About this property
Puffin Cottage is an attractive semi-detached, self – catering property in a quiet location in Rock village. The accommodation is comfortable and furnished to a high standard with room to sleep six-seven guests in three bedrooms with two bathrooms. A bright, sunny conservatory with French windows looks out onto a South-West facing sun terrace and enclosed, gated garden with lovely rural and sunset views, along with ample parking. The nautical inspired main bedroom has a king size bed with an en-suite shower room, another bedroom offers twin beds, with a double bed in the third bedroom. There is a modern well-equipped kitchen, which is open plan to include the dining area and a separate sitting room, which benefits from an open fire to curl up in front of on Winter evenings. Rock is an exciting holiday destination with so many activities to enjoy from the fantastic beaches, rambling along the coast or rural footpaths, and golfing to testing your nerve on the high seas, while surfing, water skiing or sailing. A short drive down to Rock's sailing scene and the beauty of the Camel estuary can fill your days, be it on the water or watching family from the comfort of one of the many restaurants or cafes nearby. Wadebridge is worth a visit, the gateway to the wonderful Camel trail that runs along 18 miles of Cornish country and riverside. Padstow is a short hop across the estuary by passenger ferry and Polzeath and Port Isaac are also close by.
Rock is a desirable and much sought after coastal village located on the north eastern bank of the River Camel opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow which is easily reached by a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling. Continuing on a sporting theme, the golf course at nearby St Enodoc is considered to be one of the best in the country. With an abundance of world class beaches all within a short radius it is easy to see why Rock holds its popularity.

Location was perfect for us, the bakers and pubs nearby. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed. We appreciated the information packs and had a few trips based on the recommendations suggested. We hope to return. Thank you

Whilst the cottage was nice, it was not well equipped or particularly clean. There were cobwebs, the main bedroom shower needs resealing, thoroughly cleaning and a new door. There is an obvious ant problem and the patio was unpleasant to sit on'.

We did not feel the need to contact at the time as fortunately all other bathrooms in good working order. We had a great stay, the cottage and garden was spacious, ample parking and clean. The information provided was useful, we had great fun exploring the area, surfing and crabbing. Downside considering the cost was bringing/organising our own linen as making beds on holiday as a parent is no fun but wasnât too bad really and seems a lot of holiday letâs operate in a similar way, but was a first for me. We would recommend and return so thank you !
