Nice property, excellent location. Beach may not suit people with mobility issues, very rocky.Although kitchen was quite well equipped we felt it lacked a few things eg another chopping board, some much smaller coffee cups rather than half litre mugs would have been a good idea! We would return if a few little things were changed.

We have stayed at the Rocket House for many years and have always loved it. This time was no different. It is such a lovely cottage set in a wonderful location. So peaceful and near the beach. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Tremayne.

The Rocket

The Rocket cottage was everything we’d hoped for ! Fantastic location looking out over the sea, good access to the beach below which is dog friendly, what more could we ask for. The cottage was peaceful, cosy and warm, internet connection a little weak in places but we managed. The bed was comfortable and having access to a washer dryer was a bonus. Portwrinkle is a beautiful spot to explore northern Cornwall and we would definitely recommend The Rocket cottage as a place to stay, we loved it !

Lovely little bolt hole

We had a lovely few days away with our dog. Added bonus was the small harbour which allowed for fishing and family swims ( us and the dog together!) .. perfect to be able to walk back up to the house in a towel robe fir a nice hot bath! Accommodation had everything we needed and was as comfortable , the bed was very comfy. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for an escape away.. we had some lovely dog walks, a super Sunday roast in the local pub and lots of fresh air!

Great cottage with a wonderful sea view

This is our third stay at the Rocket House and yet another enjoyable stay. Just two suggestions, but in no way complaints. Maybe invest in a freesat plus box and perhaps sort out the bench and rope fence to the front of the house as it is looking a bit tired. Everything else is perfect and we will stay again.

a dream with a sea view

A very nice cottage with good facilities. Unfortunately, there were no staple foods such as sugar, flour ... and spices. The windows could be cleaner and the bench in front of the house was broken and not usable. Nevertheless, the cottage is highly recommended.

Perfect beach front tranquil location

First holiday in 5 years and it exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by the views from The Rocket House and fell in love with the location. Hearing the waves from the large windows was bliss! The locals and other holiday makers were some of, if not the most, friendliest people we have met. We felt like we were in our own little bit of paradise. There was everything we needed at the property, very clean, bright, open and the perfect size for the two of us and our labrador. We rarely find anywhere we would return to but we will definitely be returning here! Great coastal walks from the doorstep and access to secluded beaches. A perfect base for the weekend Diana and Julian

Lovely location.

Such a lovely location. Loved the beach and walks nearby. Cottage comfortable but it would have been helpful to have a folder of instructions especially for the washing machine/dryer and the heating as well as recycling. Also would be nice to have some local recommendations. I think for the cost of the cottage these little personal touches would add to the experience as would some milk in the fridge on arrival. Steve the property manager was fab sorting out our satellite issue with the TV on our first day.

A much needed break.

I found The Rocket house online, the size and location were perfect. I am happy to say it was just as I had hoped, just right for a couple and pet pooch. The beach is literally across the road and a great place to relax. I sat many times having a brew with the windows open listening to the sea. The parking space makes it even better. We stayed the first week of September and it was pretty quiet. People do use the area opposite as a drop off and pick up for the beach and of course some are quite ignorant and rude. We are hoping to stay there again next year all being well. A fantastic holiday destination.

Very comfortable stay

Even though we were down in Cornwall just on business we still managed to have a stroll on the beach which is literally on the doorstep. The cottage we found to be very cosy and warm with plenty of appliances, didn’t lack for anything, apart from you could do with larger towels though ( and that’s not because we’re fat ) We were very fortunate with the weather for late October, but unfortunately unable to sit on the bench at the front as it was broken. We would’ve given you a 5 for cleanliness but on first impression on arrival, we saw the broken bench, overgrown lawn with several large patches of weeds. Definitely a great place to stay if you like walking, surfing or generally being by the sea. Loved it.

This Property Deserves More Than 5 Stars

We've just arrived home after a long week-end staying at the Rocket House. What a fantastic position - it's right across the road from the beach - although the beach is grit not sand but there are many many rock pools to explore or just walk and enjoy the roar of the sea. The house is very clean, has everything to hand in the kitchen and the bed was so comfortable plus there is ample storage so it's so easy to keep tidy, The owners have even left several board games for you to take advantage of should you require five minutes relaxation. Unfortunately at this time of the year you take a chance with the weather but it certainly didn't stop us from taking our walks. This property is a little gem and I hope we will be able to return here again in the Spring. Would definitely recommend this lovely property.

Fantastic place with stunning views

The view of the coastline blew us away as we turned down the road to Portwrinkle. If you like rugged views with amazing beaches in a quiet village this place is for you! We loved watching the sea and to hear the waves 24/7 was amazing. The property had everything we needed and was well equipped including a dishwasher, decent internet speed and smart TV. Phone signal is poor but we switched on Wi-Fi calling and this worked perfectly. Slightly disappointed that the garden bench at the front of the property wasn’t usable as was falling to pieces and was mentioned in a review over 6 months ago. The standard of cleaning wasn’t brilliant either and the bed was rock hard. The above points don’t detract from a 5 star review and it’s a wonderful place to stay

comfortable in a slightly desolate setting

Avoid Plymouth and Loue. Be aware that right there at the cottage there is no phone coverage. You have to drive to the top of the hill above the hotel and try different spots. Do not attempt that drive near or "on the hour" as it is a long one lane road and a huge red bus hurtles down. Do not take the google maps shortcut, only come down from the top of the hill above the hotel. Then just keep going till you see it. Make doubly sure you receive the code for entry well before arriving - you may have to ask for it and you cannot once you get there. Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks for your comments Brett - there is very limited telephone coverage at the property, but there is fibre optic broadband, so if future guests have a telephone that can handle internet calls it might be worth downloading an app to be able to make or receive them.

We have stayed in this property many times before but it never fails to impress us. It is very comfortable and the location is wonderful. We love it in Portwrinkle. It is such a lovely quiet place. It’s wonderful to see the sea from the window and the beach is just two minutes away. Love to go beach cleaning in the mornings! Hopefully we will go back again early next year. Thank you Tremayne.
