  The house itself is beautiful and the location idyllic, so peaceful.

  We had some lovely goodies from the cider farm on our arrival which were really nice. Unfortunately that’s where it ends. The smell of urine on the furniture and carpets was overwhelming and the first thing we did was go out and buy air fresheners and candles, we put our a throw over the sofa as it was stained and didn’t feel pleasent. We tried to cook in the kitchen but the extractor doesn’t work so all the alarms go of unless you have windows and doors open. We reported this by phone but never received any reply. The outside back door light doesn’t work and it feels very dark entering the property that way, which we did because there is the utility and coat hangers there. The second week my son complained of a rash on his arms and back, to our horror we discovered bed bugs in his bed. He changed rooms but that was the same. He had to sleep on the sofa downstairs. There is cobwebs all over the velux windows, while one is high the others are within easy reach and need to be cleaned. The shower whilst big needs bleaching around the bottom as there is black discolouration on the sealant. This would be an amazing place if it wasn’t for the cleanliness.

  We loved our stay here!

  The kids (10, 12, 13) had a great time with the pool table and there was plenty of space for the grown-ups (me, my husband, BIL, FIL) to hide from the noise. Excellent garden for the dogs, lovely furnishing inside the house, well-stocked kitchen. There are a few small things we would have liked - my husband and I both have quite sensitive skin so had to wash our sheets because they were either cleaned in biological washing powder or heavily starched. A washing line in the garden would have been really useful (the one in the downstairs loo didn’t have enough room) and a recycling schedule pinned somewhere would have been helpful (or for the management company to keep an eye on it) - we looked it up on Cornwall council’s website but clearly other recent guests had not so there was a bit of a backlog outside. These are really small things though, and we’d totally recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in the area - especially if they love Rattler like we do!

  Beggars roost is an interesting property with lots of space .

  I booked it for Xmas and it worked out well for 6 people. It is overlooking an active cemetery which is worth being aware of ,I felt I was intruding on families visiting there loved ones at times. It was a bonus the property had a games area , playing pool was a highlight. Be careful with the fridge it seems to over freeze . A good time was had at beggars roost and I’m sure in the summer is a great base for visiting other places. Only real criticism we paid a lot as it was Xmas time and would have appreciated a welcome pack which is always a nice touch when you first arrive at a new holiday property ,we were left some milk and couple of bottles of cider from the cider barn but know welcome… enjoy your stay …. Or maybe some tea bags and bread would have been a nice touch and one often done in other places I’ve stayed . That said it was good fun to get away at Christmas for a nice change

  The property was spacious, in a nice location and we thoroughly enjoyed the sports table.

  However, we are sadly unlikely to return to this property due to many other factors. The property was dirty. Dust and dead flies everywhere. We spoke to the property manager whilst there and they organised for cleaners come after our visit to more thoroughly clean the property. We were however not financially compensated for this. It took us, as a large family, around six hours to clean the property to a standard that we felt we could relax in. We’re not fussy people either. It was very dirty. Some other notes - broken tin opener, rusty cooking tins and heavily worn coasters. The property lacked basics such as washing up products, black bags, dish washer tablets, milk, coffee, tea, etc. It is a shame as the property has so much potential. If it were significantly cleaner and more essentials were provided then I would recommend.

  I will definitely be going back; a two night stay wasn't nearly enough in this lovely cabin.

  The cabin itself is beautiful, as is the view, and you couldn't ask for a friendlier or more welcoming, helpful host. At one point I was brought an extra blanket because they'd noticed the weather was getting colder. I will take that thoughtfulness over a five star hotel any day. Bonus appreciation to whoever built the fantastic wooden staircases; they're a marvel in themselves and are solid as a rock. My stay was from 1st March in horrible, wet, freezing cold weather and I loved every minute of it. I arrived after midnight having just had a hair-raising drive across a very snowy Dartmoor and was welcomed by two electric heaters and a kitchen to make a hot chocolate in. I hadn't been sure what to expect with the weather the way it was, but I couldn't have been cosier in my lovely toasty warm bed on both nights.
