. The house was extremely in need of a deep clean internal & external . Inside : cobwebs everywhere . Lounge smelt incredibly musty . Paintwork / skirting boards / behind furniture were all filthy . Towels were like sandpaper . Very tatty & need replacing . Dirty shower curtain downstairs .,mats were all grubby / stained . No windows had been cleaned externally / internally for months . External : all paintwork / windows need cleaning . Garden borders very scruffy / overgrown . Lawn uncut & appalling condition. Garden furniture ( sofa) & table broken , all cushions badly soiled . BBQ covered in mould . Took us 2 hours to clean . Entrance gate tatty & broken . Tatty plastic flowers fallen over at entrance need removing . Annexe needed a good hoover . More cobwebs & smelt very musty . I did complain all this to JB holidays , a gardener was sent to cut the lawn & reseed . I don’t feel the management Co look after the property whatsoever . Big shame . There is no contact no at all online to contact Sykes Cottages regarding anything . Only the fact that, JB holidays have an office close by , I was able to call in . Poor service all round . During my stay , I was forced to purchase room sprays , wash 2 mats , clean patio windows , clean bbq 2 hours , provide more toilet rolls ( only 3 left for 8 guests !) bought more bath / tea towels . I was supposed to be on holiday !

“The shower curtain in the annexe was very dirty.”

Pictures and mirrors left popped against walls in bedrooms. Some areas could do with updating. To many personal items belonging to the owner. Particularly photos.

“We rented Sandy Lodge for my husband’s birthday with some friends.”

It was very comfortable with plenty of cooking equipment, lovely beds and very cosy. We have a caravan nearby in the summer so we know the area well and it was just what we needed. We took logs down for the fire but the house was so warm we didn’t use it and mainly stayed in the kitchen. The garden was lovely and I expect in the summer would be a great asset and the cottage is in a good position. Altogether it was a very homely atmosphere and everyone really loved the house. Thank you.

“The best thing about this property is the location, which is wonderful and so convenient for everything in Rock.”

It is our second year here but sadly my description last year as “shabby chic” would now have to be more shabby than chic. The property was definitely cleaner than last year and didn’t smell so musty when we arrived but the garden cushions were still very stained and despite lots of fresh air during our stay, the smell was definitely back in the downstairs bedrooms & lounge after a couple of days. We didn’t open the room above the garage this year but last year the smell was so strong in there we decided no one would want to sleep there. We were impressed by John Bray getting maintenance out the same day we reported a broken blind in the bathroom & a locked window in a bedroom that we couldn’t open. We also couldn’t get an internet connection but by the time maintenance had arrived, my husband had realised a key plug was pulled out- it’s probably the cleaner because it’s the most accessible plug for the hoover to reach everywhere downstairs & we remembered that the same thing happened last year.

Thank you for your feedback, The issues raised have been noted and I am pleased the maintenance team were able to fix the problems reported. I hope we can welcome you back in the near future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner

“There was a lot we loved about this property!”

Location and size of the property was perfect- outdoor space was great! Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. But- it was rather cluttered- lots of personal nick nacks and photos- there was stuff everywhere! This detracted from the beauty of the property. There were also cob webs everywhere!! It must be impossible to clean with so much stuff everywhere. I think more information is needed re hot water- we struggled for the first 2 days and even when we boosted it on the timer it meant the showers were hot but the bath was only ever Luke warm- this would not be ideal for a family with younger children. The dishwasher looks like it has seen better days- though worked well- The sofas in the lounge at the back/by the kitchen are extremely worn, marked and not very comfortable. If the weather has been better we would happily have sat outside on the lovely garden furniture but this was not to be! The carpets and rugs are marked in places too. The door to the downstairs small double was off its hinge - almost- it meant the door had to stay open and my elderly mum had to walk around it- but not much room to do this! I emailed Sykes on day one to flag this up but did say it wasn’t an urgent matter- I received no reply so not sure if it will be dealt with before the next occupants. Overall we had a lovely stay but the house needs some attention- we have stayed in quite a few Sykes properties and this is the first time I’ve ever given mixed feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the property. We are pleased to hear there was a lot to love about it but disappointed that some aspects were not to the standards expected. We will raise these with the maintenance team and the owners. 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.

The property

Sandy Lodge is a comfortable 5 bedroom holiday house, located in Rock on the beautiful Camel estuary in North Cornwall.

Situated on a quiet, private street with shops less than 300 yards away (bakery, coffee shop, butchers, fishmonger, delicatessen and newsagent), the property sleeps 10 guests across the main house and annexe and is within a short walk of Rock Sailing Club, the St Enodoc Golf Course and the beautiful beaches of Porthilly, Rock and Daymer Bay.

With a gated drive and parking for 3/4 cars, a private garden with a patio area.

The property welcomes 2 dogs by arrangement. The ground floor of the main house comprises of; a separate sitting room with a cosy wood burning stove providing a calm space for adults who want to relax in peace after a busy day out and about, a delightful kitchen diner with access out onto the patio, perfect for some alfresco dining.

The kitchen diner area includes a second lounge/snug area; a great extra space for children or teenagers to watch movies or read books.

A king bedroom, smaller double bedroom and a family bathroom are set on the ground floor alongside a utility/drying room; perfect for hanging up damp wetsuits, sailing kit and towels.

Upstairs within the main house, there are two further bedrooms that share a bathroom.

An additional double bedroom is above the garage with a bathroom ensuite and juliet balcony.

With TV/DVD players in both the lounge and kitchen diner and a separate TV in the first floor master bedroom, this is a fantastic family retreat.Sandy Lodge is one of those properties that is geared up for either families or a group of couples and its location means you can really enjoy everything the North coast has to offer.

Dogs will love exploring the public bridleways and coastal footpaths that pass by the house, most of which find their way to either Porthilly Beach or the beautiful Daymer Bay.

At Rock you can try sailing, paddle-boarding or waterskiing, or you can catch the ferry over to Padstow to discover this historic fishing harbour and the delights of Rick Stein's fish and chips.

With Polzeath beach just up the road, the group can try their hand at surfing or boogie boarding.

For the perfect beach day, pack a picnic and head to sheltered Daymer Bay to swim and snorkel in its protected clear waters and indulge in some serious rock-pooling and sandcastle building.

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.
