Black Rock Reviews

Had a lovely time in black rock will definitely be returning again in the ... Had a lovely time in black rock will definitely be returning again in the future, Paul the owner is a lovely man we had plenty of wood when ever we wanted for the blog burner and the hot tub, the hot tub was warm on arrival and had a lovely welcoming cream tea which we enjoyed the cottage is beautiful and very clean would highly recommend

Just got back from a fabulous weeks stay in this wonderful property with views of the sea & lighthouse . So peaceful & quiet yet close to pub& shop . The property was just like home from home with every little detail thought of . Thank you for the welcome Cornish cream tea already on the tray Lovely touch .spotlessly clean comfy beds with feather pillows secure garden for our doggies & bonus of a hot tub with outside lights . Loved it so much already booked it for next year . Thank you

Just returned from staying at Black Rock, it was a perfect place to explore Cornwall. The cottage is spacious and well equipped. The beds are really comfortable and have quality bedding. The hot tub was a great addition to enjoy after sight seeing. When we arrived the hot tub was warmed and a Cornish cream tea welcomed us after a long travel which was really thoughtful. We loved staying here and we will most definitely be returning to Cornwall and Black rock. Thank you for such a great stay.

The property is in a great location to get out and about. We went from the south to the north coast with ease compared to other locations weve stayed in the past. The owner was on hand if needed. We enjoyed the enclosed rear garden and private hot tub. The cottage is situated in a lovely quiet spot with plenty of space to park. We made good use of the kitchen to cook some meals but also ate out each day. The cottage is fairly well equipped but doesnt have a washing machine or a hoover. To be fair there is only a small amount of carpet but Id have happily vacuumed before we left. Its a great location and we had a lovely time. Thank you.

Stacey

Back from a lovely weeks stay. We were welcomed by the owner and generous scones and cream tea. The cottage was charming with an airy feel and extremely comfortable beds! The kids loved the novelty of sleeping upstairs whilst we were downstairs and having their own ensuite. We were asked if we wanted the hottub on for our arrival and then were told it would be the next day but we didn't mind. The hottub was also not woodfired and was in an outbuilding which was a bit of a let down as the scenery and views are spectacular, but, the children enjoyed it. 'Blackrock' was the cottage next door and we stayed in 'Leghorn' on the end. The garden is a little suntrap for early evening lounges we brought our own picnic blankets. We got to meet the resident, freerange goat who is rather a character. So quiet apart from the sounds of nature and livestock. Our favourite goto was Charlestown which we well recommend along with The Eden Project.

Jackie

Black Rock was lovely, beautiful views, enclosed private garden with log burning hot tub, large parking area. Inside the property was clean and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The the property was ideal as a base for our holiday. Lovely views. Very clean and well equipped. The only disappointment was the hot tub. It took too long to heat up in fact we didn't get it warmer than a luke warm bath and didn't like the smell of smoke.

We had the most comfortable and relaxing week at Black Rock. The furnishings and contents of the cottage were of the highest standard, we especially appreciated the comfy beds. The hot tub was a must after a long day at the Eden Project. We would love to return some day.

Debbie

A great position for travelling around Cornwall to view was stunning at the front with sea views think there should be more comfortable sitting so you can enjoy, was comfortable inside but little things let it down no oven gloves ! ! Would have been nice to have coffee I think instead of shop bought scones coffee would have been better also maybe some baskets downstairs to put shoes in would have been good too, but we had a great stay and the weather was kind

Samuel

1110 rating! Extremely grateful to have spent the week celebrating our honeymoon and our daughters 1st birthday in such a lovely house & area! Definitely worth the 6 and a half hour drive! My wife is a huge lover of farm animals and it was brilliant to have been able to say good morning to the cows every day with our daughter. The house was immaculate, a stunning view looking out to the coast and no noise around. Only little point to make was we didnt buy sauces or cooking spray when we did our shop as presumed they might have been in a cupboard but that was the only tiny snag we had all week. 110 will be booking again. Thank you so much!

Hayley

A lovely modern property in a good location. Absolutely loved it here and would highly recommend! Stunning views and quiet location, lovely owners and cream tea was a welcomed bonus! Thank you so much for a lovely week!

