Rocky Close

Just perfection, the views, accommodation.

The hot tub is well maintained, with quality checks couple times a week. To walk into town and back we found the best route along the side of the cemetery,with steps down, avoiding some the steep hills, we didn't want to leave such a perfect place. Thank you to the owner.

The accommodation and facilities were excellent.

Very clean and modern. I chose this to celebrate my 60th birthday in mid October with my husband, 2 children & their partners, a friend and my son's small dog.. 7 adults. It was plenty big enough to accommodate us all with the separate lounge and the snug, large kitchen and a bathroom for each couple and a shower room for my single friend. Due to my disability, I had the downstairs bedroom and ensuite. Both were large and the bed was very comfortable. However, I found the settee in the snug to be too uncomfortable for me but was compensated by the taller settee and the log burner in the lounge. The log burner was easy to use and everything provided. Having the 2 TVs and 2 rooms was a nice touch, it meant we didn't live in each others pockets. The dining table seated us all and also doubled as an excellent games table. The Jacuzzi was clean and enjoyable. Only one tiny gripe and that was the outside light's timer overlooking the jacuzzi switched off after a couple of seconds and in October the evenings are dark after 7pm. This meant we were walking round the jacuzzi in the dark. In summer this wouldn't be a problem but perhaps the timing switch could be altered for the other seasons and just be on for a bit more to get out of the jacuzzi and in the house. The sea view was lovely and we all enjoyed watching the sunrises and sunsets over the sea and beach... when we weren't out and about. We had a fantastic 5 days and can recommend this property.

We have just had the best week at Rocky Close, from the moment we arrived it felt like home so clean and cosy.

Lovely place to relax

We had an amazing week at Rocky Close.

The property was fabulous and everything we wished for. The rooms were all super spacious, the downstairs double with en-suite perfect for my elderly father. The house was immaculate and beds so comfy, the hot tub was very welcome on some of the wet drizzly days. The views were to die for and well worth the climb up those steep hills! We would definitely recommend for the perfect location and homely luxury

We had a fantastic week at Rocky Close (Easter 2024).

The house is fab - exceptionally clean and comfortable with loads of space and great views - and the hot tub was a fantastic addition. Host was super helpful and friendly checking on the hot tub to make sure all working ok. Perfect family getaway.

The property couldn’t have been any better, beautiful property in the perfect location.

We will be back soon

This place is amazing.

Pictures do not do it justice. Rooms are big and everything is provided. View is beautiful and hot tub to boot. What more could be said. New batteries in the remote for Netflix would have helped and I’m sure they would have been done I’d we asked. Nothing was any trouble and lovely people to book with. Highly recommend and would visit again.

Amazing views and a spacious property with all we needed.

The hot tub was much appreciated as was the log burner, though the house was warm with good heating. The beds were comfortable and it was good to have the facilities of the utility room too. The walk down to the beach and Tate gallery was easy -also back though it is of course a steep hill! Walking down into the facilities of the town was also easy through the small streets. There weren't lots of seats in the sitting room close to the decking but we moved some from one of the bedrooms so we could all sit comfortably during our stay. It was a brilliant holiday and place to stay. (Small niggle : the dinner plates are too large for the dishwasher and it wasn't possible to move the top rack up any further. Small but irritating as we ended up washing them up!)

The house was absolutely perfect, the views were beautiful.

The house gave us everything we needed, we wanted for nothing. The house was spotless, lovely white bedding an fluffy white towels. All kitchen utensils were available for us to use, it was like home from home. Liz the owner was more than helpful, very friendly and approachable. We had an amazing week, 4 adults an 2 children…the house had more than enough space for us all. We will definitely be back an would recommend this house to anyone looking for a chilled holiday. I will miss those mornings sunrises an looking out to the ocean

We loved our stay at Rocky Close.

The place was beautiful and views absolutely stunning. All in all an extremely enjoyable holiday had by all and I would definitely recommend booking through Sykes Cottages. 10 out of 10. Thank you so very much.
