“This is a beautiful property.”

The open plan layout suited us perfectly for a family holiday. The property was clean and well maintained, and finished to a very high standard throughout. The addition of an outdoor hanging rail for wetsuits was much appreciated. We found the mattress in the master bedroom to be too firm so didn’t sleep well, but this is our personal preference. Overall this is one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in.

“My only feedback would be having seen all we have to do to help the cleaners !”

We walked in opened the window in lounge to find 3 bags of dog poo sat their on the wall by the back gate by garden area . The inside was perfect but the outside grass really needed a cut and the huge piece of slab over the tables which took 2 to remove and everything was really dirty I know their was bad wheather the week before but the cleaners have from 9am and other parties do not arrive till 4pm which I feel is enough time to prep everything for new people arriving The balcony from bedroom was the same very untidy had a broken twirly thing on the floor and table and chairs full of cobwebs and not cleaned It’s such a shame because the price we are paying for a week you would expect it looking on point the inside is so so nice and the area so lovely also

Very high quality and comfortable, an addition of a coffee table would benefit the lounge, overall pretty perfect and if I could I would give 6 stars

Our 3rd time at pentire two weeks this time lovely property in a nice village pity about the hundreds of crows that nest there really noisy from 4am till dark will take a crow scarer next time

- Russell, May 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back again for a 4th time. Sadly the crow issue is beyond our control but we appreciate the annoyance! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Jane May 2024

“The property was clean, but not hoovered properly, there were litters under table and by sofa.”

No mention was made of the constant noise of the hundreds of crows roosting in nearby trees, unable to enjoy sitting outside because of this. Also, first Sykes cottage we've visited that had no welcome pack, not even a teabag or pint of milk. Small village, beautiful but only public house permanently closed.

- Jane, May 2024
Russell April 2024

“This is the third time at Pentire in 12 months and we’ve enjoyed our stay on every occasion.”

My only complaint from our most recent visit is the state of the windows and the glass around the upstairs balcony, absolutely covered in bird poo, it looked awful, having said that we plan to return next month Russ from Derbyshire

- Russell, April 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back soon. We will look into the window cleaning situation. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“Pentire was the cleanest most well equipped house we have ever rented, the cleaners deserve a special mention, on entering the house you feel as if no body has rented the house previously, amazing!”

“Not a bad word to day about this lovely holiday home!”

Set in a lovely quiet village, with lots of footpaths to explore. Just an hour or so walk to Rock or Polzheath, which are both beautiful beaches. The house is clean and so well equipped, with all modern facilities. It was also nice to have a secure garden for our dog.

- Jenny, September 2023

Linda September 2023

“At first glance Pentire was amazing and was very well furnished and equipped.”

However, when we arrived our only ‘welcome’ was a note from the management company telling us to strip the beds when we left, it didn’t even say enjoy your stay! There was no Visitors Book and Information Pack, we’ve never stayed anywhere before that didn’t have this. We eventually found a few brochures in a drawer but not immediately to hand as they should have been. The Information Pack was eventually hand delivered late Thursday afternoon, we were leaving on the Friday but at least this maybe helpful for the next guests but no use to us. The grass was also not cut until the Thursday, no excuse really as the weather had been good prior to our arrival. The lounge sofa wasn’t particularly comfortable and whilst fine for two of us I don’t think it would seat more than four, possibly five. Great to have the pub so close by but this will be permanently closing very soon!

- Linda, September 2023
Robert July 2023

“Pentire is a beautiful, spacious and modern property.”

The bedrooms and kitchen/ dining area was a decent size for 6 adults. Please note that only 5 adults can sit comfortably on the sofa. The house was well-equipped with cutlery, utensils and cookware. We found instructions for the appliances in a drawer towards the end of the holiday. Having these placed on the counter upon arrival would have been very helpful. We appreciate its personal preference, but most of our party found the mattresses too hard and woke up with sore backs. A mattress topper would have been greatly appreciated. At the end of our stay, we followed the instructions, which had been left by John Bray Holidays, to remove the sheets from the beds and towels from the bathrooms. This was not a relaxing way to end the holiday, especially as checkout time is 9am. There either needs to be a later checkout time or do not ask guests to start the process of laundry. Please note, Pentire is advertised on the John Bray website as having parking for 3 cars and check-in time as 4pm. Our welcome email stated 2 cars and check-in time as 4:30pm. Please update the advert or the welcome email. Thank you. Overall, our stay at Pentire was enjoyable. It has a secure garden for any guests who wish to bring a dog. A downstairs toilet and utility room, which included a washing machine and tumble dryer were nice additions to the property.

- Robert, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these issues. Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays. Our apologies regarding the miscommunication with the check in/out times, they are in fact 4pm and 9.30am respectively so we understand the frustration! We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues and would love to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

“Lovely property, very comfortable and welcoming.”

Set in a lovely area with easy access to the beach and estuary. Nice outside area but be prepared for the very noisy crows if you sit outside.Would definitely stay again.

Mike April 2023

“Really enjoyed the stay, proximity to where wanted to go was excellent.”

Only concern was the living area settee that was uncomfortable to sit on. Also the fact that you had to get out all the facilities (e.g. outside table) and then put them all away was a little off putting. Nevertheless a nice play to stay.

