very hot and could be a result of the lack of thermostat on the heater or too high a temperature setting, which could be a scalding risk to younger children or older guests. 3. For some reason the flow from the bathroom washbasin cold tap is barely more than a trickle and doesn’t help with the hot water issue. 4. In comparison to present day standards the fittings & furniture are looking tired and the cottage could benefit from some modernisation. Also be aware that mobile phone reception is none existent in the buildings and is only achieved outside near the entrance area.

“Quiet and relaxing”
We were met on arrival by the owner and Cream tea, just what was needed after a long drive. Social Distancing and covid routes adhered too. Although we didn't need them we felt the owners were available if required and regular saw the family going about there every day lives. Stunning location, step out of the property boundary and your on the Moor, so if you wanted to wondered and wear your dog out then, then the car could stay in the car park (which has plenty of room). Within the boundary and around the lakes there seemed to be a picnic table or a bench tucked into little nooks and crannies giving plenty of options for a relaxing peaceful day. With it being in a central location, you could have a day out just about anywhere in Cornwall for no more than 30-40 minutes drive. The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we needed plus some. We found it to be plenty big enough for the 2 of us and the 2 cocker spaniels. With picnic benches on the grass just outside , the option for eating outside or having a bar-b-Que (built into the wall) is there if you want it. All in All a very relaxing 2 weeks was had, with lots of walking and exploring. We will stay again and have already recommend it to friends.

Stayed at East Rose for a week, high on Bodmin Moor the views were stunning, lovely location to escape it all! We stayed in Moor Cottage, had everything we needed, very cozy! Grounds were kept spotless! Great location to reach all popular destinations and beaches, roads are small and windy but you get used to them. We purchased some pasties and cake from the “treats menu” made by the hosts which was lovely and the complimentary cream tea on arrival was lovely. Hosts were very nice and made to feel welcome, we will certainly return.

"Fantastic place to stay, even in October"
Lovely cosy cottage. Super comfy bed. Hosts went out their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Cottage is at a perfect location. In between north and south coast, and very close to all the major attractions, Eden Project, Tintagil. We were visiting in Mid October, it was a great time to visit Cornwall. No crowds or traffic. On our visit to Looe we were the only one on the beach! Perfect.

"Wonderful location; one or two quirks"
Stayed here for 5 days and loved it - wonderful location, both in terms of its immediate surroundings which are quiet and peaceful, but also in terms of visiting nearby places. Friendly hosts too. I had to do a bit of work here whilst I was staying (boo) and was relieved the broadband here was really quick, although there's no phone reception but that wasn't an issue for me. I also saw the world's biggest slug* here, which was an unexpected bonus. If I had a couple of niggles it'd be that bathroom towels weren't provided (you can rent them for a fiver though) and little things like soap or sugar weren't also provided. I mean, these are in no way things that spoilt my stay but were just a little unexpected. Oh well, washing up liquid for soap never did anyone any harm! At least I don't think it did. Would've liked a little curtain over the small entrance window in the door to block views (i.e. I would've liked to have spent more time walking around in my pants, but hey ho) but again that wasn't a massive issue. Despite these couple of quibbles, I loved staying here and would definitely stay again. I'll bring some soap and sugar next time though. *may not literally have been the world's biggest slug. It was massive though.

"Great location and accommodation".
The cottage complex is set in a beautiful part of Cornwall a few miles north of Bodmin. This was our first visit to Cornwall and we really enjoyed our stay at East Rose. Maddie the sheltie and Izzie the border collie especially loved the dog friendly beaches along the North West coast and enjoyed the morning walk round the East Rose Lakes and swimming in the River at Delford Bridge just 500 yards walk away.

Shippen is a lovely 2 person cottage on East Rose Farm. It is one of 7 cottages. It’s really comfortable and has everything you need, and is very good value for money The hosts are lovely also, we had a cream tea in our cottage on arrival. It is located on Bodmin Moore near St Breward, this is a great location to explore most of Cornwall. Can’t think of a single negative, so very highly recommended, we will definitely come back again!

"Fantastic week at East Rose"
We have just returned from a week staying at East Rose. On arrival we where greeted by freshly baked scones and clotted cream/jam. impressed with our accommodation it was spotless, with amazing views over the moor. A lounge/kitchen was comfy and practical with lots of features you hope to find in a country cottage. Beams and 2 foot thick walls vaulted ceilings etc. The bedroom was spacious and had ample storage space a great double bed clock radio and bedside lamps. The shower room was modern and very clean. WiFi was available at no extra cost and we had no issues using it. Outside the garden where well maintained and had lots of places to sit and enjoy the setting and views, to walk all around the grounds and the fishing lakes would probably take a good 30 minutes as there is so much to see. The fishing itself was really enjoyable and I ended up going a few times for a couple of hours at a time and caught some quality fish in a really pleasant setting. We enjoyed our stay so much we booked again for next year. Highly recommended.

