St Michaels

St Michaels is a three-bedroom cottage at Porthilly Lane in Rock, sleeping 6 with 2 bathrooms. The property has a wood-burning stove and open fire, accessible features throughout, and parking. Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. No garden, no pets, no sea view.

Rock beach is 350 yards - a wide, sandy estuary-mouth beach with calm, shallow water that runs out a long way at low tide. It faces south across the Camel Estuary towards Padstow, and is well-suited to families with young children. The passenger ferry to Padstow runs regularly in season, taking about 10 minutes and making the restaurants on the Padstow quay accessible without driving.

Daymer Bay is 2.2km north - a smaller, south-facing bay set back into the dunes, sheltered from the prevailing wind. Polzeath, a surfing beach facing Atlantic swells, is 3.6km. The Camel Estuary path links Rock to Wadebridge for cycling or walking.

The wood burner and open fire extend the practical season into autumn and spring, when Rock is quieter and less expensive than in July and August. The accessible features make this a more viable option than most North Cornwall cottages for guests with mobility needs.

Right for groups wanting Rock's beach-focused setting with proper heating and good accessibility. Friday changeover. 29 Sykes reviews.

Daymer Bay Beach is 2.2km from the cottage and one of the most sheltered beaches on the north coast.
