The location is great and we loved the layout of the house - it was perfect for the 3 of us plus dog. We really appreciated all the kitchenware and other items that have been provided by the owners - we had everything we needed and more! The house was warm and well looked after. There was an area of damp in the bedroom that we needed to clean but had been made aware of this by the owners and dehumidifiers have been provided to help with this. Rock House is now at the top of our list of favourite holiday lets and we hope to be back soon!

We know the Strand very well but a change of circumstances left us needing to find a new place to stay. Rock House was perfect for us. We shall return!

Loved our stay here. Very well equipped, clean, cosy. Loved the log burner in the evenings. Great being by the beach, lovely cafe across the road and pub up the hill. We will definitely be back - this was our second stay.
