  • "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.

    Thank you for your kind review. Liz Property 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.

    Thank you for your kind feedback. I was unaware of the outside light switching off over the hot tub. We will have a look at that, and replace or change settings. Thanks for letting us know. Property Owner

  • "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

    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.

  • "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!)

    Thank you for your review. Rocky has two lounges. The original lounge with woodburner and ample seating for 8 guests. The second lounge which has bifold doors leading out onto the decking has a "L" shaped sofa that seats 5 or 6 guests. We took the corner out of the cottage to give maximum views across the bay but purposely haven't blocked the view with another sofa. We always hoped that guests use the original lounge when all seating together in the evening, and the lounge with views is the social room during the daytime, and preparation of meals so the whole family can be together. We really don't expect guests to huddle in together, as there is a second larger lounge with ample seating. Property Owner

  • "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

This spacious detached property combines contemporary comfort with a spectacular coastal backdrop, making it an excellent choice for families and groups looking to experience Cornwall's celebrated coastline. Step inside to discover a bright and sociable open-plan living space where large windows and bi-fold doors draw the eye towards the sea beyond.

The well-equipped kitchen features modern appliances and generous preparation space, while the dining area provides the perfect setting for everything from leisurely breakfasts to celebratory suppers. Open the bi-fold doors and step onto the decked terrace, where coastal panoramas provide a stunning backdrop to outdoor dining, morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun begins to dip.

The hot tub is perfectly positioned for soaking in the scenery, offering an ideal place to relax after a day exploring the Cornish coast. The accommodation is arranged across two floors and comprises four thoughtfully presented bedrooms.

On the ground floor, a super-king-size bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
