Cornwall Self Catering cottage, Rock House, Tintagel, sleeps 4

Rock House - Trebarwith
Staying here was a dream come true for me. I had often visited Trebarwith as a child with my parents and then with my own children and more recently with my grand children. My wife found and booked The Rock for me and I was over the moon. I love Trebarwith Strand, the history, the cliff top views, the history and always wanted to stay here, as close to the sea as possible. I was so excited to stay here. We arrived (from Manchester) after a bad storm, to find the cottage in darkness. We struggled in the dark to light a fire and find some candles. The village had suffered a power cut in the storm and we had lost internet access and phone coverage. I wouldn't have minded the power cut but we couldn't make a cup of tea (essential for anyone from Manchester), we had been left three small logs for the fire (lasted 20 minutes) and had to drive round for an hour to find shops open to buy more logs. Although the power was back on the next day, there would be a further three power cuts over the week. On the last day, I slipped on rocks on the beach and broke my hand. Having said all this, I would still highly recommend The Rock. Great accommodation, magical setting, brilliant facilities. Maybe invest in gas camping stove.

Terrific dog friendly cottage just a stumble from the beach
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the cutlery drawer! :) Two of us and a dog had a wonderful stay in Rock House in Mid-June and were able to completely relax. On arrival, Karen, who had prepped the cottage had left a loaf of fresh bread, scones, cream and a plentiful supply of Nespresso pods for the coffee machine (All of which were fully caffeinated - we LOVE you Karen!) The cottage has two bedrooms with a double and a twin - the twin is larger and easier to sleep in for that reason but both are v comfortable. The rear patio, while unfinished, is secluded and quiet and I was able to use it for my weight bench during our stay. Parking is immediately behind the property but you need to walk about 200 metres as there is no access from the rear - not a problem for brief periods of loading and unloading (During the summer you CAN park outside overnight) The Saturday change over day was a boon, judging by the friday traffic we saw on the way down (we stayed the night before our week at the Mill House Inn, another great, dog-loving location) It's a fabulous location, all of 20 yards from the start of the inlet and about 7 yards from the icecream shop (I averaged 2.5 cones a day) We're booking again next year to coincide with a full, supermoon so the tides will be lower and higher respectively :)
