“You will probably say you can't do this because of Covid but there should be some way you can leave instructions on how the heating is set up and how to alter it if needed.”
You could have info/instructions on the wall next to the controls so you don't have to touch them. In the case of Belmont we only found how to work the sauna after 2 days, we found the red switch on the wall okay but the controls inside the sauna are right at ground level which you can't see by just looking in, you have to get on your hands and knees inside the sauna to read them. Once again a simple note on the wall next to the switch would be helpful.
Apart from that it was a lovely property and we would book through John Bray again.

The property
Belmont is a stylish, detached bungalow wonderfully situated in the heart of Rock village, amongst the village shops and services. Bright, airy and deceptively spacious, this contemporary-style property is well equipped and furnished and sleeping eight people in four bedrooms, two doubles with en-suite bathrooms and two twins, perfect for two families sharing, along with its large kitchen/diner and generous sitting room with double height ceilings. The pristine property boasts a professionally landscaped and sheltered, south facing gardens and parking for up to four cars. Living areas in Belmont are roomy, smart and generously furnished. Throw open the sliding glass doors in the kitchen/diner, increasing the light and space yet further, leading directly onto the terrace - a super place for appreciating the attractive well-planted garden and especially for outdoor entertaining on a warm evening. Warm up after a surfing session in the luxurious sauna, an unusual facility and a welcome treat. Stroll downhill to Rock and Porthilly beaches, as well as the sailing club and sailing and waterski schools for those searching for some fun out on the estuary. For golfers the renowned St Enodoc golf course is just behind the sand dunes which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; from the dunes one can take in the breathtaking views across the Camel Estuary, from Pentire Point to Padstow. For beach lovers, Daymer Bay is ideal for paddling and swimming, and the blue flag beach Polzeath caters to experienced surfers and children alike - with its numerous rock pools, surf schools, eateries and of course fabulous waves whether you ride a longboard or a bodyboard. A day away from the water can be spent on the Camel Trail which ends in the quaint town of Padstow, famed for its food - with both Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth restaurants. From here, jump aboard the foot ferry back to Rock and perhaps go on a ramble to St Enodoc Church, the resting place of Sir John Betjeman, or head out on a fishing trip from the pontoon and catch your supper.

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.
