“Fab location to visit countless places in the county.”
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 didn’t 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.
Thank you for your kind words regarding your stay with us. We are so pleased you had a good holiday. Thank you for pointing out about the microwave, this has now been deleted from the website.
We very much look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

The property
In the seaside village of Rock, close to the beach, lies this charming abode, West Cottage. This is a fantastic option for a family looking for some time away from everyday life and it is tastefully presented with original cottage features and contemporary Scandinavian design touches throughout.
With a gated, off-road driveway, you can draw in and unpack at leisure before heading out to stretch your legs at local Rock or Porthilly Beach. Once you've had your seaside fix, children and your four legged friend will love to let off any remaining steam in the enclosed garden at West Cottage while you relax on the outdoor sofa. Head into the kitchen to fix up dinner (or cheat and potter to Rock n Roll fish and chips shop, just around the corner). Catch up around the stylish dining table with the family before sprawling out together in the lounge on the L-shaped sofa, where you may recline and watch catch-up on the Smart TV. Later, refresh in the bathroom and head upstairs to the master bedroom which has a double bed with a Smart TV, and there are two other single bedrooms on either side of the landing upstairs so everyone can have their personal space and plenty of room to rest. Each room has been carefully thought through and considered, with artwork to impress and little touches in every room to ensure it feels like home.
For day time adventures, pack up your beach essentials and head to Rock Beach to gaze across the Camel Estuary while children can play in the shores or for the surfers, take the short drive to the waves of Polzeath Beach. On your return you can eat at one of Rock village's excellent pubs such as The Mariners or Pityme Pub or restaurants such as The Dining Room. For dining in, stock up at the local shops which are conveniently close to West Cottage; whether it's Rock Nursery Stores for groceries, Watt's Butchers for meat or Barnecutt's Bakery for tempting Cornish pasties, there is plenty to keep foodies happy. Follow the spectacular South West Coast Path around from Rock to Daymer Bay or for a day out, take the foot ferry from Rock to the coastal towns of Padstow, where you can visit the vibrant harbour and see the National Lobster Hatchery. Further north offers the village of Port Isaac, which was notably used for filming Doc Martin. Book West Cottage today and start planning your Cornish holiday adventure.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location
ROCK
Padstow 1.5 miles via ferry; Polzeath 2.8 miles; Wadebridge 6.2 miles.
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.
