The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though there were mentions of a damp smell and an ant issue in the utility room. These isolated incidents suggest room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to the beach, local shops, and scenic views, making it an ideal base for exploring Rock and the surrounding areas.
The property offers a comfortable stay with a practical layout and a conservatory that's appreciated on sunny days. However, some guests found the beds too firm and the third bedroom cramped, indicating that comfort could be enhanced.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious living areas. Nonetheless, guests noted worn garden furniture, a small TV, and a lack of hot water until the evening, suggesting that some facilities require attention and maintenance.

About this property
Corriana is a light and spacious, detached bungalow with a generously-sized garden, located at the end of a private lane and just a short walk from the dog-friendly Rock Beach on the North Cornwall Coast. Accommodating up to six guests, Corriana is well-positioned near the village’s amenities, making it a wonderful base for couples, friends, and families alike. The large, open-plan living/dining room is a delightful, relaxing space, with two sets of French windows opening onto the garden. The adjoining conservatory is a real suntrap, and the patios and garden provide plenty of outside space to catch both the morning light and the evening sunsets; garden furniture will allow for long, lazy evening meals outdoors. There’s also three bedrooms on offer, including a king-size with en-suite, a further king-size and a twin, all serviced by a bathroom and cloakroom. Situated just off the Rock Road, it's an easy walk to picturesque Porthilly Beach and the Camel Estuary. The nearby shops are a short stroll away, and just a little further are a choice of excellent restaurants, several cafes and pubs serving food all day. The small grocery store, the famous Rock Bakery, a fishmonger, delicatessen and butchers are also within walking distance from Corriana. Padstow is a fun ferry-ride across the estuary where you can explore the harbour and enjoy a portion of Rick Stein's fish and chips. Wadebridge is 5 miles away, a delightful, small town on the Camel Trail cycle route. The St Enodoc and The Point at Polzeath golf courses are within a short drive. This is an ideal base for a family holiday, for walking, sailing, and surfing on the spectacular North Cornish coast. All of this can be experienced from Corriana.
Settled on the banks of the River Camel, directly opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow, rests the desirable village of Rock. Home to a fabulous selection of elegant restaurants and boutique stores, Rock offers all of the essentials to its visitors. Avid outdoor adventurers will be delighted with the plethora of watersport opportunities available, including windsurfing and sailing, whilst the famed golf course of St Enodoc rests on land nearby.

The bungalow offered comfortable accommodation with a very practical layout. The conservatory was a real bonus on days that were sunny, but windy. Corriana is extremely well situated with delightful views and easy walks to excellent local shops and beaches. We found it to be a very peaceful location which was perfect for us and the dog. If we could make one improvement it would be the bed in bedroom1 which we found too firm. However, we enjoyed our stay so much we have already made a booking to return.

Large spacious lounge/kitchen. Twin bedroom has no storage space. En-suite shower door needs new seal, difficulty in opening door. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Coriana.

A bit back from the Rock road and a beautiful view of the estuary from the kitchen. Would definitely stay again.
