“We had a good week at Longhouse bungalow in terms of its location.”

It's really close to the shops but very quiet and peaceful. We walked down to Rock harbour and Porthilly cove several times and enjoyed its proximity to the estuary. Sadly, the bungalow was very musty which made it a difficult week for me as I do have lung problems and react to damp. I was unable to sleep in the double bedroom so used the twin room which was less bad. Returning home, everything has had to be washed twice to get rid of the smell.

It's really close to the shops but very quiet and peaceful. We walked down to Rock harbour and Porthilly cove several times and enjoyed its proximity to the estuary. Sadly, the bungalow was very musty which made it a difficult week for me as I do have lung problems and react to damp. I was unable to sleep in the double bedroom so used the twin room which was less bad. Returning home, everything has had to be washed twice to get rid of the smell. Even though there were plug in diffusers, these weren't enough to remove the overall problem. Otherwise, the bungalow was really well stocked with everything you might need, the kitchen was fantastic and the bathrooms were both very nice. All rooms a lovely size and very comfortable.

“We stayed here end September for a few day on a last minute break and were really pleased to have found Longhouse Bungalow.”

The bungalow is lovely and spacious with comfy sofas and nice and warm. The kitchen is really well equipped for cooking. However, there is nothing provided at all, so pack salt and pepper, oil and condiments. The showers are very good and refreshing after a long day out, please note shower units not bath/showers. The bedding and towels are good quality. I found the mattress in the front double bedroom to be fabulous, but my husband didn't. Mattresses are a personal things I suppose. The bungalow is located down a short lane, the garden is great for star gazing, there is a field further down the lane too which we went to, to see the stars. The only improvement I would suggest is to address the damp/musty smell, which we thought might be from the carpet. Other visitors have noted this too. It wouldn't put me off staying here again though. I can see why people return to the bungalow, its a great property in a great location. We ate locally at the Pityme Inn pub and also at the Cracking Crab in Polzeath. The closest supermarket is at Wadebridge, locally there is a bakery, butcher and general store. A fish and chip shop at the end of the lane. From Rock there is a foot ferry service across to Padstow for £3 per person. Takes 4 minutes to cross. There are great walks around the area which we did a few of. There are two helpful books at the bungalow to help choose which to do. Tintagel Castle is not far and a good place to visit. Lots of steps to be aware of. I was suggested to look at John Bray by a friend and I'm definitely glad I asked her. I guess I owe her a bottle of wine.

Roger September 2024

“We had a very comfortable stay Long House Bungalow.”

I would have enjoyed seeing the garden in its heyday. We were so lucky with the weather and enjoyed several walks both side of the estuary and coming back to sit in the sun. The light went out one night in the bathroom but as soon as it was reported to John Bray the bulb was replaced within the hour. I also reported that both freezers were solid with ice. And we also discussed the garden particularly the BBQ seating area. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

“We had a great holiday and really enjoyed our stay at Longhouse Bungalow.”

This property was one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in and was so comfortable - the beds were lovely! We found the bungalow was ideally situated for exploring the local area and we were not short of things to do. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Charlotte May 2024

“We loved Longhouse.”

The location was great, shops round the corner and about a mile down to Rock beach. The beds were super comfy which can be hard to find in holiday homes. The bungalow was very spacious and we loved the enclosed garden for our dog. We arrived super lay at night but the instructions were very clear and we got into the property easily. We will definitely stay there again another time

We felt very relaxed and comfortable there and would love to come again. Thank you.

Jacqueline May 2024

“We found the bungalow to be spacious, light and clean.”

It has plenty of facilities and the kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed our stay and found it to be conveniently located for all our trips around Cornwall. The garden is large and secure so our dog was happy. However the garden would benefit from a really good tidy up as everything is quite overgrown and the paving is very uneven. I would also say that it's not really child friendly. Other small suggestions for improvement would be to add some shelves in the showers to hold our shower toiletries as I found it difficult to bend down as I had a couple of cracked ribs. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows and bedding. Generally it was a very nice place to stay and would definitely book again when we return to Cornwall.

Sarah April 2024

“The holiday home we had chosen and paid for was incorrectly listed with you advertising a downstairs bedroom so when we arrived we had to change to this property due to a person in our party having mobility issues.”

This was extremely stressful after a 6 hour drive to get here and really not a great start to our holiday - despite being assured by yourselves that this property would be ready for our arrival when we got there we found all the beds were unmade with no linen anywhere to be found and showers unusable as drains were all out - we again had to make more calls to get this rectified and ended up getting linen delivered later that night and showers made good but we had to make all the beds up ourselves- this property was not what we would of chosen had we not been put in this situation by your incorrect listing- We lost the location, the views, the nice new property with open plan living, log burner, luxury holiday living and instead had to go to a smelly, damp and cold property- we would like to hear back from you regarding some form of compensation to make up for your mistake.

