About this property

Lovely modern, light house with countryside views - perfect for 2 families

Rocksalt is our lovely 4-bedroomed holiday home just outside Rock on the North Cornwall coast. Built and furnished to a high standard in 2008, the house is situated in a glorious setting with far-reaching views over the Cornish countryside, yet is only a few minutes drive from Rock which offers water skiing, sailing and paddle boarding, the surfing beach of Polzeath and child-friendly Daymer Bay.

The accommodation is light and airy and comprises 4 large bedrooms with 2 en-suites and 1 family bathroom; an open-plan airy kitchen/lounge/dining area which is extremely well-equipped with large comfy sofas, a flat-screen HD TV and all mod cons. There is a south-facing garden which is fully secure, with a weber charcoal bbq and an outside hot and cold surfers' shower. The patio offers a great place to drink your morning coffee from our Nespresso machine! There is also direct access from the garden into a large field where children can play.

We have superfast unlimited broadband. You can watch BBC iplayer, YouTube etc on the TV and Netflix if you have an account.

Not only is the house well-served for numerous beautiful beaches but nearby there are four excellent golf courses as well as an enormous range of other activities including surfing, water-skiing, coasteering, kayaking, cycling, sailing and tennis. Days out include the quaint fishing village of Port Isaac (location for the TV series Doc Martin); Padstow with its shopping and superb restaurants including Rick Stein's famous 'Seafood Restaurant' (the water ferry runs constantly from Rock to Padstow during the day); the scenic Camel cycle trail from Bodmin to Padstow via Wadebridge (ideal for all ages and easy to organise cycle hire) and slightly further afield, the world renowned Eden Project. This is a perfect location for families, surfers, golfers, foodies and walkers.

NB: UNLIKE SOME HOLIDAY HOMES THE RENTAL PRICE INCLUDES ALL BED LINEN (BEDS MADE UP FOR YOUR ARRIVAL), BATH TOWELS, HEATING, ELECTRICITY AND CLEANING AT THE END OF YOUR STAY

Spacious family holiday home

Clean, well furnished, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms so great for extended family. Lovely quiet location with views over the Camel Valley. Close to Rock and Wadebridge but a car is necessary as the roads are not great for walking or cycling. Well equipped and spacious kitchen, which was great for sharing the cooking, BBQ for the dry days! Comfy beds, lots of sofas, exactly what we were looking for.

Three generation visit to Cornwall

We had plenty of space for our family of seven and thoroughly enjoyed the view from this well thought out retreat with comfortable seating for all. The children enjoyed the yard toys left for them and the adults enjoyed having a well stocked kitchen to enjoy some meals in. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming. Great location for visiting Polzeath beach and Tintagel Castle. Don’t forget to sample the Cornwall Pastis!

Comfortable and spacious house

We (2 families with small children) enjoyed our stay at RockSalt. It was spacious, clean and very well equipped. The kids loved running around in the garden and the adjacent field. The owner was very helpful with many questions that we had before we came. There are so many attractions in the area that we will have to come back! Beaches are about 5-10 min drive depending on where you go.

A very well equipped house, with country views

This is a lovely house, with country views at the back, and large doors to make the most of the countryside views. Ros' villa is very well equipped with large comfortable sofas for relaxing in the evenings. The house is very convenient for all local attractions, with some beautiful walks on the nearby glorious beaches, and Padstow is only 20 minutes away.

About the host

Hosted by Ros Garmston

Host profile image
My husband, Simon, and I were lucky enough to fulfil our dream and buy RockSalt in 2008. We both grew up in the west country and co-incidentally spent many holidays as children in and around Rock and Polzeath and wanted our children to grow up with the same happy memories. Hannah and Tom now have the same love of Cornwall as we have and although they have outgrown the bucket and spade days on the beach, they now love surfing, wake-boarding, walking and the fabulous food on offer from pasties in the Rock bakery to Rick Stein's fish and chips in Padstow.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with RockSalt as it is situated right in the middle of our favourite part of Cornwall and is modern and very light and airy and has fantastic countryside views towards Wadebridge.

What makes this property unique

RockSalt enjoys a quiet countryside setting yet is only a short drive from Rock, Polzeath and Daymer Bay. Our home is furnished and equipped to a very high standard - towels are provided and beds are made-up for your arrival so that you can begin your holiday as soon as you arrive. A completely enclosed garden with BBQ is ideal to sit in during summer evenings and for children to play in. We also have use of a meadow in front of the house where children can play ball games and you can relax and watch them from the lounge or garden. In addition, there is an outdoor shower where you can wash off after a fun-filled day at the beach. RockSalt is our home and we look forward to sharing it with you.
