    "We have just come back from staying at west cottage."

    . loved the inside of the cottage the style and decor was lovely. we felt so comfortable in the cottage, I slept better then I do at home, so even tried to see the make of the mattress.. so comfortable. Glad I read the reviews.. we took our own pillows. Glad we did as the pillows were new and very full so I bit to high for us but great for sit up in bed in the mornings. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. It’s funny how some places do welcome packs (milk/tea/coffee) but nothing at west cottage so again I’m glad we took our own like another reviewer said. The washing machine leaked abit on a cycle so we reported it, hopefully it was fixed on change over day. There was 4 of us 2 adults and two teenagers and we all had enough space.. bathroom was snug, but lovely shower and enough hot water, it really needed some more hooks to hang towels on there is only two. We had to use our bedroom doors to dry them. We also thought it needed an air dryer for inside the cottage. There is a washing line with six pegs! The outside of the cottage we thought really needed some love and didn’t reflect the inside of cottage the same. The grass was very overgrown and we did tell the office and it was then mowed the next day ( thank you) We also took our own bbq and another reviewer had mentioned it not being great. Glad we did. But there is no table outside so putting drinks and food down on the floor was annoying. So we ended up eating inside and only bbq once. But I think the thing that really let it down was the big beautiful apple tree to the entrance of the garden… rotten apple everywhere which the wasps loved, very overgrown and you have to dodge the branches to walk past, lots of weeds and brambles. When we arrived there was a big pile of sick in the garden.. we think from an animal.. not great! If we had had young children they wouldn’t have been able to use the garden… because of the grass, wasps, sick and brambles! I’m sure this isn’t usually the case. The village was perfect, the fish and chips were delicious, very busy and closes at 8pm. lovely local convincing store closes at 6pm. The bakery, butchers, fishmonger and gift shop were so useful to have on the door step too.

    "The property was perfect for our needs and really well located opposite the local shop and chip shop."

    It is worth advising stayers that there is no simple content such as coffee, tea, sugar etc... and there was practically no toilet paper and due to the local shop shutting at 6pm we had to ask at the chip shop for some...

    "An absolutely fantastic property, only one thing let it down, the garden furniture / barbecue cleanliness."

    The cottage was amazing, really homely, it had everything you would need. It was really comfortable. The enclosed garden was fantastic for the dog. We had a fantastic time here, great location, really comfy. The garden furniture wasn’t great, one of the chairs was broken (and looks like it has been for some time), the sofa was falling apart and the cushions were water stained and dirty (cushions are in the storage box which is covered by an oversized bush / tree). The bbq was clearly used by the previous occupants and left as it had (still has as I wasn’t cleaning it for them) old charcoal and is dirty.

    It was nice to arrive in a clean and ready to use property including instructions on how to use the different white goods on site and having the out of hours number available gives you peace of mind. We made some great family memories of our visit to Cornwall and staying here just added to that. Thank You

    "Beautifullly clean, presented and well appointed."

    Really enjoyed staying there. Thank you. I’m not complaining because I knew what the bathroom facilities were but for me a shower cubicle and a larger sink would be better. I understand however, that those staying who have young children may prefer a bath. It did not spoil my stay.

    "The cottage is very comfortable and has been furnished with great thought and style."

    The cleaner had done a first rate job to make the cottage really welcoming. Just a couple of points l would like to mention. The basin is very small in the bathroom , so the kitchen sink was used instead. The rug in the hallway is rather dangerous as it slips . I would carpet the hall . My partner slipped over so we removed it for the duration of our stay. The light in the bathroom which starts the fan off is extremely loud in the room above, the main bedroom. We tended not to put it on at night as it really disturbs sleeping above. Also the pillows are extremely hard. If l am lucky to stay again l would bring my own pillow. These l know are just minor niggles. Many thanks, we had a lovely 10 days, and were very lucky with the weather.

    "Great location-no pressure for parking spaces at the shops!"

    The very secure front and rear gardens were ideal for our dog, and would be for small children too. The cottage is comfortable, nicely decorated and well equipped, although the previously mentioned microwave could be a useful addition. We were pleased to see the clothes line appear part way through our stay. The downstairs bathroom wouldn't be our ideal, but was manageable.

    "Fab location to visit countless places in the county."

    Comfortable rooms and beautifully dressed, perhaps a small hanging area in one bedroom to front, could be added? Excellent range of kitchenware and both the dishwasher and washer/dryer performed well. We christened the BBQ and ate al fresco often, using the comfy garden furniture. The local grocery shop 100 mtrs Bakery (omg so good) 200 mtrs Butchers 300 mtrs Cafe 500 mtrs What more could you need !! We will be returning for sure! * Couple of points to note, the on line details state a microwave is supplied, there was not one on our stay, this didn’t affect us but needs clarification or installing. There is a rotary washing line behind the oil tank, but we could not locate the ground spike to use it? Thankfully the washer/ dryer came to rescue.

    Thank you for your kind words regarding your stay with us. We are so pleased you had a good holiday. Thank you for pointing out about the microwave, this has now been deleted from the website.

The property

This attractive, two-storey cottage lies in a great position in the coastal town of Rock.

Beautifully presented with original features in keeping with age of the property, West Cottage is a great choice for a family seeking some time away from normality.

After a day on the beach, wash away the sand in the bathroom before heading into the kitchen to prepare a hearty meal.

Serve up in the dining room complimented with a bottle of fizz, before following the slate flooring into the lounge, where you can sink into the sofa and enjoy catch-up on the Smart TV.

On those warm days, head outside and bask in the sunshine from the enclosed garden, with a barbecue and set of furniture that welcomes alfresco dining.

The bedrooms lie upstairs and include the master double with Smart TV, whilst there are two single bedrooms to either side of the landing.

Pack up your seaside essentials and head to the golden sands of Polzeath Beach, a heaven for surfers with its consistent, slow break waves, whilst holidaymakers can soak up the sunshine at Rock Beach, before ending the evening with a bite to eat at one of the village’s excellent eateries; why not indulge in a cream tea or Cornish pasty?

Join the impressive South West Coast Path and enjoy scenic views that lead to the coastal towns of Port Isaac, famously used for filming Doc Martin, and Padstow where you can visit the colourful harbour and see the National Lobster Hatchery.

With all this, plus the bustling attractions of Newquay within easy reach, there’s so much to look forward to whilst holidaying at West Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

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.
