About this property
Slipway 7 is an attractive, end-of-terrace holiday cottage positioned on the North Cornwall coast in Rock. This superb property is set over three floors with fantastic views across the camel estuary, offering high quality accommodation for a relaxing family holiday by the sea. On the ground floor are two inviting bedrooms, a king-size, a bunk bedroom, both with a wash basin and vanity mirror. On the first floor is a stylish, open-plan living area with a well-appointed kitchen and dining area, perfect for creating and enjoying delicious meals, and a welcoming sitting area, extending out to the balcony, the ultimate spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a relaxing glass of wine. On the second floor are two further bedrooms, a bunk bedroom (with two 3' wide beds) and a twin, both sharing a lovely family bathroom. There is a utility room with shower located on the ground floor, whilst outside is a small patio area and private parking. Rock is renowned as the watersports hub of the region, with paddleboarding, speedboat trips and fishing trips on offer. The mile long golden sandy beach is an inviting spot for soaking up the sun and beautiful scenery, whilst across the estuary is Padstow, a stunning fishing harbour, accessible via a daily foot ferry, with plenty of galleries, gift shops and eateries. Well-kept coastal paths take you around to the neighbouring cove of Daymer Bay with its crystal-clear sheltered waters, perfect for a swim, before returning home for sundowners. Whether you like spending time building sandcastles or enjoying an exhilarating speedboat ride, Slipway 7 is ideal for families holidaying by the sea.
Rock is a desirable and much sought after coastal village located on the north eastern bank of the River Camel opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow which is easily reached by a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling. Continuing on a sporting theme, the golf course at nearby St Enodoc is considered to be one of the best in the country. With an abundance of world class beaches all within a short radius it is easy to see why Rock holds its popularity.

Property was exactly as described and pictures were accurate. Clean and well equipped - all good to go on our arrival. Worth noting that it sleeps 8, but probably only about 6 adults as the bunk rooms are quite snug.
