We had a fab stay at Customs House Roost for our mini-moon. Great location. We are used to a super-king bed, and struggled a little with the smaller double bed. Upstairs was a larger bed, which was unfortunately a bit too low for us, but ideal for a younger couple, or as single beds for children. The accommodation is well-equipped with everything wRead moree needed for a really cosy stay. We had a couple of small issues which were sorted really quickly and professionally by the hosts & housekeeper. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay in Charlestown. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and in an excellent location; the children particularly enjoyed their upstairs room. The weather was mostly awful so it was great to have a comfortable home to come back to when we were soaking wet. We would heartily recommend this accommodation.

Really clean cottage with modern interior ands well-equipped kitchen with integrated AEG appliances. Convenient secure gated parking to the rear of the property, although entry is a little awkward/tight, as noted in other reviews. Weather was not brilliant during our stay so we did make good use of the comfy sofa and SmartTV. Good shower.

My Wife and I loved our stay at Customs House Roost. A beautiful cosy house in a fantastic location. Just a 2-3 minute walk to Charlestown harbour, and a short drive to Tesco. It's obvious that a lot of care and attention have gone into the decor of the property. The gated car park is a big plus, but it can be a little on the tight side if the otheRead morer spaces are occupied. Mobile reception is pretty poor, but is compensated with good WiFi quality. Highly recommend! Hide
