4-Star Family Home in Rock: private garden, walk to beach & pet friendly

Seamist is a secluded bungalow, an ideal family home. It is situated down a private road within walking distance of the beach, shops and golf – so you can forget about the car for the duration of your stay. Beautiful enclosed garden - private and secure for children of all ages- solid teak garden furniture and big gas BBQ make al-fresco dining a pleasure. Ranked 4 Star by English Tourist Board, Seamist is furnished and equipped to very high standard throughout with all linen provided for your stay. Oil fired central heating, free high-speed WiFi and an open wood-burning fire gives Seamist a really comfortable feel and makes it wonderfully relaxing for holidays at any time of the year. Rock is excellent for sailing, surfing, golf, walking and lots more.


About the Owner: I have visited Rock on holiday since I was a small child and now I am thrilled to be able to take my children there too. My family loves Cornwall for its beautiful beaches, clean air and fantastic outdoor pursuits. We also enjoy the amazing selection of food, from fish and chips in Padstow to Michelin star dinners at Nathan Outlaw only a walk away. Rock is quite simply unbeatable. Seamist is our family home in Rock. I offer a quality of service to our guests that our home deserves. We take a lot of time to make your holiday special and welcome your feedback.

My family loves Cornwall and Rock in particular. The white sandy beaches, the surfing, sailing and ice creams are a huge hit with my children. The grown-ups love the walks, golf and amazing restaurants. We bought Seamist to allow us all to enjoy a classic seaside holiday and as somewhere where we will want to come back year after year.

Unique benefits of the property : Tucked away down a private drive but a 4 minute walk from the shops in the centre of Rock, Seamist is ideally situated. Access to the beaches and St Enodoc Golf Course is easy too, by foot or car. A completely private and enclosed garden is ideal to sit in during summer evenings and for children to play in. Our home is furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Towels are provided, beds are made-up for your arrival, there is lots of hanging space and tea, coffee and milk are waiting for you when you arrive to welcome you. The open-fire is lovely on colder evenings; on warmer ones there is a big gas BBQ and teak garden furniture for you to use. Surfboards and bucket and spades are left for you to use. Seamist is our home and we welcome you to use it and its facilities.

Coast/Beach and Golf: Seamist is walking distance to the beach. There are many stunning beaches in Rock and the surrounding area. Rock beach, Golf Club beach and Daymer Bay can all be reached by foot;Padstow is a 10 minute ferry ride from Rock beach. There is excellent sailing and waterskiing with good facilities at the Waterski club and Rock Sailing school. Polzeath beach is a 5 minute drive and offers amazing surfing for all ages. There are some great surfing schools. The beaches in the area are stunning.

Wonderful comfy home, great location.
We loved renting Seamist, the location was wonderful, we could walk across the golf course to the beach. The house was really clean and comfortable. Sarah was a fantastic host and gave me all sorts of local info before our stay. I’d highly recommend Seamist.

Wonderful holiday accommodation, highly recommended.
Excellent property, well equipped, very comfortable and clean. In a good quiet location for a few good quality local shops, several good restaurants and the foot ferry to lovely Padstow and its facilities. Very nice helpful owner with good contact by phone and text. The property surpassed all expectations, just what we wanted. Thankyou, Sarah!

Idyllic week in Rock
We could not have asked for a better location - a short stroll across the golf course to any of the beaches (or to the nearby hotel for cocktails on the terrace). House was pristine and comfortable and Sarah did everything to ensure we had what we needed. The only problem was - the house was so good our teenagers never wanted to go out!

Lovely holiday home in Rock
We spent a week at Seamist in April with our 4 children and had a wonderful time there. The house was extremely clean when we arrived, and was very well equipped.The owner was very helpful. Seamist is well situated in Rock, in a quiet residential area. It has a nice garden which is safe for children. We visited the region during our stay, enjoyed taking the foot ferry to Padstow, visiting the Eden Project and the beautiful seaside villages within easy driving distance of Rock. We would definitely recommend staying at Seamist.

Cosy, comfortable holiday home
Thrilled to arrive at a very cosy, comfortable holiday home which was just as described and which was absolutely spotless. The little extras which enabled us to settle in without rushing off to shop for essentials were in the house and were really appreciated by us. The situation in Rock was perfect in there was accessibility to shops, ferry, restaurants and stunning walks on foot so that the cars could be left on the drive. Rock as a centre to explore this beautiful area of North Cornwall was very convenient too. We were 4 pensioners with a dog and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a perfect holiday home in a perfect situation.

