“Thank you for another wonderful week at Bodare 8.”

The property is superb and we really enjoy our time there. Everything is perfect for a beach location holiday.

“We have stayed at the property several times.”

It is a great property in a great location. Improvements could be the booking system getting back to pre covid timings ie getting in property earlier. The internal decoration was getting a bit tired, but the location more than makes up for it. Thanks for the stay.

“A) the ability to communicate with you is woeful- I rang three times to request a non allergenic duvet and pillows.”

Eventually after a week you said you could help but by then I was already travelling. You ask your clients to message- however as you failed to reply to my message your website will not allow me to message-- it still doesn't. B) Bodare 8 is a lovely flat but it is now tired. I have stayed there 3 times over the past 15 years and nothing has been updated. Eg the dishwasher broke on the Monday night due to blocked drain. I tried to ring 3 times and each time was put on hold. eventually on Wed pm I was eventually connected and presumably your plumber has fixed the dishwasher for the next tenant. We therefore had to wash up for 3 days. C) the main oven is still broken. We had dinner with the owner on the Monday night and he confirmed that he knew it about it.. D) the inventory is woeful. the Flat sleeps 9- there are 7 mugs, 4 tea cups, only 2 saucers!, 7 side plates and only 8 wine glasses. There was no cork screw - we had to buy our own. E) the main shower drain still runs v slowly F) the hose for washing wetsuits have all been removed.. G) the kitchen cupboard door is missing I know this sounds like a rant but this is a premium apartment that you are not looking after. Combine the above with the absolute impossibility of contacting anyone at John Bray or Sykes and I told the owner that you were not providing a service and he should consider another agent

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 and found it incredibly tough to get in contact with us, we never wish for this for any of our guests! Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays to review and inspect. We hope we can welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“Great location.”

Near to the beach. Lovely walks to Polzeath and Rock around the coast. Great for a family holiday.

“Property needs redecorating inside.”

Smaller wine glasses and dinner plates to fit in the dish washer. Provide basic salt, pepper and sunflower oil would be appreciated.

Thank you for letting us know about this, your feedback helps us do better. We are looking into this. John Bray Cornish Holidays on Behalf on the owner. Property Owner

The property

8 Bodare is a spacious and open plan holiday flat occupying the entire top floor of Bodare, formally a grand country house hotel by the sea.

The superb estuary views from the comfortable lounge and dining room, reach far over the river towards the white sands and the fields beyond.

Landscaped communal gardens run down to a footpath heading towards the quaint little St Enodoc Church, St Enodoc Golf Course or through the dunes to the beautiful family beach of Daymer Bay.

Furnished and equipped to a comfortable standard for 10 guests sleeping in 5 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms; 8 Bodare is a lovely self catering property for a big family get-together. The accommodation is adaptable for a combination of families with children or groups of couples.

There is a king size bedroom with en-suite bathroom/shower, two double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms both benefiting from Zip and Link beds which can be joined to create super king beds.

The kitchen is sleek and modern with a capacious cooker making cooking up holiday feasts for all the guests a breeze.

The dining room has bi-fold doors opening out to a glass-bordered balcony where you can watch the children play while gazing at the sea view and relaxing.

There's a private roof terrace to the rear and parking for 4 cars.Daymer Bay is a wonderful location for a family seaside holiday, where children and adults will find something new and exciting to do everyday, allowing plenty of time for relaxing in beautiful surroundings!

Windsurfing and kite boarding are popular on the beach at Daymer, particularly in the autumn.

Stand up paddle boarding has become an increasingly practised water sport year round and it's a wonderful way to explore the coastline from the water.

Polzeath has more than one surf school offering tuition and equipment while nearby Rock has sailing, water skiing and more calm water activities to suit everyone.

Floorplans

Ground Floor

Bodare

A fantastic located building in the heart of Daymer that was re-built as 8 flats in 2004/05. They all have car parking and individual outside space, either balconies or private garden areas, but they also all share a large sunny garden which has multiple areas of lawn around mature flower beds and trees. At the bottom of the garden a gate takes you onto the footpath to the beach or onward to the St Enodoc Church, Brea Hill, the Coast path to Rock or even the ferry to Padstow.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.

About the location

DAYMER BAY

Polzeath 1.3 miles; Rock 2.3 miles.

Daymer Bay and the village of Trebetherick were both loved by Sir John Betjeman and are unquestionably special. With a huge appeal to both the young and not so young, Daymer Bay has recently been voted one of the best beaches in the world! St. Enodoc Church, once buried in the sand, is within comfortable walking distance of Daymer Bay and is the resting place of Sir John Betjeman. Daymer Bay holds great appeal for wind surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders, with the gentle waves rolling up the estuary. There is enormous fun too for small children with buckets and spades and fishing in the rock pools. At low tide you can walk across the sand to the village of Rock to indulge in a spot of retail therapy or a bite to eat at one of the many delicious eateries, or catch the short ferry ride and explore the delights of Padstow. Up from the coast path as it runs from Daymer Bay is Highcliffe, nestling between Polzeath and Trebetherick, both of which boast a number of pubs, restaurants and village stores all offering a wide variety of fresh quality produce. The properties at Highcliffe have the advantage of being within easy reach of Daymer, Polzeath and Greenaway - Greenaway being the name given to the clifftop area, beach and small cove with rock pools overlooking the Atlantic beyond that lies between Daymer and Polzeath.

Please note that each of bedrooms 3 & 4 are made up as 2x single Zip & Link beds as standard. If you require these to be superking size bed, please contact us to advise.
