Seastar is a truly beautiful holiday haven on the North Cornwall coast in Rock. With a spacious and stylish interior, you can experience relaxed, coastal living that flows throughout the property, and continues into the enclosed garden area with the added luxury of a hot tub (on request at an additional weekly charge). Well-situated within very easy walking distance of The Pityme Inn pub/restaurant and just a moments’ drive from the glorious sandy beaches, golf courses and local amenities, Seastar provides a great base from which to explore the area. This wonderful home is found at the beginning of the Rock Road, leading you down towards the waterfront shops, restaurant, and beach activities. The contemporary living spaces flow throughout the ground floor combining wooden floors, fresh white walls, and calming pastel tones, to create that perfect holiday ambience. The sleek kitchen and dining area provide a great space to meet your culinary needs with a centre island and handy breakfast bar for your morning coffee. Slide back the full-length, bifold doors, creating that light and airy feel, encouraging guests to head out onto the patio and garden for some alfresco dining. Seastar provides two living options with a separate snug/ TV room, filled with board games and books, and a living area with plush sofas, a Smart TV and woodburning stove, perfect for those cooler evenings. The first-floor hosts four beautiful bedrooms, each with soft, calm interiors and luxurious beds prepped ready for your holiday; an elegant master bedroom with a super-king-size, four poster bed and an en-suite shower; a double en-suite bedroom; a further double bedroom and tailored, double bunk room that share a family bathroom. Scenic coastal walks are all around with each new route promising better views, so make sure to pack your walking boots. For sailing, power boating and water-skiing head to the Rock Sailing Club or the Camel Sailing and Powerboat Centre. At Rock you can also catch the ferry across to Padstow to explore this vibrant harbour town and its many fine restaurants, including Rick Steins and Paul Ainsworth. In the evenings, catch the water taxi home against a backdrop of twinkling lights. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy The St Enodoc Golf Club or The Point at Polzeath Golf Club, both within walking distance from Seastar. For some pampering head to the spa at St Enodoc Hotel or The Point at Polzeath for some me-time. Surfers and paddle boarders will prefer Polzeath beach further around the headland where Atlantic swells produce some of Britain's best waves. Experience all of this, and more, at Seastar.
Rock is an attractive coastal community on the north eastern bank of the River Camel, directly across from the famed port town of Padstow, which is easily accessible via a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities, with top-notch restaurants and boutiques, the true lure is the variety of watersports available, such as sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, and angling. It's easy to see why Rock is so popular, with so many world-class beaches all within a short distance.

I have sent several emails and had no reply from The garden furniture was dangerous and not maintained I have taken photograpic evidence of repairs and one chair the metal went into my sons back when he sat on it on our first day which could have ruined the holiday We loved the house although the traffic noise and workmen on adjacent house did spoil our holiday

Property next to road into Rock so can be noisy if windows left open at night.
