“Cute holiday home, little old-fashioned but somewhere you can feel comfortable taking small children.”

The beds can be adjusted, which makes it useful for families. Sadly, the lady next door not happy with the noise of small children even though they were out of the garden by 6:30 pm. Otherwise, a good location for rock Beach, a nearby park, and small shops.

“This was our 3rd visit to Pencreek.”

As a 3 generational family it suits us all. A large garden for ball games, enough bathrooms and living area comfortable and not so smart you are afraid to use! Walking distance to beach, ferry and shops. Wonderful holiday house which we hope to visit again!

“This is our second visit to Pencreek and we were not disappointed.”

It is like home from home, very comfortable beds and furnishings not so smart that you feel nervous about using! The kitchen is very well equipped. An added bonus is the utility with shower and loo. The garden was large enough for cricket and football. We hope to come back!

“We had a great stay, thank you.”

The only issue was that we had no hot water on the morning we were leaving

- Peter, September 2024

“Returning to pencreek, yet again again, always so welcoming.”

simple simplicity to be homely, cosy, and comfortable for more than holiday needs. despite 25yrs of familiarity in rock (in various lets) this has been the best. being in the middle of rock makes for ease of access, shops for short term 'supplies', and to be out and about with plenty of old and new activities to be enjoyed in all cornish weathers! here's to the next time ...

- R J, October 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments, we are so pleased you enjoyed another visit to Pencreek. We look forward to welcoming you back next time. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner

Lovely property only downside is the sofas are awful to sit on the grass was to Long and the utility shower didn’t work but generally really nice

“We had a lovely stay in Pencreek.”

It had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the addition of extra duvets and blankets was great. The garden was private and sunny. Maintenance points: The toilet seat in the bathroom was loose. The tiles at the base of the handbasin and toilet in the wetroom were ingrained with dirt. We managed to remove some with a mop but they really need a good scrub! Suggestions :a corner shelf in the shower area of the wetroom would be useful for shampoo etc. There is really only comfortable seating for 3 in the living room. The largest sofa needs replacing as it is very uncomfortable. As there were only 4 of us we managed by putting seat cushions from the windowsill on it. The Henry style hoover was very hard work for us oldies to use! Overall it is a really nice home, well positioned and well equipped. We would definitely come back. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

- Helen, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that you have a lovely stay with us at Pencreek. Thank you for raising these issues we will get the maintenance and housekeeping teams to look at these and get them sorted. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Anthony September 2022

“Sykes did not reply to my last email question.”

Sykes did not inform me of work being carried out next door before I booked. Work was even done on the Sunday morning. Woken up at 1.00am by extremely loud music from neighbour. There were only three staying, so enough room. This place is not big enough for a party of eight - seating and cooking etc. Would not book through Sykes again.

- Anthony, September 2022

We are really sorry to hear that you havent had a reply to the email you have sent, we will follow this up internally. We are also looking into the building works you have mentioned, as we had not been aware any works would be taking place. We will contact you directly to discuss this further. – John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owners. Property Owner

I think the property could do with a bit of a over haul , some windows pains have blow and could do with replacing, also could do with frosted glass in bathrooms and in main bathroom the window position between the lounge and bathroom needs either a better blind or frosted glass , also the settee in the lounge could do with replacing a bit uncomfortable also a pizza tray would have been use full despite these few niggles the property was in an ideal location for us and we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back

- Nicolette, July 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are really glad you enjoyed your stay. We have asked our maintenance team to inspect the windows and we thank for your suggestions, we have passed them onto the owner of Pencreek. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Abhinav June 2022

“Had a great time at the property.”

It had everything one would need on a holiday. There is plenty of space for two families with four double bedrooms and two toilets. Outdoor space is great and the garden room had lots of small toys and beach stuff for kids. There is bbq as well if one wants to use. Location is great too with beach being 10-15 min walk and all local amenities nearby such as bakery, butchers, Spars and fuel pump etc.. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for convenience and comfort

- Abhinav, June 2022
Janet May 2022

“Very nice stay.”

Just a couple of points Needs new kettle. Hairdryer would have been useful. Maybe supply of linen and beds made would be good as arriving late was a bit of a nuisance with small children making up beds when tired after a long journey. Would still definitely stay again. Points made are just suggestions not complaints.

- Janet, May 2022
Michael May 2022

“We actually tried to discover something that the cottage hadn't got.”

Well done to the owners. The messages that are left around the cottage with information were unexpected but brilliant. I have already recommended the cottage to my brother, again well done to the owners .

- Michael, May 2022
Jessica April 2022

“The property was very spacious considering we had two families staying (4 adults, 4 kids and a baby).”

Lovely garden to play in and having two bathrooms was a bonus. There is a huge issue with ants in the kitchen (not just on the floor but on the worktops, climbing up and down cupboards/fridge/dish washer etc). Even when we first went to fill the kettle there were two floating inside it. Another let down was the fact that there's a message saying not to use wifi too much or there'll be an additional charge - in this day and age having wifi is an essential. All in all the property would have been perfect if it wasn't for the ants, which the kids kept pointing out!

- Jessica, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback it is great to hear you all enjoyed your stay. Thank you for bringing the ants and WIFI note to our attention we will make sure they are dealt with straight away. Property Owner

“Superb stay at Pencreek.”

..our third visit. Everything great! Would suggest that the smallest bedroom has new beds...perhaps the ones that slide under each other so that it can be a single room with more space if desired. The beds are a bit low for us oldies and the room isn't on a par with the others. Many thanks!

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.

Each Super King bed in bedrooms 3 and 4 can be made up as 2 single beds. If you require this, please call us to advise at least 7 days before arrival
