About this property
This attractive, two-storey cottage lies in a great position in the coastal town of Rock. Beautifully presented with original features in keeping with age of the property, West Cottage is a great choice for a family seeking some time away from normality. After a day on the beach, wash away the sand in the bathroom before heading into the kitchen to prepare a hearty meal. Serve up in the dining room complimented with a bottle of fizz, before following the slate flooring into the lounge, where you can sink into the sofa and enjoy catch-up on the Smart TV. On those warm days, head outside and bask in the sunshine from the enclosed garden, with a barbecue and set of furniture that welcomes alfresco dining. The bedrooms lie upstairs and include the master double with Smart TV, whilst there are two single bedrooms to either side of the landing. Pack up your seaside essentials and head to the golden sands of Polzeath Beach, a heaven for surfers with its consistent, slow break waves, whilst holidaymakers can soak up the sunshine at Rock Beach, before ending the evening with a bite to eat at one of the village’s excellent eateries; why not indulge in a cream tea or Cornish pasty? Join the impressive South West Coast Path and enjoy scenic views that lead to the coastal towns of Port Isaac, famously used for filming Doc Martin, and Padstow where you can visit the colourful harbour and see the National Lobster Hatchery. With all this, plus the bustling attractions of Newquay within easy reach, there’s so much to look forward to whilst holidaying at West Cottage.
On the north eastern bank of the River Camel, opposite the well-known harbour town of Padstow, which is conveniently accessible by a regular ferry service, lies Rock, an attractive and highly sought-after coastal village. The true lure is the variety of watersports available, including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, and fishing. The summer residence of royalty and celebrities offers top-notch restaurants and high-end stores. In keeping with the theme of sports, the neighbouring Saint Enodoc golf course is regarded as one of the greatest in the country. With so many great beaches nearby, it is easy to see why Rock continues to be popular.

Despite staying in December, the heating system certainly kept us very warm and comfortable. We would certainly stay again.

The very secure front and rear gardens were ideal for our dog, and would be for small children too. The cottage is comfortable, nicely decorated and well equipped, although the previously mentioned microwave could be a useful addition. We were pleased to see the clothes line appear part way through our stay. The downstairs bathroom wouldn't be our ideal, but was manageable.

Comfortable rooms and beautifully dressed, perhaps a small hanging area in one bedroom to front, could be added? Excellent range of kitchenware and both the dishwasher and washer/dryer performed well. We christened the BBQ and ate al fresco often, using the comfy garden furniture. The local grocery shop 100 mtrs Bakery (omg so good) 200 mtrs Butchers 300 mtrs Cafe 500 mtrs What more could you need !! We will be returning for sure! * Couple of points to note, the on line details state a microwave is supplied, there was not one on our stay, this didnât affect us but needs clarification or installing. There is a rotary washing line behind the oil tank, but we could not locate the ground spike to use it? Thankfully the washer/ dryer came to rescue.
