Rockpool

We go to the Padstow area every year and Rockpool is now our accommodation of choice.

It's always clean and has everything that you would need.

This was our second visit and we hope to book a third next year, facilities improved with the opening of the Harlan bar and the beach box nearby is perfect: The cottage itself is clean, comfortable and everything you need.

Ideal location and perfect base for coastal path walks.

Lovely cottage ,very clean and well equipped.

Lovely property, well equipped and comfortable.

Great location to a beautiful beach and coastal path walks.

Lovely holiday home and so close to what is a beautiful beach.

Perfect holiday location.

A lovely cottage in an excellent location - so handy for the beach and all the places nearby we love to visit.

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable- would love to come again!

Loved every second of our break close to the beach and within 2 miles of Padstow.

The house was clean, tidy and has everything for your holiday.

Nice house, we enjoyed the conservatory in particular.

Location is excellent, very close to the beach and also to the Beach Box whose food was a hit with the whole family. Also it is a short drive to many other great locations- Trevose Head and Bedruthan for walks, Mother Ivey’s beach. Lots of good food options also in St Merryn which is nearby. Lovely owner who was also very helpful. Only downside for us was we found the main bed not very comfortable, but maybe it’s just us.

We had an absolutely amazing week at Rockpool, the house is so well equipped with everything you could need and beautifully kept.

It was about a 2/3 minute walk to the stunning beach which we enjoyed early morning and evening dog walks on, as well as lots of body boarding. We are so sad to be home and already planning when we can return to this little piece of heaven x

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location, great for accessing the nearby dog friendly beach.

The owners have thought of everything we needed for our stay. The beds were also very comfortable. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to returning in the future.

Rockpool is lovely property and only 3 minutes walk to Harlyn Bay and it’s beautiful beach.

The property is extremely lovely to stay in and only a couple of miles from Padstow and other lovely beaches. The owner has thought of everything for comfort in this well equipped cottage. We look forward to staying here again.

We had a lovely stay thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Rockpool.

It is a really lovely, clean house with great facilities. It's also a perfect location for the beach (3 minute walk!), and for exploring the local area. As well as being really well presented with really modern appliances, it has absolutely everything you could need for a young family - probably the best kitted out home we have ever stayed in. Additionally the owner, Elizabeth, was so helpful and gave us loads of local recommendations for things to do / where to eat. Thanks for such a great week!

The property is fantastic,the next-door neighbour however is horrible,the first time I stayed there she emailed the owner to say I was parked outside the property when I was merely unloading,this time she had us turn down our music in the garden which wasn't loud to begin with.

Regrettfully I won't be going back.

This is a lovely homely top spec cottage,especially love the conservatory.

We had a week at Rockpool early November.

What is not to love, its cosy and comfortable, spotlessly clean and well stocked for self catering. Proximity to the beach is a big plus, and this leads onto lovely coastal paths which we used many times. I cannot recommend this property enough, it really is a little gem.

Lovely accommodation, very clean, very well equipped with everything you could need.

Wonderful position moments from the beach. Good communication from the owners too.

This property is a home from home with everything you need,the new kitchen is lovely and the quality of the bedding and towels are great.

i have already booked twice for next year

We absolutely loved our two week stay at Rockpool.

The house was very clean and homely; lots of thought has been given to what guests might need during a holiday. The house is very close to the stunning beach and coastal walk and there are a couple of lovely beach cafes. The owner was really approachable and helpful. And, with teenagers, Wi-Fi and the smart tv were much appreciated!

Rather small for 6 people.

The conservatory is extremely hot when the sun is shining and impossible to sit in it. Also very cramped. Space in the garden would be better utilised. Beds very comfortable. Easy access to the beach

A lovely modern property just 2 minutes walk from the beach, just what we were hoping for.

I went to the cottage to recover from breast cancer surgery and chemo.

What a beautiful place. The beach is on the doorstep, this is where I went everyday and it is a stunning beach! The cottage has everything you need inside, just like home from home. The only thing I can say that was a bit disappointing is the hot water, after paying over £1000 for a week I think the hot water should be on constantly. We had to use the shower to fill the bath enough to bath the baby on several occasions.

Lovely holiday cottage.

Very clean well laid out with great facilities. Love the beach is a couple of minutes away. Would book again.

The property is located behind the new development of the Harlyn Inn this never caused us an issue so don’t be put off book this house because of this issue.

lt is well equipped and in a Fab location especially if you enjoy walking and beach life.

Fantastic cottage with a lovely conservatory, everything you needed is there and right beside the beach, already booked for next year.

House was really well presented, clean and tidy.

Owner left two bottles of wine, biscuits, colouring pad and pencils for the kids which was all a lovely touch. The location was great literally opposite the beach. The building works that we had been informed about were alot closer then we had thought it’s literally outside the house...but it didn’t bother us one bit, they weren’t doing much and when they were we were out. Next doors building work didn’t bother us either, hardly any noise. So all in all a great stay! .

The owners of Rockpool had thought of everything we needed for our stay, making us feel at home right from the moment we arrived.

The house is in an excellent location for Harlyn Bay beach and it’s easy to get to Padstow or St Merryn by car or even on foot if you like to hike. The coastal path can be picked up easily too with some beautiful walks. The Beach Box at Harlyn is highly recommended for its breakfasts (opens at 8am), lunches and waffles!

Fantastic property and excellent location.

