“We had a fantastic visit at Sandy Hills, the house was immaculate, bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless.”

The house is brilliantly equipt with all the things you would need for families away. The house is really spacious and has a lovely feel.

The house is brilliantly equipt with all the things you would need for families away. The house is really spacious and has a lovely feel. The location is stunning. Once you find the little footpath, its a 5 minute walk to the beach and all the amenities down on the front in rock. At the end of the driveway there is a brilliant little deli that do the most delicious pastries (even on a Sunday). We had a fantastic time.

“Th property was well equipped but the comfort and cleanliness was not up to standard.”

The high ceilings in the lounge area were full of cobwebs, it really wouldn’t take much to go round with a long feather duster and clear them. The sofas were incredibly uncomfortable and the covers/cushions could do with a wash. The rug in the lounge was also quite stained and the floors had not been cleaned very well. There was also an issue with the towels, I had to try several before I found one I could use that didn’t smell fusty when it got wet. It’s a shame there were these issues as the property could be 5 star with just a little more care and attention. The location is great and the facilities were good, just not maintained very well.

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay! We're very sorry that you had to experience these issues upon your arrival. We will make sure your comments are passed onto the caretaking team. Due to the exceptional circumstances caused by the COVID pandemic it placed extra pressures on the various cleaning teams. We have a set caretaker for the property this year and will make sure all issues are addressed. We hope to welcome you back in the future so we can see that they have acted on your comments. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“We have stayed in lots of different self catered places and would rate this as one of the nicest and best located.”

The place was very clean, modern, had everything we need to feel relaxed and was an easy walk to all the beautiful sites we wanted to see. Communication was great too. We would highly recommend this wonderful house. Sam & Heather Palfrey.

“The location was perfect, nicely tucked away off the main Rock road, in a quiet and peaceful area.”

The property was very clean and well presented - large and spacious, but also cosy and warm too. The instructions in the property were clear to understand and we had no difficulties in using any of the facilities and amenities. The photos on the website really do the place justice and the woodburner was just what we needed to warm us up after long days exploring the beautiful beaches and long walks. We highly recommend this property and are already booked in for our next visit next year! Thank you John Bray !

“Arrived at the property around 17.”

30 we found the outside decking area was overgrown and in poor condition,a lack of maintenance and upkeep. Inside the house was dusty and cobwebs in the bathroom, a lack of cleanliness was not expected when most rental companies advertise the fact that extra cleaning is taking place within the properties for covid situation, upon phoning John bray a lack of concern was shown by the staff member , it was agreed I would phone on the Tuesday again to let you know if we could allow the housekeeper to visit again, but we were told we would have to vacate the property whilst this takes place, as we had cleaned the property ourselves on the day of arrival we didn’t feel we ought to be inconvenienced again, I tried phoning the office and was put on hold for considerable time and then just cut off! I then emailed to show our displeasure with the response and the poor condition of the property, only to have an email from another JB employee asking if the issues were now resolved! So overall we feel John bray didn’t provide a solution and also was of no concern to the them either. Other aspects worth mentioning were the lounge furniture being very tired and uncomfortable to sit on, the wood floor was terribly creaky to the point of requiring attention. I now trust that you will take this complaint seriously, we have stayed in many holiday properties over the years and never felt the need to complain before, we are not serial complainers but we would hope when hiring properties they will be cleaned effectively and of course be maintained to a reasonable standard and on this occasion it was clear this wasn’t the case. In fact on the first time I contacted Jb on the Monday I was told that there was four properties that were to be cleaned that day! As though this was some kind of excuse for the lack of cleaning. I will look forward to your response before deciding whether to leave a review of our experience on a relevant review site. As you can see we are very disappointed with our experience of John Bray and number 16, 7 Sandy hills.

- Margaret, September 2021

Thank you so much for your comments. We will investigate these issues with the caretaking and maintenance team. Our deepest apologies with your difficulties in contacting and communicating with us in the office, the recent takeover from Sykes has made communication channels difficult at times. We hope we can welcome you back in the future to the lovely North Cornwall. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“The house when we arrived was not clean.”

The kitchen units were covered in marks and finger prints and food stuff. The kitchen floor was filthy. There were huge cobwebs hanging over the cooker and when we complained a cleaner was sent who just cleared a few of the cobwebs not all that were clearly visible and wiped the kitchen units but didn't touch the floor. The floor under the sofa was also filthy with bits of food and large clogs of dust etc under them. The sofas themselves were not that clean everything looked tired and needing attention. I have booked with John Bray for several years but will be looking elsewhere for my visit to Rock next year.

- Michelle, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the property had not been cleaned to our normal standard, we will make sure this is passed onto the caretaking team. Due to the exceptional circumstances caused by COVID our cleaning teams were stretched last year. This year, the property has a set caretaker that has just carried out the spring clean where all issues raised have been addressed. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

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.
