Rockhaven Manor

Rockhaven Manor is a six-bedroom Georgian-style house for 12 in Rock. A mahogany staircase and chandeliers frame the entrance hall. The lounge looks over the garden, while a separate dining room gives a family gathering space to eat together. Both rooms have open fires, with a starter supply of logs.

All six bedrooms are upstairs: two super-kings, one king, one double and two twins. One twin converts to a super-king on request. There are four bathrooms, including two en-suites and a wet room. A wet room alone does not make the house suitable for someone who cannot manage the stairs.

The kitchen has two ovens and a dishwasher; a utility room holds the washing machine and tumble dryer. Outside, two steps lead up to the enclosed garden, with a gas BBQ and outdoor furniture. There is private parking for three cars. Two dogs are accepted; check any pet charge when booking.

The house sits down a lane near the footpath to Porthilly Cove. At low tide, the shore connects to Rock Beach. The provider puts Polzeath four miles away by road, so plan beach trips around your transport and the tide.

Best for: Family groups wanting six bedrooms and separate dining spaces. Less good for: Guests needing ground-floor sleeping accommodation or level garden access.
