Kilcarreg

A well positioned property allowing you to park and leave your car in the 2 car drive.

Then walk to many destinations in Rock and beyond. Porthilly Beach, Polzeath and Daymer Bay. Catch the ferry over to Padstow, rent a bike and follow the Camel Trail. Eat at some of the best restaurants around, not forgetting Fees cafe! or come back to Kilcarreg and cook in the well equipped kitchen. You will sleep well in the large beds after relaxing in the large bath or taking a rain shower! Just need the bin days confirmed. Thanks Mrs H for being very responsive when we needed you….

Comfortable house in very peaceful location.

Lovely garden Charming and helpful owner. Lounge furniture tired. Sofa and chairs offering little support. Rubbish collection details unclear. The red bin ( only one in the drive) was not emptied in spite of several collections in the road.

Very comfortable house that felt more like a home.

Possibly the best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced in a holiday let. Loads of space for us and our teens. Well situated for walks to the beach and down to Rock itself.

An amazing house.

Very clean and very comfortable

Kilcarreg was a lovely home from home stay.

Every thing you need for a self catering stay. The two double rooms are at either end of the landing which offers a nice level of privacy. We enjoyed the amount of space in the property as a family of six. We stayed for a week and would happily stay for longer. The host Mrs H was contactable by phone and very pleasant.

Loved staying at Kilcarreg a beautiful house with plenty of room for the whole family, wet room showers were a bit difficult to control water running away, the house is well equipped with every need anticipated, plenty of parking for two cars and very private we didn’t want to leave Thank you for a really great holiday

This is very spacious property which suited us very well.

The kitchen is very well equipped if you wish to do a lot of cooking. It’s location is ideal to walk into Rock and drive quickly to Polzeath. The information from the owner was extremely useful. I would definitely consider booking this again in the future.

A lovely spacious home in an excellent location.

The house has everything you might need to enjoy your stay and the owner is very responsive and helpful if there are any issues - we had a query about bins that was dealt with speedily. Beautiful gardens to enjoy, which are secluded and private. By car, holiday makers are minutes from the ferry to Padstow, the beach at Daymer or shops and the Camel Trail at Wadebridge. The local shops are very good and there is a garage close by too. We were sad to leave.

A most enjoyable stay at Kilcarreg.

A very comfortable, spacious house and would most definitely recommend. Lovely garden and set in a quiet and peaceful location close to essential amenities including a first class bakery shop just a short walk away for lovely fresh bread and pastries. Just a couple of constructive criticisms. The large sofa and fireside chairs are quite uncomfortable and the cushions slip of the sofa and really offer no support. Basically, too sqiggy and soft and terrible difficult to get out of for the over 60’s. Secondly, the master bedroom would benefit with a dressing table and drawers as it is very difficult to find a comfortable place to dry hair and apply makeup. No mirror! I hope you find this helpful.

Such a beautiful house.

Comfy sofas for curling up in the evening, comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen! The house was perfect with plenty of spaces to chill. Mrs Hammond was really helpful, suggesting places to eat etc. I'd recommend The Pityme Inn for an evening meal. We also loved that we could explore without needing the car everyday. There was a short walk to the beach - where you could walk for miles at low tide. You can hop on the ferry over to Padstow from the beach too. Overall a perfect week away. We will definitely return.

Beautiful property with everything you could need.

A real home from home for all ages. Very thoughtful owner. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance to shops and beach. Lovely garden with several quiet areas to read take in the Cornish air. Thank you, we will be back.

Extras and surplus beautiful housewares surprised us!

Nicely decorated and comfortable holiday home. Highly recommended.

This property was absolutely superb.

Diamond standard for cleanliness and extremely spacious and comfortable. The information was exactly right and we could not fault a single thing. We will definitely be returning and will stay for longer next time.

We stayed here for 2 weeks at the end of the 2022 summer holidays.

