The Moorings

The Moorings is a detached three-bedroom home in Rock village on the Camel Estuary, sleeping 6 across 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. The house comes with a garden, BBQ, parking, wifi, dishwasher, and washing machine. Dogs are not accepted. With two bathrooms for six guests, the morning rush is manageable. Greenaway Beach is about 1.6 miles away.

Rock sits directly opposite Padstow, connected by a water taxi that runs every 20 minutes through the day - giving access to Rick Stein's restaurants and the harbour without driving. The village has its own sailing school, a handful of restaurants, and St Enodoc Golf Club nearby. Daymer Bay - a sheltered, dog-friendly sandy beach at the mouth of the Camel - is about 1.3 miles south. Polzeath with its reliable beach-break surf is about 2 miles north.

The Camel Trail cycle path can be joined at Wadebridge, 4 miles south, running along the estuary to Padstow. Port Isaac is about 8 miles north. Changeover is Friday.

**Best for:** Families and couples who want estuary-side village life, easy access to Padstow, and both calm and surf beaches within a short drive.

**Less good for:** Those on a tight budget - Rock is one of Cornwall's pricier villages.