- Mike, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are pleased to see you enjoyed the property, its location and your time in Cornwall. We are sorry you found the sofa uncomfortable - guests have not mentioned this previously but thank you for letting us know. Property Owner
Edyta March 2023

“Cottage was delightful - having holidayed in the Rock area for more than 25 years- this holiday home is right at the top of the list, for quality balanced with value.”

The mixed weather restricted outdoor activities- but everything was available. I would suggest a little more detail regarding the technology of kitchen appliances would be useful.

“I can only echo previous reviews in that this is a superb property finished and equipped to a very high standard that gives you everything you need for a lovely restful holiday for the whole family (including dogs).”

Everything has been thought of, just turn up with clothes, food and have a great holiday. My only criticism and this is nit picking really would be to have a manual with info' for all the more tecky equipment ie TV, cooker etc to aid the less teck' minded of us. This was a three generation + dog holiday which we all enjoyed immensely and we will be booking again for next year as soon as we can.

Denise May 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pentire and would love return in Summer 2023.”

The owners have thought of everything to make your stay welcoming and comfortable and the property is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The kitchen and utility room are equipped with top notch appliances and there's also everything you could need in the way of pans, utensils, crockery, glasses, cutlery, etc. The rest of the house is very tastefully furnished and, importantly, the beds are comfortable. Lovely bathrooms too We didn't have access to any of the garden equipment such as table & chairs and BBQ. Maybe a bit too early in the season? It didn't matter to us as the weather wasn't quite warm enough, so we wouldn't have used it anyway. St Minver is in a lovely area with Rock, Polzeath and Port Isaac being easily accessible by car. There are lovely coastal pathways nearby with stunning views over the Camel estuary towards Padstow or you can walk on the sand from Rock to Daymer Bay when the tide is out. If you book a holiday in this area you won't be disappointed and we would definitely recommend a stay at Pentire.

“The property is in the perfect location to get to lots of places.”

The house itself is excellent. There is everything you require in the property and the owners have definitely given this a lot of thought and effort. The quality of furnishings etc is to a very high standard. Beds are very comfortable, showers are amazing. Kitchen and living area are spacious, light and very modern. Outside area is safe and contained if taking a dog. This is possibly the best accommodation we have stayed in. Everything was very clean and new. It was a pleasure to return to after a lovely day out and about

“Beautiful home filled with top quality appliances and facilities.”

Loved that everything was locally sourced, from the crockery to the art work. Spotlessly clean. Only downside was that we couldn't really walk to anywhere so had to use the car everyday however the beach is only a 5 min drive. Would definitely recommend!

- Sarah, October 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave a wonderful feedback. Sorry to hear you had a lot of driving but hope you got wherever you were going safe and sound. Thank you for your recommendation. Property Owner

The property

Pentire is a fantastic three-bedroom holiday home enjoying a superb location in St.Minver in Cornwall.

Boasting a charming décor with playful nautical touches, a open-layout and a good selection of amenities just a stone’s throw away, Pentire is the perfect destination for group of friends or family of six and one furry canine companion to embark on a Cornish adventure.

Step into the entrance hall, where you can discard any coats and shoes after your journey, you will also find a convenient cloakroom for a quick freshen up.

Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, where you can play chef in the fully-functioning kitchen, with Smart Fridge and dishwasher, as you whip up a delicious feast.

On sunnier days, why not make dinner an alfresco occasion out on the private patio and fire up the barbecue?

Settle down to enjoy a satisfying meal in the glow of the central woodburning stove and discuss plans for the days ahead.

After your meal, retire to the generous corner sofa where you can catch up on your favourite TV series courtesy of the large Smart TV.

Completing the ground-floor is a utility room with tumble dryer and washing machine, perfect for popping sandy clothes on a spin after a day at the beach.

As your eyes grow heavy, retreat to the first-floor where you will find three beautifully decorated rooms, including a king-size with Smart TV, en-suite shower room and balcony, ideal for those looking for a peaceful moment, a king-size with a Smart TV and a twin, ensuring ample sleeping arrangements for all.

Wake-up with an indulgent soak in the bath or refreshing shower, before preparing for the day in style and setting out to explore.

Take your pick of gloriously sandy nearby beaches, with the villages of Rock and Polzeath both offering uninterrupted sands, perfect for soaking up the sun, beachcombing the shores or trying your hand at the local’s favourite activity, surfing at Polzeath.

Rock also offers sailing and water skiing along the River Camel which is sure to tempt any thrill seekers within your party.

Venture to nearby Port Quin, where you will find the impressive Doyden Castle which can be seen from the coastal path, a small 19th-century castle-style house which looks out over the sea.

From Port Quin you can embark on a guided canoe or kayaking tour and explore the magnificent surrounding waters of the coast.

Directly opposite Rock is the popular town of Padstow where you can travel to via the foot ferry from Rock slipway and is home to the National Lobster Hatchery, where you can even adopt your own hatchling.

Padstow is a picturesque harbour and a bustling town centre filled with shops, restaurants and pubs.

Brush up on the local area at the Padstow Museum which offers interesting exhibits and archives, hire a bike and cycle along the well-known Camel Trail offering 18-miles of incomparable views, or embark on a Sealife Safari where you can meet the dolphins that frequent the shores, ending the day with some fresh fish and chips and a cool beverage before pootling back across the Camel Estuary on the day ferry on in the summer months, evening water taxi.

A fabulous getaway along the Cornish Coast, be sure not to miss out on Pentire.

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