The house was perfect. It had everything we needed for us and our children. There was plenty of space. The owners were really helpful too (thank you!). The location is great. We spent much of the holiday exploring local beaches. Some of the ones we liked most that are local are Harlyn bay, Constantine bay and Polzeath. We also really liked taking the ferry over to Padstow.We had perhaps our best ever holiday staying in Kilcarreg and will certainly be back.

An excellent clean, comfortable, well equipped cottage.

Tremendously clean, well situated and appointed.

We loved it.

The description of the location suggested a 10 minute walk to the ferry.

It is in fact 1.2 miles and if the ferry is used at low tide a demanding extra 1/4 mile walk over soft sand. We are both in our mid seventies and lucky to be reasonably mobile. Fortunately we took the car down to the ferry carpark. If we had not we would have been unable to walk back up the hill to return to the excellent house. The bakery, butchers and Spar were all very good and the house and facilities top quality.

What a wonderful house in a great location.

Exceeded our expectations, very large, comfortable and well equipped. Would certainly like to return in the future.

Kilcarreg is a lovely, spacious, very comfortable house where everyone immediately felt at home.

It was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished, well equipped and the WiFi was excellent. It is in a brilliant location, in a quiet street very close to our favourite beaches. The owner was very friendly and we had a wonderful holiday there, we all agreed it was the best place we had ever stayed at.

Thank you for providing a lovely comfortable, clean holiday home.

The house is lovely- it really is a home from home. Thank you for being so considerate of your tenants.

Great cottage.

Lovely location. Exactly what we expected. Only downside was we didn't understand the re-cycling instructions!

Absolutely brilliant stay, the owner was wonderful and very helpful!

Would highly recommend

Loved the property!

Convenient location and a helpful and informative owner.

Kilcarreg is a very comfortable, well-equipped and conveniently-located property for a small family or small group holiday in North Cornwall - and less than an hour from the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan etc.

The owners were very helpful and the house was lovely and comfortable with everything that was needed.

There was plenty of space in house and garden so we could be on our own or together as a family. Also there’s so much to do in the area and we had good weather. Rock is a lovely village and we can recommend the bakery, the deli and the fish and chips! Everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed walking along the beautiful coast and beaches, swimming, kayaking, cycling and visiting places of interest.

Kilcarreg was the best holiday rental we have ever had (and we've had lots over the years!

). The house was huge, clean, warm, comfy and extremely well equipped. We loved the garden, which was perfect for hide and seek with the grandchildren. The house is also close to some excellent shops to top up on provisions, and there are lots of interesting Public footpaths which we enjoyed exploring. We always enjoy a trip on the ferry to Padstow, and have pasties for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay with our family. Thank you excellent service.

Fantastic house and the service was superb.

The owner Alison was wonderful and checked everything was ok, and made us feel very welcome. The accomodation was of the highest standard with everything (and more) that you could need. Wonderful house and facilities in a great location.

Good house well equipped

Perfect, comfortable house in a great location that suited us all very well.

No problems at all. Would recommend.

Nothing more to say fantastic

What an amazing cottage expected to be impressed with the property but not to the extent we were - the cottage had everything you could possibly want and more to help you enjoy your holiday and make you feel totally at home.

The locality is perfect to explore all of Cornwall we did from top to bottom, East to West. The local chip shop is well worth a visit and portions are plentiful. The Pityme Inn is another place to visit and only round the corner. Will look forward to returning here at another time and will not hesitate to recommend to our family and friends

Good sized property with lots of comfortable places to relax.

Enjoyed local walks to beaches, shops and restaurants. Handy for Padstow ferry.

We had a wonderfully relaxing break at this beautiful well-equipped cottage.

The standard of the accommodation was exceptional. Cleanliness and comfort second to none. The location was fantastic, close to so many lovely beaches, and a short ferry trip away from Padstow. Even in February the cottage was warm and inviting. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again, thank you.

Although booked through Sykes, our hosts deserve a special mention.

The house was fantastic - quiet, beautifully kept and fully equipped. From arranging the key to sorting little issues, they were always available and made every effort to make the holiday as pleasant as possible. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property.

Plenty of space. Well equipped. Lovely gardens. Nice and quiet. Great base for coastal walks.
