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.

Reviews

Elizabeth, Lincoln

We had a lovely time as did our dog! Thankyou & we really appreciated the comfy bed and welcome goodies, not to mention the lovely unique round house. Perfect for coastal walks!


Karen, Anglesey

This was our second visit to Round House East and as before it was brilliant. The house is homely, beautifully decorated with everything you could need and is very dog friendly. The location is great and so close to an amazing beach. I highly recommend this as somewhere to stay - we will be back!


Paul, Malmesbury Wiltshire

We had a 3 night break at this wonderful cottage which was both quirky and really very well appointed. Nothing was lacking and the welcome pack was a good indicator of the quality and thoughtfulness which had gone into making the round House an ideal location to explore the surrounding countryside. We hope to come again.


Steve, MARLOW

This is a wonderful place to stay we have now been 5 times and at various times of the year. It is furnished to a high standard and has some excellent places to eat / visit nearby. There are several ways to get to the beautiful beach at Carne which allows dogs all year round. Anyone visiting will not be disappointed.


Fred, Irthlingborough Northants

We've just had a week in the cottage, and couldn't have found better self catering accommodation if we tried. The cottage has everything a couple could need, especially for a wet and windy week. Very comfortable, in a great location and very close to the good village pub. Personal opinion: What lets down self catering accomodation in the main, is the cheapness of the fixtures and fittings. It was not the case here, all very good, even down to the non stick frying pans, that are, and toilet rolls that don't need multiple sheets!!! Both benchmarks, in my view, of a thoughtful owner.


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

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.
