6 reviews from guests who stayed at Rosenwyn Barn at Croft Hooper
We booked this beautiful cottage and it did not disappoint. The cottage amazing and loved the hot tub. Bed really comfy and fab to sit in the sunny garden of an evening with a glass of wine. The hosts were superb. Thank you. Will definitely return. Fantastic position to access so many places.
We spent a lovely 3 nights here. Perfect location for exploring the wonderful beaches north and south and within easy reach of Penzance, Hayle and St Ives. Secure garden for dog and short car journey to Marizion beach near St Michael's Mount. Fabulous hot tub! Clean, well appointed with decent crockery and cutlery and good WiFi. Definitely come back!
The accommodation is good, offers plenty of space and is generally clean but sofa & oven needs a good clean. Log fire & hot tub are perfect after a day out exploring. Kitchen could be better equipped for self-catering, lack of basic utensils and small fridge with compartment freezer. The garden patio could do with a jet wash. The hot tub was clean but I think had a little too much chlorine in it. The sofa is ok, but could be better. The beds are really comfortable, clean & fresh. Overall we had a great time and were able to feel comfortable and relax. A few tweaks could be made.
Location of the property was fantastic, easy driving distance from all of the places we wanted to visit and not far from a variety of shops. Hot tub was a nice way to relax at the end of a long day. Overall finish of the property was quite shabby, there were multiple areas where plaster had not been sanded but just painted over, the floor downstairs had scratches all over it and the stair railing was really loose at the bottom. The front door had dropped making it difficult to open and close. The oven trays were dirty with burnt on food with no foil to cover them. The extractor fan in the bathroom could also use a good clean. The toilet seat in the bathroom didn't even fit the toilet, to be honest it wasn't worth having!! The back garden would have been amazing but for a few small improvements to the fencing, it is a lovely size but just not safe for a small dog! The fencing at the back has rolled up in places where our dog could have easily got through (yes he tried) and would have had full access to a main road. I don't mind supervising my dog in the garden but we had to keep him on a lead at all times because it wasn't safe.
A great stay in a nice little cottage, the cottage had all the required amenities and a nice little welcome hamper. Hot tub was an added luxury and nice for an evening soak. Location as a base was perfect for dotting around some of southern Cornwall's key spots, no more than 10-15 minutes away from St Ives and only 5 minutes from Marizion to name but a few. Plenty of parking and overall a nice break away. Only things noted for improvement would be for instructions for the hot tub, especially temperature control :D. And also a lack of wall hooks and hangers in the bathroom/around the bedrooms for hoodies jackets towels etc. especially for a home that could house 5/6 family members (1 baby). Would definitely recommend a stay at this little gem.
We had a brilliant time in Cornwall staying at Croft Hooper. The location is ideal, with Penzance, St Ives, Lands End and so many gorgeous places in between all no more than 30 minutes away. The cottage itself is fantastic - had everything we needed and was very comfortable and spacious. Can tell the owners really put in the effort to keep it modernised and in good repair that is always appreciated.
