Tresow

Tresow is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom cottage in a private close at Tredrizzick, near Rock, sleeping 8. The cottage has a ground-floor shower room, an open fire in the sitting room, and a small lawned garden - useful details for larger groups. Bed linen and towels are not included in the rent. WiFi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. Changeover is Friday.

Daymer Bay is 1.7 miles north - a sheltered, sandy estuary beach with calm shallow water, dog-friendly year-round, and the dunes around St Enodoc Church behind it, where John Betjeman is buried. Polzeath Beach is 2.5 miles away, with reliable surf and multiple surf schools operating in season. Rock beach on the Camel Estuary is the nearest water, with the water taxi to Padstow running every 20 minutes through the day in season.

Rock and the surrounding area work well as a base for the north Cornwall coast. The Camel Trail cycle path reaches Wadebridge in 4 miles. The water taxi across to Padstow opens up the harbour, restaurants, and the Camel Estuary on foot. Port Isaac is about 8 miles north along the coast road.

**Best for:** Large families or two-household groups wanting a spacious cottage, within range of both calm estuary and open surf beaches.

**Less good for:** Guests needing to be on the beach on foot - all nearby beaches require a short drive. Not dog-friendly. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.
