Description

Curlew is a homely, well-equipped holiday bungalow set in the corner of a quiet, secluded residential area of Rock, Cornwall.

Within walking distance of Rock village shops and close to the public footpath leading to serene Porthilly cove on the north Cornwall coast, thus self-catering property sleeps six guests, making it a perfect base for a family holiday by the Cornish coast.

The landscaped and well-planted garden has two patio areas, perfect for relaxing in and soaking up the sunshine while your children play on the level lawn - ideal for garden games, or the family dog.

Store damp wetsuits, beach kit such as surf boards or kayaks in the adjacent garage.

The living accommodation is practical and well-equipped, while bedrooms offer king-size, twin, and zip/link twins that can be joined to make a king-size bed.

The fashionable resort of Rock is a deservedly popular holiday destination, with its setting on the banks of the Camel Estuary, it is a haven for sailors, water skiers and kayakers and has a beautiful aspect, looking over the water to the attractive fishing harbour of Padstow and out to sea past the Doom Bar and Stepper Point.

Keen hikers can go for long, scenic walks from Curlew either via Porthilly or across St Enodoc Golf Course towards Brea Hill.

Budding surfers will love the proximity to Polzeath, a surfer's idea of heaven with its often-gentle beach break, ideal for all abilities.

With the amenities and attractions of Port Isaac, Camelford and Nequay all within reach, there’s plenty to see and do from Curlew.

The property is in a great location and could be very nice.

It lacked cleanliness though. Dirty curtains and blinds. Bathroom smelly. Stains on quilts and mattresses. Electric bulbs not working and fittings that looked too dangerous to touch. A lot of large spiders and their webs all over the place. Looked as if the clean it gets each week is just a cursory hoover around! Didn't change light bulbs in bathroom as I wasn't sure how safe fitting was. Looked like it might fall off the roof! Didn't see any PAT testing stickers anywhere! A real shame, as it could be very nice with a bit more care and attention.

Probably 1st Sykes property we’ve stayed at that doesn’t give a welcome pack (milk/tea coffee sachets biscuits) makes such a difference.

Our requests for high chair was there, but the beds were separated not as super king bed (my husband is 6’8” and 18st) so a week in single bed not comfy., even though we had a confirmation of the request . The dishwasher had no salt, there were cobwebs around the property and the electrical items PAT test stickers were dated last May 2025 thought in rented holiday accommodation they had to be done every year. The dining table is still sticky. Patio door sticks at the bottom and very hard to close. Big chunk of enamel missing in the bath. We had to call Sykes as there was a problem with ants all over one of the outside bins. So unusual not to have a local contact as waited around 15 minutes for my call to be answered. It was all in all a very disappointing

I’ve stayed at Curlew many times and found it to be a really comfortable bungalow.

It’s good that it’s been updated over the years either the furniture and mattresses to kitchen equipment. We’ve now moved on to somewhere else as the price has increased significantly with the new letting agents. Though it was reduced after we had found somewhere else
