  • "Lovely comfortable cottage."

    Great location.Easy walk to the cove and beyond. Only problem I had was locking the front door !! It was a bit hit and miss .

    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 door! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

  • "Place really needs a hit of money spending to bring up to date."

    Electrical wires not in conduit for one. Every time we put the towel rail on. The downstairs bathroom tripped the fuse. The microwave was making a very weird noise. This in my view is basic and should be checked prior to rental.

    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. 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.

  • "Upon reading a negative review prior to our stay, I did reach out to John Bray ahead of our arrival."

    Having now spent a week at St Michael's I do agree with some comments previously posted but unfairly that review is no longer visible. St Michael's is superbly located for the beach and a short stroll into the Village. The lounge in particular has been furnished sympathetically, making it comfortable and cosy. The kitchen is superbly kitted out, albeit the oven and hob were rusty in places. The downstairs shower was dirty and well overdue a refurb. The tops of the economy 7 radiators were grimy and the courtyard area is in desperate need of a jet wash. The up cycling of the bedroom furniture is commendable, but the pieces are now stained, shabby and unsightly. All in all, I wouldn't return to St Michael's. The rental price is reflective of the proximity to the beach and not on the standard of accomodation on offer.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed St Michaels surroundings and living space during your stay. However, we are sorry to hear that you encountered some cleanliness and maintenance issues whilst at the property. All feedback is shared with the owner and your comments have been raised to our Quality Assurance Assessor, housekeeping and maintenance teams. We hope to welcome you back in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

  • "Was a lovely cottage in a great location the only couple of things I would say but wouldn't put me off booking again."

    The bedroom curtains did not block out any light even with the blinds so when the early morning sunrises 5something there is no getting back to sleep as the room was so bright sadly. The court yard looked lovely on the photos however never sat out there as was really dirty, could do with a good jet wash and not the property fault but no sun in the evening which was a shame.

    Only grumble was the heating which took hours to heat up & hours to cool down - maybe I was doing something wrong? Fortunately the weather was good so not a big issue .

  • "Lovely house, lovely location."

    BUT!! the house was absolutely disgusting we had to clean all cooking utensils and crockery as it had been put away dirty. The downstairs loo had human excrement on it. And bathroom room was not very clean. Out side in the court yard was dog poo and used dish clothes. The house was generally not very clean. Would not recommend. Which is quite sad. I have never complained about a house before.

  • "The cottage is well placed for walking to the beach and cafes etc."

    There is quite a lot of road traffic very early in the morning going to the Oyster farm. Bedding and towels are extra. Could do with clear glass in the door to the yard, to make it less oppressive on dull days.

  • "Lovely cottage - well equipped, clean, well situated, nicely decorated, comfy beds, quiet location, good parking."

    We chose it becaue there was an accesible, downstairs bedroom which suited an elderly grandparent. Bit of a pain bringing and fitting our own bed linen, but I guess this keeps the cost down? It even had a few extras which were not listed - an outside shed for storing wet beach gear with a tumble drier there. Also a cafetiere and hair-dryer (John Bray told me these were not at the property so we had to bring our own, unecessarily). We discovered the shower head fixing was broken but John Bray got it fixed straight away (on the Saturday). Having only one stand-up shower was OK for us as a group of 3, but if 6 were staying, then there might be a bit of a queue in the morning, or after a day at the beach! I suppose children would be happy to use the upstairs bath and hand shower. Overall, I would recommend the place.

    Thank you for your lovely comments, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Sorry for any confusion of the items supplied. we hope to welcome you back in the near future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner

    Loved the location, and the property was comfortable and cozy. Very close to Rock and just a few minutes from Porthilly beach too. Added bonus of a couple of electric car charging points just up the road which was a real plus being an EV driver. We will certainly return.

  • "The cottage at St Michaels is in a good location."

    The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. There is a washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer which were all useful. We had some problems with the keysafe but these were resolved quickly and the staff at John Bray were both friendly and helpful. Only negatives: We were aware that we had to bring our own linen and towels but I personally think this should never be the case nowadays. The cottage was not as clean as we would have hoped- kitchen and bathrooms were clean but around the house things were a bit grubby.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your holiday along with the property. We hope to welcome you back to North Cornwall soon. 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.
