Eden’s Walk at Rowan Cottage

Location was brilliant - but the best thing about Eden Walk was our hosts. They were wonderful, nothing was to much trouble and so welcoming.
As a infrequent camper if every host is like them I be doing more camping.
Without doubt we’ll be back for another stay.

Exceptionally helpful and friendly hosts. Really appreciated the lift into the Eden project (in pouring rain!)Chose to walk back, which worked v well

Lovely owners, super helpful and great communication. Convenient location for the Eden Project.

Great location for a short stay while going to Eden Sessions. Super friendly, small and basic site. Very easy to walk to and from Eden Project (even late at night!) on very accessible footpath track. Would highly recommend!

Pretty close to as perfect a camping experience you can get for the eden sessions. Amazing hosts, dropped us off to and picked us up after the gig, really appreciated due to the torrential rain. Existing facilities are already ideal and still being added to. Staying at this site really made the concert an unforgetable experience.

Absolutely nothing

I liked how friendly, welcoming, and kind Mike and Fran were. They go above and beyond at every opportunity and, despite never having met them before, it felt like we were visiting longtime friends or family members.
A friend and I stayed for one night as we were seeing Nine Inch Nails play at the nearby Eden project. Mike gave us a lift to the venue and after the gig when we were struggling to find our way back to the site, came out and found us. Fran and Mike then sat and socialised with us and a few of the other concert goers that we had befriended.

In the morning Mike drove a few of us out to local cafe where we all had a fried breakfast and a lighthearted conversation and a laugh.

The campsite itself is a pop up site in a section of their garden, this makes for a relaxed and fairly quiet environment. If you are visiting the area for an event at the Eden Project then it is likely there will be other campers staying for the same reason and you will be able to make conversation without being overwhelmed by too many people.

When we first arrived, Fran informed us that the static caravan in the site was currently uninhabited so we could use the shower in there. When we went in, songs by Nine Inch Nails were being streamed to a speaker. It was a nice touch and shows the consideration of the hosts that they are aware of the local events.

Staying at Rowan Cottage campsite was an amazing experience due to the incredible hospitality of the hosts. I would definitely stay again and recommend and praise to anyone else looking to visit the area. 10/10

Fantastic place to camp, so glad we came across Rowans cottage online.A small campsite in a great central location, really quiet place, currently there is only a portaloo but the shower cubicle is nearly ready as are the wash up facilities. Fran and Mike (owners) were fantastic hosts. Both really friendly, chatty and relaxed people and giving us all the advice we needed about the area. We only stayed for one night to attend a gig at the Eden sessions and there is a cycle/walk path just down the road with takes you directly there in under 2 miles….we found our way home after with no issues after drinking plenty of Korev!!
I would definitely stay here again next time I came down. Great place, amazing weather and excellent hosts.
Thankyou!!

Nothing

Spent two nights here for the Eden Sesssions and couldn't have been happier. Would definitely go back if I needed to stay in the area for any reason. The set-up is 'pop-up' camping in the spacious garden of F&M's home. As such it has a 'wild' feel (not too big, no big buildings for reception/toilet block etc) but still manages to have all the facilities you'd need for a comfortable stay.

There's one portaloo which is kept very clean, a fresh water tap, and electric hook up available for the tents. We didn't bother setting up the electric, but there was an external plug point on the side of the house where I was able to charge my phone. On arrival we were given the wifi passcode and a bag for rubbish, and there are a couple of table and chairs/ benches for eating/drinking/chilling. The grass was well maintained and level for pitching. The only thing I can't comment on is cooking- we didn't attempt any so not sure what the rules are on camping stoves/disposable bbq's etc.

The setting itself is lovely. The garden is quite secluded down a lane from the road, with plenty of bushes and trees around. The area for pitching tents has a stream running along side. It was hidden from view with bushes etc but it was a lovely sound to fall asleep to. There's plenty of privacy considering you're in someone's garden (it doesn't feel like you're on top of eachother and feels seperate from the house), but F&M are very friendly and present should you need them. They offered us lifts to the Eden Project which we happily took up. After our first night, I asked if we could stay for a second night as we'd booked impromptu tickets to go back. I was offered a hot shower in the static caravan which is also on site, and F&M lent me a towel, shampoo and a hairdryer which was a beautiful touch given that it's clearly advertised as having no shower facilities.

The site is in the village of Threthurgy near St Austell. We didn't have chance to explore much, but managed to find our way home from the Eden Project in the dark after quite a few tipples in about 45 mins via the footpaths through the woods. I would imagine that during the day it's a great spot for walking on local routes, not sure about connections to the wider area

All in would would definitely recommend. Lovely chilled wholesome vibe
