    “We have been staying as at Drifters now for many years and are due back for another two weeks in September.”

    Our constructive comments are as follows 1 The electrical circuit serving the power points in the main bedroom and the sun room above still keeps tripping. Luckily we know where the trip switch is and can sort it out but other guests may not be able to. Surely it is possible for a competent electrician to sort it out once and for all ? We wonder whether ithe proeprtry i has an up to date electrical test ? 2 The internet service provider was the worst we have ever known it and there were not many holiday makers in Rock to overload it. 3 The televisions are very old, particularly the one in the main living room and the picture is terrible. Please, it’s high time they were replaced. 4 Is it not possible please that Sky is connected? If the owners switched everything to Sky they would find that the ISP connection will be greatly improved. We have just moved house that’s exactly what we have done. 5 The pots and pans in the kitchen were new and very acceptable 6 The Visitors Information Book needs updating. I haven’t got chapter and verse for everything but Lewis’ Store closed at least three years ago and the butcher is now Philip Warren. 7 Would it be possible for two single arm chairs to replace one of the sofas in the living room? They are both very low and as we get older they are more and more difficult to get out of ! 8 the vacuum cleaner is past its sell by date. I:t is very heavy to lug up and down stairs and o[ne of our party damaged her shoulder moving it. I hope you find these comments constructive and that the owners can continue to invest in the house. We look forward to returning in September.

The property

Drifters is a contemporary detached holiday house with splendid views overlooking the tidal waters of the Camel Estuary and the countryside beyond.

Located just a few minutes walk from Rock beach, its fine waterfront restaurants and shops, as well as the many fantastic facilities and activities on offer on the North Cornwall coast.

With ample parking, this spacious self-catering holiday house sleeps up to 8 guests comfortably.

A welcoming entrance hallway leads you into an airy living space; set on the first floor, nothing can detract from the spectacular sea views.

A master suite featuring a superking bed and a luxury ensuite complete with both bath and shower. A second bedroom offers a kingsize bed and its own private ensuite shower room.

The floor also includes a utility room and a family bathroom with both bath and shower options. Ideal for families or groups, two additional twin bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements.

The sunny stone balcony is perfect for planning your day's adventures, or enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee and the papers.

After an exhilarating day, relax in the pretty rear garden and enjoy supper on the private terrace.

The generous open plan living areas include a well-equipped kitchen and dining space, comfortable living room with a modern wood burner and a separate TV room.

Drifters is conveniently located up the hill from the water sport hub at Rock, including the Rock Sailing & Water-ski Club and The Camel Ski School where you can practice sailing, paddle boarding, water skiing and kayaking on the sheltered waters of the Camel Estuary.

Catch the foot ferry over to Padstow for Rick Stein's fish and chips on the harbour or take a leisurely cycle on the Camel Trail to the nearest picturesque town of Wadebridge.

Walkers will adore the mile long stretch of beach that wraps around the coastline to Daymer Bay, a stunning sandy bathing beach ideal for younger children.

Adrenalin junkies will want to head to nearby Polzeath, a blue flag beach and the surf capital of North Cornwall.

Experience the best of Cornwall right from your doorstep.

Sorry no pets.

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.
