Schoopers is set amongst rolling green fields on the edge of the Camel Estuary, tucked away down a country lane at Gentle Jane, just five minutes from Rock. Here you have just one neighbour, making this the perfect place to escape the crowds. Wadebridge is fifteen minutes away where you will find all the amenities you need for a holiday in pure comfort.
The property is a comfortable family home. Enjoy wonderful views of the estuary from the sitting room, or head out to the balcony: the perfect spot to sit and take in the surrounding countryside. The kitchen also shares these views so you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast while soaking in the Cornish countryside. In colder months, cosy up in front of the wood burning stove and watch the rise and fall of the estuary outside.
The house sleeps six across three beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is spacious with a large en-suite. The room is styled with soft blue and cream tones complimented by wooden furniture. The second bedroom is traditionally decorated with wooden furniture. From here, enjoy views stretching across the lush valley and down to the estuary. The third bedroom is a twin room decorated in cream, surrounded by greenery outside.
A bubbling stream follows a large garden and woods down to the shore, where you’ll find your own shared private shingle beach. Along the way is a Trademan's Caravan dating back to 1920's, we respectfully ask that this is not to be used by guests, but out front is the perfect picnic spot. This is perfect for launching a kayak, fishing, skipping stones, wildlife spotting, picnics and general exploration. In the spring and summer, the well established gardens come alive with a whole host of bright flowers and foliage, from golden daffodils to beautiful magnolia trees. With stunning views and a truly unique location, Schoopers is most certainly a hidden gem of the Cornish coastline.

The property is in a wonderful site, the long gardens down to the estuary were a children's paradise, and we had fantastic BBQs on the beach. At low water there was great sand banks to roam over, which again the children loved. The beaches nearby were lovely and a Michelin star restaurant in Rock. The best recommendation I can give....we have already booked Schoopers for next year!

Character house in beautiful, secluded location. We had a wonderful week at Schoopers. It has a 'Swallows and Amazons' feel with a secret path through the woods to be beach/estuary. Sailing, kayaking and bonfres on the beach add to sense of outdoor adventure. Its secluded position means that all you hear are birdsong and the distant drone of speed boats pulling waterskies on the estuary. The house itself has character and amazing views. It is a short drive to Polzeath for surfing/body boarding and a 20 minute walk to Rock Village ( great baker and butcher) via the road or a lovely 25 minute walk along the beach to Rock Waterfront/pubs/restaurants when the tide is out.

The home was comfortable and had plenty of space for our family. The location was more remote than expected and this should be emphasised more on website. We enjoyed the beach area of an evening but there wasn’t anywhere around the house to sit outside other than the roof terrace which was nice but would have liked a bbq area. The master bed was really comfortable with a lovely bathroom and the hamper on arrival was a nice touch. All in all we had a lovely relaxing time at Schoopers it was just what the Doctor ordered following a family bereavement. Thank you for sharing your family home.
