• "We had an amazing stay."

  The house was warm and comfortable with everything that we needed. We had read several negative reviews from the past, which simply did not match up to our positive experience. The house was clean, well-presented with everything we needed. It was such a nice touch to arrive late and find milk ane bread for us which was much appreciated. The location is perfect for everything in Rock and Polzeath. The house was quiet with little sign of neighbours. The kitchen was suitably well-equipped for our needs and there was good wifi and tv access for when we needed it. We have had the most amazing week and will certainly be booking again. I can’t think of any negatives about the property.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed all that Kirra has to offer, and that the property suited you so well. We look forward to welcoming you back again sometime in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

• "Overall the property is a bit tired - the bathrooms and kitchen are especially shabby and in need of some updating."

  The upstairs shower head would not stay up and the downstairs shower handle was on the floor when we arrived. The kitchen tap is loose and not working properly; the oven is really old; the grill pan was full of grease from a previous occupant; and the kitchen generally looks tired. There is no coffee machine or hairdryer which is disappointing. The firepit outside was full of old ash and all the grates were filthy. The outside of the property needs some maintenance. In terms of location it's great and we had a lovely week's holiday.

• "Kirra is in a great location between Daymer Lane and Polzeath and to the coastal path."

  although these would be a little challenging for small children to walk. The accommodation is basic. Both bathrooms need updating especially the shower over the bath in the ensuite and the downstairs' shower which required a piece of string to enable the shower to stay on the right temperature. The beds are ok for a short stay but any longer than four days would have resulted in back ache. Some plates and bowls were chipped. Kitchen tap is in desperate need of replacing.

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.

• "Kirra is a nice little property and because we know Polzeath very well it's easy to overlook some of the issues."

  Of particular note is the obvious damp problem that affects the under stairs cupboard. The damp smell permeates the ground floor if the door is opened and also creates mold in the ground floor shower room. Also, the kitchen mixer tap should be properly fixed - the makeshift repair is shaky and will fail!! Cleanliness was generally ok but someone had left a rusty old grill pan on the patio and there was a disintegrating coal scuttle under the sink in the utility room that scattered rust flakes if accidentally touched. Such a shame!

• "A lovely homey base for our long weekend stay."

  It was just down the road from family we were visiting so perfect location, great facilities and super dog friendly. The enclosed garden was our saviour at night time when it got dark. The kitchen taps seemed to struggle a bit with a good pressure, but it didn’t affect our stay at all. The log burner was a wonderful addition too, especially in cold January. Looking forward to coming back in years to come. Thank you!

  Thank you for your kind comments, I will get the water pressure checked in the kitchen, thank you for letting us know. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again soon. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

• "We loved our stay at Kirra."

  The location was ideal, and it was perfectly spacious for six people and a dog. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again. The only thing I would add is that the taps in the kitchen need looking at as cold water flow very weak.

  Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. We will keep an eye on the kitchen taps so thank you for letting us know! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

• "We enjoyed our stay although left a day early due to oncoming storm Betty."

  The only comments I have are 1. Curtain hooks missing in sitting room/kitchen. It looks tatty 2. It would help to provide towels of different colours for each person. With two teenagers, towels are left on floors so it is anyone’s guess who’s is who’s. The house generally was well equipped and very clean on arrival. Patricia

  Thank you for kind words regarding your stay at Kirra. The issue with the curtain hooks has been raised to our maintenance department. We hope to welcome you back in the very near future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner

• "Very happy that rusty dishwasher has been replaced and some areas improved a little."

  We do love staying here and have done so many times but one of single beds in bigger downstairs room has been broken for some time now and gives a very uncomfortable nights sleep

  Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future! We will raise the issue with the bed to our maintenance team to inspect. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

• "The property was perfect for our needs and the location is great."

  However we suffered by being the first visitors since the house was closed up for the winter. There were several teething problems (broken keys, door locks not working, plumbing leak under the sink, lack of hot water in the downstairs shower and an excess of black dog hair everywhere) which we had to endure and find solutions for.

• "We are on day 1 of our 2 week stay and so far very disappointed with the property facilities."

  The fridge shelves are barely being held up with raw plugs! Not ok!! The dishwasher shelves are so rusty it will be a health hazard to use which means for my holiday I have more work to do! There is no outside washing line so I have had to rig one up and the doors and windows are intolerably noisey at night. For just shy of £5000 to rent it is a disgrace! I tried to call but of course being a Sunday no one is available. I do hope you read this and affect change for us. We love Cornwall and Polzeath is where we come ever year and this property has let Sykes down!

  Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry that the facilities were not up to standard that you had expected when renting the property; We have been working with the owner to improve areas of the property including installing a washing line.

• "We have stayed in Kirra many times over the years."

  It is a lovely spacious cottage and has most things you would need. All beds and towels provided and beautifully laundered and nice new gesture having a little bag of goodies on arrival. Lovely to see a new television this year and new outdoor table and chairs. However some items especially in the kitchen need replacing now. The dishwasher was very rusty this year and the fridge has been just holding it together. Taps in the kitchen sink are kind of wobbly and under the sink leaks a little. Generally house needs a bit of a facelift now, just a repaint and a proper clean behind and under the furniture. I had to restrain myself from clearing under the furniture on arrival and hoovering and properly cleaning things. I know it is a holiday home but we have been here so many times over the years and it obviously needs some TLC now. We would love to come back and hope some of these items may be addressed.

  Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the new additions and improvements. Regarding the maintenance issues you have reported, we have raised these with our maintenance team and they will rectify when possible. We hope despite these, you still enjoyed your stay and we would love to welcome you back in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

  Spacious, clean, with beautiful views and all the amenities you would expect. We did notice a small drip under the sink. John Bray quickly sorted. All in all we had a great holiday, thank you.

  The property was so unloved, tired and past its sell buy date. Location was excellent.

• "My family and I really enjoyed our holiday and Kirra’s location."

  I / we feel that the property is looking a little bit tired and could do with a bit of a Spruce up. I.e linings on the curtains in the downstairs bedrooms. Mattress in the larger downstairs bedroom quite uncomfortable ( the one nearest the window ). The property was quite clean upon arrival however when we cleaned and hoovered the lounge during our stay we found debris under the settees which must have been left by previous occupants.

  Thank you for your feedback, we apologise that the cleaning was not up to standard but we have reported this to our housekeeping team to ensure to be checked in future. We are glad you enjoyed your stay regardless and would love to have you back in the future! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
