Just one mile from Roche is this charming cottage which has been superbly renovated from a nineteenth century china clay drying kiln. This grade two-listed property is one of five holiday homes in the building – all of which are peppered with subtle reminders of the construction's ‘china clay' heritage. With swings for visiting children, this idyllic setting is also set on the banks of a small stream, which runs by the back door.

The little village of Roche is only six miles from Bodmin and easily accessible by the A30, making it a fantastic holiday location for anyone looking to explore the wider area of Cornwall. With its selection of shops and pubs, this quaint settlement is primarily involved in agriculture leaving a picturesque patchwork of lush, gently undulating fields. Just a thirty minute drive away is the ruggedly beautiful north Cornish coast, with rocky caves, high cliffs and excellent surfing beaches. Newquay, with its new Fistral Beach surf centre, is also nearby, along with the fishing village of Padstow. With its narrow, winding streets, charming harbour and renowned restaurants, this small town certainly merits a visit. The spectacular Eden project is also close by, with biomes full of tropical plants.
Reviews
"Really enjoyed the locale and home itself. Very appropriate to use as base for travelling and exploring. Heating and TV were a challenge (not being a resident of England but help was available. Only detrimental thing was amount of hot water, hubby had a cool shower the first day. Oh! and putting the wet mop in one of the closets began to smell musty"
"The photograph of this property is misleading as it is a row of 7 units not one as we had thought. The patios have since been devided by fences for pivacy and this combined with a hedge which must have grown since the photo was taken greatly restricts the light in the living room. On the upper level all three bedrooms had low ceilings and the only windows were the velox type making the rooms uncomfortably claustrophobic. The kitchen was the brightest room with a velox window and glazed door but the view was of the car park. The building was originally a clay drying kiln and is grade 2 listed so I appreciate that conversion to holiday lets was restricted. To be fair the unit was clean and well equipped, the only item I missed was a hair dryer. The beds were comfortable. We cut short our stay and came home early, a decision that was not taken likely as we had travelled over 440 miles to get there."
"All our family had a great time spent down South. Accommodation was ideal for all of us and also for different times of the day. We had everything available to us in the kitchen and living room was very cosy and spacious. It was a great location for visiting places of interest and also quite. I would come back again to the same cottage and recommend it to friends as well."
"Quiet location with easy access to attractions such as the Eden Project etc. Roomy accomodation but could have done with more hanging space for wet coats especially as it rained every day!!"
