• "Just returned from staying at Black Rock, it was a perfect place to explore Cornwall."

  The cottage is spacious and well equipped. The beds are really comfortable and have quality bedding. The hot tub was a great addition to enjoy after sight seeing. When we arrived the hot tub was warmed and a Cornish cream tea welcomed us after a long travel which was really thoughtful. We loved staying here and we will most definitely be returning to Cornwall and Black rock. Thank you for such a great stay.

• "The property is in a great location to get out and about."

  We went from the south to the north coast with ease compared to other locations we’ve stayed in the past. The owner was on hand if needed. We enjoyed the enclosed rear garden and private hot tub. The cottage is situated in a lovely quiet spot with plenty of space to park. We made good use of the kitchen to cook some meals but also ate out each day. The cottage is fairly well equipped but doesn’t have a washing machine or a hoover. To be fair there is only a small amount of carpet but I’d have happily vacuumed before we left. It’s a great location and we had a lovely time. Thank you.

• "Back from a lovely weeks stay."

  We were welcomed by the owner and generous scones and cream tea. The cottage was charming with an airy feel and extremely comfortable beds! The kids loved the novelty of sleeping upstairs whilst we were downstairs and having their own ensuite. We were asked if we wanted the hottub on for our arrival and then were told it would be the next day but we didn't mind. The hottub was also not wood-fired and was in an outbuilding which was a bit of a let down as the scenery and views are spectacular, but, the children enjoyed it. 'Blackrock' was the cottage next door and we stayed in 'Leghorn' on the end. The garden is a little suntrap for early evening lounges - we brought our own picnic blankets. We got to meet the resident, free-range goat who is rather a character. So quiet apart from the sounds of nature and livestock. Our favourite go-to was Charlestown which we well recommend along with The Eden Project.

• "The the property was ideal as a base for our holiday."

  Lovely views. Very clean and well equipped. The only disappointment was the hot tub. It took too long to heat up in fact we didn't get it warmer than a luke warm bath and didn't like the smell of smoke.

• "We had the most comfortable and relaxing week at Black Rock."

  The furnishings and contents of the cottage were of the highest standard, we especially appreciated the comfy beds. The hot tub was a must after a long day at the Eden Project. We would love to return some day.

• "A great position for travelling around Cornwall to view was stunning at the front with sea views think there should be more comfortable sitting so you can enjoy, was comfortable inside but little things let it down no oven gloves !"

  ! Would have been nice to have coffee I think instead of shop bought scones coffee would have been better also maybe some baskets downstairs to put shoes in would have been good too, but we had a great stay and the weather was kind

• "11/10 rating!"

  Extremely grateful to have spent the week celebrating our honeymoon and our daughters 1st birthday in such a lovely house & area! Definitely worth the 6 and a half hour drive! My wife is a huge lover of farm animals and it was brilliant to have been able to say good morning to the cows every day with our daughter. The house was immaculate, a stunning view looking out to the coast and no noise around. Only little point to make was we didn’t buy sauces or cooking spray when we did our shop as presumed they might have been in a cupboard but that was the only tiny snag we had all week. 110% will be booking again. Thank you so much!

• "Beautiful accommodation, great location with amazing views!"

  Was disappointed that despite paying to have our dog join us for an additional cost, we were notified on arrival that they could not be left unattended at any time, this did mean we couldn’t go out for an hour or so for a meal or drink without the dog. This should have been more clearly communicated. The dog was not allowed upstairs, which was of course completely understandable but when the gate was left open by mistake and made the bed sheet dirty, we were unable to clean the bedding as there wasn’t the washing machine advertised. We were then billed £28 for a single bed sheet without notice. These two things contributed to a very disappointing experience in the end.

  The house had everything you needed, a comfortable night's sleep and enough room for a family of four to not feel cooped up. The hot tub was definitely a bonus as the kids enjoyed going in after a day out. Lovely views of the sea too!

• "Very spacious property."

  Extremely clean and comfortable. All furniture, appliances, crockery etc of high quality. Lovely cream tea ready for us to have at the property on arrival is a lovely touch. Enclosed back garden so the dogs were safe. Hot tub was great every night once we worked it out. Just don’t put too much wood in there or it gets too hot. Property in very quiet surroundings . 20 minute walk to the Eden project or 5 minutes in the car. If you are a runner would definitely recommend going down there to do the parkrun on Saturday morning as you get to stay in the Eden project for free and it’s so worth the visit . Would definitely recommend staying at Blackrock because of how comfortable and spacious it is and in a great location for exploring the Cornish coast

• "We really enjoyed our week at Black Rock cottage."

