Rowse Farm is tucked away on the edge of the Tamar Valley, a National Landscape (Formerly called an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Our peaceful pocket of tranquility is surrounded by trees and fields, however we are well placed for you to explore both the moors and sea – less than 30 minutes drive away. In addition to stunning wide open spaces and fresh air there’s a huge range of things to do to keep you entertained, interesting places to explore and many great places to eat, drink and be merry.
Rowse Farm has three holiday Cottages: Tikkidew, Skyber and Kellywyk are in row with their own private, secluded space. They are perfect individually or could be booked as a group if you wish to holiday with other friends or family members.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
A warm welcome awaits our guests with some local supplies, plus the all important Cornish cream tea ingredients – when in Cornwall it’s Jam First! In each cosy cottage bedding and towels are provided. If you have any special requirements please feel free to contact us.
Tikkidew is a split level cottage with top quality accommodation and real privacy. With a galleried bedroom, super king sized bed (or 2 singles), modern kitchen and bath/shower room, full central heating, cosy wood burner and double glazing, Tikkidew is spacious but has a sense of ‘home from home’ which proves popular with guests, receiving 5* reviews and repeat visitors.
Skyber is a superb family cottage offering excellent accommodation for 4 people (+ cot) and your dog! The cottage is well equipped and has two large double/twin bedrooms with super king sized double beds (or singles) and two shower rooms (one en-suite). Skyber, as with all our cottages is south facing, ensuring you can soak up those final rays of sunshine whilst you dine al fresco.
Kellywyk is also dog friendly so you can bring both your loved ones (!) Beautifully presented, Kellywyk is the old cider press, which has been converted into a compact, well designed, contemporary accommodation. There is a large en-suite bedroom with a super king, or 2 single beds. This cottage has a large private outdoor space to enjoy outdoor meals and relaxing on comfy loungers.
“Gorgeous location and fantastic hosts – the cottage was spotless, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay – it was the perfect spot to unwind. We did a lot of great day trips with some helpful tips from Barry, especially a lovely trip to Tavistock. Will definitely be back!”
“Have just returned from staying at Rowse Farm would definitely recommend we stayed in Tikkidew it had everything we needed very clean and comfortable and a lovely garden area extremely peaceful, also Barry and Kirsty were excellent hosts with plenty of knowledge about the area. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.”
Such friendly hosts, everything lovingly decorated and clean. And it’s very, very quiet here.
“Barry – good morning, we had a lovely time your set up is fantastic. Everything you need and want is available and more… Once again thank you.”
We stayed at Rowse Farm for a week in April 2025. Skyber is a beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean, spacious and with a very well-equipped kitchen. The location is so peaceful, whilst still being close to Plymouth, Looe and also having the option to walk into the nearby village pub for dinner. We enjoyed visits to the beach and to local National Trust properties with our cocker spaniel, and treated ourselves to a Michelin star meal at nearby Crocadon restaurant one night. Barry and Kirsty were fabulous hosts, and we came home relaxed and recharged.
“Perfect location for a week of exploring Cornwall and southwest Devon. Clean, bright, well-equipped, comfortable cottage set in stunning countryside. Quiet. Slept like a log. Lovely walks all around. Barry and Kirsty are brilliant hosts. Would definitely go back.”
Well behaved canine companions are welcomed to stay at our cottages, one dog per property. We ask that dog owners keep their four-legged friends on a lead at all times, respecting other guests and any livestock that may be in nearby surrounding fields.
There are a plethora of excellent river walks, woods, fields, vast moorland areas and dog friendly beaches in Cornwall for your happy hound to run free. Here is a link to which Cornish beaches are dog friendly and which ones have restrictions.
It’s possibly useful to know that our nearest local pub, the Weary Friar Inn at Pillaton, is 15 mins walk (0.7 miles) and very dog friendly.

Barry & Kirsty
After meeting on the “Clipper Round The World Yacht Race”, and previously spending many years living in the busy cities of London and York, we decided to move to the relaxing West Country to enjoy a better lifestyle. After much research, we bought Rowse – a 400 year old farmhouse & estate. Previous owners worked hard to restore it and it is now a beautiful home for us & our guests to enjoy.
We bought Rowse because of its secluded, peaceful location & its beautiful 40 acres of woods, pasture, streams & gardens. It is important to us that our guests enjoy their holiday, and as self catering cottage users ourselves, we make sure our 3 cottages are comfortable, clean, well equipped and most importantly fun to stay in.
We are confident that you will enjoy your stay and all that the West Country has to offer!
