Known as Cornwall’s very own Saint-Tropez, Rock entices visitors with its white sands and sparkling turquoise seas – and this luxury holiday home, just moments away, offers an idyllic retreat for eight guests to unwind. Find Rock’s award-winning bakeries, quality eateries and welcoming pubs less than half a mile away or take the 1.5-mile walk to enjoy pristine sands on the banks of the Camel Estuary. Surfers will adore nearby Polzeath (2.5 miles), another picturesque North Cornwall village offering a sandy arc with excellent swells. Across the water, take the passenger ferry to Padstow (2 miles) to unlock endless hikes, bike rides and foodie-favourite destinations. Work up an appetite exploring the South West Coast Path or the Camel Trail, perhaps renting a bike in town to set out in search of clifftop scenery and hidden beaches. Once satiated, head back to Rock to indulge in one of its many quality eateries.
Soft tones and unique artworks decorate this impressive two-storey space, while large windows flood the rooms with natural light. Open-plan living awaits on the ground floor, where the spacious lounge, kitchen and dining area unfold. The kitchen and lounge are subtly divided by a central staircase, creating peaceful separation without losing the sociable, open feel. Budding chefs will appreciate the fully equipped kitchen, complete with an American-style fridge/freezer, double dishwasher, and even a proving drawer for keen bakers. In the lounge, plush sofas are set opposite a Smart TV and wood burner, perfect for cosy evenings after long days on the sand. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor adds an extra touch of comfort, while a utility room provides space for sandy gear and beachwear. A family bathroom with a shower is handily positioned for rinsing off post-surf. Also on this level is the first of four bedrooms, a sumptuous super-king-size with a spa-like en-suite featuring a rainfall shower. The remaining bedrooms – each bright, inviting and dressed in crisp white linens – are on the first floor. Two are twin rooms with zip-and-link beds that can be made up as super-king-size if preferred, while the final room is a super-king-size with its own luxurious en-suite. One twin also includes a Smart TV, ideal for younger guests. Completing this floor is a family bathroom and a spacious hallway with a desk and chair, perfect for catching up on emails with inspiring views above.
Illuminated by fairy lights, the rear garden offers a peaceful retreat on warm evenings. Bi-fold doors from both the ground-floor bedroom and lounge open onto a furnished patio with a dining table large enough to gather everyone together. Beside it, the hot tub seats six or seven, while an outdoor shower is ideal after a sandy day at the beach. At the front of the house, private parking for up to three cars completes this exceptional property.
