About this property
Rocklings is a delightful detached self -catering holiday house peacefully tucked away at the end of a quiet private lane. Rocklings is perfectly suited to a large family, sleeping six guests in three bedrooms with two bathrooms. The interior will appeal to nautical types with its sea blues and themed bathrooms. Homely touches such as the charming patchwork quilts on the beds all contrive to make you feel quite at home. The pretty main bedroom has a king sized bed and the two further ones are twin bedded. The well-designed sitting room with dining area flows towards a balcony, with elevated countryside views. Sunbathing and meals can also be enjoyed on the sheltered decking area.Ideally situated to take advantage of all the joys of the wonderful Camel estuary and within striking distance of North Cornwall's best surf beaches, golf courses and stunning coastal paths. A wander down through the fields will find you on the peaceful, unspoilt cove of Porthilly, perfect for bird watching and paddling, while children will love to dam the little stream that flows down to the sea. Surfers will want to drive the couple of miles around to Polzeath to indulge in the surf village lifestyle and brave the rolling waves. Sailors can walk round to the sailing club or ski school at Rock and have a go at any of the water sports available there. Children and adults alike will appreciate the ferry ride over to the fishing port of Padstow and the chance to browse some different shops, cafes and art galleries and sample a pasty. Having Rocklings to return after your busy day, will be peace of mind for you.
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.

The kitchen is very well equipped to enjoy cooking family meals, sofas and beds all clean and comfortable. We love all of the equipment, books and games to use if required and again gives the feeling of home on holiday. Thank you to the owners for the welcome back itâs a lovely touch after a long journey and finally for renting the property, we look forward to staying again next year.

The house is spacious and was very clean, and the huge hob and oven made cooking for five very easy and enjoyable. We loved the 'reverse layout' of having the front room and kitchen upstairs, especially with the balcony to sit outside on warm days and evenings. The location of the house is also great - we loved a regular dog walk down to Porthilly beach, plus a regular coffee and pastry stop at the exceptional Fee's cafe at the end of the street. My only gripe is that there is a lot in the house - it feels like some de-cluttering would free up the space even more.