Elizabeth

Beautiful accommodation, great location with amazing views! Was disappointed that despite paying to have our dog join us for an additional cost, we were notified on arrival that they could not be left unattended at any time, this did mean we couldnt go out for an hour or so for a meal or drink without the dog. This should have been more clearly communicated. The dog was not allowed upstairs, which was of course completely understandable but when the gate was left open by mistake and made the bed sheet dirty, we were unable to clean the bedding as there wasnt the washing machine advertised. We were then billed 28 for a single bed sheet without notice. These two things contributed to a very disappointing experience in the end.

Superb stay quality of fixtures and fittings very high. Only things we would have liked istoilet brush,dust pan and brush for downstairs and some instructions on how best to light log burning hot tub although im sure Paul would have helped if we had asked as he was avery nice chap.

Stephanie

Really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable modern converted barn. The house had everything you needed, a comfortable night's sleep and enough room for a family of four to not feel cooped up. The hot tub was definitely a bonus as the kids enjoyed going in after a day out. Lovely views of the sea too!

Alison

We stayed in Black Rock first week of December. Had a fantastic week the property was clean comfortable and very cosy. Views were spectacular was a delight to wake up every morning. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Charlotte

Lovely stay and welcoming, helpful owners. Clean, comfortable, furnishings, bedding etc all to high standard. Great views , quiet and relaxing but great location for exploring Cornwall. Dog friendly he enjoyed it as much as we did.

Natalie

What a gem of a find. Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Everything you could need and the hot fired hot tub really made it a special place.

Lovely cottage, beautiful view. After 9 hours travel having the hot tub lit ready for us to use when we arrived was great. Forgot how many hills and narrow the roads are especially when Google took us cross country without permission! Thank you for the complimentary cream tea. We visited Restomel, St Mawes and Tintagel Castles and Pastow. Fab Fantastic view from the front door.

Brilliant stay lovely spacious clean cottage. Nice welcoming cream tea and hot tub ready to use .eden project was 20 min walk thanks to owner telling us about route .only 1 issue would like info on hot tub but we figured it out need to get some kindle to get it going big logs kept putting it out .also would be good to have a few leaflets or guest book to find out places to go and eating out .

A delightful property. Greeted by a Cornish cream tea and hot tub fired up. Views of the sea from the living room worth going for alone. Comfortable settees and very comfortable beds. Enclosed garden safe for dog. We had a very contented time here. And will be back!

Phillip

We really enjoyed our stay here, a lovy cream tea welcome with the hot tub lit. We'll situated for the Eden project and thank you Paul for the tip re visiting Eden, it saved a few pennies. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Alison

Very spacious property. Extremely clean and comfortable. All furniture, appliances, crockery etc of high quality. Lovely cream tea ready for us to have at the property on arrival is a lovely touch. Enclosed back garden so the dogs were safe. Hot tub was great every night once we worked it out. Just dont put too much wood in there or it gets too hot. Property in very quiet surroundings . 20 minute walk to the Eden project or 5 minutes in the car. If you are a runner would definitely recommend going down there to do the parkrun on Saturday morning as you get to stay in the Eden project for free and its so worth the visit . Would definitely recommend staying at Blackrock because of how comfortable and spacious it is and in a great location for exploring the Cornish coast

Absolutely loved the cottage, everything there you need and a fantastic view across the bay from the front, Hot tub was nice to get into to warm us up after the cold walks on the beach, and the hosts were there when you needed them, will definitely be back. Thanks Keith & Belinda

Kimberley

The property is perfect & the views are amazing. Paul was a great host

Katrina

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting. Very clean place. We thought the scone and jam ect was a lovely touch which we fully enjoyed while there. The owners left us to enjoy our time there but was also contactable should we of needed them. We will hopefully be returning again soon as we loved it so much. We didnt want to come home.

We had a lovely time at the cottage. It was very comfortable everything that you would need was there. The owners friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Would definitely recommend. We will be back again.

We really enjoyed our week at Black Rock cottage. Everything we could have needed was provided, including the ingredients for a lovely cream tea on arrival! We loved the fact that the floor was tiled downstairs which made it a lot less stressful in October with a hairy dog! The location is beautiful and you can even see the sea from the cottage due to its vantage point. A nice enclosed garden was good for the dog, and would be nice to sit out in during the summer months. Overall we would thoroughly recommend staying at Black Rock, and would happily return ourselves, thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Eilidh

Black Rock cottage was everything we were looking for our holiday stay. It was very clean, cosy and well appointed. The owner was friendly, helpful but never intrusive. The welcome cream tea was a lovely touch. The only one small thing we would have found helpful was a written set of instructions for the dishwasher, cooker and hot tub to refer to when in doubt. The owner did cover these in his 'tour' when the first members of our party arrived but in all the excitement of settling in the details were later found to have slipped away.

