About this property

The Snug. Pretty cottage/barn conversion close to Rock, Polzeath and Padstow

The open plan kitchen/diner/living space includes a comfortable sofa bed and a cosy snuggler seat for 2. There is seating available for 4 at the dining table. The new kitchen and bathroom (shower) is equipped to a very high standard offering everything needed for a comfortable and restful break.

Chilled break in a wonderful property

The snug was a beautifully presented cottage in a great location. It was kitted out extremely well and was immaculately clean. Only a couple of miles outside Rock and plenty of local pubs/restaurants. Would definitely use again.

Perfect for quick beach trip!

We felt so lucky to find The Snug for trip to Cornwall. The cottage has been immaculately renovated and decorated including a very comfortable mattress and the linens were lovely. The grounds are pretty and well-kept and the location was a short drive to great beaches and coast path walking. Carol responded quickly when we had questions. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to be back.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Welch

Host profile image
I introduced my husband to Rock, Polzeath and Daymer Bay (having fun memories from childhood) when we first met 30 years ago and we have been returning ever since. We are delighted to be able to share it now with you. The Snug is 7 minutes drive to Rock on the Camel Estuary where you can take the Black Tor Ferry to Padstow. Also minutes drive to the well known surfing beach of Polzeath. A short 15 minute drive to Wadebridge and the famous Camel Trail offering walking and cycling along the river estuary. A little further afield is Newquay, Port Isaac, Tintagel and many other attractions. This is a very beautiful part of the UK and attracts those who love food with an incredible choice of quality restaurants such as Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant, Paul Ainsworth at the Mariner's Inn and many more.

Why they chose this property

We bought The Snug, a grade 2 listed barn on 30th September 2021 and have spent the winter completely renovating it with new plumbing, electrics, kitchen, bathroom, flooring and love. The Snug sleeps 2 comfortably in 1 spacious bedroom featuring original beams. There is a very comfortable sofa bed in the open plan living area offering additional flexibility. The Snug is set in a rural location and offers quiet, open and safe grounds with ample parking (2 designated spaces). The Snug is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and we are absolutely delighted we can now share our cottage with you.

What makes this property unique

Very spacious grounds. Minutes drive to local beaches. Completely renovated and equipped with new furniture and fittings. Free WiFi is provided. Linen is provided. Rock, Padstow and Polzeath are very popular holiday destinations and The Snug offers uniquely placed offering lots of space away from the bustle.