We stayed in Moor cottage with our dog Izzy and had a fantastic holiday, the peaceful location offers moors on the doorstep and beautiful beaches within 30 minutes, we explored castles, Bodmin prison, stone circles, waterfalls and woodlands as well as several beaches, well behaved dogs are very welcome at most places including most pubs, cafes etc. Moor cottage was very well equipped with everything you could want and very clean and cosy with a delicious cream tea waiting on arrival, the home baked food we ordered was truly scrumptious, the chocolate cake was very quickly devoured. We would definitely recommend staying at East Rose and would love to stay again ourselves, many thanks to Becky and Matthew for our excellent stay.

"Quiet and Relaxing"
If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful stay in ideallic countryside - then this is the place to go. Cosy and comfortable cottage. Black out curtains + exceptionally comfortable bed = great night sleep Friendly hosts with the right balance of getting to know you but also leaving you to your own privacy Great home baked goods Loved waking up to the sound of sheep ! Really nice lakes to walk around Overall 5* NB our dog is very allergic to mosquito bites and I was a little worried about staying so close to lakes as to whether there would be large numbers of biting insects. Overnight she was in a mosquito net covered dog bed just to be safe but we didn’t get any bites at all, so no need to worry!!

This was our third time at East Rose and will definitely not be our last. With the stunning fishing lakes surrounding the cottage, the moors right on your doorstep, the ponies, and the delightful the Lank river, the location could not be more idyllic. Also perfect for visiting nearby iconic Cornish towns and beaches.

We have stayed at East Rose for over 20 years. This is the 6th cottage we have tried. Nothing wrong with the other five, just thought we would give this one a go. The Shippen was on arrival clean and tidy. (As was all the others). The scones were lovely. The cottage was light and airy with views towards Rough Tor. The owners were friendly but not intrusive and offered to help with the suitcases from the car. We have already booked Shippen for next year, which says a lot about the place. The whole site is restful and quiet. The best place to relax and unwind".

"Outstanding, well worth a visit"
East Rose is a fantastic pet friendly place to stay, with amazing views over Bodmin Moor. The property has five lakes and the surrounding area is teeming with nature. The area is very peaceful and quiet but close to small villages with village shops and pubs. The beach is within easy access too - around 30 minutes by car. Rose Cottage is very comfortable and well maintained and has everything you might need. On arrival, it was great to be met by Becky, Matthew and their children and good to know they were on hand if needed. They are very friendly and helpful. The Cottage was spotlessly clean and the delicious cream tea was much appreciated. This was our second stay at East Rose and we and our dog thoroughly enjoyed it. We can't wait to return. This outstanding property really is well worth a visit.

Staying again at East Rose was such a pleasure. Matthew, Becky, Edward, and William are so welcoming and friendly, and couldn’t be more accommodating. They all made me feel right at home. The Shippen is my favorite cottage—clean, cozy, and well appointed, with great views out toward Brown Willy and Rough Tor.

We booked 5 nights stay here with our 4 year old and two miniature Daschunds. We couldn’t have been happier with this great little find. Secluded location with plenty of scenic spots, loved the little ponds out the back. Becky and Mathew are so welcoming and William and Edward so very charming ! Loved the cream tea waiting for us on arrival. Oh and Don’t forget to request some home cooking While you are there - sausage rolls were our favourite. Thank you for your hospitality. We will be back for sure Lots of best wishes Bhavna, Vikas and Rhea

"Excellent hidden gem"
We have stayed here on several occasions over the last couple of years and couldn't recommend it enough. Lovely family run business, gorgeous peaceful location and clean pretty cottages.

"A week at Mowhay Cottage"
Mowhay cottage is set in East Rose complex which enjoys good views over the Moors and also the well kept grounds with lakes for walks and fishing. The cottage has all necessary facilities and is extremely well presented. A nice touch is the welcoming tea and scones. (Goodies being pasties/cakes etc can be ordered) The cottage has easy access to walks and beaches. Also good pub being The Old Inn about a mile away. Also very dog friendly. Matthew and Becky are extremely helpful should you need them.