  Everything we could have needed was provided, including the ingredients for a lovely cream tea on arrival! We loved the fact that the floor was tiled downstairs which made it a lot less stressful in October with a hairy dog! The location is beautiful and you can even see the sea from the cottage due to its vantage point. A nice enclosed garden was good for the dog, and would be nice to sit out in during the summer months. Overall we would thoroughly recommend staying at Black Rock, and would happily return ourselves, thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

• "Black Rock cottage was everything we were looking for our holiday stay."

  It was very clean, cosy and well appointed. The owner was friendly, helpful but never intrusive. The welcome cream tea was a lovely touch. The only one small thing we would have found helpful was a written set of instructions for the dishwasher, cooker and hot tub to refer to when in doubt. The owner did cover these in his 'tour' when the first members of our party arrived but in all the excitement of settling in the details were later found to have slipped away.

  The cottage is modern and well appointed and the hot tub was a lovely extra that provided many relaxing evenings. The owners gave us lots of information on how to enjoy our stay and were just a stones throw away should there be a problem, but were not intrusive at all. I would recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again. The only thing missing was the Xbox, but we were glad to not have it as a distraction and so didn't ask about it.

  The exclusive use of the wood fired hot tub is a wonderful bit of luxury at the end of a day of sightseeing. The views over the coast and sea are beautiful and you can either walk or drive to the Eden project, which is only three minutes away by car. The owners are very helpful if you ever need anything and arriving to find milk, tea and cream scones with jam for you was a really nice touch.

  With fabulous views overlooking the countryside and sea from our bedroom window, to the enclosed garden at the back making it very safe for our dogs, Black Rock was everything we needed. It was nice having our own bathrooms, the kitchen was well stocked and functional, the beds were comfortable, and for us, the cherry on the cake after a 7 hour drive was that the owners had pre-heated the hot tub for us so all we had to do was stoke the fire up a little more, and soak! The addition of milk, teabags and all the ingredients for a Cornish cream tea was a lovely touch, and we also bought a box of delicious fresh eggs. All in all, a lovely stay and would definitely recommend! :)

• "The property is located in a great central location to access the local tourist attractions such as the Gardens of Heligan and Eden Project."

  The hosts were lovely and informative and on hand to provide extra logs for the fire and eggs when needed. The property itself was fantastic, it has a great living space and two good sized bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen had all the utensils required for a weeks stay and we enjoyed eating in as much as out. The only negative was the property needed a more thorough clean before arrival (oven and floors predominately). A hoover would have been helpful to have on hand thoroughout the stay to help with picking up sand etc when going to the beach.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Rock, the accommodation was extremely comfortable."

  The location perfect for strolling down to the Eden Project. It's handy for the Lost Gardens of Heligan and south west path walks. We recommend the walks from Fowey to Polkerris and from Carlyon Bay to Charlestown. Our only disappointed was no logs were provided for the log burner but Tesco is just a few minutes away by car so we were able to buy logs and kindling there. The central heating was perfectly adequate, but we love a log fire. We hope to return to Black Rock next year.

  Everything was immaculate and we settled in and lite the log burner, poured a glass of red and felt at home immediately. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The weather was a little wet so say the least but even when we weren’t out exploring the wonderful sights of the Cornish coast we quite happily settled down and stayed in. There was everything that was needed for a comfortable stay. Sadly due to Covid we were unable to access the hot tub but this is quite understandable. Thank you from Anne and Simon

• "Black Rock cottage is in a fabulous location with a lovely view of St Austell bay."

  The cottage was comfortable with modern amenities. We were however, disappointed that the advertised hot tub was not available, there was no washing machine in the cottage and the laundry facility was also not available. It might be a good idea to replace the dish washer with a washing machine. Much more useful. One more thing, we were there for two weeks and the bedding was not changed. Having mentioned these things I must say that we had a fabulous holiday and would definitely come again.

  We asked the daughter of the owners, I think , about using hot tub to which she rang her parents for instructions how to use it , again I thought at some point in the week they would have come to introduce themselves and answer any queries we had but saw no one. On the departure morning we left the key inside the property as we had found it on arrival , again nobody told us what to do with the keys.
