Samphire

Property felt a little dirty and needed a good clean.

Mattresses were poor in terms of firmness. Great property otherwise. Stayed 3 years ago and bathrooms have been improved.

A real home from home holiday house, we were so thrilled to see how big this place was.

With six grown-ups and a dog we loved the space and the fact it had two large living rooms. Very close to the best fish and chip shop, the bakery, the Mariners pub and the ferry to Padstow on the sunny days we travelled by Car to Harlyn Bay and Polzeath Beach… but we also liked the space down at Rock when the tide was out, our dog loved that. !! A fantastic week, we would love to return next year!

We had a lovely holiday.

Everything we needed and great location. Ours dogs loved it too.

Samphire was everything we wanted, exactly as described.

Very comfortable and homely and just what we needed for a wonderful family celebration.

2nd stay here.

We do intend on returning again in the future

The accommodation was very good.

Only two observations. The arm on one of the sofas was badly damaged. The flush action of the main bathroom toilet needs adjusting (it often seems to be about to overflow).Would recommend. Thank you.

It was our 2nd time at Samphire & we were delighted to see the new furniture in the family room which was very comfortable!

We had more wet weather this year & the smell of damp was noticeable in the bedrooms- particularly the 2 nearest the shower room. We really enjoyed our stay, the welcome pack on arrival is a lovely touch, the beds and bed linen are very comfortable and the location is superb.

Loved this holiday home but found access to the garden tricky for the dogs and young child with us as they couldn't be let out unaccompanied due to the open access to the drive and no direct exit to the garden from the house.

Feel this could be easily fixed with a small fence between the porch and garden gate. Apart from that the house was well located and quiet, well equipped, comfortable beds, beautifully clean and the welcome hamper was a lovely extra and the garden itself was a real sun trap. Just a couple of minor housekeeping things - the bedside lights needed new bulbs and the bath/shower needs a bigger screen to prevent water spillage as the bathroom tiles are lifting and cracking due to water ingress.

Had a wonderful holiday staying at Samphire in Rock.

Beautiful property in a stunning location.

We have been staying in Rock every Easter for 25+ years in Various places.

This was best and have already booked the same place for next year

Really enjoyed our holiday.

Only one thing which may sound strange, but would have been good to have a door or patio windows leading to the rear garden. Tolet the dogs out, you have to leave the bungalow and enter via a gate. Shame you couldn’t just leave a door open for ease of access. This is a fantastic bungalow in a great location. Thank you

We had a wonderful holiday at Samphire and will definitely return.

Loved the bungalow design and the living area felt spacious.

It was well equipped and is very well located for amenities in Rock. The owners notes were very helpful and we were easily able to put the heating on to dry our clothes after some very wet walks! We found the wifi signal was weak in some areas of the property but overall we had a great stay & have booked again for next year.

Be good to have a lighter, modern vacuum cleaner.

Beautiful and spacious bungalow that we enjoyed very much for our two weeks stay.

Everything was great and ideal for our needs. It is in a convenient location in a quiet lane close to shops, a chippie & bakery whilst still walking distance to the beach and its amenities. Only small issue was the home EV charger not working during the entire second week. Strange as it worked perfectly during the first week. Hopefully we will return next year. Thank you

It was the second time we stayed at Samphire every thing is perfect for us accommodation, location ,, Parking, access Short of haveing a beach view I don't know how we could stay in a more perfect Property,, We will be back probably not till next June I was introduced to Rock at 11yrs old in 1967 been coming back ever since often more than once a Yr,,

The three of us and our dog had a great stay.

The accommodation was excellent, matched by the weather. Plenty to explore in the area and plenty of comfortable space inside and outside to relax afterwards. The fish and chip shop 100 yards away was really good.

Our second visit to Samphire.

A lovely place to stay, great location close to the beach at Rock. A very private and secure garden. Spotlessly clean with good facilities. Some crockery needs replacing and also some oven trays. The shower room needs attention to the lock and also a hook on the door as it is a very small room. Also the double bedroom needs blackout blind / curtain as light shines through in the morning.

