2 Porthilly Cottages
Description
2 Porthilly Cottages is a lovely pet-friendly property in the village of Rock, situated in the popular county of Cornwall.
This fabulous cottage is ideal for a family or a group of friends looking for a getaway, as it boasts close proximity to the beach, shops, and the Mariners pub, all within easy walking distance, as well as a private courtyard garden.
Do note that parking can be limited in high season, so once you're settled in, you may find it easier to explore on foot or by ferry.
Walk along the slate path and down some steps before entering your new holiday abode.
Kick off your shoes, then walk through to the heart of the home, which is the living and dining room.
Sit back on the corner sofa and indulge yourself in your new surroundings.
In the kitchen area, you will find all you need for a great self-catered stay.
Use the electric oven and hob to cook a delicious meal, then plate it up on the dining table.
If the sun is shining, then head out into the front courtyard garden to dine alfresco.
Wash your dinner down with a drink or two and soak up the fresh air.
For some evening entertainment, once the sun has set, find something for everyone on the Smart TV or pick out a book to read for a more peaceful night.
When you can sense a yawn coming along, then call it a night and head up to either the double or twin bedroom.
After you’re refreshed from a shower on the ground floor, gather everyone at the breakfast bar to plan ahead for the rest of the day.
A shop and a pub are just a short stroll away for any essentials or a meal out.
For a day of fun, head down the hill to Porthilly Cove and Porthilly Beach, or walk across to Rock Beach and Daymer Bay.
St Enodoc’s Church is another peaceful spot, accessed via the beach or through the nearby golf course.
From Rock, you can hop on the ferry across to Padstow, where you’ll find harbour views, independent shops, and the start of the scenic Camel Trail, a five-mile route to Wadebridge that’s ideal for walking or cycling.
If you're up for exploring further afield, discover the cliff-backed beauty of Polzeath Beach, the dramatic headland at Pentire Point, or the picture-postcard fishing village of Port Isaac.
Nature lovers might enjoy a day wandering through Cardinham Woods, while those with a taste for the theatrical can book ahead for a performance at the iconic Minack Theatre, perched on the cliffs near Penzance.
Another must-see is the Eden Project, a world-famous eco-attraction that brings together awe-inspiring architecture and lush biomes filled with plants from across the globe.
Those with a green thumb or a love of heritage will enjoy a day out to one of Cornwall’s many lush gardens and grand estates.
From the manicured grounds of Lanhydrock and the hidden pathways of Heligan to the subtropical borders at Trengwainton or the riverside elegance of Trelissick, there’s no shortage of floral inspiration to uncover.
Whatever your taste, 2 Porthilly Cottages is the ideal Cornwall base for you.

What guests are saying
Second stay this year.
Brilliant cottage, great to have a beach so close for the two Labradors.
We had a lovely stay at 2 Porthilly Cottages, the cottage is a perfect location to explore the area.
We appreciated the welcome gifts, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc, and there was everything we needed for a long weekend stay. We hope to come back again!
Despite contact with the owner, nothing was done during our stay to install a blind/curtain at the top of the stairs.
The owner did say he would contact the agent the following day to have installed. You are in full view of all, going down the stairs at night to the bathroom. Very intimidating. Suggest, to increase recycling, a twin bin of household waste and dry recycling be provided. Or an additional bin to improve recycling. The owner should consider more kitchenware, ie mixing bowls, salad bowls etc. Sykes could probably visit the property to recommend items for inclusion. Done attention to the garden as well. Rather overgrown with shrubbery and plants. Also a sweep up of leaves etc. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay and we would consider rebooking in the future.
