Leave ReviewGood value for money
By Juliet and family on 30-Nov-2024November 2024 Juliet and family, UK A beautiful house in the most idyllic location. Very clean and and wonderful welcome pack after a long journey. For a very special occasion it was good value for money. Very much as you would expect from the website photos. We just wanted to say we had a fabulous time staying at On the Rocks. We made many wonderful memories in a beautiful house in the most idyllic location- the perfect place to mark my husband’s 60th birthday!
A beautiful home and amazing hosts
By Gem and family on 06-Jan-2026Halamana / House on the Rocks Is a beautiful home with all you could need and more. The house was absolutely spotless on arrival and the hosts were amazing when we needed them. The cute welcome pack on arrival was a beautiful touch. From the bedding to the knives and forks the house shines out seaside elegance. We cannot wait to visit in the summer. Thanks for everything Joanna
It is a fantastic house in a fantastic location
By Carol and family, Oxon on 30-Sep-2024We have now stayed at On the Rocks three times and have just booked our fourth visit. It is a fantastic house in a fantastic location; I wish it was mine! The owner is always very helpful which makes everything very smooth.
Fabulous house and location
By Paul and family on 30-Apr-2025April 2025 fabulous house and location, Joanna was a pleasure to deal with. We had a great chill out time fishing, swimming, paddle boarding and walking House has everything you need, including super comfy beds and great views. Joanna recommended Leonie and Neil for the Greehouse in St Keverne as a private for a birthday meal at the house. meal was fantastic I would recommend a family group stay at this location
A unique and incredible property
By Ray and family, Michigan, USA on 01-Jan-2026This is a truly unique and incredible property, perfect for large families or groups. If anything, the beautiful photos in the listing fail to adequately capture just how nice the property and its idyllic waterfront setting are. Joanna’s home is a perfect base for enjoying the southern reaches of Cornwall, or just relaxing in the home itself and drinking in the scenery. Our group particularly enjoyed sitting outdoors alongside the water/coastal inlet, and watching the dramatic tidal shifts. The kids in our group absolutely loved the area: plenty of interesting things to see and do in the tidal flats, and enjoyed brisk swims when the tide was in.
I have been pining for the house and creek
By Richard and Guest on 01-Jun-2024I have been pining for the house and the creek ever since I left - a slice of heaven on this earth. Incredible to have everything you want to do in Cornwall from boating to swimming to walking to wildlife spotting (a seal came to say hi one day!) literally on the doorstep. The house is comfortable and there's a view to die for from almost every room. The roof terrace for a morning cup of tea was a particular highlight. The sun shone for our stay and we thought - Caribbean eat your heart out... but I imagine even in the English cloud and grey it would still be stunning. I can't imagine not coming back.