"Beautiful cosy cottage"
East Rose is very easy to get to, a 10 minute drive from the a30 and has an idyllic rural Moreland setting. It's so quiet! The cottage is lovely and the bed is very comfortable. Its a great base for walking and site seeing. We walked a long round trip from the cottage to rough tor and brown willy and also did some shorter walks to the pub! The pub does some good food (moorland grill!) We also did some day trips to the eden project, padstow and charlestown. The camel trail isnt too far away either. We'll definitely be staying again!

"Moor Charm
Having stayed in Shippen, Rose and, most recently, Moor Cottage, I can say they are equally appealing and welcoming. Moor Cottage is just charming, very cozy and well-appointed. The views out over Bodmin Moor are spectacular in all weather and at all times of day or evening. Becky, Matthew and their boys are fabulous hosts, gracious and accommodating. The surrounding property with its lakes and trails is beautifully maintained and ideal for fishing, relaxing, bird watching and just enjoying nature. East Rose is a special place I would return to again and again".

February 2019 - Rose
What a wonderful place, this was exactly what we were after. Beautiful scenery, very peaceful, lovely lakes to walk around, not to mention all the lovely moorland to venture onto just a stone throw away. The cottages were very well maintained and absolutely spotless clean. Matt and Rebecca were very welcoming and did everything they could to help with anything. We will certainly be back

The roads from the junction of the A30 to East Rose, is narrow, and must be driven carefully, but the views of Bodmin Moor, and the Tors make it all worth while. Our welcome at Eastrose was very warm, and well welcoming, and we were shown into Moor Cottage, which is a very solidly built granite stone terrace cottage. It is comfortably furnished, well decorated, and extremely well kept, and clean. Everything we needed for our stay was provided,( except towels ), and everything that was supposed to work, worked perfectly. The views from this property, high on Bodmin Moor are excellent in every direction, and it is so quiet. All in all we found East Rose the perfect base for our exploration of this part of Cornwall. Would we stay here again ? Definitely ! P.S. The complementary Devon Cream Tea provided by the owners was delicious.

"Beautiful countryside, peace and tranquility.....
Warm welcome on arrival. Cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Although it was quite nippy outside, the storage heaters kept us as warm as toast. Beautiful views across the moor. Even though we were not anglers, we enjoyed our walks around the immaculately maintained fishing lakes. The only minor minus point was that the beds were a bit on the hard side, but all-in-all excellent value for money and would certainly book here again".

"Super Basis für die Erkundung von Cornwall und Bodmin Moor
Die Unterkunft war toll, sowohl landschaftlich als auch bzgl. Ausstattung. Es ist zudem wunderbar ruhig und entspannend. Mir hat der 2-wöchige Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen!"
(Translated using Google Translate) Great base for exploring Cornwall and Bodmin Moor. The accommodation was great, both landscaped as well as regarding equipment. It is also wonderfully quiet and relaxing. I liked the 2-week stay very much!

"The best place to stay"
We have been coming to East Rose for the last 16 years. That says something about the place. The setting is quiet and tranquil. Over that time we have stayed in four of the available cottages, but our favourite is Stable. The view from it is marvellous. It has plenty of room for us, a good layout, and is always clean, tidy and comfortable. The owners are always friendly and helpful - Becky’s home made cakes are a must have. Evenings sitting at one of the picnic benches overlooking the lakes with the tors in the background in the peace and quiet is one of the reasons that brings us back.

"Fantastic holiday location and accommodation"
This is the third time I have returned to this holiday complex and each time there is something new to discover. Previously having stayed in Stables Cottages we booked Barn due to larger numbers. As with the other cottages, Barn was immaculate, with excellent facilities and very spacious. Barn was exemplary in respect to creating the perfect holiday experience and represents excellent value for money. To be fair, I feel for the provisions and location, the owners would be very justified in charging more than they actually do. Most of all though, I must acknowledge the kindness, authenticity and generosity of both Matthew and Becky. They were very understanding, accepting and accommodating which is just fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending this venue apart from, the more popular it becomes, the harder it might be to book a vacancy 🙂

We have been staying at East Rose for the last 3 years and will be returning again next year. Beautiful surroundings. The kids Love coming and are always so excited to return. They love the lakes and the river just down the road. Seeing the sheep, cows and ponies free on the Moores they adore. The cottage is excellent and everything you need for a family holiday. Fantastic location to be able to explore cornwall.

