“We did indeed really enjoy our recent holiday in Rock.”
This is our third holiday encompassing the Padstow Christmas Festival and the weather was extremely kind to us this year. The family find 8 Sandy Hills very comfortable and cosy. The house is always warm to come home to and we appreciate that very much. We tend to visit our favourite places in and around Padstow/Rock and also dip into Truro a couple of times (beautiful at Christmas time). We hope to replicate our lovely holiday again in 2020!

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.
