From the booking process everything was simple and the staff were so helpful! This was the perfect week, the house was so spacious, the bedrooms were huge and the best part was the stunning sea view from every room on the front! We left our curtains open in the bedroom as waking up to the view of the morning sunrise over the sea was so special! The kitchen was really well equipped and lounge and dining areas were fab and very sociable. The only thing I would say is we took our 4 dogs that loved it but there needs to be a gate at the bottom of the garden to make it doggy safe as it leads out onto the Rd. The stroll from the house to the shops, restaurants and pubs was lovely and so close! Ideal position to be higher up for the full view but yet still really close! Local places we loved eating at were St Mawes Hotel, The Rising Sun & The Victory Pub. The fresh caught fish from St Mawes Seafood stalk was incredible! I have already recommended this house to several people!
We enjoyed our stay in this great location. However it needs a gate at the bottom of the garden. And sun loungers. Then it would be great. The original blurb , needs to be clearer regarding the pool use, as it said only heated July-August. What is should have said was only open July-August. As the pool company winterised it during our stay. Which was a bit disappointing.
We had to book at short notice and were delighted to find this property - very comfortable, for the most part well furnished and equipped and with a view that couldnt be bettered (we know St Mawes well). It appears that the owners are investing in the property by updating and renewing on a rolling basis which is good to see. The housekeeper was helpful when we needed to contact her. Our only quibble is that it is described as a luxury property - its very comfortable but not luxurious, and doesnt need to be, so our quibble isnt with the house but with the marketing.
If it had been a booking that ten people had shared the cost for the week it would have been good value for money obeit if it had been cleaned properly!! I am a managing director who bought my staff in few small groups down over a few nights, and paid for the property myself. I wanted to complain at the time , but decided that it was best to wait I was embarrassed and cleaned a lot myself The sofas were disgusting underneath the cushions food and dirt had collected over many months. when the sofas were moved they had also been neglected underneath and the floor had built up dirt and dust and old stale food In a cupboard I found a half eaten plate of stale Dorito's on arrival great covid assurance! Especially as we had to arrive later to allow for extra cleaning ? The kitchen was greasy and the white goods needed to be cleaned again The property even though it has an amazing view is old tired and in general need of an update The gardens were full of weeds and the barbeque was unusable. The pool was half empty and apparently leaks the cover was impossible to open. When we had to call someone out he said that the issues had been raised many times about the leaking pool We didn't use it either My recommendation is to get a new cleaner and maintenance team
This is a perfect family holiday house. Not too smart so families can relax. Good for very small children as you can contain them and it has spectacular views and the swimming pool is a real bonus. Walking distance to all shops and facilities in st mawes. Could not recommend it more highly.
This is a good property in a fantastic location with amazing views ; all was clean and tidy on arrival - what you should expect ; we had a couple issues with house ( shower thermostats being main one) but all were dealt with very quickly so the support team need a pat on back for this - as last thing you need on hols is chasing people when you have an issue . The layout of the front room ; dining area and kitchen really suited us as meant we could all lounge /eat together - having the downstairs was also a nice hideaway for some of us! - for us though ( all adults) this may have been better split into two rooms - only one note caution there are a lot of steps down to lower road and the slope driveway wow bit of nerve for that And finally - St Maws is also a lovely village /setting - its a shame that not all was open when we went ( first week post Covid ) But all in all highly recommended and we will be back
Excellent accommodation with superb views over percuil river estuary and Falmouth bay. The plunge pool is plenty big enough for kids to swim in. Steep drive to the property a bit of a challenge to the faint hearted and the 90 odd steps up from Lower Castle rd can be a bit daunting for some. Difficult to fault the property itself - if nit picking I would say it could do with some more tea spoons and glasses.
The property is obviously designed for two families and their children, We as a couple found it it to be comfortable but not luxurious as I had been lead to believe. It has obviously had a lot of work carried out in recent years. The bedrooms were very basic, with medium sized beds, the dining furniture was screwed together and the lounge settees, whilst large were far too low for people of our age, The setting was superb, but although we had been warned the gradient down to the property was very daunting.
Had a great time in Upper Cobblestones. Location is fantastic, especially when blessed with sunshine. Worth mentioning however - the drive is VERY steep. After unloading when we arrived, we left the car at the top, even for loading up again when we left. Balcony is 100% safe, but would be good to have a couple of low tables; a little narrow for eating out, but fine for drinks! Sofas are for sinking into, but hard to get out of!
We were a group of friends visiting the Roseland for a wedding. We had a wonderful weekend, the views from the cottage were awesome, very comfortable in every way and we are determined to return!
Weve stayed at this house several times before and before the prices were raised the location and view made up for the poor condition of the house. We had hoped there would be investment to match the increased price but it was clear Thiabyear that is not the case. The house is tired and unloved and in need of updating and adding a few quality and comfort touches. It is functional but in poor repair. Compare this cost with similar properties and the value does not stand up. Its a real shame as the location and view are top quality.
Fantastic views great house for our large family. Drive rather steep wouldnt want to use it in very cold weather. Kitchen could do with a new large cooker. Balcony unsafe for toddlers and young children. Would recommend to friends without young children, but most like us have young grandchildren!
Stunning location with fantastic views over the estuary from the living room and bedrooms. The plunge pool was bigger than expected which came as a welcome surprise. Very pleasant walk down to St Mawes harbour via the garden steps. (Some motion sensor lighting would be helpful at night when returning from the village.)
Stunning location. A lovely area to explore and sightsee, with walks from the doorstep. The local shops are well equipped.
... so why put one sofa with its back to the view? Anyway, lovely house. Great view. Fast WiFi. Comfy beds. Could have done with summer-weight duvets though. Took the lovely ferry to Falmouth, and explored St Mawes & the castle.
A lovely well appointed holiday property with stunning views and spacious accommodation. Lovely and warm throughout during a cold, wet and blustery weekend. Unfortunately the wifi would not work at all for the entire stay which was a nightmare for two teenage children. It would have been a nice touch to have left a welcome pint of milk and maybe a loaf of bread as after a four and a half hour trip in horrendous rain we then had to go back out to try and source some! Still, we had a lovely stay!
