"Everything was lovely, comfortable beds and pillows, clean and well equipped."

The only slight negative is that the wardrobe space, particularly the two hanging rails were taking up with clothes, wets suits and other items which I guess belong to the owners? As there is no other space to hang clothes. I had to move everything and put them elsewhere which was difficult as there is bedding, hoovers, wash baskets, tea towels and an array of household stuff stored in all the other parts of the wardrobe which is the only storage place in the cottage. Other than that, I couldn’t fault the cottage and will definitely be returning.

"The cottage is very well equipped and thoughtfully furnished with everything you need for a lovely relaxing stay."

Great attention to detail which was much appreciated.The property is perfectly located for easy access to the beach (covered at high tide but you can sit on the rocks or clamber over the cliffs to enjoy the sea) and the SW coastal path (the slopes are steep) The Port William (2 mins walk) offers pub grub and there’s a cafe for decent coffee and cakes over the road. The Mill House inn (10-15 mins walk) has a good restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxed, peaceful holiday with our dog on this unspoiled part of the north Cornish coast.

"Had a lovely stay last week at Rock House."

The biscuits, bread and milk were very welcome on arrival and the cottage was warm. Well equipped kitchen and beds all made up and ready. Only complaints were patio area very uninviting hadn’t even been swept down and area generally dirty. Also lack of storage as owners leave some of their belongings in the wardrobe. Alas this didn’t ruin our stay and I would recommend this cottage to friends. The location is amazing we have been visiting this area for 25 years so it was an absolute treat to stay so close to the sea.

"Fantastic holiday cottage."

Lovely location. Everything you could need. The only thing that we couldn’t find was table mats but that could be that we just didn’t find them.

"A small point would be throws for the beds and softer throws for the sofa."

Apart from the extra throws this is by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in, it's a fantastic cottage.

"Very comfortable well equipped cottage in a stunning location."

Only downside for some is that the internet isn’t great but can always use WiFi at the pub if needs be.

"Fantastic location."

.....minutes from the sea and pub!Very well equipped and easy for dogs staying.We arrived during one of the strongest storms of the year,wet ,cold and bedraggled but when we opened the door the cottage was warm and welcoming.Only downside is no mobile signal either at the cottage or in surrounding areas but there was a landline with an honesty box.Loved it.Loads tv options available although we didn't use them......too much else to do! Thoroughly recommend.

"Lovely cottage in an amazing location for both the beach and the pub."

We had a lovely time bodyboarding and generally relaxing. It's great that the cottage has bodyboards for guests to use.

"A beautiful cottage in an amazing location."

The owners have thought of everything and the cottage was equipped with everything you could need for a break at Trebarwith Strand - including a range of body boards. Would thoroughly recommend and will be rebooking.

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the cutlery drawer!"

:) Two of us and a dog had a wonderful stay in Rock House in Mid-June and were able to completely relax. On arrival, Karen, who had prepped the cottage had left a loaf of fresh bread, scones, cream and a plentiful supply of Nespresso pods for the coffee machine (All of which were fully caffeinated - we LOVE you Karen!) The cottage has two bedrooms with a double and a twin - the twin is larger and easier to sleep in for that reason but both are v comfortable. The rear patio, while unfinished, is secluded and quiet and I was able to use it for my weight bench during our stay. Parking is immediately behind the property but you need to walk about 200 metres as there is no access from the rear - not a problem for brief periods of loading and unloading (During the summer you CAN park outside overnight) The Saturday change over day was a boon, judging by the friday traffic we saw on the way down (we stayed the night before our week at the Mill House Inn, another great, dog-loving location) It's a fabulous location, all of 20 yards from the start of the inlet and about 7 yards from the icecream shop (I averaged 2.5 cones a day) We're booking again next year to coincide with a full, supermoon so the tides will be lower and higher respectively :)

"Fantastic location next to a rocky cove which reveals a great beach when the tide goes out."

Cottage was perfect for the 2 of us and the dog. Double bed a little small which would be my only complaint because otherwise the cottage is excellent. Perfect location with coastal paths opposite and behind. Port William pub opened at the end of our stay and it was lovely to have a meal and watch the sunset.

"Great location close to the beach, great facilities."

Lovely Cornish Tea left for us with bread and milk. Cottage had everything and more you could need or want for your stay. Very comfortable. As we were the first ones back after lockdown on the 12th April the cottage smelt a bit musty and on top of the headboards in both bedrooms was thick dust. This was cured by getting the hoover out and leaving the door open to ventilate the cottage. It didn't spoil our holiday.

"The wash hand basin in the bathroom has a blocked drain and can’t be used."

Also I think a there is a leak in the ceiling from the shower because water appeared on the kitchen worktop after we had a shower. I’m not complaining but thought you should know

"We sadly broke one of the white dinner plates on the slate floor - please could you let us know what we owe?"

Also, would be brilliant to have a proper bin in the kitchen - the one in the cottage had no lid and therefore we had to put it away as the dogs kept riffling through it!

About the location

TINTAGEL

Camelford 6 miles; Wadebridge 12 miles.

Tintagel, home of the legendary King Arthur’s Castle, whose ruins dominate the cliffside just outside the village, is a popular but not overcrowded tourist destination. The surrounding area is dominated by the sea, rocky coves and stunning scenery. Several beaches, including nearby Trebarwith Strand and Bossiney Cove, are within easy reach and surfing is the main attraction for those who love the water. Tintagel has several pubs and restaurants and the Old Post Office (National Trust) is a must. For the energetic, the SW Coast Path passes through the village and in both directions it winds its way along the cliffs and down to the water’s edge through dramatic countryside. Head north along the path and in 2.5 miles is the beautiful village of Boscastle with its quaint quay and village pubs for refreshment. Further afield are the surfing meccas of Newquay and Bude, with their resort attractions, while the open spaces of Bodmin Moor, the Eden Project, Padstow and the Camel Estuary are all within a 40-minute drive.
