Some properties pet friendly. It has often been said that Rosecraddoc Manor must be the nearest thing to paradise. The manor properties stand in 38 acres of beautiful grounds and woodlands, set around a lovely lake, stocked with carp, roach and bream. Rosecraddoc Manor features a variety of properties surrounding the historic Manor House to cater for all tastes whether classic, modern, cosy or cottage style is what you are looking for. The manor was built in the 1820s on the site of a much older house mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is Grade II listed, along with two bridges in the grounds, and has now been converted into these attractive apartments and cottages, making a perfect base for your Cornish holiday.
On site you can fish on the lake (bring own fishing licence, barbless hooks and landing nets must be used, please) or play tennis on the all weather court (smooth soled tennis shoes to be worn, not squash shoes; please bring your own racquets and tennis balls). If you can bear to leave this beautiful spot, just 2½ miles away in Liskeard there is a superb leisure complex, where you can enjoy squash, badminton, gym, indoor bowls and indoor leisure pools, which include a children’s pool and flume, as well as the main pool.
Within 4 miles you can explore Bodmin Moor, where you can go riding, walking or even try water sports on Siblyback Lake - wind surfing, dinghy sailing and canoeing are available. To the south, lovely sandy beaches and pretty fishing harbours lie along the coast. Several excellent golf courses can also be found in the area; and the Eden Project is only 20 miles away.
The Manor and the Coach House have been tastefully and sympathetically restored to please the most discerning guest. The cottages are refs B6859, CV7102, CV7103, CV17, CV13 and CV44. Some of the cottages are suitable for guests with disabilities (CV44 is designed for the convenience of visitors with disabilities, as well as able-bodied visitors), and ref B6859 boasts an American fridge/freezer. Access to the front door of the manor is by 3 stone steps. The apartments are refs CV14, CV20, CV11 and B4866 which are all on the first floor and ref CV12 is a ground floor apartment. Whichever you choose you will find it immaculately clean, with freshly laundered linen and tea towels. Please bring your own towels. Cot linen is not supplied. Cornwall is well known for its mild climate, but at Rosecraddoc Manor, even if it is cold outside, your accommodation will be warm and welcoming. There are several pubs locally.

The cottage and grounds were quite pleasant, however the lack of essential items was quite surprising, we knew we had to pay extra for electricity and towels and wifi, but no soap or condiments was surprising, no blankets were provided either , we spent our second day on holiday buying stuff to get us through the week , over the years we have stayed in many cottages so you come to expect a certain level , we went away Xmas week , it was cold outside, we had 2 storage heaters and a mini heater for the whole cottage , , it was absolutely freezing , also found a member of staff quite rude , no have a lovely time and merry Xmas , we were greeted with make sure you keep it clean and you’ve parked in the wrong place , I did point out it was pitch black when we arrived the night before , for anybody who decides to stay at rosecraddoc manor I would suggest you put an extra £100 aside to cover the basics which are normally covered at other places

Lovely cottage, clean and tidy with bags of character with the stone walls .Grounds and local woodlands are amazing!!! Welcome was fabulous, as was the local information provided by owner. My only recommendation for any improvement would be a friendly text or email about leaving on time. Being acosted in the carpark by an angry lady (2 days before departure due), who talked about types of people she doesnt like and poo a lot was unpleasent. This could have been easily avoided with automated messages. Overall, would absolutely recommend to people wanting a quiet, private getaway in fabulous Cornish countryside.
