What our customers say about their holidays

• Robert - Verified booking

  Pentire is a beautiful, spacious and modern property.

  The bedrooms and kitchen/ dining area was a decent size for 6 adults. Please note that only 5 adults can sit comfortably on the sofa. The house was well-equipped with cutlery, utensils and cookware. We found instructions for the appliances in a drawer towards the end of the holiday. Having these placed on the counter upon arrival would have been very helpful. We appreciate its personal preference, but most of our party found the mattresses too hard and woke up with sore backs. A mattress topper would have been greatly appreciated. At the end of our stay, we followed the instructions, which had been left by John Bray Holidays, to remove the sheets from the beds and towels from the bathrooms. This was not a relaxing way to end the holiday, especially as checkout time is 9am. There either needs to be a later checkout time or do not ask guests to start the process of laundry. Please note, Pentire is advertised on the John Bray website as having parking for 3 cars and check-in time as 4pm. Our welcome email stated 2 cars and check-in time as 4:30pm. Please update the advert or the welcome email. Thank you. Overall, our stay at Pentire was enjoyable. It has a secure garden for any guests who wish to bring a dog. A downstairs toilet and utility room, which included a washing machine and tumble dryer were nice additions to the property.

  We have stayed in many cottages across the UK, this was comfortably the best we have ever stayed in.

  So spacious inside, the bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living spaces were of the absolute highest quality. Superbly equipped and very clean and the garden and outdoor area to the rear of the property were just perfect. We are absolutely gutted to be leaving, we’ve loved every minute of our stay at Rowan Cottage. If you turn right out of the cottage, head up the road to the gate, that takes you onto Cubert Common and down into Polly Joke beach - this is highly recommended. It takes around 20-30 minutes dependent on how eager you are - I had our dog so managed it in 20 but a light walk would be around 30, this is a lovely walk and a beautiful beach (best kept secret in Cornwall still after all these years). Recommend the village chip shop in Cubert, Bowgie Inn in West Pentire for the views (and really improved over the last few years) and just near a scenic walk around to Polly Joke featuring Poppy fields around beg - late June. Thanks to the Owner for reaching out when we booked our stay and to Holly for being so helpful in the lead up to our stay. A wonderful cottage, amazingly located. We will be back.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pentire and would love return in Summer 2023.

  The owners have thought of everything to make your stay welcoming and comfortable and the property is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The kitchen and utility room are equipped with top notch appliances and there's also everything you could need in the way of pans, utensils, crockery, glasses, cutlery, etc. The rest of the house is very tastefully furnished and, importantly, the beds are comfortable. Lovely bathrooms too We didn't have access to any of the garden equipment such as table & chairs and BBQ. Maybe a bit too early in the season? It didn't matter to us as the weather wasn't quite warm enough, so we wouldn't have used it anyway. St Minver is in a lovely area with Rock, Polzeath and Port Isaac being easily accessible by car. There are lovely coastal pathways nearby with stunning views over the Camel estuary towards Padstow or you can walk on the sand from Rock to Daymer Bay when the tide is out. If you book a holiday in this area you won't be disappointed and we would definitely recommend a stay at Pentire.

  We had a wonderful week in Rowan Cottage during February half term.

  It has everything you need for a holiday with a dog, including dog food & drink bowls and a warm hose outside. The cottage is warm and very comfortable, with a cosy living room, airy dining room and warm, spacious bedrooms. The bath is fantastic! It has the most fabulously stocked kitchen I have ever come across, so catering was easy, but we also enjoyed meals and a pub quiz at Treguth Inn in Holywell Bay. The village shop & bakery are easy to walk to & handy for essentials, we bought fresh eggs from next door and Newquay is only 15 mins drive away. The village fish & chip shop was unfortunately shut while we were there, but I can recommend it from previous trips. Despite the windy weather, we had some fantastic walks over the common to Holywell Bay, Polly Joke and Crantock beaches and some lovely coastal path walking. Watching seals near Fistral beach on a very wild & windy day was a highlight of the trip.

  At first glance Pentire was amazing and was very well furnished and equipped.

  However, when we arrived our only ‘welcome’ was a note from the management company telling us to strip the beds when we left, it didn’t even say enjoy your stay! There was no Visitors Book and Information Pack, we’ve never stayed anywhere before that didn’t have this. We eventually found a few brochures in a drawer but not immediately to hand as they should have been. The Information Pack was eventually hand delivered late Thursday afternoon, we were leaving on the Friday but at least this maybe helpful for the next guests but no use to us. The grass was also not cut until the Thursday, no excuse really as the weather had been good prior to our arrival. The lounge sofa wasn’t particularly comfortable and whilst fine for two of us I don’t think it would seat more than four, possibly five. Great to have the pub so close by but this will be permanently closing very soon!
