About this property
Superbly located for enjoying this most exclusive area of Cornwall, in the village of Rock on the north east bank of the River Camel, opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow. This beautiful detached house set in delightful gardens is situated in a cul-de-sac in a quiet residential area of the village only five minutes walk from the centre and its high class shops. You walk through the front garden and enter this lovely house into the hallway which will take you into the spacious sitting room with a woodburner for those cooler evenings or winter nights after a walk along the beach. The conservatory adjoins the sitting room and overlooks the back garden offering a quiet spot for catching up with a good book. There is also a snug providing another escape. The well-equipped kitchen with adjoining utility room, a wet room for showering when coming off the beach or back from a day of watersports, and the charming dining area complete the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor there are three individual bedrooms with the master having a four poster bed and en-suite shower room. Outside the gardens really are a delight with even a little hideaway patio offering shade on those hot afternoons. Within a ten minute walk or a four minute drive is the ferry point with excellent restaurants including the Mariner's pub and the famous Blue Tomato. The mile long fine sand beach at Rock is fringed with dunes with water beautifully calm and clear making it a haven for all water based leisure pursuits. Fishing, windsurfing, water skiing, canoeing and rowing are all on offer although it is best known for its sailing, with everything from dinghies to luxury cruisers. Further along from the beach at Rock the safe bathing beach of Daymer Bay is sure to be a popular choice for families and offers a most enjoyable walk to and fro. For the essential trip to Padstow a trip across on the ferry is strongly advised; with pubs and top class restaurants you will be spoilt for choice. For a wonderful holiday to enjoy all this stunning area has to offer, a stay at Kilcarreg really is hard to beat whatever time of year.
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.

Every thing you need for a self catering stay. The two double rooms are at either end of the landing which offers a nice level of privacy. We enjoyed the amount of space in the property as a family of six. We stayed for a week and would happily stay for longer. The host Mrs H was contactable by phone and very pleasant.

Loved staying at Kilcarreg a beautiful house with plenty of room for the whole family, wet room showers were a bit difficult to control water running away, the house is well equipped with every need anticipated, plenty of parking for two cars and very private we didnât want to leave Thank you for a really great holiday
