"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
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, sorry to hear you found the beds uncomfortable. The owners have confirmed they will test the mattresses and replace as necessary. We hope to welcome you back in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"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.
Thank you for taking time to provide feedback from your stay at Samphire. We are pleased you enjoyed the property and its facilities. Our check out time is in fact 9.30am - this should have been communicated to you in the 'key collection' email but we are sorry for any confusion. We do hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"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
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay and had the perfect base to explore the local area from. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give such great feedback. We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope you choose to book with John Bray Cornish Holidays again as we would love to welcome you back to Cornwall in the very near future. John Bray on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"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.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future! Our maintenance team are in the process of sorting the locks and hinges currently. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Samphire and had the perfect base to explore the north Cornish coastline from! . We will look into the couple of items that you have raised. John Bray on behalf of the owner. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your holiday and thank you for taking the time to provide constructive feedback. As well as addressing your minor concerns, we have plans to renovate the shower room this winter and hope to welcome you back in the future. Clive & Yvonne Property Owner

About the location
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.
