Pilgrims Rest

Pilgrims Rest is a 2-bedroom barn conversion in St Minver, part of the Tredizzick Holiday Cottages complex near Rock. The property sleeps 4 across 2 bathrooms, with both a wood burner and an open fire - a combination that makes it a legitimate three-season or shoulder-season option, not just a summer let. A BBQ and enclosed garden extend the outdoor use in warmer months.

Daymer Bay is 1.7 miles west - a sheltered, north-facing beach at the mouth of the Camel estuary, popular with families and paddleboarders because it faces away from the main Atlantic swell. Greenaway Beach is 1.9 miles, and Polzeath, the area's principal surf beach, is 2 miles. Rock village and its sailing facilities are a short drive north. WiFi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. Changeover is Saturday.

Suits couples or small families who want access to Polzeath surf and Daymer Bay calm without committing to a large house. Good for shoulder-season stays given the wood burner and open fire. Right for guests who prefer the quieter St Minver side of the Camel estuary over the busier Rock or Padstow town centres. Not great for those needing more than 4 beds or anyone expecting a clifftop or sea-view setting - this is inland farm conversion territory.
