“Love this place for our holiday in Cornwall.”

Property great- clean, all the facilities we need. Great location. Modern.

Property great- clean, all the facilities we need. Great location. Modern. If we had one criticism , it is that the bed in main bedroom is a bit hard.

“Having read the previous couple of reviews we arrived at Barcelona with some trepidation…I’m happy to say that this was completely unfounded!”

We had a lovely week in the property. We found the house comfortable and clean and we loved the location. It was close enough to walk to the shops and beach but also a little bit tucked away and peaceful which was great after being out for the day. We found the bed comfortable and also appreciated the addition outside of a brand new barbecue although sadly we didn’t find the time to use it. On a personal preference it would be nice to have a full length mirror somewhere in the house and there could, perhaps, be a couple more chopping boards in the kitchen but we managed without and we would definitely book to come back again in the future.

“We really did enjoy our stay.”

Barcelona is a lovely home, beautifully decorated and well equipt. We do have a few areas for feedback which I hope will be taken in the spirit they are given to make an enjoyable stay even better. The post code given for the sat nav did not take us to the holiday home but some way out via an industrial estate to a camping site. It took us a while to find the home which is not ideal after a 4-5 hour journey. I think written directions would be worth including for any future residents. When we did find the destination we didn't know which house we were staying in. We sussed that they were all privately owned and some owners had labelled their parking spaces. There is no indication as to where Barcelona is or where we should park. This could be added the written directions to the property. We had problems with the television in that we couldn't turn it on. It had not been left on standby so had to be switched on via a button at the back of the TV. As the TV is mounted to the wall this is not easy to see. Plus I looked through all the manuals that I could find within the home but couldn't find one for the TV. It took us about an hour to turn the TV on. Rather frustrating. On the topic of manuals I don't think it's necessary to have all the furniture assembly instructions left in the house. They are irrelevant and it makes it harder to find the one you may need such as the cooker, microwave and washing machine. It would also help to have more information about rubbish collection. The information on the laminated sheet was rather vague. Rather than cover all John Bray holiday homes it would have been better if the information was tailored to the specific property. All in all it is a wonderful holiday destination which we thoroughly enjoyed. If the above were looked at (particularly the postcode and where the property was within the complex) it would remove the few annoying niggles we had.

“Fabulous property design and layout.”

Location was as expected. But we were disappointed with the level of finish, no mirrors in the bedrooms or vanity surfaces, lighting in living area poor (no under cupboard lights or table lamps), no additional surfaces in bathrooms, cheap uncomfortable mattress on king bed (so much so we slept in twin room). The garden had not been tended, dead plants in pots and the outside furniture was old, mis matched and in poor condition, BBQ unusable. I noticed on the reviews some of these issues had been raised before but clearly not addressed. These may seem small points but make the difference between a good property and an excellent one with very little effort! On the upside your local agent did call to ask how we were getting on and I did mention the garden which they gave me an explanation for. I didn't mention the other points as they clearly could not be addressed in time for our stay.

“The house overall was great but a couple of points worth knowing and the owners considering: Listing says super king in the master but it was a double at most.”

We also found the bed really uncomfortable and the sheets were quite low quality. We ended up sleeping in the twin room which was slightly better but not great The linens were really cheap/average and would be nice to have something better quality No mirrors in the bedrooms Missing a couple of key bits for the kitchen eg extra chopping board, large glasses, teapot Overall a lovely place to stay

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lodge, it was worth every penny.”

Staying there was like home from home........ even to the extent it had the same cushions and coasters in the lounge area that we do! Our stay was extremely comfortable - the underfloor heating was great and the fully fitted kitchen made self catering a doddle. We think putting a TV in the main bedroom would be a good thing but It has a dishwasher (which is not listed). The two bathrooms are of good quality. During our stay we had to phone the agent to look at the TV which decided not to work and it was sorted efficiently. We enjoyed it so much we have booked again in June.

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.
