Roscarna Reviews

Vicky
Lovely place, a great pub opposite so friendly & does an amazing roast. The property itself is roomy and nice, just needs a little TLC in some areas, The Hot tub is lovely, entrance hall is great for dogs & boots and very spacious. Bring extra tea towels!
Roger
Located down many narrow lanes you'll find your way to a tiny village with primary school, pub (excellent and dog friendly, food and hospitality top draw) and local butcher for BBQ meat and friendly service. The cottage is spacious for 8 Adults and 3 dogs (half the garden secure for dogs), clean and well equipped. Waitrose on it's delivery map, altRead morehough Asda only 15min drive. Games room and hot tub perfect for those days or evenings. BBQ hut used twice. Nice welcome basket. Loads of towels. Hide
Heather
Lovely bungalow situated in a quiet village. Good quality linen and plenty of towels (plus additional ones for the hot tub). Only problem was 4 of us sharing one bathroom, an additional cloakroom would have made life easier Fairly isolated (pub directly opposite was great though!) and there is a butchers in the village but nothing else.
Clare
Cottage was wonderful, very spacious and perfect for us 8 adults and 2 dogs. Furniture is lovely, had a few marks but we didnt mind that due to us having the dogs with us. Beds all comfortable. Cottage is in a remote area with some small lanes to drive through to get there but well worth a visit. Pub directly opposite too. Hot tub and games room weRead morere a fab addition. I would stay here again. Hide

Lovely property in a pleasant village. Plenty of room, and good quality furnishings and equipment. Some food and wine in a welcome pack was well received. Quiet village with a pub opposite.
Petrina
We had a fab time! Wonderful welcome to the house, really appreciated the gifts :-) Lovely that there weren't 'don't do this and don't do that' instructions but plenty of 'please use this and please help yourself'.. These people actually treat you like adults. Really lovely that kindling AND logs are provided free to use. A really uplifting experieRead morence! The indoor barbecue is a blast (not literally ha ha). The location is remote, you need to drive for provisions but bonus - pub is on the doorstep Hide

Jenny
Loved it here . All facilities were really good , could do with a clothes drier though . Property decor is not pristine , but with 8 of us and 2 dogs I was able to relax. The bungalow has a real home from home feeling and we had an exceptional week and lovely Christmas
Robert
We had a lovely time its a great location for visiting dog friendly beaches. The house is very well equipped for self catering the hot tub is very nice. Sadly the gardens are not kept very tidy lots of weeds and the grass was very long when we stayed. The beds are very comfortable and it is a very warm and cosy house considering the size of it.

Tired in places and showers slow and not very powerful, but apart from that loved it!
Helen

Brenda
Two couples 3 dogs, had the best time ever, would highly recommend
Angela
Fabulous Cottage, Hot tub was well used as weather was not as expected end of August. Games room was an added bonus. Lovely welcome hamper for humans and treats for dogs xx. Lovely Pub opposite, Great butchers in village, handy for the BBQ hut. Handy for Westward Ho! Beach and Clovelly. Secure garden for dogs was great, beware of the hole in the la wn though.
Jennifer
Lovely property & well equipped- perfect for 7 adults & dogs. Great games room & hottub - which came in very useful with the terrible weather.
Kirsty
A lovely property for 2 families to stay in. We really enjoyed our stay. Be aware for little ones that there is a drop step in the kitchen.
Heather
We had a great stay despite poor weather. Generally excellent facilities and fabulous to have the hot tub and games room as well as the BBQ hut. The situation was perfect and the contained garden for the dogs was great and very safe. Parking space was fantastic - we had four cars and could have got at least two more in. So much to do in the area th at we are thinking of perhaps staying again
Deborah
All absolutly fabulous!
Janet
We had a perfect stay at Roscarna Parkham despite the weather (quite a lot of rain ) we all had a great time. A lovely welcome hamper such an unexpected nice touch. It is located in a lovely little village but close to lots of attractions we visited The Big Sheep, Clovely ,Instow ,Bideford, Tarka Trail, Woolacombe. The house was perfect for us 6 ad ults, 1 infant and 3 dogs very spacious and the dog friendly garden where we knew they were all safe. Loved the Hot Tub. Highly recommend The Bell.
Ellen
Beautiful cottage. Ideal for a large family reunion. Pub opposite was a bonus. Games room could do with a bit of tlc to match to Hugh standards of rest of house.
David
Beautiful cottage, had a great time stopping here. Would highly reccomend one pitfall is the roads they are shocking, single track with few passing places and shocking potholes.
Wendy
We had a lovely stay at Rosecana, the owners have obviously taken alot of thought to ensure a comfortable stay. Accommodation was very clean well equipt , we were able to enjoy all the facilities , would definately like to return som day.
John
Had a great week. Nice walks in country side and on beaches with the dogs. Accommodation was great we used all the facilities. Hot tub, Hobbit House and games room. The log fire gave it a warm cosy feeling. Pub opposite locals very friendly. All in all a great week for eight of us and three dogs.
Claire
We stayed for a family birthday. We all had great fun and enjoyed the quality time. There was enough space and the woo burner made the house very cosy. The BBQ hut was amazing (We did have to go looking in the shops for coal though, which wasn't easy this time of the year) We all enjoyed the hot tub. The games room all be it a little chilly made fo r a few laughs. We had a lovely walk close to the bungalow to some woods which tired us all out. A fabulous time away.
Kerry
A wonderful spacious house with some outstanding features, beautifully clean, welcome hamper, tea making items, dishwasher tablets, bin bags all very much appreciated. The bbq hut, games room and hot tub were such an amazing benefit and used daily. A great location in a quiet village but not far from some places of natural beauty, welcombe mouth, c lovelly & westward ho to name a few that are well worth a visit. Would definitely love to stay here again.
Rebecca
Beautiful cottage! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend.
Hilary
Games room could do with a bit of love ! We did have fun in it but its very damp and darts board needs replacing (which is cheap enough! ) Coming from a ladies darts team haha
Sarah
Fantastic spacious house with great facilities (the BBQ hut was a fab added extra, especially on a rainy day). We had a great week and will definitely come back. Fabulous food in the pub over the road, but you need to book a table at the weekends.
Alison
Absolutely amazing place made a fabulous holiday
Nicola
Lovely house! It was well equipped with everything you need including extra towels for the hot tub and stuff for a picnic! Lots of space and the hot tub was great, just to be aware that the smallest room is very small, but otherwise it was great! Good location close to activities for families and beaches.
Bethany
Beautiful cottage in a lovely little village with a great pub directly opposite the house. The owners thought of almost everything and left a very nice hamper plus other nice goodies such as wine, tea bags, coffee, milk etc. The facilities were great and plentiful.
Suzanne
Lovely property. Well equipped. Hot tub & BBQ hut were a really great bonus. Welcome hamper was much appreciated. Took advantage of the pub directly opposite, eating there twice, would definitely recommend.
Margaret
Excellent accommodation for a family with children. Great location for peace and quiet but with easy access to some excellent beaches. Westward Ho! great for families with small children. The Bell pub opposite the house was great for food.
Victoria
Fantastic accommodation very clean and spacious we used the hot tub every day the games room was a good addition and the bbq hut was amazing the photos on the website really doesn't do it justice . Only downside in our opinion is its a little bit out of the way .
