Hawkers

Hawkers is a reverse-level house in Rock with three ground-floor bedrooms for six guests. A sofa bed in the upstairs snug takes two more on request. The main living spaces are upstairs, including a lounge with a wood burner and a balcony looking over the countryside.

The bedrooms comprise two kings and a zip-and-link twin. Each has its own bathroom or shower room, with a fourth shower room upstairs. The kitchen has a double oven, gas hob and dishwasher. A utility room holds the washing machine, tumble dryer and dog crate; the separate snug has a Smart TV and PlayStation.

Outside, the enclosed south-facing garden has decking, seating, a charcoal BBQ and a heated outdoor shower. The garage has space for wetsuits and boards. There is private parking for four cars, plus a 7kW EV charger with a separate charge; bring your own cable. Two dogs are accepted, with any pet charge confirmed when booking.

Porthilly Cove and the ferry to Padstow are options for outings from Rock. The provider puts the nearest shop half a mile away, a pub or restaurant one mile away and the beach two miles away. Check the route before choosing to walk.

Best for: Families wanting three bedrooms with their own washing facilities. Less good for: Eight adults expecting separate bedrooms, or guests unable to manage stairs to the living spaces.
