“Really lovely cottage and setting.”

Loads of room for our one year old to play both inside and out. Lovely chip shop and local shop at the top of the road. Lovely place to stay. Only thing we could fault slightly was the cleanliness and lack of attention to detail in some areas, and as others have mentioned the tv was a little small. Otherwise, a good cottage for a family holiday.

“Old Kea Cottage is in a lovely area and is close to some lovely bays/beaches.”

It is a good size and has pretty much everything you need. Padstow is only half an hour drive away. The chippy/bakery, a short walk away, have some fantastic food. It was a pity there was no WiFi at the property as we had hoped to do some work. Other than that we couldn’t fault it. Would definitely stay there again!!

“The cottage was an good location for a quiet holiday with a well stocked shop and excellent bakery within walking distance.”

The hot water failed on the second day but an engineer arrived within a few hours of the call to Sykes to repair it.

Geoffrey September 2023

“Fantastic location and Cottage one mile from Rock beach and ferry to Padstow.”

Property is spacious, warm, great conservatory. Well fitted kitchen with every appliance. Lovely garden. Extremely quiet at bottom of private drive. Lovely walks immediately outside Cottage. Fish and chips and local shop five mins walk and garage and cashpoint 2 min drive. The cottage and location could not be better. Beaches, ENG Heritage. Tintagel etc etc easy access. There is nothing to whinge about. Ignore the fact that there is no WiFi, the signal on your phone is good. Comments about the small tv should be ignored. It is, but so what. Only advisory is the lack of hair drier and the oven was in need of a bit of tlc.

Stacie September 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Old Kea Cottage.”

The cottage is in a really great location down a quiet lane with a shop and chip shop at the end. The cottage is a lovely size and the new bathroom was a real bonus. The garden was beautiful and we had been warned about the builders in the house at the end of garden, but we really didn't notice them. The only downside was the tv in the living room is super small. Small to the point that it actually hurts your eyes if you're sitting on the sofa. The living room is a decent size, so for the size of the room, it definitely needs to be bigger to make relaxing in the evening more enjoyable. All in all, we had a really great stay.

- Stacie, September 2023

Thank you for you lovely comments, we will look into the issue with the TV. We hope to welcome you back in the near future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner
Jillian September 2023

“The washing machine washes ok, but is extremely noisy when on spin.”

The sun room was delightful and we spent a lot of time sitting in there - very relaxing. The property would benefit from a larger television screen.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Old Kea Cottage. We do hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Ally July 2023

“Old kea cottage was lovely.”

Really clean and comfortable. Just a shame the builders started up at 8am every morning otherwise it would have also been super peaceful Only few issues that could be easily rectified… The lack of wifi I am surprised at as it isn’t expensive at all to provide and the TV was tiny. Too small to watch really. We still had a lovely stay

Alice June 2023

“Really lovely cottage in such a great setting.”

Brilliant living space and cosy bedrooms with great mattresses in the main bedroom. The only downside for us were the builders in the garden. We couldn't sleep with the windows open due to the noise in the mornings and equally weren't able to sit outside in the afternoon. Most of the noise was bearable other than some sort of grinder noise which went right through us. Some fans in the cottage would be really appreciated for warm nights.

- Alice, June 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased enjoyed Old Kea Cottage. The building work next door is unfortunate but sadly out of our control, we hope this didn't disturb too much and we look forward to welcoming you back very soon John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner
Susanna October 2022

“The cottage was more than we had anticipated.”

The conservatory makes a great place to play and dine with the windows letting in the autumn light. Quiet and peaceful location, undisturbed and with parking and local amenities close. Fish and chips shop up the Lane of gourmet standard (no kidding) We enjoyed the log burner in the evenings to relax to and the children watched the tv in the sitting room. Beams and modern facilities, dish washer, washing machine all made for an updated but still quintessentially Cornish experience …. Bakery and Spa on the doorstep, but my daughter also enjoyed a different Spa experience, a birthday massage at Balance (5 minutes walk away) Pity Me Inn was good and within walking distance. Rock and Polzeath both great beaches for the kids to run off and play.

