Very nice, a quiet & peaceful location... parking a major bonus. Cliff top walk is stunning to either Tintagel or Trebarwith....and a good cardiac work out.The actual house was great for us.

Rock House is more beautiful in person than the photos in the listing. It is full of charm and history as well as every modern convenience you could want. Our family loved staying here and Kim was lovely to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. We will be booking here again!

The house is Ideally placed for exploring the coast. We were grateful for host booking us in at short notice and the place was spotless on our arrival. We appreciated the huge DVD library as we had some rainy days.

CHRISTMAS IN TREKNOW

Great festive stay with lots of places to visit within a short drive away - our favourite had to be Polzeath beach for the absolutely freezing Christmas Day swim - so well attended and free mulled wine for the brave souls who dipped! We ate out at the Port William pub overlooking the squally ocean - fabulous views....Rock House was well equipped with plenty of room for all of us (family of four and spaniel) Open fire in the sitting room was a real bonus and the Christmas tree set up for our arrival was very sweet.

afgeleefd huis met mooie ligging

Het huis is afgeleefd en niet gezellig. De keuken is het enige wat vernieuwd is. Tuinset is best ook wel aan vernieuwing toe. Het huis was ook niet zo proper (bestel lag nog onder de zetel). Naar ons gevoel was het snel gekuist. de ligging is wel mooi. Zeer slechte wifi ontvangst, geen telefonisch bereik (hiervoor moet je enkele meters verder lopen richting kust) Dit huis heeft echt wel een renovatie nodig.

lovely cornish cottage

Nice cottage, comfortable for 5 adults. Good location with nice 10-15min walk to Trebawith beach and Port William pub. Close to Tintagel. Good facilities but surprised no dishwasher for size of property (not a major issue!!!)

Lovely stay

Rock house simply put was home away from home. The kitchen was well furnished which made cooking easy. We also found all the leaflets of places we could visit very helpful since it was our first time in Cornwall. Our favourite place was the Strand beach which was very close to the house and we will definitely be back. Thanks Kim for making our stay comfortable and making yourself available anytime we needed help. If you’re visiting Cornwall Rock house is the place to stay. Definitely recommend.

Family holiday

This was our second visit to Rock House and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is ideally located just outside of tintagel and in walking distance of a beautiful beach and pub. Communications with Kim at the house were great, kim rang a week before for a catch up and to discuss arrival times. We really couldn't have asked for more. We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning our return visit next year.

Welcoming cozy house near splendid beach

We stayed at Rock House for two weeks and enjoyed the great beach, surf and parts of the coast path, as well as tips for local activities from our host. The family holiday home had everything we need and enough space for the evenings and rainy days for our group of 6. The house could use a bit of love and care in places. The beds were clean and comfortable.

Beautiful old stone cottage near to beach and coast path

We had a fabulous stay; the cottage and location were just perfect. We only used the car once all week. Tintagel (shops and pasties!) just a short-ish walk away. A lovely walk down to Trebarwith Strand beach which is world-class at low tide.

Lovely cottage - perfect location!

We have had a wonderful stay at Rock House. The location is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding villages and perfect location to accessing the lovely beach. We had glorious weather so utilised the outside space and BBQ each evening when we returned from the beach. Will definitely return.

A fabulous getaway, right on the coast

Our family had a wonderful stay at Rock House. Tucked in a quiet village up on the cliffs, it's the perfect spot for either walks to nearby Trebarwith or Tintagel, or for heading out into the rest of the county to explore. The house itself is wonderful - warm, welcoming and with everything we needed. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again, thank you for a fabulous stay

Enjoyable stay

The house is quirky and spacious. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who showed us around. The house is mostly equipped for up to 8 people, but if travelling in a larger party one snag is that the only shower is in the en suite to the master bedroom - this made it a bit time consuming and inconvenient for everyone to have showers - there is another bathroom without a shower. The location is good and off the beaten track - an easy walk to tintagel by road or take the scenic cliff walk to the church and walk into the town from there. Also a 15 minute walk from trebarwith strand but this is a steep walk back through field and woodland so not for the very young or elderly. Be aware that the tide is in for most of the day at trebarwith and the beach is generally only accessible from later afternoon onwards. For beach days, Bude or Port Isaac are a safer bet. The two most local pubs are very pricey and arguably the quality of the food and service doesn’t match the price! Better to sample eateries further afield. Boscastle farm shop and tintagel brewery are two great places to eat good food. Parking is off road and you can fit two cars on the drive. Lots of DVDs and books to use. The wi Fi was very poor during our visit, which wasn’t a problem for the adults but irritated the moody teens! There is no phone signal in the cottage (might be a blessing). Beds were very comfy - a bit surprised to be asked to pay an extra premium of £12 per person for linen as this has never happened during dozens of cottage stays over the years. We opted to take our own as it would have cost over £100 extra for our party. It was mentioned in the terms of booking but thought it was quite a steep charge. The communication from the owner was very good with a handy digital booklet explaining everything. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Excellent sejour

Rock House est fidèle à l'annonce, maison très agréable, très propre et qui est idéale pour affronter les grosses chaleurs: fraîche et coins ombragés pour prendre les repas dehors. Nous n'avons manqué de rien et avons passe un excellent séjour. L'emplacement est idéal pour faire des randonnées magnifiques à pieds de la maison où aller à la plage à travers champs. Délicieux séjour en Cornouailles dans un village charmant et très calme.

Rock House adventures

If you are looking to reveal the secrets of Cornwall, the Rock House is perfectly located for privacy, romance, water, walking. Bracing walks, swims, views in your doorstep, and the rest of Cornwall an easy drive. Lovely Kim will make sure you are well settled, the beds are comfy, and the ensuite shower will ease away any sore muscles from your adventuring. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Amazing

Stunning house - the photos don't do this place justice! We had an amazing stay and felt very welcome, the house was beautiful and the attention to detail such as board games, DVD's and even the tide times was a cute touch. Beautiful village with the beach only a walk away. The only little thing is we had to meet the house keeper at 4pm to pick up the keys, I think a key safe would be a better option in case we couldn't make it for that time. The other thing to mention is that toilet roll isn't provided, therefore you will need to provide your own.

Not Quite Right

First of all the housekeeper Kim Climo was excellent. However, the property is rather tired and the second bedroom had an infestation of Jackdaws in the roof space that ruined 2 nights sleep. Kim's fast action saved the remainder of the stay but I suggest that some serious maintenance should have already taken place to prevent the infestation in the first place. The house feels quite damp which rendered the lounge unusable during the stay as it had a very unpleasant smell. There were a number of other smaller issues such as chipped crockery that was only almost clean. Cutlery and mugs required cleaning before we could use them. Loose toilet seat and the kitchen tap disintegrated. The toaster handles drop off. I'm sure that the property could be delightful but it needs some work on the building and presentation.
