What our customers say about their holidays

  Family of 4 adults and two under 10 children for one week at this stay.

  Would like to say first off, this is a fabulous property and we would definitely return. It is spacious, airy, clean and has a wonderful sense of calm. Beds and linens very comfortable, decor excellent. The kitchen is well equipped and all facilities you could need for a holiday stay including washing and a utility area. The location is perfect and the views over Rock towards Padstow are excellent. Few maintenance points: - There are quite a few light bulbs blown, both inside and out, including those around the car parking area which was pitch black at night. - The sofas in the main living area could do with new stuffing in the seat cushions - they have gone very flat and hard, as a consequence it was difficult to relax on them in the evening. Our only real gripe is in regard to the T&C's from the property management; we have stayed at many Cornish Cottages, and this property has a significant list of cleaning duties you must perform prior to leaving or face additional charges. Whilst we are in complete agreement with respectfully leaving a property in a good state ready for it to be professionally cleaned for the next tenants, we felt the list was a little too extensive, in particular as it needs to be vacated by 9am on the day of departure.

  I cannot recommend this house enough.

  We had an amazing stay at the beginning of June. The house is ideally located and the views are amazing. It was lovely sitting in the garden in the evening with a glass of wine and watching the boats and people using the facilities from the closeby water school. The beach in Rock is beautiful and you reach Padstowe by the ferry which takes a couple of minutes. The only thing that was negative was that the local agents who looked after the property had failed to provide any towels for two of our guests. We told them on the first day and they promised to provide them but didn’t and we had to call again, only to be told that all they had were some hand tails. Two of our guests had to go off and buy their own towels which I thought was dreadful considering it said they were included in the rental. However, this is not the fault of the owner and we couldn’t fault the house or it’s location. Would highly recommend and will be back if we get the chance!

  Hiya, got a call from from your office about the back door key yesterday and has jogged my memory on the other things you need to be aware of.

  The toaster is not working properly. Light switches/dimmer switches old, cracked and broken . PAT testing ran out in July! Kitchen drawer fronts fell off, kitchen shelves holding the glasses were about to fall. The downstairs smells of damp, mould around the bath, (en-suite downstairs ). Photos are available if you would like to see. As the agent for the property I think you should be checking if it’s fit for purpose although I appreciate feedback does help (hopefully). It didn’t, however, when we rented First Light in August 2020. The property details stated there was a coffee machine (which was also shown in the photographs). This wasn’t in the kitchen but in a locked room downstairs. We called and emailed to ask about this, but nobody was available or responded. Happy to discuss further if you would like.

  Dear All, Just to say thank you!

  We have had another wonderful week at 19 Slipway. We find the house so well equipped, perfectly laid out, and beautifully maintained for our type of holiday that it makes our holiday such an easy, relaxed and comfortable week. We also hugely appreciate the new John Bray extras. It's a complete joy not having to think about bed linen; the white fluffy towels and crisp white cotton bedding are perfect and made-up beds for our arrival are heaven! It was also lovely to receive the welcome goodies, tea towels etc. Thank you also for the efficient admin, and quick handling of our hot water query at the beginning of our stay. We do hope we will be able to come back for year 4 next year! Hope the rest of the high season is good.

  Very nice, comfortable house, great views and location.

  While otherwise well equipped and maintained, the utensils and kitchen equipment were poor quality eg microwave with a mechanical timer, plates from Wilko, Sainsburys, no coffee machine of any kind,oven that evidently did not work and / or lacked any instructions. Also noted the absence of a simple welcome pack (some tea, milk, biscuits etc ) which was the only time we found these lacking in many years of holiday lets. A short primted guide to the house and the owners requests would be more helpful than the many written notes taped to various walls through the house. These would not cost much to address and would be more in keeping with the rest of the house and its price point.
