Lowenna Manor 10

Lowenna Manor 10 is a three-bedroom terraced cottage in Rock, sleeping six across three floors, with the estuary village's water taxi to Padstow a short walk from the door. Two bathrooms serve the group.

The bedrooms are on the first and second floors, reached by stairs, and the ground-floor utility room has a wet room with a shower. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Two well-behaved pets are welcome. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included. Outside is a small garden with a patio area, set in shared communal gardens. Changeover day is Thursday.

Rock's own beach, facing west across the Camel Estuary, has calm, shallow water suited to families and to learning to sail or waterski at the Rock Sailing and Waterski Club. Daymer Bay Beach is 1.3 miles away, past the dune-backed church of St Enodoc where John Betjeman is buried. Greenaway Beach is 1.7 miles and Polzeath Beach 2.1 miles, with Polzeath's more reliable surf about 2 miles north along the coast road.

**Best for:** Groups wanting three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shared garden close to Rock's water taxi and sailing club.

**Less good for:** Guests wanting every bedroom to close off, as the third bedroom is open plan with no door or stairgate, or anyone wanting all rooms on one level.
