Coming to the end of our recent stay in Jasmine (see review), we found that a planned hotel stop to break the journey home, was unavailable. No worries, Rob and Gill offered us Walnut for the weekend (Jasmine being booked). The quality and comfort of this cottage only confirmed our opinion of Rooke Cottages, they are the best. Walnut has a different layout to Jasmine of course, being 2 storey with the bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs but the garden is bigger and the views more far reaching. A gem.

From the moment we and our flatcoated retriever arrived at Walnut Cottage we felt at home. All the elements were right for us - peaceful surroundings, good enclosed garden, comfortable interior and well-equipped kitchen & washing/ drying facilities. The latter are particularly welcome in bad weather, when wet, muddy dog towels are produced. Luckily we didn't actually need them on this occasion as we had a dry, warm and sunny week! Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful without being intrusive.
Sadly the Maltsters Arms in the village had just closed down, but we found some great local food, including in nearby St Kew and St Tudy. We didn't want to leave at the end of the week!

Another fantastic stay at Rooke cottages, beautiful surroundings containing genuinely 5 * plus cottages which are immaculate, well equipped, tastefully furnished and with super comfy beds too ! Take time to visit the near by St Kew farm shop for amazing breakfasts and cakes you will not be disappointed. Thanks to the hard work and attention to detail of Rob, Gill and Jenna, a fantastic haven for a holiday but be prepared for Darcy and Beau to steal your hearts and the odd bit if sausage too ! Cannot wait to plan our next visit .

Rooke Farm is in a beautiful setting very quiet and peaceful. The cottage itself was charming with lots of character and fitted out to a high standard with everything you could need. It was perfect for our dog as there is a large secure garden mainly laid to lawn.
We found a excellent dog friendly beach nearby and a lovely pub in Chapel Amble.
I can see why many people return to Rooke Cottages and we hope to do so in the future.

This was our 3rd stay at Rooke Cottages. Each time we have stayed in a different cottage, and each time we are thoroughly pleased to have made the decision to come back. Our dogs love the garden, and the cottage has a very secure and private feel to it. We use this as our base to visit other places in Cornwall, and it is only a short drive from our favourite beach (Harlyn). See you next year!

With the exception of 2023, we have been staying at Rooke Cottages twice a year since lockdown ended. It has been an escape to the comfortable cottages and the North Cornish countryside that my wife and I look forward to. Rob & Gill always make you welcome. Looking forward to the next visit in September.

We returned to Rookes Cottages 12 years after our previous visit and were once again thrilled with the accommodation and its amenities. We were greeted and welcomed by Gill on our first day and we settled in and felt at home straight away. Walnut Cottage was just what we needed in a lovely quiet location. The property was comfortable and had everything we needed for our holiday. We enjoyed listening to the Rookes and we had a brief visit from a pheasant in the garden. Lovely relaxing place to stay. The garden was beautifulIy maintained and lovely to sit it. I would definitely recommend Rookes Cottages. It’s by far the best holiday cottage I have stayed in. Thank you Gill and Rob for making our stay a most pleasant one.

Once again we visited Rooke Cottages, our third year and Walnut cottage did not disappoint. Such a beautiful, charming space. Perfectly positioned with lovely views and a stunning, private garden. Everything you need is catered for, you just unpack and it’s home from home for two weeks. We can’t wait to return next year!

Rooke Farm is an ideal location for easy access to the North Cornwall coast and countryside. Rob & Gill are welcoming hosts and always available to help with any questions you may have.

Another wonderful break. We have visited over many years and always feel very welcome. Accommodation always to a high standard and fully equipped for your every need making a very comfortable stay.

St Kew farm shop is a lovely walk from Rooke which provides a lovely cooked breakfast and delicious cakes and pastries, definitely worth a visit.

Rooke is a great central base to explore Cornwall.

Thank you for another amazing week and for sorting out electric charging point for our car. A great addition to your cottages!

See you soon !

This must be about our 20th visit to Rooke Farm over the years and the cottages never fail to deliver a fantastic holiday experience. Walnut is a beautiful cottage fully equipped with everything you need and more with a beautiful garden and super comfy beds too. Of course none of this happens by magic, it is all down to the eye for detail and sheer hard work that Rob, Gill and their family put in behind the scenes to ensure every guest has a wonderful holiday stay.

Absolutely loved our stay at Rooke Cottages, we had Walnut for the week and it was perfect for us. We were two adults and two small children and a dog. The cottage was catered to all our needs and our dog had a great space outside and there’s a lovely paddock to let them safely run around too. The location is excellent for all the beaches.
Rob and Gill could not have been more helpful and friendly and just add to the homely laid back experience we had.
We will definitely be returning, it was like a home from home!

We had a lovely stay at Walnut. The house was very comfortable and the garden was perfect for eating outside and for our little girl to run around in. She also loved the lambs in the neighboring field and the small play park on site. Rob and Gill were both lovely and we had no problems at all during our stay. There are lots of great beaches and walks nearby as well as lovely places to eat in Rock and Padstow. Also just a few mins drive to St Kew farm shop which does great coffee!

Set in a quiet rural location with easy access to the North Cornish Coast. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked a further week in September before returning home.

Having had to delay our week in Cornwall from June to September we were delighted to return to Walnut. Gill and Rob had obviously taken on board the additional measures that the COVID-19 pandemic requires, without compromising the comfort and welcome that they have always offered. The location is still one of our UK favourites and we are sure to return again..

Thank you so much to Rob and Gill in enabling us and our two greyhounds to enjoy a fantastic break in Cornwall staying in Walnut cottage .
During what are obviously difficult times the cottage was a warm , safe and cosy base allowing us to enjoy the superb local beaches and countryside .
As ever the cottage was immaculate and the “ extra “ measures implemented by Rob and Gill provided even greater reassurance .
Simply a fantastic holiday !

Walnut suited us very well and was spacious and comfortable. This was our third stay at Rooke Farm and the previous two cottages allowed us to have a larger double bed and en suite bathroom which for us would have been preferable. the bed in Walnut had rather noisy springs! but we were very grateful for Gill's kindness and understanding after my husband's fall.
Pleasant garden to sit in and good soundproofing between the adjoining cottage.

This was our second stay here and the welcome was as warm as the first time. We were greeted by a wonderful hamper full of local produce and an elegantly decorated Christmas tree. Loads of space and everything you need to enjoy the stay. My only request would be some hooks on the bathroom and bedroom doors for towels or clothes.
If you stay here make sure you find the owl camera channel and watch the local barn owl.

We thoroughly enjoyed our fourth visit to the peace and quiet of Walnut as part of a bigger family group who were in Courtyard. The cottage is perfect for us and our two boys with helpful hosts and everything that we could possibly require. And being able to bring our two dogs is a huge added bonus.
