The Experience
Standing like sentries guarding the village pub and green below are two whitewashed 1820s roundhouses with thatched roofs and crosses – believed to keep the devil away. Ingenious how everything fits so neatly within the curving walls in this cosy, quirky hideaway that’s full of local art and retro touches.
Step out from the kitchen extension with a morning espresso, park yourself on a lounger and watch the seagulls swoop in the pretty cottage garden. When night falls, soak in the roll top bath, then retire to an enormous bed under a vaulted ceiling.
Bring bicycles, dogs, kit for the beach and walking boots for the South West Coast Path; the Roseland Peninsula is awash with secret coves and seaside restaurants.

This is a wonderful place to take a holiday. Everything to do with staying at Round House East was easy, comfortable and thoughtful, we would definitely book again. The area has so much to offer with visitors well catered for (eg good coffee near the beach) without it being too touristy.

The Roundhouse is just as charming as it looks in the photos, and super-comfortable and well-equipped. The village pub and shop are a five minute walk away. There are lovely walks along lanes or across fields to the coast or to nearby villages. We really loved visiting Portloe and getting the ferry from St Mawes to Falmouth.

This was our third visit to Roundhouse East and our stay was as pleasurable as our last in 2016 despite some cooler and rather indifferent weather this time. There is always something to do in the area. We took the ferry to both Falmouth and to Malpas (with a 2-mile walk into Truro). We visited Portscatho and Porthcurno as well as Mevagissey. The beautiful cottage is so well appointed and provides for everything so rainy days are good just for relaxing. And the lovely garden is actually well sheltered from the breezes.

Our second visit to the Round House. We love the feeling of the house, we relax the minute we get there. It's peaceful and quiet and we love sitting in the garden listening to the birds. The house is well equipped and comfortable, filled with interesting art and sculptures to catch your eye. It's perfect to explore around the area, head to the Standard Inn and the Hidden Hut for gorgeous food and St Mawes for a day watching the boats in the harbour.

This was our fifth visit to Round House East. The cottage is very comfortable and we love returning. The garden is peaceful as is the village and Carne beach is just a mile down the road. This is a beautiful, quiet, dog friendly beach, wonderful for walking with amazing cloud formations. There are thoughtful gifts and conveniences in the cottage, the coffee is much appreciated. Another restful holiday, thank you.

We had a wonderful time at the Round House East. The property is well equipped and superbly presented, cleanliness was exceptional, and the Queen bed so so comfortable. A lovely secluded garden was great to relax in after a day walking our dog, there’s many places to explore, Carne beach is only half hour walk from Veryan. The delightful supplies in the welcome pack, including treats for the dog, were truly thoughtful. We felt our dog was more than welcome to stay at the Round House, thank you for a memorable holiday.

This was our second stay at the Round House East in Veryan. The cottage is perfect for a couple with a huge comfy bed, relaxing lounge and well equipped kitchen. The decor and art in the cottage are of the owner's eclectic collection and makes the cottage feel like home! The Roseland Peninsula has a host of attractions and is off the beaten track for through traffic. Beautiful Carne beach is a 5 minute drive away and the whole area is unspoilt. The New Inn in Veryan is also very welcoming and is less than 100m from the cottage. Do be prepared for narrow lanes!

We had a lovely week in this very pretty and well equipped cottage. It’s obviously well loved by its owner which made it homely too in this our favourite area of Cornwall. Many dog friendly beaches and so nice to stay in a cottage when it’s obvious your dog is welcome. We bought some great fish at Curgurrel Farm and had a memorable delicious meal in the Driftwood. Tatum’s, the Hidden Hut and the village pub were great for quick meals too. Perfect for a couple and a dog in lovely Roseland.

The super-comfortable bed & all the mod-cons ensure that you have the most relaxing stay. Veryan’s local pub serves good food and the shop/post office stocks all the essentials. Already planning our 10th visit.

We had a wonderful week in this very quirky and stylish cottage. Everything was perfect, apart from the weather but this did not lessen our enjoyment. It is a really special place to stay in a lovely part of Cornwall; we will definitely be back.

