Lowenna Manor 4

Lowenna Manor 4 is a terraced cottage in Rock, on the east bank of the Camel Estuary opposite Padstow. Arranged over three floors, it sits on Rock Road with parking for two cars and a private lawned garden - a practical base for families wanting easy access to the estuary and north Cornwall coast.

Inside, three bedrooms are split across the upper floors: a king-size double and a single on the first floor, and a twin on the second floor. Two bathrooms serve the property - one on each bedroom floor - each with a bath, shower, basin, and WC. A ground-floor cloakroom adds convenience. The open-plan ground floor combines kitchen, dining area, and sitting room in a single sociable space, fitted with an electric oven, ceramic hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer, and dishwasher.

Outside, the lawned rear garden has a patio with garden furniture. Daymer Bay Beach - a sheltered stretch of sand at the mouth of the Camel - is 1.3 miles away, and Greenaway Beach, known for its rock pools, is 1.7 miles. The water taxi to Padstow runs from the Rock waterfront, a short walk from the property.

Rock works well as a base for the north Cornwall coast. The Camel Trail cycle path starts at Wadebridge, 4 miles south. Polzeath's surf beach is 2.1 miles north. Sailing schools and watersport hire operate from the Rock waterfront through the season.

Nearby: Daymer Bay Beach (1.3 miles) and Greenaway Beach (1.7 miles). See our Rock guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a family of five wanting a Rock base near the Camel Estuary, with parking for two cars and Daymer Bay Beach 1.3 miles away; less good for guests wanting a hot tub or pool, since neither is provided.