"Perfect accommodation for exploring Cornwall & Bodmin Moor"
For a 14-days holiday in Cornwall East Rose was the perfect base! The cottage was lovely, everything necessary was there. The surroundings with the lakes and the Moor are great, also for walks / hikes. Also it is wonderfully quiet and peaceful - excellent for relaxing!

"Excellent cottage for two plus dog
Very peaceful and comfortable. A really lovely location for rocket our cavalier. The sandy area by the bridge is just a short troll away and he loved it there, just like a beach but clean water".

"Excellent stay at East Rose

"Loved it!"

August 2018 - Barn
"We had a lovely stay with the hosts very welcoming and the facilities great. Our children had a fab time both on the premises and cycling over the moor. The cream tea on arrival was a nice touch. The only thing we would change is the pay washing machine. We appreciate its only £2 per load but in the grand scheme I suspect this could be covered by the rental fee? Thanks for a great week".

August 2018 - Shippen
"Friendly welcome, outstanding clean facilities, location is good if you want to fish or want to explore Cornwall but is not ideally located to pop out for an ice cream etc, having said that the location is beautiful and quiet with only the odd sheep to be heard. I loved that our dog was welcome and the bed was super comfy. Added bonus of free WiFi was welcomed as there is literally no signal! Absolutely loved the complementary cream tea on arrival too!!"

"Wonderful cottage it had everything we needed and more. The fresh scones were very welcoming on arrival. Set on 17 acres with beautiful walkways around their ponds, it was quiet and peaceful, with the only sounds being birds and sheep. It was a perfect base for the week as we explored Cornwall. Thank you Becky and Matthew for making our visit to Cornwall so relaxing".

"A Lovely Cottage
We thought that the cottage was in an excellent location, very quiet and relaxing.  The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that we needed and the whole cottage was warm and cosy.  We enjoyed our stay very much".

"We had a wonderful holiday in Shippen East Rose.  For a one bedroom cottage it was surprisingly spacious.  The location was stunning on the edge of Bodmin Moor within easy access to North and South Cornwall.  Becky and Matthew were friendly and helpful and the cream tea awaiting us on arrival was lovely.  The fishing lakes were very well maintained and a treat to walk around.  Our dog was made welcome so all in all a great success".

"Perfect for a get away from it all break
This is the second year we have stayed in Stable, it is clean and comfortable, and well maintained.  Matthew and Becky are very welcoming.  There are lovely walks around the lakes and the surrounding moor, and not too far from the coast.  If peace and quiet are what you need, thsi is the place to stay".

"We have stayed in Mowhay a couple of times.  It is situated with lovely views over Bodmin Moor and Delphy bridge, and various animals as neighbours.  Mowhay is a very well equipped cottage and very clean.  The area around the cottage is kept very neat and tidy with lovely walks around the lakes, fishing available for those who enjoy it.  It is also easy to get to the Camel Trail or beaches.  Becky and Matthew are always there to help out but also leave you to enjoy your holiday.  A nice touch when you arrive are scones and jam - delicious.  I also loved Lemon Drizzle cake which you can order along with other goodies".

"Home from home, everything you need, fantastic views, beautiful grounds
The location was perfect, Bodmin at its best.  Local villages interesting with lovely pubs.  Great walks and superb dog friendly beaches especially Perranporth and Watergate Bay.  Conveniently situated for both north and south Cornwall - being only 5 min drive from the A30 - even though cottages are rural and peaceful.  Becky and Matthew are really friendly and the home cooked food on offer was very tasty.  The cottage has everything you need with fully equipped kitchen and modern bathroom with great shower.  I would happily stay there again".

"Mowhay at East Rose comfortably exceeded all our expectations
Overlooking the famously picturesque Delphi Bridge, East Rose enjoys an unspoilt panorama over Bodmin moor.  Mowhay Cottage itself provided the four of us with spacious, clean and tidy accommodation for the 6 nights of our stay, which comfortably exceeded all our expectations and requirements.  Becky's welcoming cream teas on arrival were much appreciated, as were the home-made pasties and cake that followed.  Both Matthew and Becky were also keen to ensure that we had all we wanted, even though they'd evidently anticipated everything.  The village of St Breward is conveniently nearby and well served by an excellent pub and well stocked stores.  East Rose also proved to be an ideal base for our trips to Wadebridge, Rock and Polzeath on the North coast, and to Fowey on the South.  The house and gardens at Pencarrow, between Wadebridge and Bodmin, also proved to be a very worthwhile place to visit.  Very happy to recommend East Rose as an excellent place to stay; we'll be looking to return on our next visit to Cornwall".
