Luxury house near beaches with beautiful country 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

Barthek!
Barthek means wonderful in Cornish. I stay in rental properties often, usually arranging week-long vacations with family and friends. RockSalt is among the very best. Plenty of space, iconic view of the Cornish countryside, equipped with everything (and it all worked easily.) We had no hassles and the owner answered our questions quickly and throughly, obviously wanting us to have a wonderful time in a wonderful area of Cornwall.

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!

Fabulous property
We have been visiting Cornwall for many years, staying close to Rock and padstow, Rocksalt has been by far our favourite stay. The location is great, just a stones throw from Rock where there’s a quick boat trip across to padstow or a quick drive to Polzeath. The property was immaculately clean and tidy, lots of space for our family, plenty of outdoor space to relax and for the kids to play. Communication with Ros was great, a quick note to make sure we were happy with everything was appreciated. Overall a great stay at a lovely property, hope to be back soon.

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.

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.

Great stay in Cornwall
Lovely house, well maintained and well equipped, with plenty of space for our family of five. Nice garden, comfy beds and good showers. Also an outside shower to wash away sand from the beach. We really appreciated the evening breeze after the warm daytimes. Only thing to mention is that the bedroom blinds are not blackout (venetian) so bring an eye mask if you like it very dark to sleep. Good location, nowhere reachable on foot but many places just a short drive away. Would love to return some time.

Great property.
We loved our stay at the property. It is a good size, is well decorated, great lay out and high quality furnishing. The location worked for us, close to Polzeath, Rock and Wadebridge, yet out of the way enough to be away from the crowds. Initially we wondered whether being on a site of holiday homes would be a problem, but it was quiet and all the other holiday makers were respectful. There is a good set up. The house itself is a really good size and it is the little things that make a difference; three large comfy sofas; neff appliances; big comfy beds; powerful showers; plenty of plates and cutlery; outside shower to clean beach gear. There is also a utility room to put beach towels, swimwear etc. The outside space is good. The table could be a little bigger, but we only used a couple of times. The field at the back which is advertised as a space the kids can play is currently uncut, but makes for a nice view of wild flowers and long grass. If I could add one small thing: a downstairs separate toilet, but that would be being picky on an overall excellent 10 star property. Would defo stay again if in the area.
