    “We have been staying as at Drifters now for many years and are due back for another two weeks in September.”

    Our constructive comments are as follows 1 The electrical circuit serving the power points in the main bedroom and the sun room above still keeps tripping. Luckily we know where the trip switch is and can sort it out but other guests may not be able to. Surely it is possible for a competent electrician to sort it out once and for all ? We wonder whether ithe proeprtry i has an up to date electrical test ? 2 The internet service provider was the worst we have ever known it and there were not many holiday makers in Rock to overload it. 3 The televisions are very old, particularly the one in the main living room and the picture is terrible. Please, it’s high time they were replaced. 4 Is it not possible please that Sky is connected? If the owners switched everything to Sky they would find that the ISP connection will be greatly improved. We have just moved house that’s exactly what we have done. 5 The pots and pans in the kitchen were new and very acceptable 6 The Visitors Information Book needs updating. I haven’t got chapter and verse for everything but Lewis’ Store closed at least three years ago and the butcher is now Philip Warren. 7 Would it be possible for two single arm chairs to replace one of the sofas in the living room? They are both very low and as we get older they are more and more difficult to get out of ! 8 the vacuum cleaner is past its sell by date. I:t is very heavy to lug up and down stairs and o[ne of our party damaged her shoulder moving it. I hope you find these comments constructive and that the owners can continue to invest in the house. We look forward to returning in September.

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.
