Cot and highchair. Balcony. . Set in the gently undulating foothills of Bodmin Moor, Rosecraddoc Manor boasts a history that dates back to the Domesday Book. Rebuilt in the 1820s it is Grade II listed, together with the two bridges in the grounds – one of which forms part of the entrance drive. The manor house and coach house have been converted into apartments, all furnished and equipped to a very high standard, with many luxurious touches that will appeal to the most discerning of visitors. Access to the front door of the Manor is by three stone steps. Some of the accommodation features four poster beds, some offer spa baths and some offer saunas.
Heron is a first floor studio-style apartment, whilst Riverview and Riverbank enjoy a secluded position on the banks of the small cascading river, with pretty aspects across the river and parkland towards the lake – these two cottages include special features to make them suitable for wheelchair users.
Lakeview stands about 75 yards from the manor, in an enviable position overlooking the fishing lake, and enjoys particularly beautiful views from its first floor living room and large balcony.
Rosecraddoc Manor is surrounded by 35 acres of natural gardens and bluebell woods that beckon to you to stroll along its footpaths. The lake is well stocked for coarse fishing, with carp, roach and bream, and the all weather tennis court can be enjoyed April – October. There are several pubs locally.

Location is good but the cottage layout was awkward with a toddler having the lounge upstairs and bedrooms downstairs. Both double beds needed new mattresses, our nights were not the best and kitchen items were very basic. I had to buy a cafetière,

Accommodation was lovely and in a lovely setting. We encounter a few things consideringthere were 5 of us. Only 1 toilet roll was left for 2 bathrooms. Luckily had taken an extra then had to ask for some. Only 1 rubbish bag for the week again had to ask for more. No oven glove avaliable to use. Extra charge for wi fi and electricity which we thought should be included in Accommodation price as not everyone can afford these extras. Also being for 6 in total would have expected more than 2 chairs to sit on when on the balcony
