Samphire

Samphire is a four-bedroom cottage in Rock sleeping eight across two bathrooms. The house has an open fire, EV charging, a garden, and an open-plan layout suited to a group or two families sharing. Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. Two well-behaved pets are welcome.

Rock is one of north Cornwall's more well-appointed villages - independent restaurants, a deli, and a sailing club within easy reach. Daymer Bay Beach is 1.4 miles away, a sheltered sandy bay on the Camel Estuary mouth popular with families and paddleboarders. Polzeath, with lifeguarded surf, is 2.1 miles. The water taxi to Padstow operates regularly in season, putting the town's restaurants across the estuary in around 10 minutes. St Enodoc Golf Club - where Sir John Betjeman is buried - is close.

This cottage is ideal for a group of adults or two families who want Rock's social infrastructure without a Rock price tag on a smaller property. The open fire and enclosed garden extend the usable season. Thursday changeover suits non-standard week splits. Not great for those who want a sea view from the property.

Four bedrooms sleep eight across two bathrooms with an EV charger, dishwasher, and washing machine included. Greenaway Beach at 1.7 miles is only accessible on foot or by kayak - no car access - which keeps it considerably quieter than Polzeath even in August. Padstow via the water taxi is a practical evening option, removing the need to drive and park.
