8 nights staying locally and enjoying body boarding. It was home away from home. Had everything we needed. We cooked every night and never worried that we might not have what we needed. Showers were so good - nice showers are a must after body boarding all day! And they were fabulous. House was cozy, clean and smelled wonderful. Comfortable beds and warm even without the heat on. No horrible drafts or smells. We loved every moment at Hollyhocks.
Lovely cottage, very thoughtfully equipped and homely. Great to have use of bikes (if you wish), body boards and wet suits which save space in the car.
Lovely area, lots of lovely places to walk, do watersports and sight-see.
Loved The Mariners for a cheeky drink on a hot day and the boat trip over to Padstow for fish and chips is a must.
Thank you MoorToSea
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in rock. The location of the cottage was fantastic for exploring an that Cornwall has to offer and the kids enjoyed getting the ferry over to Padstow, which we did on several occasions.
Plenty of options for dining without needing to use the car, supermarket deliveries available which we did, however, the village shops are well stocked so if we came again we would just use those.
My only small comment would be that the listing had said there was a dryer so we only bought 4 days worth of clothes to save car space and took washing tablets with us but when it came to having the first load of washing to do we found it was just a washer and not a washer dryer. With the weather not being great it took us two days to get the washing dry inside which wasn't ideal. If we'd known this facility wasn't available we would have packed accordingly.
If you stay, don't leave trying the bakery to the last day like we did, it's fantastic!
Had a great week at Hollyhocks, aided by fantastic weather. House is well located with great beaches within a short drive and plenty of local options to dine out.
We had a lovely time. We enjoyed walking our dogs on the beach at Rock, we walked the camel trail for the first time to Padstow. The fish n chips from Jon's in Wadebridge were delicious.
This house was perfect as a base to explore Cornwall from. It was very comfortable and had everything we need. Wendy was a great host and easy to get in touch with when required. Thank you!
Really lovely little house, close to pub/chippy/bakers and lots of other shops. A good walk to Rock but being half term it was fine to park. Lots of really good walks from the cottage. Very cosy, clean and well equipped.
We had a wonderful stay in the cottage. It was perfect for my family of 4 and generously kitted out with everything you need around the house. Wendy the host was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any queries. We would recommend this property!
We really enjoyed our stay at Hollyhocks and the location was great for walking to the local shops, down to the beach, restaurants and St Enodoc Hotel. A nice spacious cottage with a south facing enclosed garden that was good for our 2 small dogs and sitting in the sunshine. Wendy was really helpful and additional cleaning supplies were available for our stay.
Really lovely property, everything you needed and more. Clean and well presented.
As title. really lovely stay and would visit again. Location good, local shops, easy to get to Padstow by ferry and good food at the Pityme Inn. Wendy was easy to commicate with and everything went like clockwork, I would definitely recommend.
Stayed over Christmas and New Year. We found the property, clean, well equipped with plenty of room for the six of us and our dogs.
Our visit was managed brilliantly. Will we be back? Certainly
I would unreservedly recommend this accommodation.
The property was well found , comfortable and well equipped. We were delighted to find bicycles, wet suits and surf boards in the shed. A barbecue would be good as well! The geography being so close to Rock, Polzeath and Daymer Bay is perfect. We had a wonderful week.
Lovely, fairly spacious house. There were five of us plus one dog (nice secure back garden). Friendly pub just a 2 minute walk & other handy local shops nearby, e.g. nice bakery. A great base for various places, e.g. Polzeath Beach, Padstow, Port Isaac etc. Lovely beaches. Great surfing. The owner (Wendy) was very quick to respond & helpful too. Thank you.

Cosy house, great location
Just back from a very relaxing stay in this cosy home. Lovely attention to detail, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, sunny garden and excellent hosts. Ideal location for popping to shops, restaurants and pub. Beach is a walk downhill, so uphill on the way back, but well worth the effort! Very safe garden for dogs and kids, and well stocked garden shed with bikes, boards etc. Close to the road, but there is no noise at night, slept soundly! Can highly recommend a holiday here.
The house is on a quite busy road, but once you’re inside it’s barely noticeable. There’s plenty of off road parking space which is a bonus. The house is nicely decorated in a calm seaside theme. It was warm when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped. I’d definitely consider booking this again.
Had a lovely stay here in February - cottage cosy once wood burner up and going! Perfect enclosed garden for our little dog. Kitchen really well equipped with lots of little extras (dishwasher tablets, tea towels etc). A little out of Rock itself but out of season this was no problem as parking in Rock was fine. Boys loved Rock beach at low tide, so much space to let off steam.
Lovely comfortable cottage with all the amenities you require. Great enclosed garden and superbly located to visit other areas. Short drive to Port Isaac and Rock with ferry over to Padstow which we did a few times. The Pityme Inn (a short walk) is great with lovely food and great staff. Tasting Rooms in Padstow also worth a visit. All in all a great last minute fund for us and we will definitely back for longer! Thank you x
Clean throughout and has everything you need in the kitchen. Bedrooms great size and nice showers. Good location to walk from, or short drive to most places. We loved our holiday stay. The beds were comfy but if your on the tall side, they were framed so you can't put your feet over the end. It was nice to have off road parking, but if you have anything wider than a fiesta you might find it tight. Nice to be close to the beach, but it is a hardy stroll there and back. Overall a great place to stay, would be happy to book again.
We had a great stay at Hollyhocks. Cottage is clean warm and comfortable with all mod cons and everything you could need for a self catering holiday. We were very lucky with the weather, managing to lunch in the garden a few times. Hollyhocks is located about 20-30 minutes walk from the beach, on the main Rock Road, but with plenty of footpaths to take across the golf course, its a pleasant walk.
The only thing that would improve the stay is the provision of towels for guests. Wendy is a great host and we would definitely recommend.
