Cowrie

Cowrie is a single-storey cottage in Rock with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The king-size bedroom has an en-suite and patio doors to the garden. A double room and bunk room complete the bedroom arrangement, with an Xbox and bean bags in the bunk room.

The file lists capacity for eight, but the stated beds do not explain how all eight guests are accommodated, so larger groups should confirm the setup before booking. High ceilings rise above the open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining room, where a Scandi-style wood burner is provided. An open fire is also recorded. Wi-Fi, parking for two cars, a dishwasher and charcoal barbecue are included, and one dog is accepted. The enclosed garden has a lawn and raised decking. Penmayne is a short walk away for a deli and bakery. Daymer Bay Beach is 1.4 miles away, followed by Greenaway Beach at 1.7 miles and Polzeath Beach at 2.1 miles. The Rock guide covers the village and estuary.

Six guest reviews rate Cowrie 5 out of 5. **Best for:** a family wanting single-storey rooms, games and an enclosed garden. **Less good for:** groups of eight without confirmed bed details, or guests needing laundry facilities or EV charging.
