Greenaway, 4 Rockhaven Gardens

Greenaway, 4 Rockhaven Gardens is a 3-bedroom cottage in Rock, on the east bank of the Camel Estuary opposite Padstow. The property sits just up the road from Rock village, with an enclosed garden that has a table, chairs, and parasol for outdoor use.

Three bedrooms provide space for up to 6 guests: a king-size double with en-suite shower, a second double, and a bunk bed room. The family bathroom has a separate bath, shower, basin, and WC. The ground floor has a kitchen with dining area and a sitting room. Central heating is included throughout, along with a washing machine and dishwasher.

The enclosed garden is the main outdoor space. Daymer Bay Beach - a sheltered, family-friendly stretch of sand backed by dunes at the mouth of the Camel - is 1.6 miles away. Greenaway Beach, a quieter cove between Polzeath and Daymer Bay with rock pools rich in marine life, is 1.8 miles.

Rock is connected to Padstow by a water taxi running every 20 minutes, giving access to the harbour's restaurants and shops without driving. Polzeath, with its reliable surf break, is about 2 miles north. The Camel Trail cycle path passes through Wadebridge, 4 miles south. Pets are not accepted.

Suits a family of up to six who want an enclosed garden and the water taxi to Padstow, which runs every 20 minutes. Not suitable for guests with pets, as they are not accepted.