This is our third week we have stayed in 2022, and our 7th visit in the last 4 years. For any couple that want a relaxing break (with or without a dog) this is as perfect as you can get. Thew cottage and garden are lovely and well set up. The good local pub is all of 100 metres away and the village stores the same. Coastal paths and two lovely beaches are a short walk or drive away.

Just returned from a wonderful weeks stay at Roundhouse East in the loverly village of Veryan. The house had everything you could need including a huge bed to rest up after walking the Coastal paths. The local pub was great for meals and cream teas plus quite reasonably priced. Carne & Pendower beaches we’re within walking distance but also have car parking. We did cover a few miles, Nare Head, Portloe, Portscatho. plus St Mawes to St Just (walk past the little church to Miss V’s for lunch or snacks). Charlestown near St Austell is worth a visit plus don’t forget The Lost Gardens of Heligan

2nd time to stay for a week at the Roundhouse. It really is as good as other comments posted. You feel immediately at home, tip top welcome pack (is it my memory or are these gradually being phased out by other properties?), freshly cut wild flowers on kitchen table, fridge big enough for a small army (we stayed during the heatwave) and lovely garden. Enormous bed great too when you’re 6 foot 7. Roseland is pretty quiet which was just what we wanted. Great walks right from the door including coastal path. Recommend getting ferry from St Mawes to Falmouth. You’ll love it.

We have just had another lovely week at The Round House East. The house is very homely and you feel very relaxed as soon as you arrive. Lovely personal touches throughout the property and is ideal for us and our 2 dogs. The village and local beaches/walks are perfect. Much quieter area than other parts of Cornwall which is just what we wanted.

We have been hiring holiday cottages for over 30 years and this cottage is the best one we have ever stayed in. Beautiful inside and out and spotlessly clean with a lovely secure garden for the dog. The Round House is set in a beautiful village with a village shop, pleasant walks and a great dog friendly pub. The village church was worth a visit and we went to see the Hera long grave. The walk around the village pond and up to Veryan Green is very pretty and an easy walk. We plan to return.

Location
The neighbourhood
The friendly village of Veryan is on the Roseland Peninsula, close to St. Mawes and within easy reach of Truro, via the King Harry Ferry - voted one of the most scenic ferry trips in the world. The welcoming New Inn serves St Austell beers and good pub food and is just 150 yards from the Roundhouse. The village also has a shop, Post Office and a weekly W.I. market. The South West Coastal Path is close by, it’s a 1.5 mile walk to Portloe beach with pretty Carne and Pendower nearby.
Local points of interest from Ian Rose
- The Hidden Hut is an hour or so's walk along the coast path, perfect for lunch or, if you can get a table, supper on one of their feast nights.
- Walk down from St Anthony Head to the beaches at Great Molunan or Little Molunan. Great views over the Fal Estuary and Carrick Roads and maybe have a swim.
- Freshly caught crab, hand-picked and ready to eat, scallops and whatever fish has come in with the boat, from Curgurrell Farm. Wonderful with Da Bara crusty bread and Camel Valley sparkling wine.
- Walk to Melinsey Mill via Pendower Beach, take tea and enjoy their home-made cakes, or some quiche with a glass of Betty Stogg's, brewed by Skinner's Brewery in Truro.
- Pop over to Da Bara bakery cafe to pick up amazing bread (we love the sourdough), pastries and pies, and fantastic coffee - they have specials for dinner once a week too.

Introducing
Ian Rose
Londoner Ian Rose studied in the West Country and has holidayed there for years. He bought Round House East in 2006 and loves finding new pieces that complement the character of this quirky Grade II retreat. He now lives and works in Sweden and is delighted to provide a base for guests wanting to explore the stunning Cornish coastline. You can bring your hound too - many of the beaches are dog-friendly.
A very special little place with great facilities and style! We loved the dog friendly beach nearby and enjoyed a trip to the Hidden Hut. We will be back.
