“We had a lovely week at Rose Cottage which is spacious, warm, well-equipped and in a gorgeous semi-rural location.”

The garden is generous and looks out over the countryside. There is good off-road parking and the garden was secure for our large dog. Lots of lovely small seaside villages to visit and countryside/coastal walks all within easy driving distance. There are many public footpaths around the village too. Would definitely recommend this as a destination. The only slight drawback is if you are over 5’10 as there are a couple of low doorways and beams (mentioned in the property description) The dog and I were fine but the husband suffered a couple of times!!! All in all, a great holiday and we would stay at Rose Cottage again.

“We were very grateful for the welcome treats when we arrived, thank you.”

The cottage was a lovely place to spend a few days in and explore the area from. I would recommend that either a photo of the stairway or some text in the info to say that there is no hand rail for those who have mobility issues. The other info which needs updating is the pub a few minutes walk away is closed for renovation for some time ahead, as does the pubs own website!

“Clean, spacious, well equipped, pretty cottage with a lovely garden.”

A kind welcome note and tray of goodies added to our pleasure at returning to Rose Cottage.

“An absolutely fantastic cottage.”

Beautiful garden and great facilities. Only slight issue was the overflowing drain which produced an unpleasant smell - particularly after emptying bath. Other than that perfect ! :)

David February 2024

“A lovely comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage with amazing views, great for a relaxing break away from daily life in a very quiet location on the edge of Manaccan village.”

Enjoyed a number of lovely walks from the front door and time just watching nature and enjoying nothing but the sound of birdsong. Will definitely look to return in the future.

“Been before so knew what to expect,, amazing welcome pack by Jenny the caretaker, who answered a couple of queries instantly!”

Bit of a problem vacating property by 9am but not impossible I spose Beware,, the post code on the welcome sheet is incorrect so make sure you use Google map post code, not the one on the sheet!!!

- Steve, December 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and positive comments. We think you may not have noticed that the check-out time for Rose Cottage is 10am - this information was sent to you prior to your holiday, together with the correct postcode. We look forward to welcoming you again at the property - Cornish Cottage Holidays Property Owner
Kay September 2023

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely area, everything we needed was supplied, the welcome tray was the best we have had in any cottage we have stayed in.”

Fantastic walks right from the cottage with a pub within a 2 minute walk from the front door.Couldnt have wanted a better cottage to stay in the garden was superb, we definitely stay here again without hesitation, 10/10

Rosalyn September 2023

“Rose cottage was clean, comfortable, sweet smelling, and very welcoming.”

Thank you Jenny. We had a great stay, exploring the local beaches and creeks. The welcome tray was outstanding, the garden lovely and the blackberry laden garden hedge a real bonus! We also loved the artwork throughout the cottage. Thank you.

Frances April 2023

“Wonderful cottage in a picture perfect setting.”

Excellent garden for an aged dog. Surrounding area full of wonderful wild flowers. Good proximity for east Cornwall gardens & walks.

- Frances, April 2023
Elizabeth March 2023

“Really is a picture book cottage.”

The creaking floors and rattling windows all add to the character. The kitchen equipment, towels and bedding were of excellent quality. The welcome pack, including fresh flowers, was exactly that. Jenny was available promptly to assist with queries and problems. The only negative was the poor quality of the lounge seating. That and the outside furniture were past their sell by date and need replacing. It should also be noted that there is no longer a shop in the village. There are a couple of lovely walks from the village, and it is in a great location to tour the rest of the Lizard.

- Elizabeth, March 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave your positive comments, these are always appreciated. With regard to the furniture, this was chosen to fit in with an old cottage and is aesthetically interesting. We have updated the listing with regard to the local shop and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner
Paul December 2022

“Lovely thatched cottage, very comfortable but squeaky floorboards so can't sneak around or hide.”

Details don't mention downstairs toilet - this was a pleasant surprise on arrival. Close to local pub and lovely walks around coast and to Helford. Welcome tray was another surprise and much appreciated. Good value.

- Paul, December 2022
Vicki December 2022

“Overall the cottage was warm, lots of hot water and we liked the character.”

