    "You make it clear that the superking sized bed requires specific bedding but we found that the twin beds in the small bedroom were also non-standard size and that our standard bottom sheets were too short ."

    ..I think that this should be clear in your details. The property was super clean and comfortable and we loved all the design features.

    Thank you very much for your feedback and we are so pleased you liked Chimings. I'm sorry your sheets didn't fit. We hadn't quite realised that all UK zip and link beds are 200cm (6ft 6ins) long, where standard single beds are 190cm (6ft 3ins). Newer mattresses now also tend to be deeper than in the past (20 and 23cm for the 2 pairs of zip and link and 25.5cm for the master bedroom) so bed linen needs to be a bit more generous. We will arrange for the property details to be updated with this information. Many thanks again for highlighting it. Property Owner

    "We had a lovely time at Chimings."

    The cottage was nice and spacious with everything you need to make a comfortable stay. Loved walking down to Porthilly beach in the evenings along the public footpath and didn’t want to go home. The only thing that I wasn’t happy with was having to make up beds after a 5 hour drive. Thought when hiring bedding they would be made up for our arrival. When contacting Eco Laundry they said it would be delivered to John Bray on the Saturday before so the house keepers could take them on the Thursday.

The property

Chimings is a light, airy, and contemporary bungalow resting in Rock, Cornwall.

With a secluded and enclosed, south-facing garden, and resting a walk from local amenities and the splendid sandy beaches at Rock, Daymer and Polzeath, Chimings offers a wonderful base for families and friends, accommodating up to six guests.

Recently refurbished and extended, Chimings is a warm and welcoming place to holiday, complete with an open-plan living space, with a plush sofa, large table, and a well-equipped kitchen, flooded with natural light through the patio doors; enjoy this attractive space to cook, eat, and socialise.

Carry the conversation into the sunny sitting room, with its roof lantern, woodburning stove, leather sofas and armchairs, or follow the mellow oak flooring, which runs through much of the property, towards the patio doors, reaching the pretty, back garden, where children and pets can safely play; views of lush Cornish countryside can be seen on the far horizon.

Three bedrooms complete the home, including a super-king-size with en-suite, and two twins, all serviced by a bathroom and a cloakroom.

From your relaxing bolthole, you can venture out to explore and experience the best that North Cornwall has to offer.

Walk across Porthilly beach to Rock, with its sailing club, ski school, renowned golf courses and shops, cafes, and restaurants to take advantage of.

Beautiful coastal walks lead downriver, past endless sand dunes to Brae Hill and Daymer Bay; a lovely beach for young children, swimmers of any age, and energetic windsurfers on a breezy day.

Visit Polzeath for the ultimate surfer's beach, ideal for all abilities with a fun holiday atmosphere, or take the ferry across the estuary to bustling Padstow and the Camel Trail, ending your time by sampling the famous sparkling wines at the Camel vineyard.

All of this awaits at Chimings.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

Where you’ll be staying

ROCK

Padstow 1.5 miles via ferry; Polzeath 2.8 miles; Wadebridge 6.2 miles.

Rock is a desirable and much sought after coastal village located on the north eastern bank of the River Camel opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow which is easily reached by a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling. Continuing on a sporting theme, the golf course at nearby St Enodoc is considered to be one of the best in the country. With an abundance of world class beaches all within a short radius it is easy to see why Rock holds its popularity.
