It has everything you need for a comfortable & enjoyable holiday. Especially like that there was a dishwasher. A huge thank you to the owners for letting our dogs stay . We have stayed at Rosecraddoc many times and this is one of the best bungalows we have stayed in. Excellent.

Arriving on a very wet 22nd of December after a long drive it was lovely to arrive to a very pretty little Christmas tree, with some surprise Christmas gifts for us from the owners! Once the heating was on the lodge warmed up very quickly. Everything was immaculately clean, so a long soak in the bath, enjoying a film on the amazing sofa,and a fantastic night's sleep in the incredibly comfortable beds was the perfect start to our Christmas. The kitchen was more than equipped to cook Christmas dinner. We holiday in the summer at rosecraddoc every year, and it was just as lovely in the winter. Our first time away for Christmas ever will certainly not be out last and we will most definitely be booking Merryfield Lodge again. Thank you so much (Serena,Adam,Cooper, Darcie-mae and Ronnie
