Guests say
Slipway 10 in Rock, Cornwall, is a well-regarded holiday cottage with many guests returning for multiple stays. It boasts a great location with lovely views and is appreciated for its spacious and well-equipped kitchen/living area. The outdoor space is a highlight, though some outdoor furniture may need updating. While generally clean, a few guests suggested improvements in cleanliness and maintenance.
Cleanliness scores are generally high, with several guests mentioning the property being 'spotlessly clean' and 'beautifully clean'. However, there are a few mentions of the property needing a 'serious clean' and some areas being 'grubby', which brings down the score.
The location is frequently praised for its views and proximity to the beach, making it a desirable spot for many guests. There is a mention of noise from a nearby pub, but this seems to be a minor issue overall.
The property is generally considered comfortable, with a well-suited accommodation layout and a fabulous living area. The mention of bunk beds not being suitable for older children and some poor-quality duvets slightly affects the score.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the kitchen and living area. However, guests have suggested the need for a bigger toaster, a shower screen, and updates to some outdoor furniture. The lack of a travel cot and high chair for families was also noted.
There is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to score this category. Guests have not commented on any extra thoughtfulness that would warrant a score.

Someone came to look at it but issue not solved.

Clean and well maintained. Would very happily rebook this apartment. However we found it to be a little lacking in basic requirements, very little toilet paper provided, no salt and pepper, and no broom. These little additions would have made the place perfect!

As per the photos of the property we were expecting a restricted view from the balcony. However the photos failed to show the large & rather ugly pub to the left. Being a pub there was a fair amount of noise, mostly from the very large air extractors & staff moving barrels & disposing of glass bottles. As per previous reviews we would agree that the bathroom shower needs a screen and that some of the outside furniture is old & tatty & needs replacing. Despite this we had a great time in the property which is in a nice location.
