“Our second year in this delightful cottage .”

We had a setback upon arrival with the cleanliness but John Bray responded promptly and ordered a special clean on Saturday morning. We have booked for 2024 . It is a 5* cottage.

“Our 2nd stay at this fabulous cottage.”

We had an electrical and plumbing issue at the start of our stay but these were dealt with very efficiently by Sykes/Brays. Overall a lovely comfortable and well equipped cottage but it would be great if there could be more seating in the living room as the sofas only seat 4 people and we had to bring in dining chairs for our teenage granddaughters and visitors. Looking forward to our stay in 2024!

- Jennifer, August 2023

Annette July 2023

“This was just an amazing property, perfect for our family of four and rated highly by our teenagers (which always makes for a happy holiday)!”

Perfectly equipped and comfortable and a pleasure to hide our in when the weather was adverse. If I had a question/concern, it would be that the bedroom windows didn't open in the room with twin beds and it got quite warm in there.

- Annette, July 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. Thank you for bringing the twin beds window issue to our attention, we have reported this internally to be rectified. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

A June 2023

“A lovely holiday cottage which we felt at home in and it was well equipped.”

Love the cottage backing onto the fields where we could watch the wildlife. Will definitely look to book again. Just one small point which was the front door was not very secure.

Richard April 2023

“Yes, we enjoyed our most recent stay.”

It suits our family requirements although we could use another bedroom. It is homely. We have returned to this house for several holidays. It is quiet and comfortable. The front door needs replacing - very drafty and insecure. But we keep coming back!!

- Richard, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to complete feedback from your recent stay. We are pleased to see you had an enjoyable time and that you find the property to be so homely. Thank you for letting us know about the front door - we can have this looked into. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner
John March 2023

“An excellent house and stay.”

Only minor comment would be info on how the heating works ie how to adjust the timer settings as it seemed to come on in the night. I couldn’t find any info on this Also how the waste bin collection works. Reading the John Bray info in the house implied that we had to ring for a collection otherwise we would be charged but that wasn’t the case when I called the office ( it was emptied on the Thursday ) Just points these are not complaints

- John, March 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are so glad you liked the property, we are in the process of getting information packs in properties to help guests with the appliances, we do hope we can welcome you back to North Cornwall soon. John Brays on Behalf of the Owners. Property Owner

Sean September 2022

“A lovely holiday home with everything you could need, set back from the main road with a lovely enclosed garden overlooking open countryside.”

Handy for the shops and local pub. You won't find any of grannies musty old chairs from the 1950's just a homely, professional, well furnished house with a lovely dine in kitchen. If I was being ultra picky I'd upgrade the TV to smart for those rainy Netflix days. Difficult to fault this house.

- Sean, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback on your stay with us, we are delighted that you had such an amazing time at Dolphin Cottage and are so happy you enjoyed the house. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owners. Property Owner

“Thank you for letting us stay at your fabulous Cottage.”

It certainly lived up to our expectations and more. Our granddaughters loved playing Boules in the garden. A well equipped accommodation and we really appreciated the supplied bedding and fluffy towels! Please could we have a firmer pillow on the beds? Looking forward to our stay next year.

Ana-maria October 2021

“Having previously stayed at Dolphin Cottage we were pleasantly surprised to find a new kitchen had been installed, however there is no longer a washer dryer available which we missed for our beach towels and jeans etc.”

A couple of small niggles (toilet seat not secured in family bathroom and blind stuck in twin room), quickly resolved by reporting to John Bray at the local office. The house suits our needs, comfy, well equipped and it's great having access to the garage to store our bicycles and surf gear. Will definitely stay here in the future.

- Ana-maria, October 2021

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Dolphin Cottage and had the perfect base to explore the local area and take advantage of the beaches. We will investigate the comments that you have raised with the owner and would love to welcome you back in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Juliet October 2021

“Cleaning was a bit hit and miss.”

Lots of spiders and a contact lens on the floor in main bedroom. Fridge was a not that clean. Just a bit more important during Covid . Lovely house though and a great stay. some possible improvements...the toilet seat in the family bathroom kept coming loose, a bit hazardous for late night toilet visits ! Also maybe consider some better mattresses on the double and twin beds . They are a bit tired and thin. Also on arrival the key code we had been given was wrong . The out of hours service soon solved this, we drove down to the Rock office and called the number on the door. The online number we called initially cut us off. Overall it was a good stay in a lovely house.

- Juliet, October 2021

Thank you for your comments. We will investigate these with the owner. We hope you enjoyed your stay regardless of these and would love to welcome you back in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Yvette September 2021

“We had a lovely holiday and the home was beautiful.”

The only thing I would like to mention is that I was not aware that an extra £200 was being taken as an additional deposit. This has now been returned. It was just a surprise on my statement. Thank you

- Yvette, September 2021

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. Regarding the £200 damage deposit, we apologise that this was not communicated to you accurately but are happy that everything has been resolved now. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

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.
