Guests say

Black Rock House in Rock, Cornwall, is highly praised for its stunning location, comfort, and well-equipped features. Guests have enjoyed the beautiful views, quiet setting, and proximity to local amenities. The property's garden and outdoor areas are appreciated, and the presence of a nearby hotel adds to the convenience. While some guests mentioned minor issues with finding the property and suggested improvements, the overall experience has been very positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Most guests found the property to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, there were a few mentions of areas that could have been better attended to, such as sketchy vacuuming and a poorly cleaned kitchen surface. These isolated comments suggest room for improvement in consistency.

The location is frequently highlighted as perfect, with beautiful views of the water and easy access to the beach and local facilities. The quiet setting away from the main road is also appreciated, enhancing the property's appeal.

Guests have found the house comfortable, with multiple living spaces and a well-equipped kitchen. The property accommodates a range of ages, and the outdoor areas add to the comfort. Some guests noted furniture crowding and challenges with bath accessibility, but overall, the comfort level is high.

The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests have enjoyed features like the fire pit and outdoor shower. However, comments about the lack of proper indoor showers, difficulty operating appliances, and maintenance issues like a leaking radiator suggest that there is room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

While guests have mentioned receiving a gift and appreciated the attention to detail inside the house, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts to accurately score this category.

About this property

Black Rock House is a stylishly furnished detached holiday home, set in a prime position in the heart of the cosmopolitan fishing village of Rock in North Cornwall, featuring direct access to the grounds of St Enodoc Hotel from the garden.

Set over three floors, this fully restored holiday home invites families to relax and socialise together through contemporary, informal décor with light and bright furnishings that exude fun, such as giant bean bags for kids (or adults!) When in Cornwall, delicious feasts are a must, so whether you hire in caterers or wish to cook up a storm (when you’re not indulging at local award-winning restaurants), the open-plan kitchen and dining area is well-equipped for all your culinary requirements!

For snug evenings head into the lounge, complete with a large L-shaped sofa and feature chair, arranged around a lovely woodburning stove, perfect for you to cosy up next to whilst watching a film.

Whilst the property invites families to socialise together, it also allows adults and children to have some separate time too. Fun for children and teenagers, a separate sitting room with a warming woodburning stove, sofa and bright bean bags is the perfect nook to relax.

Following days discovering the North Cornwall coast, the property can be accessed via the ground floor wet room, ideal for washing off wetsuits and beach gear. There’s also a ground floor utility room complete with a washing machine and dryer for ultimate convenience.

The upper floors boast three generous size bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing a separate space from the main living area to rest tired heads after busy hours exploring the great outdoors. From the master bedroom and king-size bedroom, you can even look out at the stunning sea and estuary view.

For fun-filled games in the great outdoors, head outside to the furnished patio and garden, or simply star gaze at night and dine alfresco.

Rock is a beautiful fishing village in Cornwall with a superb sandy beach, complete with shallow shores. Although small, this cosmopolitan place offers something for everyone, including coastal walks and bicycle trails, a village shop boasting fine wines and cheeses, boutique shops and award-winning restaurants, all within a short walk of Black Rock House.

Hop on the ferry to popular Padstow across the water to go crabbing in the harbour, cycle the admired Camel Trail, shop and dine in the restaurants of celebrity chefs Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth.

Perfectly located for discovering all that the Camel Estuary has to offer, Black Rock House is an ideal bolthole for a family looking for a stunning, coastal holiday home in North Cornwall.

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.

    Beautiful yard and Kitchen/Dinning area. Shower (s) a little quirky but doable. Third story did yield several head butts against the low attic sloped ceiling, but again doable. Definitely a repeat.

    Had everything we could possibly need whilst staying here. Our only slight disappointment was the lack of proper showers in the 2 bathrooms in side the house. But thus did not detract from the enjoyment of the holiday. Would stay again
