You will not be disappointed

We have been to Rock Cottage a couple of times and it is always a pleasure. It is spotlessly clean and usefull items such as towels and gowns are provided cutting down what to pack conciderably. There is a lot to see and explore in the local area, we went horse riding, Praa sands for boogie boarding and also it is an easy drive to the Minack Theatre, Mouse hole and St Ives. I would recomend this cottage whole heartidly.

Fabulous find! I have been to Cornwall every year since birth and always stayed at St Ives.
Recently I fell up the Helford Estuary, a much underated part of Cornwall. Very different to the beach areas. Very green, lush, stunning views, quiet winding country lanes, tropical gardens, steams and wildlife. WOW! Just as if not more beautiful than the tourist parts. I decided this year that I wanted to stay in a creek cottage and came across Rock Cottage.
The views at Rock Cottage were just what I was looking for. You are teetering on the end corner of a small side creek off the Helford Estuary. The garden is flat at the top so plenty of flat areas...it then steeply slopes down to the jetty where the boat is moored. There is a lovely secret bench in the garden which captures the morning sun perfectly.
When I arrived, I just stood there in a trance, as there was no noise, no fligt path, nothing!! Coming from London it was a weird sensation not to hear noise as you can always hear something in London.
The cottage was simply exquisite, old and quaint - just what I want when I am in Cornwall. Who wants a modern flat when you can live like they did hundreds of years back!
Linda exceeded herself as her cleanliness is out of this world. Also, there was every appliance needed. We had a dishwasher, barbecue equipment for the barbie and even sugar, salt, kitchen rolls, everything! all the plates, cups, tee towels, linen, bath towels were all clean and waiting. So were bath robes. The master bedroom smelt wonderful - very clean. I stared for ages out of the window at the views!!!
One small draw back - the garden is a little on the shady side, but really not a major issue for us. Also, I had to save up for this week, as it cost a little more than my usual Cornish holidays. Please be aware that there is only one bathroom downstairs, so you have to run down at night to the loo! lol
However, my 2 year old didn't even venture down the hill, so no worries there. The boat was great and all the instructions clearly left for us.
I honestly hand on heart will return to this cottage.
Some other people mentioned noise from the road. If you call one car every 15 min as noise then they must be living in a field somewhere. There was no noise problems.
This holiday was very special for me. Thankyou Linda for making such a week special and PLEASE contact me if you ever decide to sell, as I will buy Rock Cottage off you at a drop of a hat!

Rock Cottage really is the best place for enjoying the river and exploring this lovely area of Cornwall. The photos don't convey just how peaceful and idyllic it is there.

We kayaked daily which was so easy with the jetty and the kids spent hours crabbing. We loved watching the wildlife, including the dusk exodus of the bats!
Oh yes - some days we even left the cottage and visited some of the fabulous nearby beaches, villages, pubs, and attractions!

Linda made us feel so welcome and special - thank you again.

We are looking forward to our next visit.

We had a wonderful 2 week stay & were made to feel very welcome by the owners.
The cottage more than lived up to its description. We found it to be excellently equipped, clean, comfortable & in a beautiful, unique location with stunning views, wildlife aplenty & easy access to the road network for days out.
The local village (a short walk away) was friendly & we were well catered for by the Spar shop & the Ship Inn.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone wishing to holiday in the area. Quite the best holiday cottage we have stayed in & we are looking forward to returning.

A very cosy cottage beamed cottage uniquely placed on a rock foundation overlooking a magical tidal creek with ever-changing vistas. Take binoculars and have breakfast watching the morning routine outside your window. At night there is utter peace and you will sleep soundly.

The cottage is very well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, conventional oven and fridge-freezer. The high-quality furnishings, comfortable beds and supply of books, videos and cds offer everything needed for a relaxing break.

The cottage is also well placed for walks and beaches, and surrounded by good local and farm shops as well as excellent pubs.

But you may not want to go anywhere such is the tranquillity of this spot.

With my partner's 30th birthday approaching the pressure was mounting to find that special place to celebrate and relax. I stumbled acoss Rock cottage, after searching the internet for a few days. The pictures looked fantastic and the location ideal and therefore decided to book the cottage for four nights (this was done without Richard viewing any of it). It is now with a degree of smugness that I am now writing this review!
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that I had made a brilliant choice. Having been given the keys from Linda (after following her spot on directions) we easily found the cottage and eagerly passed through the gate. The view of the river and it's surroundings are the first things that grab you and are absolutely outstanding. After gawping for a while, we then entered the house not only to find it in a spic and span condition but also that Linda had provided a cornish cream tea and a box of chocolates as a gift for Richard's birthday!
The cottage is welcoming with all the home comforts you could ask for..a fully equiped kitchen, fire in the lounge, comfy beds as well as several books on the shelves that inform you of local walks and activities - that is if you can drag yourself away from the house!
Although we did get out and do plenty, we equally enjoyed the time in and around the house - whether spotting the many different birds in the garden, noting the ever changing river or fishing off the jetty (although Richard had no luck catching anything!).
In the evening we were able to walk to the local pub/inn where we had a sound dinner and a few drinks before walking back "home".
The location on a whole was convenient for most day trips to the surrounding areas (padstow,falmouth, lizzard pennisular) although there are fantastic walks, views, shops right on the cottage's doorstep.
Before our first night was over we knew that we would return and since we have been home we have been pouring over our pictures and already discussing a revisit. ..that is if it's not all booked up after people like me posting such reviews!
Once again many thanks to Linda and hope to see you and the cottage again (soon!).

If you want to stay in a cottage which has everything you could need in the most stunning location I have ever had the pleasure to witness then Rock Cottage it must be. Situated in a lovely village within driving distance to all the attractions in Cornwall it couldn't be better located. There is a lovely local pub who welcomed us with open arms, local farm shops who go out of their way to make sure you can get the local catch of the day and a little local store who stock all you need. In fact it seems that everyone (including Linda the owner and the locals) just want to ensure you have a great time. We loved our time at Rock Cottage and have every intention to stay again it was just heavenly.

We saw this on the internet and thought it seemed great, and looked it up in google earth, so knew it was in a really quiet position. It is on a creek of the river, and from the kitchen you look directly over the garden into the river valley and surrounding hills with nothing but the constantly changing water, sky and trees. We had a lovely Christmas, it was overcast most of the time, but even then, the view was lovely. You do not have to go outside to see the 28 varieties of birds that we saw there. It has all the facilities described ..... in excellent order. Linda was really helpful and there was a lovely box of welcoming goodies for us.A short walk to the village which has everything you need .. if you don't want to hit the towns. Yet near enough to a supermarket (if that's your preference). Lots of wonderful walks. It will remain in our minds as the most lovely Christmas and we certainly intend to return....