- Susanna, October 2022

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Old Kea Cottage and had the perfect base to explore the north Cornish coastline from! We hope to invite you back to North Cornwall very soon. John Bray on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Adrian September 2022

“Our first time at Old Kea Cottage, very quiet and peaceful, just what we were looking for.”

Loved the conservatory, spent a lot of time reading in there during the odd rainy days . Been coming to Rock on holiday for over 20 years with various dogs, this was the first time without our lovable pets as the last of them passed 2 years ago, felt strange without them! We visited all our usual haunts, a bit surprised to see the amount of building work ongoing in the village, but that's progress I suppose. Did report to the John Bray office the fact the bottom compartment of the cooker did not operate, it did not affect us that much as there was only the 2 of us. 1 comment a larger freezer compartment in the fridge would be useful. Regards.

- Adrian, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had the chance to make the most of the local amenities! We appreciate you bringing the issue of the broken cooker to our attention. This will be investigated by our maintenance team, promptly. John Bray on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Allan August 2022

“Cottage was great for the first 3 nights, but from the 4th night onwards we were woken up by what sounded like heavy footsteps, banging and furniture being dragged in the cottage.”

We checked the whole property but could not understand where the sounds were coming from. This only happened in the early hours and not in the day, and by the Friday we decided not to stay the final night because of this, cutting our holiday short.

- Allan, August 2022

We were so sorry your holiday was disturbed. This is a semidetached old cottage and the noise you heard was almost certainly our lovely neighbour who very occasionally has to rise early to travel. He opens the sash window to let his cat in. Sorry again for your disturbance. Property Owner
Chris April 2022

“Another lovely stay at this cottage.”

We have had a great week and enjoyed the peace and quiet at this property and in its garden. Walks and visits in the local surroundings good too. The new bathroom is beautiful. Thank you for letting us stay hope to return.

- Chris, April 2022

We are delighted that you had another wonderful stay. Thank you for this feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

“We have stayed at this cottage many times over the years.”

It’s secluded position and local amenities make it the ideal cottage for stays outer season, summer would be a good time to go as old kea has a lovely garden. Great place to stay

Plenty of walks to the many bays and to the ferry to Padstow.

The property

Please note there is a house being built in the cul-de-sac behind Old Kea Cottage - this is in a corner plot which is adjacent to the rear garden of the cottage. Old Kea Cottage is an endearing character holiday cottage retaining many original features. Adjoining open countryside and located and accessed via a quiet lane on the very edge of Rock village, Old Kea is an ideal hideaway for a small family of 4 looking for a peaceful retreat. Only a gentle stroll to the many shops in the village and a short drive to the beautiful beaches, golf courses and coastal footpaths that surround Rock on the North Cornwall coast. With a large sunny conservatory and a mature and secluded garden this self catering holiday house also has the benefit of a cosy open fire for those cooler evenings. The unspoilt countryside views from the cottage are a charming contrast to the wilder Atlantic Ocean only minutes away. The cottage has a classic slate roof and pretty sash windows and the large family conservatory opens out onto the sunny and mature garden. There are 3 bedrooms, one double and two singles with a useful shower room downstairs and a bathroom upstairs. The kitchen/diner has everything you need to prepare family meals, with options to eat in there or in the light filled conservatory or even to roll out a picnic blanket to make the most of the garden.Guests can meet all their everyday shopping requirements within easy walking distance and also join some of the many footpaths directly from the cottage. The wide sandy beaches are a very short drive down the road from the cottage and are perfect for families. On a low tide its possible to stroll down the beach alongside the sand dunes and around the front of Brea hill right onto Daymer Bay. When the tide rolls in from the mouth of the estuary the many footpaths that skirt the famous St Enodoc Golf course can guide you safely back to Rock without getting your feet wet! Refreshments can be found in the car park at Daymer at the beach shop/cafe before you head back through the dunes. Accommodation: Kitchen/Diner Sitting Room Shower Room/W.C. Large family Conservatory Bedroom 1: Kingsize Bed Bedroom 2: Single Bed Bedroom 3: Single Bed Bathroom/W.C./Shower Sorry No Pets.

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.
