“Conifers disappoints on arrival and the pictures on website make the property look nicer than it is… this property is more expensive than Harewood that we took last year through John Bray but lacks the charm and atmosphere which could be improved quite easily.”

Windows filthy inside and out (photo) Lots of rotten windows that do not open - bathroom window does not open so musty when you arrive and rotten wood and the kitchen window latch is broken Pile of back bags dumped rubbish just by boundary wall of property at the back - first thing you see when you arrive (photo included) Grotty views at back to portacabin in field and dumped rubbish Dumped rubbish on drive just as you turn in to property Lighting no atmosphere- no table lights or dimmers - ...

Windows filthy inside and out (photo) Lots of rotten windows that do not open - bathroom window does not open so musty when you arrive and rotten wood and the kitchen window latch is broken Pile of back bags dumped rubbish just by boundary wall of property at the back - first thing you see when you arrive (photo included) Grotty views at back to portacabin in field and dumped rubbish Dumped rubbish on drive just as you turn in to property Lighting no atmosphere- no table lights or dimmers - bright and stark. We needed to bring the bedside lights downstairs to make the living room feel cosier No wood - this is mean I would supply for one fire - also no matches or lighter Bathroom with bath the shower tray in wall is rusty and wonky/ should be replaced (photo) Light bulb gone in kitchen on arrival like that Light bulb in hall gone too No washing line or helpful outside rail to help with drying wetsuits - easy to add and would help enable less water coming into the house with damp wetsuits Property should fit 8 but only 6 chairs fit around the table!! No maps, books - an ordnance survey map of the areas would be helpful Broken and chipped glass on arrival in cupboard (photo) - this should have been removed before the we arrived Garden could be improved with 5ft being taken off the hedges to let more light in - the fact the front and side is so overgrown means you lose more light Good things about Conifers Hot water Good exterior shower We were very impressed with our stay in Port Issac last year and to be paying more for a property that has no style or character and does not compare to the last one we rented for less money is a disappointment. I am being honest but suggest you drop the rental price or get the owner to put some love into Conifers. This feedback is meant to be constructive for future lettings I emailed photos as was not able to insert them to the info@sykescottages address

“Property was not cleaned on arrival.”

Spent 5 hours cleaning it. Was provided with clean linen which was something but still had to make all the beds. An emergency cleaner was sent the next day but she was not familiar with the property and said she found it hard to clean around our belongings. The fridge didn’t work at all which we only discovered towards the end of our stay as all our food went off. Was provided with a bottle of Prosecco as an apology but expected compensation in the form of a monetary refund as the experience really ruined the trip.

“We thought Conifers was lovely.”

The owners have obviously invested money in the soft furnishings which made the property very comfortable. We found it frustrating that certain windows didn’t open especially in the bathrooms. Noted the front windows have been replaced, property would certainly benefit if all the other windows were replaced. Glass coffee table in the snug area not suitable for young children - I would suggest removing it as it’s not needed and blocks the access to the French windows. Maintenance - garden brambles and roses need cutting back in the garden, balcony and windows need a good clean. Despite these little issues we would certainly visit again - good family sized comfortable accommodation,

“Overall we were very pleased with our stay at Conifers, St Minver.”

The weather was glorious which always helps! A couple of minor observations: It is possibly the door lock, but the back door key (from the key safe) is extremely temperamental...unable to enter the property on many occasions subsequently had to use the front door. Window does not open in the ensuite bathroom... lounge window (near the rear fireplace) will not stay open......

“We had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed Conifers.”

However, the following may help future guests: outside "Conifers" sign, great difficulty identifying property on arrival; no cloths line to hang out wet clothing; Henry hoover bag totally full and no spare, messy job trying to empty bag to enable Henry to work, horrible; screen in master bedroom inadequate and difficult, requires curtains or blinds; no garden furniture for eating outside and bar-b-que's in garage unfit to use. Would stress, though, that Conifers is otherwise an excellent property and subject to resolving above we would be happy to rebook.

Local beaches and the village shops are just a few minutes drive away; nip over the road to the pub. Join the footpath adjacent to the property to walk across the golf course and downhill to Polzeath beach.With the contrast of its traditional exterior and contemporary interior, Conifers offers plenty of character and comfort. Cook up a storm in the snazzy kitchen with its sleek cupboards and slate floor. Chill out in the living areas with its deep sofas and cushions. Gaze out onto the countryside from the balcony of the master bedroom which also has its own dressing area. An unusually spacious family bathroom adds to the feeling of luxury and attention to detail.A holiday in Rock gives you the chance to explore so many of the different aspects of North Cornwall. From the more tranquil pursuits such as fishing, walking on the coastal path and golf, to adrenaline pumping activities such as windsurfing, sailing, water skiing as well as surfing and swimming; there is something for everyone, whatever your age or interest. But more important than that, there is the sheer beauty of the scenery; the coastline, ocean, sandy beaches and pretty villages combine to give breathtaking vistas that surprise and delight and explains why holiday makers fall in love with this place and return year after year.Accommodation: Shower Kitchen Sitting Room/Dining Room Separate W/C Bedroom 1: Double Bed (4ft6") Bedroom 2: Bunk Beds (3ft each) Bedroom 3 King Size Bed (5ft) Bedroom 4: Double Bed (4ft6") Bed with ensuite Shower/W.C & Balcony Family Bathroom Pets welcome by arrangement.

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.

Please remember to bring your own beach towels with you, as these are not supplied.
