"Firstly, I want to make clear we are very fond of this property and have stayed here numerous times."
It makes it all the more disappointing that we have had such a negative experience this time. We stayed here last year and reported that the bread knife was missing from the knife block - it still hasn't been replaced! it's very frustrating to return from the excellent local bakers with a freshly baked loaf and have to hack it apart with an unsuitable knife. Our main problem was with the downstairs, the armchairs are looking very grubby and worn out. Apart from that, one of them is a potential health hazard, so much so we didn't use it at all, the front legs are 'wonky' and one of them looks on the point of collapse. There is a general air of neglect otherwise, the door handle to the main bedroom comes off and did so twice, two of the loo roll holders likewise, all for the sake of a small retaining screw. The grill tray in the oven was caked in the charred remains of previous meals. I had to scrub it with a scourer myself, surely this should be clean for each new customer? We won't be returning until we are sure these issues have been addressed, the attention to detail is sadly lacking.

"A couple of minor points, plug socket outside downstairs toilet was loose from ..."
A couple of minor points, plug socket outside downstairs toilet was loose from the wall, towel tail in downstairs toilet not secure, behind tv was very dirty, would say not cleaned from decorative work, hooks on the doors from lounge to garden do not reach the doors, a few small details to sort otherwise a really nice place to stay
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I am sorry that you found those issues with the plug socket, towel rail and TV in Lowenna Manor 10, we will make note of them and raise with the appropriate people to rectify them in future. We do hope you enjoyed your stay despite these issues and hope to welcome you back soon. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner

"On the whole the cottage is absolutely fine but it is a shame that all the comments in previous reviews about loose doorknobs etc haven't been acted upon."
We arrived on a cool autumnal evening and were unable to get any heating going so a manual with instructions would be very helpful - including where to put the rubbish. Slightly irritating to have to take our own bed linen but I gather this isn't unusual for the area.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, please be assured that the previous comments have been noted and works have been carried out during the winter months to ensure the property is ready for the busy 2023 season. We do hope to welcome you back to Lowenna Manor 10 soon so you can see the works that have been done. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"Lovely property in a great location but in need of a freshen up."
Coat of paint / fixing the loose coat hooks / door handles etc It had been cleaned superficially but could do with a deeper clean which we would have expected Hand towels and hand wash would have been nice too - the bedding policy is clear, but pretty much every other rental company provides bedding so a gesture like hand towels would be appreciated
Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay at Lowenna Manor 10.During the past few months the property has had maintenance works carried out to ensure it is fresh and ready for the season ahead. - John Bray Cornish holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"Hi! Whilst this is a lovely property in a great location it is very tired, shelves, handles, sockets falling off all walls, broken blinds in bedroom."
Very moth eaten carpet in master bedroom. Mould in master en-suite. Very shabby paint work. The property has clearly had the most cursory wipe round and needs properly cleaning. Frankly it’s dirty and the rate for a week is not cheap.
Thank you for your feedback we are really sorry to hear about the issues you had during your stay. We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues. The property has had works carried out this winter to ensure it is ready for the 2023 season. It would be great to welcome you back to Lowenna Manor 10 in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holiday's on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"Lovely location but property needs a bit of care and attention abit of decorating blinds upstairs dated, chairs in lounge scruffy,door hangers and toilet roll holders all need screwing on, ensuite bathroom looks dirty as grout round bottom tiles all coming out there's a socket in the hallway which we put a night light in nearly came out of the wall when we removed it ."
Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. We're very sorry that you had to experience these issues during your visit, The property has had work carried out this winter so it is fresh for the 2023 season. We hope to welcome you back to Lowenna Manor 10 so you can see the changes that have been made. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

"The property was quite disappointing."
It looked tired and very much in need of a makeover. We had several issues during our stay, the main one being the wifi not working because a bill had not been paid. That was resolved by John Bray with a temporary router after a couple of days. The place had not been cleaned too well before we arrived, with sand on the leather settees and dust everywhere. I had to flush the en suite toilet with a bucket several times which was not ideal. Numerous light bulbs were out in the living room, kitchen and en suite. Also the guttering needed repairing in several places. Whenever it rained at night the noise was quite intrusive. We have had many great holidays in John Bray properties over the years, but this was not one of them.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay! We're very sorry that you had to experience these issues during your stay. Your comments have been passed on to the owner and to the team at John Bray Cornish Holidays. We hope to welcome you back in the future! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

"There was no book telling us about the cottage."
That the Internet modem and telephone were hidden inside the fuse box. - Where the rubbish bins were located - Where the central heating timer was located etc. And being picky and 70 years old and being used to a “45 inch TV at home the TV there is so very small but we have thought this about a lot of properties over the last 30 years that we have hired places through John Bray. But we really enjoyed our stay here and would like to stay there again
Thank you so much for your comments. We apologise for the issues that you experienced and we will look into the couple of items that you have raised. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

The property
Lowenna Manor 10 occupies a prime location in the centre of Rock village on the North Cornwall coast.
This elegant, self-catering property has been converted into a three-storey terraced holiday house with a newly extended utility room; ideally placed on the ground floor enabling surfers, sailors, and sandy or wet children to shed their damp gear and jump straight into a hot shower.
A small private garden is enclosed and sheltered with attractive shrubs, roses, and rosemary, making Lowenna Manor 10 the ideal base for alfresco dining and socialising.
The master bedroom boasts a handsome king-size bed and a very smart en-suite shower room; there is also a twin bedroom with 3ft beds, and a further twin bedroom on the second floor, which is accessed from an open staircase with no door.
A practical, well-equipped kitchen with room to cook up some enticing local produce, that can easily be purchased from the nearby butcher, fishmonger, deli, or well-stocked spar shop, is on offer.
An open-plan light, bright lounge/dining room has lovely French doors leading out onto the small, paved patio area and garden - an oasis of calm; Lowenna Manor 10 also has shared use of the landscaped communal gardens and boules court.
The property is an ideal base for golfers, being situated right on the edge of the St Enodoc golf course with two courses on offer.
Walkers will enjoy exploring the pretty footpaths that meander alongside the fairways.
Families can take a picnic and walk down through the golf course to find somewhere to settle between Rock and Daymer Bay, after choosing one of the many paths through the sand dunes.
The peaceful cove of Porthilly is a lovely easy walk from Lowenna Manor 10 and is wonderful for bird watching, beachcombing, or swimming.
Escape to the Cornish coastline at Lowenna Manor 10.

Set within its own grounds each house has their own gardens but benefit from the large open spaces beyond and around that are communal to all the properties. With footpaths to two sides, one leading to the Golf course and onto Rock beach the ferry, and further to Brea Hill and Daymer Bay, the other going to the Newsagent, Bakery, Butcher, Fish monger and shops, it is set in a location that needs very little car travel around the village. Perfect to switch off from the constant pressure of being car bound!

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.
