We had a wonderful holiday, the cottage had everything we needed and was very well presented and cosy. We stayed as a family of four with two young girls and found the cottage in the ideal place for a nice walk to the local beach at Ayrmer cove.

Cottage very conformable and clean. It had all necessary amenities if required. We chose to travel to different places to eat as we were on holiday and I do not cook on holiday. Very nice place to stay.

Ringmore is a lovely quaint village with a 13th century pub and beautiful walks in and around the village. Rock cottage is a quirky cottage with lots of character and lovely walks from the door onto the south west coastal path. The garden is separate to the cottage along the path. The kitchen is really tiny and not particularly well equipped but weRead more managed to cook a few meals (one person at a time!) Nb As is common with old cottages the ceilings are quite low downstairs. Hide

This was the third time we stayed at the cottage and we enjoyed much needed relaxation each time. Excellent facilities and good location for walking or driving to nearby towns and beaches. Hope to come back next year.
