About this property
The Old Granary is a tranquil family holiday home, set on a small private estate within a short distance of Rock. This self-catering property is tastefully decorated with lovely bursts of colour and features. Spacious living accommodation, has been finished to a high standard within this traditional styled property. There is room for ten-eleven to sleep comfortably in five bedrooms with four bathrooms, so fabulous for two families to share with room to spare. Accessed via a private drive with a large garden and a sunny terrace to enjoy evening drinks or family BBQs. A footpath leads you down to the foreshore at Cant cove. Comfy sofas and a practical wood burner help to make the Old Granary a perfect house for all seasons. There is a wet room and a Jacuzzi bath for warming up after a bracing surf or fishing trip. Shared use of a communal tennis court is available too whenever it is free with no booking required. To explore the Camel estuary, bikes can be hired from Wadebridge or Padstow so cyclists can follow the old railway line all along the opposite bank of the river Camel. Imagine returning from a hard day at the beach or a bike ride to this beautiful setting and south facing garden with friends and family to BBQ and indulge in a glass or two of the local Camel Valley fizz.
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.

It is a very spacious and comfortable house set in lovely surroundings, and is extremely well equipped. It is clearly a family home and it was a pleasure to stay there.

Overall, the house was disappointing and in need of significant maintenance. By the end of the first 48h, the washing machine had flooded the utility room, a fridge wouldn't close and the dishwasher rotating arm and wheels had fallen off. Sykes sent out a member of John Bray to look at these issues, and the issue with the fridge was resolved. The electrics need to be looked at (when you turned the utility light on, the lights in the kitchen dimmed/turned off). The carpets need to be replaced (marks, dirty). The main issue was the living room. It smelt, the sofas were damp when we arrived and there were a lot of scatter cushions, many of which don't seem to have been washed in a number of years. The outdoor furniture cushions (which were also dirty) were left in a pile in the corner. Dirty throws. Dirty, marked rugs, dusty glitter ball (it didn't work because it was too dusty). No trampoline (as shown in pictures). Couldn't use coffee machine as parts were missing. These aren't all issues that can be resolved from a 'visit' whilst we are on our holiday, they should have been resolved before people spend good money on a stay. The owner needs to invest in a refurbishment and Sykes need to review their rating of the property/up their standards when it comes to cleaning.

Mattresses need changing, they are very lumpy and not good to sleep comfortably for 7 nights. The dinning table, chairs , cutlery and plates is not enough for the number of people that can sleep in the house. It should also be check. Great spot, very clean and overall a good property.