A perfect holiday in Cornwall
We rented Seamist for a week and it was a lovely property, very clean, tidy and had all the modern amenities we needed and more. It was very spacious and comfortable for the family and has a beautifully maintained garden. Seamist is situated in a very tranquil location only a short walk to the facilities of Rock and Daymer beach (a great beach for dog walking) but also well located for our day trips to St Austell (including Eden project), Truro, Padstow & Fowey. The whole family had such a great and relaxing holiday based at Seamist. With good ‘dog friendly’ restaurants/pubs, sandy beaches and beautiful countryside and the shopping facilities of historic Padstow all within a short walk or boat ride away, it all makes for an ideal place to holiday. We would all highly recommend a visit to this beautiful part of Cornwall.

Lovely quiet location
A very nice property on the outskirts of Rock and within an easy distance to walk to the harbour area where the restaurants are. Within a 5 min walk a range of shops, fresh fish monger/bakers /deli/co op so very easy. 20 mins walk across the golf course to the beach and easy walk to the town area for a nice coffee. Overall a lovely property to stay in, kitchen well equipped and I would highly recommend

Lovely week by the sea
Our family of five plus our dog enjoyed a relaxing and fun week at Seamist. It is an excellent base from which to explore the area, and is an easy walk to shops in the village and a 20 minute walk to a remarkably beautiful and quiet beach. Home is safe, quiet and comfortable with a lovely garden. Highly recommended!

Seamist is in the perfect location at Rock, really quiet cul-de-sac, easy walk to Daymer Beach through the golf course and equally easy walk to Rock seafront! Very private sunny garden, all amenities you need and very comfortable. Sara his excellent host and very helpful!

Lovely half term break
We had a great break in Rock - particularly given this was our first holiday of 2020 due to Covid! Seamist is really well located in easy walking distance of the seafront in Rock and we'd recommend walking down through the golf course which is just next door to the property. Seamist itself is well equiped and had everything we needed. We found the owners really responsive and helpful when we had an issue with a tap that we couldn't off - all fixed the same day. Thanks for a lovey week.

Nice and quiet, close to the beaches and cliff walks
The house was excellently resourced with everything we needed for our 5 day stay. The rooms were quite spacious and the kitchen, beds and bathrooms excellent. We enjoyed the wood fire as it was quite cold while we were there. The major complaint was that the heat in the radiators turned off in the night so it got quite cold in the house in late November. We did call the local person who said she would get that corrected (the controls were behind a locked door so we could not adjust the time heat was on - just the level of heat) but it didn't seem to make any difference as the heat went off during a portion of the night for the duration of our stay. Also the TV worked for one evening but I couldn't get it to work after that. After the experience with the heat we didn't think it worth asking for help with the TV. So overall the house was just great but if you stay in the winter make sure you have the heat assured throughout the night and that the TV is working.

Lovely house for beach holiday!
We had a fantastic week ( with amazing weather!) in lovely Rock. Seamist is a great house - really convenient for the beach and the ferry to Padstow. It is very comfortable and well equipped, and is was wonderfully welcoming to find tea & cake on arrival!! Thanks Sarah - can we come again!!!

Our Stay in Rock
Sea mist had everything we wanted. It was ideally positioned for all activities and places of interest and extremely well fitted out with fridge, freezer, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, wi-fi, t.v. etc. The garden was ideal and secure if you had small children or dogs. We cannot fault it in any way - it was more comfortable and certainly much quieter than our home near Gatwick!! Sarah Austin, the owner was so nice in every respect. Not interfering at all but generally very helpful and caring. We love Rock, we have visited every year (last year an exception due to health reasons) and Seamist is probably the pick of all the places we have stayed at. Would most certainly come back here again.

