“An absolutely fantastic place to stay!”

The house is beautiful, spotlessly clean and perfectly located for walking to Damer Bay or Polzeath. We had a lovely week, thank you ever so much!

“We had a lovely stay and the Haven was lovely.”

We were let down by select villages as had a big house booked with family at Kennacourt which was postponed from the pandemic. They cancelled us with 2 weeks notice and no real explanation so we had to find new accommodation. Sykes were amazing. So simple and organised. We were contacted when we arrived to check all was okay. Had a lovely family break. Thank you

“We arrived in the evening and the following morning I had to go to John Bray's Rock office with some items of concern listed below and others became apparent during our stay: - Cupboard door in kitchen for waste bin was falling off its hinges.”

- Cupboard door in TV room came off in my hand as I opened it. - Light in fridge in kitchen not working correctly. - Neither of the two outside PIR sensor floodlights were working so difficult to unload car in the dark. - Internal lights in both ovens were not working. - Top floor bedroom sash window impossible to fully close so serious draught and wind noise at night. - Microwave fan catching on housing during cooling with clattering noise. - Both ovens needed a serious clean and grease could be wiped off with kitchen paper towel. - Door compartment covers in fridge in utility room were missing which reduced capacity. - Shower in ensuite on first floor was broken - subsequent visit by maintenance man confirmed the thermostat had failed. - Shower trays in ensuite and other first floor bathrooms were in an appalling state with black mould all around the bottom of the trays. The maintainance man did his best to scrub clean but these two shower trays clearly need replacing. I have photo's of these if you wish to see them. - Main bedroom mattress is stained - we did not discover this until we stripped the beds on departure. Single bedroom mattress was also stained. I have photo's to send. - Several of the cooking utensils were unusable due to the non stick coating flaking off. This is the third large family property we have rented from John Bray in the last 16 months at a cumulative cost of almost £9,000. The other property (The Old Granary, Cants Farm) was excellent and was booked twice. The Haven is in need of updating in several areas, in particular the kitchen and several of the bathrooms. I can only assume that previous hirers have not bothered to report the faults we encountered. Following my visit to the Rock office a most helpful maintenance man visited the same afternoon and repaired cupboard doors but was unable to replace the shower in our ensuite. This was a most disappointing (and expensive) experience and makes us reluctant to consider future rentals with Sykes / John Bray.

“The doors handles on the doors were a little rickety and included us getting locked into the master bedroom soon rectified with the maintenance man repairing within 24 hours.”

The beds were so comfortable, is it possible to know where they came from. A lovely stay and we would love to rebook Many thanks Ruth Brown

“The house was lovely and comfortable and we liked it a lot.”

In fact we would say it was perfect for our family holiday and we would love to book it for next year. Possibly for 2 weeks if we can. The only two things I would say are about the kitchen: the kitchen utensils and crockery need a bit of an overhaul and they weren't very clean. It could do with a new set of saucepans, a new water jug for the table and some standard water glasses. There were hardly any there and the ones that were there were so fine that I couldn't give them to the children as they would break them. Also the kitchen needs a good clear out - there feels like there are lots of bits and bobs and clutter from previous stays. The kitchen didn't feel like it had been cleaned very well. Including the crockery. Apart from that, the other rooms were immaculate and we had no issues at all. It felt very comfortable and clean and we loved the way it had been decorated.

About the location

DAYMER BAY

Polzeath 1.3 miles; Rock 2.3 miles.

Daymer Bay and the village of Trebetherick were both loved by Sir John Betjeman and are unquestionably special. With a huge appeal to both the young and not so young, Daymer Bay has recently been voted one of the best beaches in the world! St. Enodoc Church, once buried in the sand, is within comfortable walking distance of Daymer Bay and is the resting place of Sir John Betjeman. Daymer Bay holds great appeal for wind surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders, with the gentle waves rolling up the estuary. There is enormous fun too for small children with buckets and spades and fishing in the rock pools. At low tide you can walk across the sand to the village of Rock to indulge in a spot of retail therapy or a bite to eat at one of the many delicious eateries, or catch the short ferry ride and explore the delights of Padstow. Up from the coast path as it runs from Daymer Bay is Highcliffe, nestling between Polzeath and Trebetherick, both of which boast a number of pubs, restaurants and village stores all offering a wide variety of fresh quality produce. The properties at Highcliffe have the advantage of being within easy reach of Daymer, Polzeath and Greenaway - Greenaway being the name given to the clifftop area, beach and small cove with rock pools overlooking the Atlantic beyond that lies between Daymer and Polzeath.

Pets are restricted to the ground floor area and are to be left in the utility room overnight.
