  • "Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Obo’s retreat."

    The house was perfectly kitted out for families with young kids. There was such a great range of board games which keep us entertained on the odd rainy day.

    Thank you for your kind comments, we hope to welcome you back in the near future, John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

  • "Bungalow lovely and very clean."

    Couldn’t find the walk in electric shower switch on are a couple of days. Looks like it was purposely hidden as when we did find it shower thermostat obviously broken. Scorch hit or freezing cold. Very dangerous. This was brought up in the Summer in quotes from other guests. Clearly the issue has not been fixed. Other than this we had a lovely stay.

    Thank you for your comments, I will ensure the shower is looked at by our maintenance team, We look forward to welcoming you back very soon. John Bray Cornish holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner

  • "Not enough pans and cookery equipment for a family holiday, it was a struggle for just two people."

    The property was clean and functional Oh and it's a semi detached, I don't recall seeing that anywhere in the description!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, we are sorry that you felt that there was not enough equipment in the kitchen, We have never had any issues previously and we understand from the owner that a family of 6 can easily be catered. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

  • "This semi-detached bungalow was ideally situated for exploring North Cornwall."

    Being opposite the Pityme Inn was a great advantage. The back grass could have done with a cut as it was really too long to eat out. Otherwise it had very comfortable beds with an excellent kitchen.

    Apart from that, the property was nice and we would book again.

  • "Enjoyable stay in a nicely decorated and clean bungalow."

    The walk in shower had a fault with temp gauge. Reported it as it would be dangerous and could scald someone. Front door sticks & is hard to shut. I see a previous guest had reported it so would have expected it to be fixed. As previous reviews had stated they received a welcome pack so I didn't take tea, coffee etc. Anyway we didn't receive one. Luckily shop across road was open.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these issues. Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays and to the owner. We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues and would love to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

  • "Lovely comfortable bungalow with a welcome bag of goodies."

    We were two families of 5 and there was plenty of room. The bedrooms had comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms with an additional toilet in the utility room. Games and toys for children, the pub across the road which also had the village shop. Found a lane across from the pub to walk the dogs in the mornings. The grass needed cutting but the gardeners came on the Tuesday. Bit confused regarding the wheelie bins but put them out on the Wednesday evening and were emptied before we left but not by the normal dustmen but contractors for holiday lets. It said no glass in the bins but they gave us a bag to put our bottles in and took them. I would highly recommend this bungalow

    Thank you for you kind comments regarding your stay with us. We are pleased to hear you had plenty of room and found the lovely dog walk aswell as the lovely local pub. We very much look forward to welcoming you back in the very near future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owners Property Owner

    Besides the Cornish weather nearly everything was perfect! Very well equipped kitchen, a very spacious and bright dining room and living room! Comfortable bedding and two huge bath/ shower rooms! Separate laundry and drying room, perfect for a family stay! We only missed a wardrobe in one of the bedrooms, a full size mirror and the dining table chairs aren’t much comfortable! But this didn’t spoil our holidays ! We had a great time at Obo‘s Retreat ! Spacious private parking….and the Pityme Pub is just across the street offering great food and drinks!

    Close to many beautiful places you'll want to explore, Polzeath, Rock, Padstow and so many more. After a day in the surf we couldn't wait to get back, To lovely hot showers, cosy beds, ready to hit the sack. If you are a chef at heart the kitchen has all you will need, Many hungry mouths you will be able to feed. If a take away or eating out is what you are after, There is a pub across the road filled with ale, good food and laughter. And when you are tired and weary from the Cornish sea air, The comfy sofas are ready so a film you can share. Obo's Retreat is a perfect place for a holiday together, Thanks for the memories, we'll treasure them forever.

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Obo's Retreat and had the perfect base to explore the local area from! We would love to welcome you back anytime in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. 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.