Debbie

Lovely cottage in a great location allowing easy access to all areas of interest. The cottage is modern and well appointed and the hot tub was a lovely extra that provided many relaxing evenings. The owners gave us lots of information on how to enjoy our stay and were just a stones throw away should there be a problem, but were not intrusive at all. I would recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again. The only thing missing was the Xbox, but we were glad to not have it as a distraction and so didn't ask about it.

A lovely, light, spacious and well located property. The exclusive use of the wood fired hot tub is a wonderful bit of luxury at the end of a day of sightseeing. The views over the coast and sea are beautiful and you can either walk or drive to the Eden project, which is only three minutes away by car. The owners are very helpful if you ever need anything and arriving to find milk, tea and cream scones with jam for you was a really nice touch.

Claire

Thankyou for a lovely stay. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, we had a lovely warm welcome and the cream tea is a lovely touch on arrival. The cottage was perfect for the dogs as the garden was enclosed and the flooring in cottage was easy to clean. Jane was lovely, very approachable and friendly. Will definitely recommend and hopefully be back sometime. Thank you

Nathan

Need bigger TV that connects to internet to watch net flix.

We very much enjoyed our stay here! With fabulous views overlooking the countryside and sea from our bedroom window, to the enclosed garden at the back making it very safe for our dogs, Black Rock was everything we needed. It was nice having our own bathrooms, the kitchen was well stocked and functional, the beds were comfortable, and for us, the cherry on the cake after a 7 hour drive was that the owners had preheated the hot tub for us so all we had to do was stoke the fire up a little more, and soak! The addition of milk, teabags and all the ingredients for a Cornish cream tea was a lovely touch, and we also bought a box of delicious fresh eggs. All in all, a lovely stay and would definitely recommend!

The property is located in a great central location to access the local tourist attractions such as the Gardens of Heligan and Eden Project. The hosts were lovely and informative and on hand to provide extra logs for the fire and eggs when needed. The property itself was fantastic, it has a great living space and two good sized bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen had all the utensils required for a weeks stay and we enjoyed eating in as much as out. The only negative was the property needed a more thorough clean before arrival oven and floors predominately. A hoover would have been helpful to have on hand thoroughout the stay to help with picking up sand etc when going to the beach.

Lieven

Black rock was a lovely cottage! The hosts were very accommodating. Beautiful location. It was exactly what we needed with a toddler and a young dog.

Melinda

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Rock, the accommodation was extremely comfortable. The location perfect for strolling down to the Eden Project. It's handy for the Lost Gardens of Heligan and south west path walks. We recommend the walks from Fowey to Polkerris and from Carlyon Bay to Charlestown. Our only disappointed was no logs were provided for the log burner but Tesco is just a few minutes away by car so we were able to buy logs and kindling there. The central heating was perfectly adequate, but we love a log fire. We hope to return to Black Rock next year.

Greeted by Paul on arrival we entered the cottage and were delighted at the attention to detail. Everything was immaculate and we settled in and lite the log burner, poured a glass of red and felt at home immediately. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The weather was a little wet so say the least but even when we werent out exploring the wonderful sights of the Cornish coast we quite happily settled down and stayed in. There was everything that was needed for a comfortable stay. Sadly due to Covid we were unable to access the hot tub but this is quite understandable. Thank you from Anne and Simon

Melvyn

Black Rock cottage is in a fabulous location with a lovely view of St Austell bay. The cottage was comfortable with modern amenities. We were however, disappointed that the advertised hot tub was not available, there was no washing machine in the cottage and the laundry facility was also not available. It might be a good idea to replace the dish washer with a washing machine. Much more useful. One more thing, we were there for two weeks and the bedding was not changed. Having mentioned these things I must say that we had a fabulous holiday and would definitely come again.

Reginald

We loved the cottage and its location. However, the kitchen had a complicated microwave without an instruction manual. A manual for the electric oven would also have been appreciated. We had an amusing conversation with the owners when the two elderly sofas were replaced by brand new ones just as we were leaving!

Charlotte

The cottage was really just perfect! Jane me Paul were very warm and welcoming but also not in the least bit intrusive. There was a cream tea laid out for our arrival and we felt at home right away! Bedding and towels were top quality and the beds were super comfy. We will be going back for sure
