Beautiful, romantic 4* cottage in rural setting with Country Club membership.

Tikkidew Cottage is designed for couples to escape to a comfortable hideaway. As the photos show, Tikkidew is a beautiful old stone cottage, converted from a seed barn. It is a spacious & romantic retreat for those seeking peace & privacy. With a fully equipped modern kitchen and a spacious lounge with leather suite, Tikkidew is a real 'home from home'. The cottage is centrally heated and has double glazing throughout, plus a log burner fire in the lounge for those cosy evenings. The bedroom is situated in a galleried, upstairs area with a superking size bed (or 2 single beds) which overlooks the lounge. There is free internet throughout the property.

Outside, Tikkidew has a private back yard, a secluded front garden, sun loungers, a BBQ & eating area and off road parking.

Located on the edge of the beautiful Tamar Valley National Landscape, Rowse Farm is a 17th century ‘Grade II’ listed farmhouse set in 40 peaceful acres of pasture, woodland & streams, with 3 holiday cottages. The Weary Friar pub is a short walk away and serves lovely pub food. There are many other local places to eat just a short drive away.
Also within striking distance of Rowse are some of the West Country's best attractions - the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the National Maritime Museum, the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, beaches on both North & South coasts of Cornwall, Bodmin Moor & Dartmoor, the National Trust houses at Cotehele, Antony, Saltram & Lanhydrock. The historic coastal villages of Looe & Polperro are also nearby. There are too many local walks to list here, but a few of our favourites are parts of the new Tamar Way, along the South West Coastal path from Rame Head to Cawsand and the beautiful National Trust's Lansallos Cove, which is dog friendly all year round.

Cornwall's rugged coastline and quaint villages are the backdrop for many Films, TV series and books. Take time out to explore the literary world of Rosamunde Pilcher, shooting locations for Poldark, Doc Martin and Beyond Paradise, to name a few.

Guests enjoy complimentary membership to the China Fleet Country Club and are welcome to make use of their Health Club facilities and golf. Additional charges apply.

A wonderful stay with fantastic hosts

We had a brilliant time having never been in this area of Cornwall before. The place was so clean, easy to find with terrific facilities and set in a beautiful landscape - really everything you need. Nothing was too much trouble for Barry and Kirsty who were very responsive any time before and during the stay. That said, we had our privacy and felt as though we were in our own little idyll away from everything. The hosts sent really comprehensive information and made recommendations for places to eat and local walks. We tried some of them and were always pleased that we had. Highly recommend and we will be visiting again.

Excellent location

We loved the feel of the area driving there and with great private parking it was easy access from the car to the cottage and we were set up in minutes of arriving. It was a great place for traveling around both Cornwall and Devon and there are plenty of supermarkets to choose from nearby with some lovely pubs and restaurants. All in all we loved it and would definitely book again.

Beautiful cottage

Really enjoyed staying at this beautiful cottage. Scrupulously clean and comfortable. With seating both Infront and behind the cottage, we spent much time outside enjoying the relaxing countryside and wildlife. Wonderful host. Only slight downside was although the shower worked well, I found it a little tricky to get into. Would definitely return here.

A wonderful secluded cottage

We had a fantastic week on Rowse farm in Tikkidew cottage. Our hosts Barry and Kirsty were friendly and helpful giving advice on places to see and also eat. The cottage was spotlessly clean and looked as if it hadn't been let before. The surroundings are wonderful and there is the opportunity to walk round the fields (which were filled with wild flowers) and woods. The cottage is in a superb hidden location with easy access to both the coast and moorlands. Thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant place to stay!

Was a brilliant place to stay, very nice cottage, very nice and welcoming people! The cottage is quite remote but at the same time Everything is within about 20-30 minutes of the cottage which is ideal, the beach is about 25 minutes away, Plymouth is about 30 minutes away. I’d happy go back! Loverly cottage with a log burner

Great place to access the south coast and the Tamar Valley. Really quiet and peaceful setting

We stayed in Tikkidew. Lovely cosy one bedroom cottage with a fire. Barry and Kirsty are really friendly and welcoming - on hand if you need them in the farmhouse. The cottage is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and they even provided a Covid pack with sanitiser etc. We will come back as it’s perfect for a quiet few days with good local walks.

Tikkidew Cottage, Rowse Farm

The property is beautiful in a rural setting so quiet and peaceful and only 10 mins from the local town Saltash. The property has everything you will need, the couple Barry and Kirsty are warm and welcoming nothing too much trouble and they make sure the property is spotless If anybody has any COVID concerns. The local pub the Weary Fryer is 10 min walk and serves great food make sure you book in advance during COVID even for a drink, we found this with most pubs and restaurants during our stay. Saltash train station is great if you fancy a day off from driving we went to St Ives it cost £21 return for both of us and you get great views of the coast. Would recommend Rowse Farm without hesitation lovely relaxing stay even in these challenging times.

Tranquility but a stone's throw from Plymouth and beaches

Great location, wonderful hosts who could not do enough to make us feel welcome. Really well furnished throughout. We had issues with the WiFi, which Barry worked hard to resolve. We'd arranged to take two bicycles with us and asked if there was somewhere to store them. I was really pleased to find that the storage was in a farm building that gave great protection from the weather.

Gorgeous cottage in beautiful, scenic setting

We stayed in Tikkidew for 4 days in February, it was a lovely little holiday. We were welcomed by a home made Cornish cream tea, the best, softest scones any of us has ever had! The cottage was really beautiful, perfect for a romantic break. It got a little cold in the afternoons so we had to use the fireplace which made our stay even more cosy. We used the nearby China Fleet Club every day as you get a free membership when renting the cottage. This lets you into the club, however you still have to pay to use the pool, spa and gym, although these are all reasonably priced. All in all, a lovely place for a relaxing holiday!
