Internet Access now available at Rosia Cottage...at last!

At last we have internet access at Rosia Cottage Holidays!

We have strived to make sure Rosia Cottage has absolutley everything you will need for a luxury self catering holiday in Cornwall.

The furniture, decor, surroundings even down to a fully equipped kitchen (I mean fully, there is even a rolling pin and pastry cutters in case you fancy baking while on holiday) have all been given considerate thought.

As the cottage was gutted and totally refurbished in 2007, we had a clean slate to start with. Everything had to be bought, so we imagined we were going to live there and went from there. That way we could make sure it would be the best place to go on holiday.

Have you ever been on a self catering holiday and the accommodation was basic? Uncomfortable beds, cheap bedding and towels.........hard three piece suite.........everything fitted out as cheaply as possible as it was "just a holiday let".

We have! We also didn't want our guests to feel the same, after all you have paid good hard earned money to buy your holiday, so why should it not be like a "home from home"?

To start with the beds - they all have memory foam mattress to ensure a good nights sleep. The bedding is also good quality Egyptian Cotton.

To the bathroom - a whirlpool bath! But if you prefer showers, there is a separate shower room.
Both have a w.c. and hand basin. The towels? Good quality, heavy, thick sumptuous cotton!

Talking of towels, the majority of holiday lets that do provide the linen always state NOT beach towels. When you have a family of 5 or 6, the beach towels take up the majority of a suit case.
so we DO provide beach towels - even the buckets, spades and windbreak!

I could go on and on about the cottage, after all I do love it there myself. But, the only thing I felt was missing was Internet Access, so we have resolved that by buying a Vodafone USB Dongle. We do charge a fee of £30, but it is refundable upon return of the Dongle before you leave. The Dongle is a Pay As You Go, so you would have to top it up before use and Vodafone charge £15 for 1GB use. Oh, you would also have to bring your own Laptop/Netbook.

The only thing we could not change about the Cottage was it's location - I'm afraid we are not on the beach, but just outside the town of Camborne. This however has got it's big advantages as if you stayed in one of the seaside towns, the traffice in and out during the summer months can be a nightmare - being in Camborne you are conveniently situated to visit any part of Cornwall. We are also situated in a quite area as there are just four properities in the immediate area, so if you want to relax in the garden you will not be overlooked by a person - only our three Pygmy Goats!

We still have plenty of availability, so why not book your holiday now? It has been said that we are in for a very hot summer this year, so why not take your vacation in Cornwall!
