“It was a short stay for the family to celebrate birthdays.”

We had a great time visiting some places we haven't seen in 53 years !living in Cornwall. Rockways is a lovely place to stay. It was very clean, spacious and had lots of natural light. The beds were very comfy and the facilities provided everything we needed. Thank you.

“The bed are hard, not to our liking, I know others prefer a harder bed.”

The settees are OK the table and chair were very good. The ability to lift hot plates and pans etc over to the table from the worktop was very good as you didn’t need to carry hot food or drinks through doors.

“Lovely comfortable bungalow in a good location handy for beaches.”

It was let down by the overgrown front garden and driveway which made it look unloved. A welcome pack would also be useful, as we had no milk when we arrived, and one toilet roll for the week was not adequate.However, we had a lovely week, helped by the good weather and would book again.

- Madeleine, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear about the front garden – we haven’t been able to come down ourselves for a while, but we will contact the gardener and ask if the front garden can be cut back as soon as possible. We hope you enjoyed your stay. The owners. Property Owner

“We had a lovely holiday staying at Rockways.”

The place was very clean and tidy, had everything we needed. The only recommendation would be to try and secure the front garden!! Our dog got out a couple of times! maybe some comfy garden furniture would be a good idea especially in the back garden, other than those minor details we loved it and wished we could have stayed longer.. the Pityme pub around the corner was also an added bonus.

“We were very pleased with the cottage, great location, quiet, very clean throughout and the bedding.”

The kitchen was fully equipped. We loved the little extras too, salt and pepper, cooking oil etc. The 2 garden areas were peaceful. We were warned the garden might not be secure and she did get out in the RHS of the courtyard but otherwise it was. The only very minor criticism was that the garden could be tidied up a little bit but that didn’t affect our enjoyment at all. It was a great bungalow, do thank the owner. It was also very central for Padstow and Rock. We will hopefully go back to it one day!

“We have just returned from a weeks stay and have had a fabulous time.”

The property is ideally situated for Rock and Padstow (by the great ferry service) and the Pityme Inn and the surrounding areas. It is super well equipped and very comfortable. Our only concern was that our dog did manage a couple of escapes via the front garden hedge, but not withstanding that we would highly recommend this gem of a property

“This is the second time in 7 months we have stayed at Rockways.”

We loved it the first time and this time once again didn't disappoint. So many facilities and so much space. The thing that really impressed us was that in our initial reviews we commented on a few things that we felt could improve comfort for humans and safety for furbabies and these things have been addressed. We will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future. We love it.

- Michelle, April 2023

We are so pleased that you are continuing to enjoy Cornwall and Rockways as much as we do. We also really appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improvement. Many thanks. Property Owner

“This is an absolutely lovely bungalow, thank you for allowing others to enjoy it.”

.. we would certainly book again. Positives ...The 2 gardens have different perspectives which was beautiful. The dog loved trotting around both. (The Pityme pub, shop and restaurant are dog friendly and within very short walking distance). The seating in the living room was very comfortable, dining room table was nice and bedding was very good quality. Someone has previously commented about the hard beds and the mattress toppers certainly appear make a difference as we all slept well. Lots of kitchenware and games supplied if wanted. Downsides.... (please don't think these make for a troubled holiday) The seating area out of the gravel garden could do with updating and would be more comfortable if the seats were individual rather than a picnic bench set up. There are no seats at all in the lovely lawned garden which was really disappointing, this would have been really nice as this area is much bigger than the gravel garden. The bigger bedroom could do with a dressing table and chair, also a mirror as none of these are available. The only thing that we feel definitely needs addressing for dog owners is that there is an area at the back of the gravel garden near the utility room between the neighbour's front garden where an inquisitive dog could potentially get through, we just moved the 3 black bins across to stop our furbaby getting through which may not suffice for little dogs, that being said it wouldn't affect us booking again.

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so glad you enjoyed the property and your holiday. We have just started letting out Rockways and we really appreciate your suggestions - we will look to implement them over the next few months. Thank you, The owner Property Owner

“Beautiful home, well thought out we had a great holiday, slight downfall was the two main beds are hard, other than that amazing!”

The property

Rock 1.3 miles. Set in a residential area called Pityme in St. Minver Lowlands, near the coastal village of Rock in Cornwall, is this single-storey cottage, Rockways. This attractive house boasts garden views from the back and an enclosed lawn and front patio, a ground-floor living layout and flexible sleeping arrangements. Paces away from local amenities and within easy access to the coast, the cottage welcomes five guests, perfect for a family or a group of friends with one pet permitted. A relaxing self-catering Cornish getaway is expected by making Rockways your home-from-home, eased by off-road parking, a fully-equipped kitchen, plush carpets and interiors and inviting bedrooms, all within close proximity to a sleek bathroom. The house has a calm, restful and inviting feel which makes you feel at home while still offering modern conveniences in the kitchen and bathroom facilities. The open plan layout of this single-storey home makes it attractive for spending time with your family and friends. Cooking becomes a social activity here and on a sunny day, why not throw open the double doors and dine al fresco on the gravelled patio area? At the back of the house the lawned garden provides a perfect place for children and canine companions to run off any extra energy or simply for enjoying the wildlife and sunbathing. Unwind in the evening in front of the smart TV, planning for your following day of exploring and rest in the three bedrooms, offering space for all the family. This location means that Rockways is close to a number of beautiful beaches and villages. Venturing down the road into Rock village, be greeted by a selection of shops such as a local butchers, bakery and deli with restaurants and attractions to delve into further down by the beach. Enjoy a delicious lunch overlooking the Camel Estuary at The Rock Inn or opt for an invigorating round of golf at the famous St. Enodoc Golf Course, relax upon the sandy Rock beach or take a tour of the local art gallery, all these options are on your doorstep. Displaying idyllic scenes of the Cornish shoreline, hike down to Lundy Bay from its car park just outside Polzeath, ending with a paddle in the sea from its golden sands. Alternatively, if you're an avid walker, trail to The Rumps, offering stunning cliffside views of the sea and from Pentire Head, panoramic views of the Camel estuary. For an adventure-filled day out with the children, slide down the Giant Slip and Slide Cornwall, measuring at 360 feet long at nearby St. Endellion and then indulge at Trevathan Farm Shop just opposite. In the summertime be sure to partake in their 'Pick Your Own' strawberries as they are truly scrumptious. Further north lie Doyden Castle and the bay of National Trust-owned bay of Port Quin, the latter is fantastic for snorkeling. For anyone keen on a country house, try Pencarrow House & Garden near Wadebridge or Lanhydrock near Bodmin, both of which feature beautiful gardens and are accessible by car. Enjoy the Cornish coast by staying at Rockways.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
