“The cottage is well placed for walking to the beach and cafes etc.”

There is quite a lot of road traffic very early in the morning going to the Oyster farm. Bedding and towels are extra. Could do with clear glass in the door to the yard, to make it less oppressive on dull days.

“Lovely cottage - well equipped, clean, well situated, nicely decorated, comfy beds, quiet location, good parking.”

We chose it becaue there was an accesible, downstairs bedroom which suited an elderly grandparent. Bit of a pain bringing and fitting our own bed linen, but I guess this keeps the cost down? It even had a few extras which were not listed - an outside shed for storing wet beach gear with a tumble drier there. Also a cafetiere and hair-dryer (John Bray told me these were not at the property so we had to bring our own, unecessarily). We discovered the shower head fixing was broken but John Bray got it fixed straight away (on the Saturday). Having only one stand-up shower was OK for us as a group of 3, but if 6 were staying, then there might be a bit of a queue in the morning, or after a day at the beach! I suppose children would be happy to use the upstairs bath and hand shower. Overall, I would recommend the place.

“We really enjoyed our stay at St Michaels.”

Loved the location, and the property was comfortable and cozy. Very close to Rock and just a few minutes from Porthilly beach too. Added bonus of a couple of electric car charging points just up the road which was a real plus being an EV driver. We will certainly return.

“The cottage at St Michaels is in a good location.”

The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. There is a washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer which were all useful. We had some problems with the keysafe but these were resolved quickly and the staff at John Bray were both friendly and helpful. Only negatives: We were aware that we had to bring our own linen and towels but I personally think this should never be the case nowadays. The cottage was not as clean as we would have hoped- kitchen and bathrooms were clean but around the house things were a bit grubby.

“There were a couple of snaggy issues that we let the John Bray office know about and someone came to fix them the next morning.”

This was very reassuring that problems are taken seriously and resolved.

St Michaels is a charming slate hung holiday cottage set half way down Porthilly Lane within a short stroll of the peaceful Porthilly beach. It offers off road parking for two vehicles and a sunny enclosed sheltered courtyard perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea. This pleasant coastal retreat can sleep 6 guests in three bedrooms, with one of the bedrooms located on the ground floor alongside a shower room. Porthilly is ideally situated being adjacent to the thriving holiday destination of Rock, with all the water sport activities it offers.The ground floor bedroom has twin beds, there are two first floor bedrooms; one with bunk beds and the other has a spacious king size bed plus the family bathroom. This coastal cottage oozes character with its low beamed ceilings, shallow doorways and thick walls. The sitting room is comfortably furnished to relax in after a long day in the exhilarating Cornish air, and in the winter months; snuggle in the warmth of the multi fuel burning stove. The gentle amble down to the pretty little cove at Porthilly is wonderful for birdlife, you can see the oyster beds and buy them direct from the farm down by the beautiful St Michaels church.If the gentle pace of life down at Porthilly is not enough for the more adventurous members of your party you can check out the surfing and coasteering at nearby Polzeath or have a go at kitesurfing or windsurfing at the glorious Daymer Bay. Simply stroll around to Rock at low tide from Porthilly and take the delightful ferry journey to the busy fishing port of Padstow to satisfy the foodies with all its restaurants and delicatessens.

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.
