Guests say
Rainer Rocks is a well-regarded property, praised for its proximity to the beach and local amenities, spaciousness, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the comfort and the thoughtful touches like dog bowls, though some noted issues with cleanliness, hot water supply, and parking clarity. The property is ideal for family gatherings and offers a pleasant stay in Polzeath.
While many guests found the property clean and well-maintained, there were a few mentions of cleanliness issues such as hair in the wet room and an unpleasant smell in the kitchen. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach and local amenities, making it an ideal spot for beachgoers and those looking to explore the area. The convenience and desirability of the location are consistently noted across reviews.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with a spacious dining area and a well-thought-out living space. However, some guests mentioned issues with hot water availability and a whistling noise from the showers, which slightly impacted the overall comfort.
The property is generally well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but guests have suggested improvements such as clearer instructions for heating and rubbish disposal, and a better system for drying clothes. The need for a washing machine and tumble dryer was also mentioned.
The property has been noted for thoughtful touches like dog bowls and welcome treats, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, as such gestures may vary and are not guaranteed, they should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

As you ascend to the first floor, you are immediately wowed by the modern, coastal styling of the spacious open-plan living area, which features an impressive kitchen with island, dining area and sitting area complete with a multi fuel contemporary fire. This light and airy room is flooded with light from full length windows and patio doors leading out to two separate balconies, providing amazing spots to enjoy a morning coffee or evening cocktail, whilst listening to the sea in the distance.
Head upstairs to find the final two bedrooms, comprising of a master en-suite king-size double, and a super king-size double (which can be configured as twin beds*) with use of a separate shower room.
Ideal for families or a group of couples, you can enjoy shared use of two acres of communal grounds with breath-taking beach views, plus you can enjoy the use of a private footpath down to the beach, shops and restaurants of Polzeath, making this a wonderfully located beach retreat.

Providing the ultimate seaside getaway, a break at Rainer Rocks will leave you desperate to return again and again.
The seaside village of Polzeath boasts a sandy beach, which is bordered by rock pools and is acclaimed to be one of the best surfing beaches in the country. Polzeath itself has a number of small shops, cafes and restaurants, and the South West Coast Path, a 630-mile route, runs through the village. Just over seven miles away is the popular market town of Wadebridge, which is set alongside the River Camel and offers an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as North Cornwall's only family-owned cinema. There’s wonderful countryside in the area, with the renowned Camel Trail passing through the town, and the nearby town of Padstow, with its harbour, pastel-washed medieval houses and celebrated restaurants is well worth exploring. Within driving distance is the UK surfing capital of Newquay, with over 11 miles of golden sandy beaches. Polzeath is an excellent base for exploring this part of Cornwall.

The house was clean, had everything we needed throughout the week and is perfectly located for getting around the north coast of Cornwall. We loved looking out the front door at the beautiful Polzeath beach which is just a short walk away and also walked to the stunning Daymer Bay. We are especially grateful to the owners for allowing dogs to stay and very grateful for the welcome treats!

The living area is well thought through and we liked that there were plenty of plates, knives, forks etc. A great house for all generations. For the rent charged, however, we would expect there to be both a washing machine and a tumble dryer and a better system for hanging out clothes when the weather is dry. We holiday at least twice a year in Cornwall and this makes A HUGE difference given so much time is spent getting wet - whether intentionally or due to the Cornish drizzle. A larger freezer is also needed when catering for 8 people.
