    “Overall a nice cottage that would get 4 stars if it were not for the storage heating system.”

    We arrived to a freezing cold cottage with storage heaters that had no heat at all apart from the one in the main sitting room, which was struggling to cope. It was telling that there were two electric heaters, a quick phone call for help to the office and the maintenance guy arrived to advise us on how to use them and deliver another heater. If you don’t want to boil at 2 in the morning make sure you adjust them before you go to bed. The rooms were either cold or too hot for the whole stay ...

If you don’t want to boil at 2 in the morning make sure you adjust them before you go to bed. The rooms were either cold or too hot for the whole stay which made it a less relaxing than it might have been otherwise because the sitting room is nicely furnished. The kitchen was also cold as there is no heating close enough to make an impact on a cold Feb morning. The beds were comfortable and the upstairs bathroom was nice, but the downstairs shower room was freezing again so only used it when really needed. Only odd things were the square dinner plates that were too big for the dishwasher and the washing up bowl was too big for the sink so a bit of a faff to wash up. Otherwise the kitchen seemed well kitted out. The outside space looked nice but we didn’t use it being February.

The property

St Michaels is a charming slate hung holiday cottage set half way down Porthilly Lane within a short stroll of the peaceful Porthilly beach.

It offers off road parking for two vehicles and a sunny enclosed sheltered courtyard perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea.

This pleasant coastal retreat can sleep 6 guests in three bedrooms, with one of the bedrooms located on the ground floor alongside a shower room.

Porthilly is ideally situated being adjacent to the thriving holiday destination of Rock, with all the water sport activities it offers.The ground floor bedroom has twin beds, there are two first floor bedrooms; one with bunk beds and the other has a spacious king size bed plus the family bathroom.

This coastal cottage oozes character with its low beamed ceilings, shallow doorways and thick walls.

The sitting room is comfortably furnished to relax in after a long day in the exhilarating Cornish air, and in the winter months; snuggle in the warmth of the multi fuel burning stove.

The gentle amble down to the pretty little cove at Porthilly is wonderful for birdlife, you can see the oyster beds and buy them direct from the farm down by the beautiful St Michaels church.If the gentle pace of life down at Porthilly is not enough for the more adventurous members of your party you can check out the surfing and coasteering at nearby Polzeath or have a go at kitesurfing or windsurfing at the glorious Daymer Bay.

Simply stroll around to Rock at low tide from Porthilly and take the delightful ferry journey to the busy fishing port of Padstow to satisfy the foodies with all its restaurants and delicatessens.

Rock itself has plenty of options for eating out, walk up to The Dining Room or the St Enodoc Hotel for a special supper and be home within 5 minutes.

St Michaels is a perfectly situated spot from which to enjoy the area.Accommodation:Ground Floor: Kitchen/Breakfast Room Sitting Room Bedroom 1: Twin Beds Shower Room with W.C.

About the location

ROCK

Padstow 1.5 miles via ferry; Polzeath 2.8 miles; Wadebridge 6.2 miles.

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.