We had a super holiday , the bungalow housed 3 generations of family plus dog very comfortably and our grandchildren really loved the games and puzzles which were available.

There are a couple of things to comment about, one being the bathroom which really needs an update. The shower over the bath is difficult for older people and my husband found the shower room too small, he is quite a big man. Also there is a strong smell of oil coming from the boiler but we opened the utility room window and it cleared. However, none of these things spoiled our holiday, we loved the property and will return. Thank you

We have stayed in this property before, about 18 months ago, we have been visiting this area for more than 20 years, so the bungalow itself is ideally located and suitable for my elderly Mum.

Wonderful to be dog friendly, so the whole family enjoys this beautiful place and all the beaches! However, first time visiting in Winter, the beds are so terribly uncomfortable, we rotated in hope some may be better than others…sadly not…we all came away with bad backs..so far from ideal after paying a pricey sum of a New Years Break, one we booked after my Mums recent illness! The garden also really needs an outside

perfect house in a perfect location, we couldn't have asked for more, Thank you

We were delighted with are house it was very comfortable and clean and there was plenty of china and glasses.

We had a great holiday and will use Sykes Holiday Cottages again.

Property was lovely, spacious, comfortable and well equipped.

Location was great too, ample parking and close to local amenities. Although the shower was good, the main bathroom needs modernising. The mattresses were also too soft. We could easily come back and stay!

The house was very nice and welcoming.

We enjoyed the garden and the well appointed kitchen. It was great to find enough kitchen tools and pans etc as well as a few tablets for the dishwasher. The bedrooms were light and airy. Thanks for having us! The only negative was the requirement that we had left the house by nine (having only been allowed in from four). This early check out felt a bit unnecessary, adding an unwelcome element of hurry to our departure. Even an extra half hour would have been appreciated! Nonetheless the house and our stay was delightful.

A wonderful week.

The property was perfect - great location, facilities and very comfortable.

Very very good, Well presented, lots of space , very comfortable, lovely Garden Inc patio with Table and chairs also BBQ The items left for us in the Fridge and the hamper items very generous The offer to have a nip of Wiskey etc a brilliant personal touch,,, also our 2 Labradors said brilliant let's go back soon,,,

We have just returned from a wonderful weeks' stay at Samphire.

The property was very well equipped, beautifully decorated and we loved the open plan feel. Great for an 11 month old new to crawling who could do complete circuits around the house

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Samphire.

Everything was great, spotlessly clean and the facilities were all of a good standard. Bed was so comfy, the best we’ve had in a holiday home, and loved the cotton bedding. Lovely sunny garden too. The only comment is lack of sockets in the house and also perhaps a shelf in the shower would be helpful. Many thanks, will rebook next year.

Lovely house.

We have re-booked for next year. Three requests: 1) Fix locks in toilets. 2) WD-40 on door hinges. 3) Some rugs, curtains or other soft furnishings to reduce the echo.

Good feedback: Great location.

Extremely close to all local shops and close to all beaches. We enjoyed walking from the property to Rock and surrounding area. Very clean on arrival. Lounge room area very comfortable and very cosy with nice sofa. Dining area ie table and chairs were of good standard and sofa was a nice touch. Plenty of kitchen utensils and cooking pans etc. Feedback: Small shower room needs updating and not 5 star standard. Tiles and sink were tired and a touch old fashioned. Bit of mould in the corner above the shower head needs attention. Shower riser was not working correctly and could not be moved without the riser mechanism popping out. Larger bathroom was also a bit tired and also not really 5 star. Kitchen tiles have been painted over and some of the light fittings look old and have been painted over…not an ideal finish again for 5 star rated house. Both bathrooms need hooks to hang things on. Bedroom hooks on the doors keep falling off as adhesive has worn. An outside tap could be useful to wash down boards and wetsuits providing there’s a pipe that can be utilised from back or side. Back porch and internal door look tired. Bedrooms comfortable, tidy with good storage, 5 star…probably not for the bedrooms.

This property is lovely and is located perfectly.

Would definitely return.