The beds were really very comfy with lovely Egyptian linen. The kitchen and front room were both spacious and comfortably fit the 6 of us, and our dog. The bath was a welcomed addition in the very spacious bathroom. We also welcomed the mince pies and wine on arrival and being allowed to check in earlier, as we had a lot of stuff (Christmas). Unfortunately, there were a few things that for us, let the cottage down, which was a real shame. The shower leaked through the floor boards, into the kitchen below. When we contacted Jenny, she was aware of it - this was pretty astounding - to let a property with a known issue. We understand cottages have character, but having 6 people showering, you loose your sense of humour mopping it up on a daily basis. Not everyone likes a daily bath. The cottage was pretty dusty, especially the carpet in the front room. Being that we were at full capacity, and it was Christmas, furniture was moved about to allow space for kids to play and for everyone to sit around together for the TV and board games. This moved a lot of dust about, and unfortunately my son suffers with dust allergies. You couldn't open the windows in this room as they were locked with a window lock key. For 6 people, there needs to be more glassware and mugs. We used all the plates, but some of these are too big and do not fit in the dishwasher. The kitchen was a nice airy space but in the cold Cornish winter the windows were incredibly difficult to open (again this was mentioned to Jenny). The back door (patio) was warped and difficult to open/lock and definitely needs some attention. A check out of 9am is incredibly early and something I had missed upon booking. We therefore left a day early, so we didn't have to get up at dawn to leave at 9am. Overall, we enjoyed having a change of scene as a family. We had some lovely walks to Helford Village. The cottage is in a little village, which was really quiet. Unfortunately, I feel it was overpriced for the issues mentioned above, as it wasn't as relaxed as we had hoped and therefore we wouldn't stay again.

- Vicki, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback which we always welcome. We have checked the shower and can't find any leaks. The housekeeper believes that it may be guests leaving the curtain/ screen not fully across at the time of showering. The cottage's carpets were professionally cleaned before arrival and so we are slight confused as to why they would be "dusty". The windows should all open even if they are a bit "sticky" however, we will check this on change over and thank you for bringing it to our attention. Property Owner
Gillian October 2022

“This was probably to most lovely place I have ever stayed in.”

From the look of the place, to the gorgeous welcome gift from the host.... it was really second to none. I want to thank the owner for letting us share that piece of joy. Warm, clean, comfortable and everything you needed for your stay Some of the local roads were a bit hair raising, but we found the ideal way in and out if the village. Just want to say sorry... we left the light on, but the rain had truly come in, and we were in the car. Wonderful stay, would recommend to anybody. Xx

- Gillian, October 2022
Michael September 2022

“Loved staying here.”

..again! Comfortable and warm (October), as only a 'thatched' can be. A BIG plus is that we love this area and the walks.

Louise August 2022

“Just returned from the most perfect weeks holiday.”

Rose cottage was an absolutely idyllic Cornish cottage in breathtaking surroundings.

Caroline July 2022

“Rose Cottage is a true gem.”

So homely and a beautiful location. There are houses nearby but you wouldn’t know it, it’s so peaceful! The house is well equipped with plenty of space. We had to make contact about a few small things and nothing was too much trouble to get it all sorted (thank you to the lovely Jenny). The garden was perfect for our family including our dog. We will definitely be returning, we love this part of Cornwall. The only slight downside is the 6pm check in and 9am checkout but perhaps these have been imposed since the pandemic.

- Caroline, July 2022
Juergen July 2022

“We had a perfect stay!”

Thanks for the warm welcome!! If we come back, we will stay again in the Rose Cottage! Thanks!!

- Juergen, July 2022
Helen December 2021

“Rose Cottage was a lovely place to stay at Christmas.”

It looked very welcoming when we arrived after dark, with the hallway lit up and a pretty Christmas tree to greet us, plus a nice gift and welcome message awaiting us.The cottage itself was charming with it’s thatched roof and low beams (not so good if you’re 6ft 3!). It was clean and well-equipped, comfortable and warm. I would definitely recommend Rose Cottage.

- Helen, December 2021
Paul October 2021

“Absolutely wonderful cottage.”

The views are stunning. Well equipped and Jenny the house keeper ensures it’s immaculate. Very dog friendly with a beautiful garden. We’ll be returning! Thank you for an amazing break!

- Paul, October 2021
Keith September 2021

“This is a lovely cottage we would recommend but if you don’t like driving on small lanes and I mean small it’s not for you.”

Had a great time

- Keith, September 2021
Jodie August 2021

“Very pretty cottage in a very beautiful part of the world.”

The garden is stunning with exceptional views and the cottage really benefits from the double doors leading out from the kitchen. We spent most of our time outside. Inside, be prepared for a typical old cottage, low ceilings and creaky floors, but this all adds to the experience. That part of Cornwall is simply stunning, you can walk from the cottage to Helford (and get the ferry over to Helford Passage), St Anthony and Flushing. We took a kayak and used it several times. It’s well placed for drives to Sennen, Kynance Cove and Portcurno, the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall. All in all a lovely week.

- Jodie, August 2021
Kate June 2021

“Beautiful chocolate box cottage with stunning views.”

Easy check in and hassle free. Did not really understand why Covid would cause the check in time to move back to 6pm, surely you clean the cottages anyway? and check out by 9am. Seemed excessive and basically cuts a day off the booking.

