Seastar

Seastar is a four-bedroom cottage in the Rock area of north Cornwall, sleeping 10 with 4 bathrooms, an enclosed garden and a private hot tub. The hot tub is at extra cost and must be ordered at least 7 days before arrival. The living space is on the ground floor, with a shower room there and the four bedrooms on the first floor. Parking, WiFi, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. Thursday changeover.

Daymer Bay is 1.6 miles from the cottage - a sheltered sandy estuary beach that is reliable for families and calmer water. Polzeath, with its surf beach and beginner-friendly waves, is 1.9 miles. Greenaway Beach is 1.8 miles. The Rock waterfront gives access to the seasonal passenger water taxi to Padstow across the Camel Estuary - useful if you want to visit the town without a 30-minute drive around the estuary.

The village of Rock itself is small - a sailing club, a handful of restaurants, and the beach are the main draws. For a larger supermarket or evening out with more options, Wadebridge is about 5 miles south.

Good for large family groups or two or three couples sharing, particularly those who want a hot tub and beach proximity in north Cornwall. Suits families with children who want safe estuary swimming at Daymer Bay. Not great for those who want to walk to a beach - the distances require a car or bikes. Well-behaved pets are welcome. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.
