  Our family consisted of 8 adults and a dog and we had a fabulous stay.

  We knew the house was going to be lovely but it was even more impressive in real life. The master bedroom, dressing area, ensuite and terrace were all amazing with so much space. Given the top quality furnishings throughout - the sun-loungers on the private terrace could do with upgrading. The kitchen/family room was again very spacious and great for relaxing with the dog. It was really well stocked with mountains of plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery etc and huge pans suitable for cooking for 8 adults. A couple more easy chairs would have been nice as this is where we tended to gather to play our games etc (as we had a dog). Although we didn't use it much, the pet free lounge was very inviting. The utility room, wet room and dog room with stable door were fab. This house is immaculate and the best dog friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in with no 'doggy' smells. The outside area was lovely with great views and the hot tub was a huge hit with all the family. Lots of comfortable garden seating and sturdy picnic table but a bit snug for 8 adults. With having a young energetic dog, we felt that the perimeter fence could have been more secure - but we understand that with the size of the garden this is a large job. We were surprised to see that Prysken had been rented out despite the website saying that it wouldn't - our dog escaped twice as Prysken had left both their outside gates open. The house is ideally situated to visit Padstow, Trevone, Harlyn and Constantine beaches and we made use of the bodyboards, surfboards and wetsuits provided. We would definitely recommend the house and the surrounding area for a fabulous holiday.

  The property was large so perfect for our annual family holiday however in comparison to other properties it left a lot to be desired.

  There was an immediate damp / musky smell in the living spaces and bedroom cupboards, and the carpets weren’t clean which was a concern as we had a toddler with us. When we arrived the house was basically empty save for a toilet roll in each bathroom and some hand towels. As the check in wasn’t until 4pm we assumed (as seen in other properties) a small welcome package of a handful of tea bags / coffee and some milk but there was nothing. From experience, we have expected at least the bare essentials for the first night especially when some of the party were travelling +6 hours by car. We had to buy hand soap for every bathroom, milk, sugar, salt, pepper, tea towels, dishwasher tablets, washing machine pods, dish soap, anti bacterial cleaning spray, sponges, bin bags, and cling film. We weren’t aware the garden was shared and felt overlooked by the people living in the attached / neighbouring property. However, the owners were nearby and helpful for anything that was needed which was handy and re-assuring, but definitely needed considering there was only one key available despite the booking being for 11 people. Finally, one of the houses locally had multiple dogs with almost constant barking and left dog mess frequently in the shared parking area which had to be cleaned up by our party. All of this took the shine from the holiday and we come to Cornwall every year but we won’t re-book this property which is a massive shame because it has the potential to be a beautiful holiday home / let.

  We really enjoyed our stay at "Rock Lobster" the house has been finished to a high standard and accommodated our group of 7 adults 1 child comfortably.

  The house I feel has everything you need for a more than pleasant stay. We loved the fact it has 3 bathrooms so there was no queuing when we where getting ready. We had a small issue with the hot water which I spoke with the owner and we tried to troubleshoot unfortunately we where unable to solve the issue so the owner sent out a plumber who attended within the hour and all was sorted. The house it self was lovely and warm throughout our stay even though outside was absolutely freezing. "Rock Lobster" is easy walking distance to the village/harbour where you will find a small supermarket, pubs and a few eateries. My only personal input would be, it would be nice to have had a small tv in the 2 double rooms so you could chill and watch a film when you need a little me time and maybe a Nespresso machine. That is purely personal to me as I don't drink instant coffee however it was NOT the end of the world as I just nipped down to the village for my morning latte and to be fair its a beautiful walk and I could enjoy the lovely scenery while having my coffee. I without a doubt would rent "Rock Lobster" again the rest of the family & also friends/family in Cornwall have said they will be recommending "Rock Lobster" to others. Thank you so much Joe for letting us stay in your little bit of Cornwall it was AMAZING!!!!!

  A musky, stinky, tired and tacky Farmhouse with little to be desired but the grounds it is set in.

  Ill equipped for disabled users due to 2 steps from the kitchen into the disabled bedroom, sitting room and living room (which are not detailed on the advert). The farmhouse is tired and in desperate need of updating. Marks on the walls, carpets and floors. An open grid in the downstairs bedroom made the room smell mouldy. Open cavities in the skirting boards which allowed frogs to visit. Carpets stained and grubby looking, beds old and uncomfortable. Sofas sagging and dirty. Floors unswept. Kitchen table was tacky to the touch. And made worse by the fact there was no cleaning products to maintain the property during our stay. Simple things like kitchen spray, bin bags, salt and pepper and oil were missing. WiFi wasn’t very strong unless sat in the kitchen next to the router. Although physically close, the nearest shop was down a long and winding 60mph road with no footpaths. Which was dangerous with a disabled person and small children. The owners live directly opposite the property which we found intrusive. They have several large dogs which barked often. Overall very disappointing given the lack of cleanliness and lack of provision for disabled guests. We would not visit here again for free.

  We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Rock Lobster!

  Photos didn’t do it justice. Lovely big rooms, plenty of space for a family holiday (4 adults, 3 under 5’s). It was great the top bedroom had its own ensuite and Tv so that there was some privacy away from the kids for my sister who stayed with us. 2 showers rooms and a gigantic main bathroom was a huge bonus, plenty of space for the children to play. They loved sitting on the bay window! Hosts were welcoming and communicative, we left something behind and they were extremely accommodating getting it back to us. We provided some minor feedback about thicker curtains on the windows that are too big for travel blackout blinds and they were really receptive to improving their guests stay. Lovely location with so much to do nearby, close to the town and massive supermarkets a short drive. I was a little concerned about parking availability as we went in school holidays but always found spaces for our two cars close to the house. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here and would thoroughly recommend/ come again! Thank you for a lovely family holiday!
