“A stunning property with amazing views.”

Only criticism is that the cleanliness wasn't great and we arrived to a dishwasher full of dirty crockery, some so stained that we had to wash it several times. Also many tumblers were chipped. Other than that we had a fantastic holiday and would return.

“The mattress on the double on the top floor is well past its best.”

The matress protectors are tired and need replacing. Especially when you have super king cover on a king size bed

- Peter, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback, this has been shared with the owners to consider replacement bedding. We do hope you otherwise had a great stay and that you choose to book with John Bray Cornish Holidays again. Property Owner

“Property was awesome, better than described with views to die for.”

Loads of thoughtful touches with games for the kids to play with etc. The only down side was the cleaning company who let themselves into the property before we were scheduled to check out. They loaded all their cleaning chemicals into the hallway where the kids shoes were situated and stood around until I asked them to leave. Very unprofessional letting themselves into the property before the allotted time and without our permission. Left a small sour taste on and amazing break. We would definitely book with the owners again

“Thank you for such a great stay.”

The house is beautiful and furnished and equipped to a high standard. The views are amazing and the house is convenient for walking into Port Isaac and coastal walks to Polzeath and Tintagel. There are plenty of options for eating in Port Isaac and a small Co-Op nearby. This was one of the best holidays we have had in Cornwall.

- Debby, May 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments, we very much look forward to welcoming you back very soon. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“We have stayed at a few John Bray rentals in Castle Rock and this was the worst experience we have had.”

The property had an end of season feeling; a window lock broken, bulb out, carpets filthy and stained with wine. The housekeeping was poor with a blocked shower drain and a significant number of kitchen utensils dirty and requiring washing. The properties are also now showing their age. The master bedroom bed was soft as were the dining area chairs. Most of the symbols on the cooker have worn off so using was trial and error. Worst of all was the positioning of the bed in the master bedroom. It was side on against a wall which is completely unacceptable. On the positive side we enjoy staying in the development. The views and village location are great and the parking a real bonus. This was our first disappointing stay in a John Bray property.

- Nicholas, September 2021

We have been reviewing all of our feedback for the past few seasons, we just wanted to say a massive thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. Your comments were noted by us here at John Bray Cornish Holidays and were raised to rectify. 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 on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

The property

Rock Lobster is a spacious, modern three storey terraced holiday property enjoying amazing sea and coastal views, from many rooms, over Port Isaac bay in North Cornwall. With flexible accommodation to suit an enlarged family of children and their friends or even the grandparents, this property can sleep 9 in 4 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms and also benefits from a rear patio and an allocated parking space for one vehicle.The ground floor has a king size bedroom with sea views and an en-suite bathroom, plus a bunk bed room with an additional single bed. The serene first floor space has an open plan living room/kitchen with a comfy corner sofa just right for curling up with a good book. The large glass doors with a Juliet balcony can be flung wide open to appreciate the fresh sea breezes and spectacular panoramic views. On the second floor is another ample king sized bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a further bunk bed room; both benefiting from sea views. Also on this floor is a bright, contemporary bathroom.Port Isaac harbour is a pretty and vibrant fishing village with lots of shops, galleries, tea rooms and restaurants on offer. Better known as the fictional village of Port Wenn in Doc Martin, it has also been featured in Poldark and Saving Grace. A wonderful, peaceful place to sit and watch the world go by, relax with a cream tea or a handmade pasty before you head off to explore the stunning coastal paths and you won't be disappointed. Take a stroll down to swim at the pretty nearby cove at Port Gaverne, or for the more daring, swim out and climb the rocks before launching yourself back into the brisk, clear waters at high tide. Try rock pooling, beach combing and stone skimming from this shingled cove before popping over to the bar at the Port Gaverne Inn for refreshments. A 20-minute drive away could take you to the pounding surf at Polzeath or the sheltered sandy bay at Daymer. The busy town of Wadebridge with its supermarkets, shops, cinema and leisure centre is only 8 miles away.Ground Floor Bedroom 3: King size bed (5ft) , sea views, en-suite shower room/WC.

About the location

PORT ISAAC

Polzeath 6.5 miles; Padstow 16 miles

Port Isaac; one of the true Cornish treasures. A beautiful fishing village nestling in a steep sided valley, the old village in the valley remains unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling in the previous century. An abundance of small character properties complemented by larger cliff-top retreats, can be found with easy access to the numerous restaurants and shops of the village. The sandy harbour provides an abundance of rock pools as the tide retreats. There is ample parking at the top of the village and the village is a popular tourist destination with plenty of attractions including the dramatic Doyden Castle, the beautiful Lundy Bay and the famous Doc Martin's clinic. There are also plenty of pubs, restaurants, and shops in the village. Just a short drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike.

Please note, this property does not include bed linen or towels. You are welcome to bring your own with you, or you can hire from Kalu linen hub, who will deliver your order to your holiday cottage. Orders need to be placed at least one week prior to your arrival and please ensure to check the bed configurations of your holiday cottage; especially, where zip and link beds are supplied, as you will need to let them know whether you will be using them as a twin or super king.
