Samphire is a spacious, detached bungalow located just around the corner from the amenities of Rock village, on the striking North Cornwall coast. Set over a single storey, this welcoming abode has been presented to an excellent standard, ideal for families and groups of friends wanting to explore the countryside and coastal sights of Cornwall. After a day of exploring, look forward to unwinding with the spacious sitting room, featuring a sumptuous corner sofa, woodburning stove and TV, so you are well-equipped for a relaxing night in.

Rock is an attractive coastal village on the north eastern bank of the River Camel, directly across from the famed port town of Padstow, which is easily accessible via a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities, with top-notch restaurants and boutiques, the true lure is the variety of watersports available, such as sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, and angling. Keeping with the athletic motif, the neighbouring St Enodoc golf course is regarded as one of the best in the country. It's easy to see why Rock is so popular, with so many world-class beaches all within a short distance.

It was well equipped and is very well located for amenities in Rock. The owners notes were very helpful and we were easily able to put the heating on to dry our clothes after some very wet walks! We found the wifi signal was weak in some areas of the property but overall we had a great stay & have booked again for next year.

Everything was great and ideal for our needs. It is in a convenient location in a quiet lane close to shops, a chippie & bakery whilst still walking distance to the beach and its amenities. Only small issue was the home EV charger not working during the entire second week. Strange as it worked perfectly during the first week. Hopefully we will return next year. Thank you