Beds really comfy. Cleaner not as conscientious as she should be, carpets full of dog hairs from previous renters, conservatory not been cleaned for ages. It took three goes with the hoover to clean the lounge so we could put the baby down. No clothing storage in 2nd double bedroom. Kitchen - not enough electric sockets, fridge way way too small, and no dishwasher but Liz is hoping to revamp the kitchen soon so fingers crossed this will all be rectified.

Apart from the location close to the beach this cottage has been redecorated to a very high standard.

Everything you need for a great holiday is supplied. Also cleaned to a very high standard on arrival. The owner was very helpful before our holiday re building work in the area which to be honest was barely noticed during our stay.

Very well presented - everything we needed for our stay.

Plenty of information on how to do things e.g. - washing machine etc. And instructions for waste and recycling etc. Perfect position a stones throw from the beach - a very enjoyable break. Only one negative comment - upstairs very creaky floorboards.

The cottage was the most immaculate place we have ever stayed in.

The furniture was new and there was an abundance of kitchen utensils and crockery. Parking was also easy with spaces supplied by the side of the cottages. Yes there is building work going ahead in front of the cottage but noise was kept to a minimum and it didn’t effect our holiday at all. The bonus is being so close to the beach, no driving necessary which was great for our elderly dog and indeed anyone that can’t walk that far. A cafe in the beach car park supplied everything you would need. We found some lovely restaurants not far away, one being Rick Steins called The Cornishman and also The Pickwick Inn. Newquay riding stables are half an hour away with rides along the estuary, somewhere I have visited for the last 10 years. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rockpool cottage.

Host was very communicative throughout.

House had been spotlessly cleaned. Just seconds walk from the beach which has a great beach cafe for breakfast and lunch. Has plenty of kitchen equipment. Nice warm conservatory. All it needs is a dishwasher and then it would be perfect.

Just perfect!

A real home from home, and the best equipped holiday cottage I have ever stayed in. The garden and conservatory were lovely, and the owners have done everything and more to make the stay comfortable. A minute from the beach and the perfect location from which to explore Cornwall. We loved it, and we will be back!

Lovely location,no need for car as beach across the road

Amazing location - extremely close to the beautiful Harlyn Bay beach.

Literally 1 min walk. Beach was great as gorgeous sand and lots of space for everyone to distance themselves. Lifeguards also on duty so felt very safe. Fab family beach with surfers, body boarders, swimmers, families & pooches too - catered for all!. Loved it. Also worth parking at Harbour Cove (short drive away & also dog friendly) and walking along the beach all the way to Padstow - about 40 mins - well worth it. Access to SW coastal path walks from this location too. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack of tea, biscuits and even some treats for our dog. Plenty of cleaning / sanitising items too. Bedding / towels professionally cleaned which was lovely. Bathroom looked new and was lovely and new carpets upstairs too. Conservatory was a nice place to chill and we all felt that we had space if we needed it. Garden adequate size to sit and enjoy a BBQ tea. Improvements: Could do with a bigger fridge / freezer. Also new tv would improve stay as sound was an issue - couldn't get any on our first night. Lots of switching HDMI etc etc - too much of a faff! Owner aware and was very friendly when contacted so will hopefully will be sorted in the future. Not great mobile signal either which didn't worry us. House generally clean but would benefit from skirting dusted / kitchen drawers & cupboards having a good clean out. Some building work going on in the area but not too much of an issue. All in all a very comfortable, well equipped home in an amazing location. Definitely worth a stay. You won't be disappointed - we had a fab holiday.

An excellent property.

Very clean and comfortable. Loved the conservatory, so lovely and warm and cosy. Fabulous beach near the the property to take the dog for a paddle. Kitchen well equipped and lovely little welcome try for us and the dog. Would stay again.

When they say close to the sea, I didn't beleive 3 min walk.

...but it is. When they said lovely beach..yah yah...it is. Wonderful spot, clean and comfy.

Welcoming and friendly owner and caretaker, who exceeded our expectations, and gave us great recommendations.

Cottage was comfy and clean, with amazing access to the beach and great 'welcome pack'. If we were to make any recommendations, it would be to install a new, more powerful shower.

A lovely cottage in an excellent location.

Lovely cottage in a great location - we had everything we needed for a fabulous break.

Thank you!

We all had a lovely time, the cottage had everything we needed, the owner extremely helpful.

The location was perfect, just a couple of minutes from the beach. Beautiful walks on the doorstep.

Couldn't fault the accommodation, clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Serves as a great base for the area - Harlyn Bay and all the other bays, Padstow and coastal walks.

The house was fantastic and in terms of self catering it was the one that has been best equipped for small children.

We had two under two and it was so useful. There were plenty of beach toys to borrow, a stair guard, a bath seat, an additional mattress to ensure it was a comfy cot, good high chair and plastic plates etc. The only niggle we had was that there was no recycling available onsite. You could see neighbouring properties had recycling available and it would be good if it could be looked into. We were conscientious and took all of ours to Padstow and took the plastic to the Eden Project but I fear others wouldn’t do so. It was a fantastic holiday and we would definitely visit again.

The house was warm and comfortable, we had everything we needed.

The owner of the property was very, very helpfull. When we first arrived we needed a little help to work the TV and she replied propmptly and efficiently. Its a great location for the beach and access to the surrounding area. If I had one suggestion to make , it would be to have a bigger fridge- to handle the beers :-)