- Kate, June 2021

Thank you for you feedback. We are happy to hear you loved Rose Cottage and that you have been able to enjoy the lovely views. The check in and check out times have been moved due to Covid-19 Cleaning Guidelines. Property Owner

Stephanie May 2021

“Cottage was fantastic.”

It has everything you need, very clean and accommodating. The caretaker left us scones and wine- lovely touch! Very central to the area and a lovely little village. The pictures don’t do the cottage justice, it absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely be making a return.

- Stephanie, May 2021
Sarah December 2020

“Rose Cottage is a magical gem.”

Peaceful and cozy. Sunrises over the hills were a real highlight. The house is full of character. Even more beautiful and charming than the pictures and very quiet. Loved the fireplace and the tub. Absolutely spotless when we arrived with gorgeous welcome treats. Extremely helpful host! Manaccan is also charming. We felt very welcome. It was the perfect getaway and we can't wait to come back!!

- Sarah, December 2020

Rainer July 2018

“Very relaxing.”

Extrem Calm region (Culdrose Airfield is not very active). Way to next shop for "unexperienced one-lane drivers with only right-driving experience " small adventure for itself ;)

- Rainer, July 2018
Linda May 2018

“Very comfortable cosy cottage fabulous area of Cornwall and very easy booking process the only point I would raise, and this is not a criticism, is the lack of recycling boxes/bags.”

However after over 10 holidays in different cottages in Cornwall booked through different companies I find this is a common problem so maybe all you holiday companies should get together and find a solution.

- Linda, May 2018
Pat April 2018

“The cottage was warm, welcoming and had a lovely ambience.”

The cream tea, bottle of wine and coffee were very welcome. We had very good weather & managed a few uses of the picnic table. The garden is very pretty & the view over fields gave it an open feel. The beds very comfortable with very lovely bedding. A very comfortable lounge & the kitchen diner spacious & very well equipped. The New Inn, 2 minutes walk, is community owned & does food on certain nights, it is very friendly. We had very good weather & didn't need to travel off the Lizard, lots of walks, beaches,coves the river. I am sending a separate email to you as there are a few comments I would like to make to help improve the experience.

- Pat, April 2018
Vivienne September 2017

“Lovely cottage in an excellent location.”

Only inaccuracy was that the village shop has now closed. Nearest one around four/five miles away. Lovely welcoming touches with scones, jam and milk. Would definitely consider returning

The property

Picture perfect Rose Cottage sits on the edge of the pretty village of Manaccan enjoying far reaching views across rolling countryside.

For those who want to get away from it all this is the perfect spot.

The beach at Gillan Cove, under 2 miles away remains peaceful year round being relatively unknown.

For those who love to walk, the hidden creeks, dramatic cliffs and woodland of the Lizard Peninsula will delight.

In the village of Manaccan you will find a quaint 16th Century Inn.

Within walking distance, the delightful Helford village sits sleepily on the banks of the river of the same name.

From here you can hire a boat and go exploring or catch the passenger ferry to Helford Passage to visit Glendurgan and Trebah Gardens which are ablaze with colour in the spring and summer months.

This charismatic 16th century traditional thatch cottage oozes charm inside and out.

The enchanting sitting room which runs the width of the cottage has a magnificent Inglenook fireplace to one end with wood-burning stove.

The spacious farmhouse kitchen at the rear of the cottage has a rustic air with table and chairs for six.

Sunlight streams in through the French windows which open to a south facing private terrace overlooking the rolling countryside beyond.

A winding staircase leads up to the first floor where there are two charming double bedrooms, a twin room and a family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate shower.

Outside is a delightful south facing cottage garden which enjoys privacy and superb views.

There is off road parking for two cars.

About the location

MANACCAN

Helston 10 miles ; Helford 1.5 miles ; Porthallow 3 miles

The village of Manaccan on the South Helford is small and friendly, with an excellent restaurant, friendly village inn and a beautiful 12th century church. The South Helford is arguably one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Cornwall. With meandering country roads, picturesque creeks, tidal inlets and pretty waterside villages, the area can be summed up in three words: tranquil, charming and timeless. The perfect spot for enjoying outdoor living, the South Helford’s sheltered coves were made for messing around on the water and strolling leisurely along the banks. Leave your ‘phone behind and embrace the simple pleasures - while away time paddling in the shallows, explore hidden coves with a hire boat from St Anthony, and stroll through woodland to enjoy a picnic on the beach.

Note: this property does not have a cot. Note: Check in time for this property is 4pm.
Note: A short path and 7 steps to front door.
Note: Open fire for show only.
Note: Low beamed ceilings in sitting room, lowest point 178cm.