Fabulous property in great location
Just had a fab week - could have done with 2 weeks! Property very comfortable and clean. Good-sized garden. Within walking distance of shops - amazing clothes shops for such a small place! Lovely walks around area. Bit of a steep climb to waterfront but kept us fit! Plenty to do in area - particularly enjoyed paddle-boarding at local ski school and body-boarding at nearby Polzeath. Easy reach of Padstow via ferry. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely Fabulous bungalow to stay in
As the holiday property details say, Sea Mist is most certainly a home from home! We have stayed in lots of holiday properties across the whole of the UK and can truly say this is the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. The biggest selling point for us, apart from its location in lovely Rock, is that it most definitely has a fully enclosed garden for our two beloved dogs, thus ensuring they could not escape out and which is a huge benefit for young children as well. To also be able to walk across the Golf Course, which backs on to this lovely bungalow, to Rock beach and then into Daymer Bay Beach again is absolutely fabulous and which we enjoyed doing early every morning (the dogs loved it too)! The other thing we must mention is the fantastic shower in the shower room, again we have never come across a shower in a holiday property that has such a good pressure on it and a brilliant sized shower cubicle. Overall, we would not hesitate at all in highly recommending Sea Mist to anyone who is looking for a holiday in lovely, Rock, Cornwall. Sue and Paul, Suffolk (April 2017)

Wonderful location and home
Perfect location to explore the delights of Rock. Very peaceful location it's hard to believe you are so close to all the amenities. We didn't use the car once during our short break because all of the beaches are nearby with public footpath access literally right outside the door. Well kept, spacious and tastefully decorated home ensured a comfortable stay with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The owner, Sarah was so thoughtful with her welcome gifts and contact we felt like she was welcoming us as her friends, rather than clients. Perfect, can't wait to return.

Family holiday at Seamist with Grandparents
When we arrived at the property all was exactly as had been advertised. The place was clean homely and most of all just right for 2 families. The kids had bits of games and a decent garden to play in the amenities of Rock all within 5-10 minute walk. The coastal walks were brilliant and Rock to Padstowe on the boat is not to be missed. The beaches clean and not overly populated. i do not see this as a criticism just a point that its a pity the bedroom with the bathroom at the other side of the house has bunk beds and not a small double. We would certainly recommend the Seamist as a lovely place to stay and Rock in general as a great place to holiday at

A Beautful homely and tranquil stay in Rock
Seamist is a beautiful, homely, tranquil and comfortable home away from home. It is beautifully situated within a well manicured mature garden both front and back with shrubs, and flowers. It was a pleasure to have breakfast outside each morning and enjoy sitting in such beautiful surroundings. The bungalow itself it very spacious, light, bright and spotlessly clean . The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could wish for . There is a great powerful shower and a further bathroom. The small cul de sac on which it is situated is calm and quiet , located near to the bakery, deli, butchers, newsagent and The Dining Room restaurant to name a few all within walking distance. A walk in the other direction either via the footpaths and the main road or through the near by St Enodoc Golf golf course and sand dunes brings you to the beautiful dog friendly golden sand beach at Rock, a mere 15 / 20 minutes away. Continue walking around the bay and you will reach Daymer Bay and St. Enodoc Church. At Rock beach there is parking and a number of restaurants and a cafe, a sailing club and the ferry over to Padstow harbour which takes about 5 minutes where there can be found numerous restaurants, cafes and shops. Also not to be missed is Porthilly Beach again a short walk from the Bungalow where mussels are caught and landed . The owners Sarah and Wayland are delightful and a pleasure to speak with . They genuinely care about your stay and are most helpful with any queries you may have and provide lots of information about Rock and the surrounding area. Sue the manager of Seamist also calls to the property to make sure you have everything you need and advises on the surrounding area . We have never been so well looked after. We will definitely recommend Seamist to friends and family and will be returning.

Cornish home from home
Seamist is our delightful home from home in Rock. Perfectly located for the beaches, restaurants, sailing school, golf course and shops. My family and I have been returning there twice a year for the last few years and every time we see it, we fall in love with it again. It is beautifully maintained and serviced, immaculately clean, homely and welcoming. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Home from home!
We have stayed in many self-catering properties in the UK and abroad, some good, some not so good but Seamist is always top of our list of places to return to - we love this house! From the moment you walk in through the door, you are struck by the peace and quiet, the space, the cleanliness and the feeling that you can kick off your shoes and relax. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the bathrooms have amazing hot, powerful showers, the garden is safe for children and dogs, the open fire in the living/dining room is a great focal point on chilly evenings and the location is perfect - walking distance to shops, restaurants, beaches and cafes.Thank you for another wonderful stay, see you again soon!
