Great stay

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a serene and family-friendly retreat that exceeded all expectations. Nestled in a peaceful corner, the accommodation was not only impeccably clean but also thoughtfully equipped with everything a family could need. From the abundance of games and outdoor toys for kids to the spacious outdoor play areas, it was a heaven for little ones to explore and enjoy. The tranquil surroundings provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation, while its convenient location served as an ideal base for exploring the stunning coastal attractions nearby.

Excellent

What can I say about this property just perfect the location was exactly as described. The owners were incredibly helpful giving us advice on best places to go like to lizard point to see the seals or to go to st earth to catch the train to st Ives along the coastal path. They were great with my son and made the holiday better than it could be.

The Hayloft

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great base for our walking holiday. The weather was wet and windy and The Hayloft provided a lovely cosy place to return to each day. Comfy beds, super bathroom, washer/drier, great view from the window...everything we needed! We will recommend to others.

Lovely Cornwall home from home - The Hayloft

Kevin and Kate made us feel very much at home and at ease right from our arrival. Everything is very comfortable and just right for a family of 4. The setting is great too with ample space to roam outside for kids and adults alike and a super friendly cat to boot. We will be returning - thanks Kevin and Kate

About the host

Hosted by Kate and Kevin Thomas

We moved to Cornwall as a family in October 2010 with the intention of setting up our own holiday letting business and to have our own Cornish escape from our previous lifestyle.

We are Kate and Kevin Thomas and have 3 young boys who love the freedom of the great outdoors.

Little Rosewarne is a smallholding of some 10 acres and in the past has had its own dairy herd. We started to convert the old cattle shed and creamery at the beginning of 2012 and wanted to maintain the character of the building while providing a sustainable future for the farm.

We keep chickens at Little Rosewarne and currently enjoy eggs from 3 Copper Marans, 2 Speckled Marans and one Cream Legbar. We also raise Berkshire pigs. These are black haired and famed for their great quality pork.

Why they chose this property

We bought Little Rosewarne after holidaying in the Porthleven area over the past 20 years. We know the area well and would spend most of our holiday time either in Porthleven or towards Falmouth.

When we made the decision to move to Cornwall we knew we wanted to be close to the things and areas we loved. However, we had never been to Godolphin Cross or for that matter Godolphin House. But when we saw Little Rosewarne, we fell in love with the place and felt with its proximity to the areas we enjoyed spending time in, it would make the ideal place for us to live and raise our family.

Little Rosewarne itself is a traditional Cornish farmhouse with extensive gardens. We wanted to buy a property where there was the potential for a blank canvas and for us to make our own mark. The first of which is The Old Dairy. It also means we are close at hand if we are needed.

The area is stunning because it is situated near to Godolphin House with easy access to the the beach and fantastic areas and places to explore.

What makes this property unique

We believe that 'The Old Dairy' and 'Hayloft' at Little Rosewarne is the perfect place to escape to, and explore this part of Cornwall. We hope that having spent many years staying in quality holiday accommodation we have worked out what works and what is sometimes missing and it is to this end we hope we can provide that little something extra. If you feel we have forgotten something or there is something we can do to improve your stay then please ask.
