Owls Roost

Owls Roost is a terraced cottage in Pendra Loweth, a purpose-built village of privately owned holiday cottages, about 3 miles from Falmouth. Downstairs, a kitchen, dining area and sitting area share one open-plan space with a cloakroom, and double doors open on to paved gardens and communal lawns. Upstairs are a double, a twin and a family bathroom with bath and shower over. It sleeps four.

The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, washing machine and fridge, and the cottage has a TV, DVD player and electric central heating. Bed linen, towels, fuel and power are included, and a cot is available. There is one off-road parking space, with visitor parking nearby, and the estate has on-site laundry.

Guests share the gym, tennis courts, children's play area and a plunge pool of about 3 metres each side and 1.4 metres deep, which takes a maximum of 4 people at a time. The bar, restaurant and pool run seasonally, usually from early April to the end of October, while the gym, tennis courts and play area stay open year-round. Car charging points are outside the bar and restaurant. The sea is less than 1 mile away.

One pet is welcome, kept on a lead on the estate. Smoking is not allowed, and bookings are for holiday or leisure use only, so work or business trips are refused, as are sign-written vans and commercial vehicles. The cottage suits a family of four or two couples, and is less good for anyone with two dogs.
