“The location of the cottage is perfect.”

The views are amazing. The disappointment was the dirty state of the cottage, such that on arrival I spent 2 hours cleaning floors, removing thick layers of hair, grease and dirt. It looked like the cottage had not been cleaned for several weeks. Crisps packets and sweet wrappers left on the porch bench. The next disappointment was the inadequate response from John Bray office. Their office was closed over the weekend so there was no help to resolve issues. The cottage only has 1mB broadband ...

The views are amazing. The disappointment was the dirty state of the cottage, such that on arrival I spent 2 hours cleaning floors, removing thick layers of hair, grease and dirt. It looked like the cottage had not been cleaned for several weeks. Crisps packets and sweet wrappers left on the porch bench. The next disappointment was the inadequate response from John Bray office. Their office was closed over the weekend so there was no help to resolve issues. The cottage only has 1mB broadband so I was unable to send photos to the John Bray office to show the problems. Having sent John Bray office the photos on our return home nearly 10 days ago I still have not had a response. The problems we had were avoidable, and hopefully having reported them future guests will not have the same problem. If the management company ensure the property is clean and ready for use, then you will have a wonderful holiday.

Thank you for your feedback and comments. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these cleanliness issues but thank you for your effort in attempting to send us the photos, we only wish that you did not spend your valuable time on holiday doing so. Your comments are being investigated by the team at John Bray Cornish Holidays and a member of the team shall be in touch. We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues and would love to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

“Great location for a family break.”

Beautiful sunrises and sunsets along with lots of activities to get involved in using Camel Ski and Wavehunters. Highly recommend trying wake boarding and kayaking and the sea safari was incredible! The bungalow itself is very ‘tired’. Decor is dated and it really does need some TLC. It’s surface clean but is really quite dirty and dusty behind anything and there’s a lot of ornaments and artificial flowers which are dust catchers and not attended to. The kitchen is really well stocked with a Nespresso coffee machine, a dishwasher, washer/dryer and a nice big fridge freezer. The house has enough beds for 9 guests but only has enough seating for 6 around the dining table and only 4 on the comfy seats in the living space so I’m not sure how it would work with full capacity use? The front area is fabulous! Great for sitting watching the world go by. Cannot stress enough that this property is all about the location and not about lavish interiors. If, like us, you plan on going out and about it’s a great base.

Thank you so much for taking the time to send in your comments, we are delighted that you had a wonderful time. We will passed on your comments about the interior to the owners of the property. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“This house has the best view in Rock!”

Super convenient, and the glassed-in veranda and outside seating areas cover all weather eventualities for happy relaxing. Appreciated the well-equipped kitchen: plenty of pots, pans and utensils, and enough crockery and cutlery so the dishwasher didn't have to be run constantly.

- Anita, October 2021

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Cockle Shell. Our location is definitely one of the things we are very proud of about. We would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owners Property Owner

“Fantastic location and outlook across the Camel estuary.”

Close to all the best pubs, bars and cafes. A well equipped kitchen. It would benefit from having a downstairs shower.

- Richard, September 2021

Thank you for your positive feedback. Our location is definitely one of the things we are very proud of. We will forward your comment on regarding a shower onto the owners. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“We last stayed at this property over 10 years ago and nothing has changed .”

The bathroom downstairs is horrendous , the toilet doesn’t flush properly , the door barely opens and there is no shower . The upstairs shower runs at a trickle only and if you are not careful gives you first degree burns - and it is virtually impossible to shower properly .The property was not left clean . The sofa is the same as last time and desperately needs replacing . On a positive note the beds are comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the view is to die for . This compensates somewhat for the shortfalls .

“We had a smashing week at Cocklebar in Rock last week and, apart from the first Saturday, we had good, Autumn weather.”

We did some walking and visited places in the near locality that some of our number remembered from childhood holidays during the war! The property served our purposes very well and when we had a minor difficulty John Bray(and especially Jess who was our contact) were very prompt in settling the matter. Thank you for your help in making our holiday a good one.

“We had a truly special holiday in Cocklebar, helped in part by the fabulous weather we had.”

We loved the location of the cottage and often sat watching the estuary from the conservatory - the view really was outstanding. The location was perfect for going down to the beach or for getting the ferry across to Padstow. The Blue Tomato next door was great for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the service there was really friendly. Our daughter really enjoyed crabbing off the rocks just in front of the cottage and was delighted when she caught 12 crabs and a fish one evening. We would love to stay at Cocklebar again next summer and hope that the owners will be letting again.

“Hi John Bray Team We had a wonderful week, thank you.”

We did do the walk to the Rest a While Tea Garden, I can honestly say the best crab sandwich I have ever had. We are already looking forward to next year.

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.

*Building Works* Cocklebar is located directly next to a construction project during 2022. There may be noise and dust from these works during normal working hours.
