Such friendly hosts, everything lovingly decorated and clean. And it’s very, very quiet here.
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.

“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.”
“This is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered! We loved the location, fantastic views, so peaceful and surrounded by wildlife. The Tamar valley delivers on so many fronts walking, coast and beautiful scenic gardens. Kellywyk is very well maintained and equipped and the sunny garden is an added bonus. Kirsty and Barry are excellent hosts, very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely go back and can highly recommend a visit.”
We booked this cottage because it was reasonably close to family we were visiting in Cornwall. It met our criteria of parking, walk in shower, freezer and washing machine/dryer. The property was spotlessly clean with lovely towels and bed linen. It had everything we required for our comfortable stay. The outside space was a bonus. Barry & Kirsty were excellent and very helpful hosts. We also thank them for sharing their local knowledge. The welcoming cream tea was greatly enjoyed. Richard & Sue
“Had the most wonderful week in Tikkidew. The cottage is truly tranquil in an idyllic location. Kirsty & Barry couldn’t be more helpful directing us to some beautiful parts of Cornwall, recommending local pubs, villages and walks to visit. This is a hidden gem. We will be coming back.”
Dear Kirsty & Barry, We enjoyed your cosy cottage. The view here is beautiful and serene, you really found a gem :¬) We wished we could have stayed longer. Ps. We LOVED your herb garden and flowers.

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.

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!
