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

John, Harpenden, Herts

This was our third stay at Round House East - such a delightful and special place. Mixture of sun and showers did little to spoil our activities - walking the coastal path, boat trips to Falmouth, train to Truro and boat back, boat to Fowey from Mevagissey, dinner at The New Inn (twice), cream teas (twice!), fish from local farmshop, morning coffee at the local hotel by the beach and more! The cottage itself is comprehensively equipped and lends itself beautifully to peace and relaxation.


Morgan, London

Another fabulous find via Sawday's, the cottage is extremely quiet and comfortable and well equipped, both for humans and dogs, the location for the beaches and walking couldn't be better. Highly recommend!


Nicola, Alton Hampshire

Alastair Sawday has never let me down but this time he has scored above all expectations.A wonderful unique cottage so well equipped.


Janet, Northampton

It was lovely to be back at the cottage, it is so relaxing here. Our labradoodle Claude has had a fabulous first visit to the coast and as always we have had some wonderful meals at The New Inn. Hopefully it won't be long before we are back, thanks for giving us such a lovely place to stay.


Fiona, Durham

We'll be back! What a wonderful week we have had.


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.

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.