J September 2023

“On arrival we were disappointed that the garden was littered with leaves and the outdoor furniture was not clean.”

The house smelt strongly of damp as soon as we entered. There were grey mould spores on two double room walls and mould running along the ceilings and walls in the back bedroom and bathrooms and on tiles. We complained to the agents by phone on the Sunday and in person on Monday . We got no response so visited the agents again on tuesday . My husband was having breathing problems consequently and had to sleep on a mattress on the living room floor for the duration of our stay and we communicated this with the agents. It was agreed when the agents visited the property that there was a mould and damp problem . A dehumidifier was provided and the smell slowly improved during the rest of the week.

- J, September 2023

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. We're very sorry that you had to experience these issues during your visit but thank you for your patience and understanding whilst we tried to sort them for you. Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays and to the owner. Following this, the shower leak has been fixed and the bungalow has been given a fresh decoration. A new ventilation system has been fitted to ensure better flow of air around the property and a new floor is being installed in the kitchen during January 24'. We hope to welcome you back to north Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Linda August 2023

“Disappointed as not cheap to hire so expected better as back bedroom has black mould coming through the wall.”

Kitchen floor has crack along most of floor. Lounge blinds have a slat missing and one chewed. Bathroom has what looks like massive water leak above ceiling, ceiling looked very damp in front of shower and window. Front gate latch doesn’t work properly. Blue cushion on settee zip was broken. These all seem small things but when you are paying a lot of money for week you expect better. The bungalow itself was lovely and roomy and beds very comfortable.

- Linda, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you found the bungalow spacious and the beds comfortable, but are very sorry to hear that you experienced some issues during your stay.

Norah May 2023

“We had a wonderful holiday in the bungalow but had some problems with the cooker switch and TV controller but the maintenance man came out very quickly.”

We also had trouble with hot water which seem to be unavailable some times. One evening we could not have showers because not hot water but in the morning it was Ok. We are elderly and needed to be careful on the patio some loose slates. Otherwise the bungalow was comfortable and pleasant.

Andrew September 2022

“Pleasant bungalow and in a great location to visit all of Cornwall, has everything you need from a dishwasher to a washing machine.”

Starting to look tired, needs the bathrooms refreshing, string around the shower head to keep it up was a little odd and the garden needs some TLC.

- Andrew, September 2022

“Really enjoyed the stay at the cottage!”

There are a couple of general maintenance issues new toilet seat in main bathroom required as the existing has been repaired, shower hose holder doesn’t work and has cotton tied round it , and en-suite shower is slow to flow away . Apart from that we loved it and could go again.

The property

This delightful bungalow lies in the coastal village of Rock, Cornwall.

Boasting a light and airy interior, Longhouse Bungalow welcomes families and couples seeking a relaxed escape to Cornwall, with easy access to a beach and the coastal town of Padstow across the Camel Estuary via the Black Tor foot ferry.

Discover the spacious kitchen/diner, providing ample worktop space and all the necessary appliances to whip up something tasty, including an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge, while you can find a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility room.

After a hearty feast, settle down in the light and airy sitting room, appointed with two sofas in front of a woodburning stove, plus a wall-mounted Smart TV for family movie nights.

Wash away the day in the shower room before retiring to the bedrooms to catch your rest, with the choice between a super-king-size with zip/link beds, a double with en-suite shower and a twin, each finished with neutral furnishings and light bed linen.

To the exterior of this Rock cottage is the enclosed garden patio, complete with table and chairs so you can enjoy alfresco dining on a balmy evening.

While away the hours on the beach, with Rock Beach just 1.4 miles away, leading around via Daymer Bay to the popular Polzeath Beach 2.4 miles, all providing soft sands and the latter with great surfing conditions.

Meander along scenic coastal paths and stumble across hidden coves and panoramic views that are worth capturing.

If taking the foot ferry to Padstow during your stay, why not stroll or hire a bike and take the Camel Trail to view the Camel Estuary, from Padstow to Rock down the river to Wadebridge, where you can spot the rare Tregunna bird hiding within the Amble marshes.

While in the harbour town you can visit the famous Lobster Hatchery or indulge in some fresh fish and chips as you watch the boats sail out of the harbour.

For a charming holiday to enjoy all that this stunning area has to offer, a stay at Longhouse Bungalow provides all you could need.

The bed configuration will be made up as per the description.

If you require the beds to be made up differently, please inform us at least 7 days prior to your arrival date.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

Rock is a desirable and much sought after coastal village located on the north eastern bank of the River Camel opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow which is easily reached by a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling. Continuing on a sporting theme, the golf course at nearby St Enodoc is considered to be one of the best in the country. With an abundance of world class beaches all within a short radius it is easy to see why Rock holds its popularity.
