Francesca

“The house is in a wonderful location and very comfortable.”

We would love to stay again. We did find that the crockery and cutlery was all a bit dirty and we had to wash everything before use. It may be that the dishwasher didn't work properly on an occasion. It is not something that overly bothered us though. Overall we had a fantastic week and were so fortunate with the weather!

“We've stayed at the property many times.”

All good apart from some minor attention needed. Shower holder in the main bathroom is starting to break up as the plastic is old and brittle. Cold water tap in same room needs fixing as the flow rate is v.v. small. Very happy overall, great holiday.

- Trevor, May 2024

Thanks for letting us know. Showerhead and taps have now been replaced' Sorry for any inconvenience Property Owner

“We had another lovely stay, unfortunately (and this is not the owners fault and out of his control) but the building work is still going on next door leading to noise from 6.”

45am in the morning, radios and angle grinders, cement mixers,so on the days other than the weekend and bank holiday we were deafened and unable to sit and enjoy the view in peace. Also next door had a few girls staying and they decided to stay up laughing and chatting until 5.50am, which meant no sleep, accompanied by the farm having a very noisy wedding. No quite as relaxing as other times we have stayed! I do not wish this to be published, just relayed to the owner!

“Photos do not do this place justice!”

Even better in person. We all said 'wow!' when we came through the kitchen and round to see the view out onto the sea from the back of the house. We loved our week here, despite bad weather it was a wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable and homely. We will be back! Thank you.

- Rosie, April 2024

“Perfect location for a family holiday with two teens and a dog.”

The views are outstanding across the bay and the local pubs and restaurants are within walking distance (2 minutes to the pub). Comfortable, homely and spacious- perfect for a beach holiday. Thank you.

Simon September 2023

“We have stayed at Little Strand a few times now and love it, having said that there was dog poo left from the previous holidaymakers dog (this was reported as we did not want the blame) and also the outside area, patio, was covered in sycamore leaves and had not been prepared for incoming guests (also a bit worrying if you have a dog like ours that is prone to eat leaves they are poisonous!”

Also the orange berry. The are was very untidy!

- Simon, September 2023

“Have stayed many times and love the house, location etc.”

Outside wooden terrace needs some attention and some rot is present and handrail lose.

- Trevor, May 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay and had the perfect base to explore the local area from. The handrail has been attended to. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“Very nice to be back.”

Curtains are too thin as let light in. Main bed very creaky! Shame so much building work nearby as started very early and so noisy.

Steve October 2022

“The cottage was really lovely with fantastic views, the website photos did not do it justice.”

The direct access to the beach was a real bonus. The bungalow was functional and comfortable, the views from the bedroom and lounge were really special. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hopefully will come back at a later date.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Little Strand and had the perfect base to explore the north Cornish coastline from! John Bray on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Sarah September 2022

“Everything was perfect except the weather!”

Only problem no cafetière (which I thought there was last time) so checked with agent and had to go to Wadebridge to buy one to add to our already large store!

- Sarah, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback, We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the property! Our apologies that a cafetiere was not available on this occasion for you. We hope we can welcome you back in the future! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Chris June 2022

“The property is delightful and we would like to go back next year if we can afford it.”

The price has gone up substantially since our previous stays! Service from Sykes was not good as has already been explained (wifi code and call back re problem to Surrey home instead of mobile).

- Chris, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed the property! We apologise that you had issues when getting in touch with us. Hopefully this did not impact your stay greatly and you still had a fantastic time! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Alex October 2021

“We loved staying at Little Strand.”

The house is really comfortable and careful consideration has been given to storage space for guests belongings in both the kitchen area and in the bedrooms. We couldn't fault it and loved the fact that it felt like and is a family home and not just a rental property. We took games/puzzles with us for rainy days and found a heap of games already in the cottage which will be a bonus for any future visits. It is certainly one of the nicest holiday houses we have ever rented and if we could take it at all over any school holiday periods we would jump at the chance. I shall be keeping an eye on the website for cancellations.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

From its idyllic location, Little Strand offers magnificent views of the Camel estuary and direct private access to Porthilly beach. A large south-facing deck overlooks the garden, which is arranged in terraces and steps. Sleeping 6 people in 3 bedrooms, the holiday house also welcomes one pet by arrangement, with parking space for 2-3 cars. Fresh and comfortable, Little Strand is the ideal spot in which to escape the working week and immerse yourself in Cornish life. Make the most of the spacious split–level terrace with its gorgeous scenery, an ideal spot for sundowners. On a cooler day, enjoy your meals in the dining room and still enjoy those amazing views. Meander through the garden down to Porthilly cove, a quiet, relatively undiscovered beach, that is great for walking the dog.North Cornwall is a picturesque and charming location to stay; perfect for water-sports enthusiasts, keen ramblers and lovers of the rugged Cornish coastline. Stroll to the nearby Blue Tomato cafe, the pubs and restaurants for convenient dining; keen cooks however, can find all they need in the village grocer, bakery, butcher, fishmonger and delicatessen. Check out Polzeath beach for great waves and buzzing surf culture and yet more choice of places to eat and shop.

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.
