  • "We had a lovely stay in splatt barn, cottage was well equipped and clean and a nice walk from the pubs etc."

    The only niggles were the master bedroom en suite smelt awful all week, clearly a leak somewhere, it was a fusty, damp smell that worsened at times. The road was very noisy! This is probably because we are not used to traffic but it woke us several times.

    Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience at Splatt Barn. We’re delighted to hear you found the property clean, well equipped, and in a great location for exploring the local pubs and amenities. We do apologise for the issues you experienced during your stay with the smell in the master en suite, I can confirm our team are looking into this and looking to resolve the issue. We understand the road noise may have been disruptive, especially if you’re used to a quieter location, and we’ll look into whether any additional soundproofing measures could help. We truly value your comments, as they help us improve for future guests, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more comfortable stay.

  • "Very well equipped, almost all the kitchen equipment was new, very clean throughout, generally comfortable, nice décor."

    Poor directions to the property, especially in the dark, “just on the right” on a 1.5 mile road is not helpful, took 20 minutes to find it. Easy to rectify by giving the actual whatthreewords words in the direction email. The house is on the main road which was unexpectedly very busy and the traffic noise was intrusive, especially in main bedroom. The main bedroom has a small double bed, for a house/room of this size it was disappointing and uncomfortable for two adults. All beds were covered in a plastic mattress protector which was like sleeping on the ground sheet of a tent. Heating was a struggle, it took a few days to get the ground floor to a comfortable temperature, not helped by the log burner which was very poor and extremely difficult to get logs burning. External areas were very nice, garden seating area to the rear was lovely. Great base to explore the North Coast of Cornwall.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the garden area, found the property to be an excellent base for exploring the North Coast of Cornwall, and appreciated the well-equipped facilities. All feedback is shared with the owner to support continuous improvement. In response to your suggestion regarding the directions. To provide clearer guidance, we have now included the precise what3words location in the directions email for the property. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the mattress protectors. To enhance comfort, they are being replaced with more suitable alternatives. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback and suggestions. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

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.
