About this property
Bahari is a spacious and well-appointed bungalow, tucked away on the outskirts of the charming seaside town of Rock, Cornwall. Ideal for both families and friends alike, this three-bedroom holiday home is the perfect base from which to explore this spectacular part of the country. Private parking greets you at the foot of this lovely dwelling, ideal for those days when you want to get out and explore your surroundings, whilst making loading and unloading an easy task. Dust off your sandy toes as you step inside and make your way over to the first of two sitting rooms, providing the perfect place to snuggle into an armchair and recount the day's adventures with your friends and family, or put your feet up and catch your favourite TV show as the glow of the electric fire gently warms the room. The contemporary kitchen/diner offers the perfect sociable space to prepare delicious meals throughout your staycation, where an electric oven and hob assist the designated chef, while the handy dishwasher makes cleaning up a breeze. Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together with your loved ones at the dining table, to indulge in the fruits of your labour, or make mealtimes an alfresco affair by stepping out onto the patio, a lovely spot to soak in the last of the evening sun with your favourite tipple.

A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of the quaint village of Rock, where you can take a break from doing the cooking and treat your loved ones to an indulgent meal at one of the local eateries, with The Mariners Public House serving delicious pub grub with a view of the coast, whilst The Dining Room offers an intimate fine dining experience. Avid golfers will be delighted with the close proximity to the world-renowned St Enodoc Golf Club, boasting an 18-hole fairway and panoramic views across the coastline, whilst lazy days can be spent lounging amongst the golden sands of Rock Beach. Those looking for a more thrilling experiences can take to the waves with a lesson in surfing or sailing, or for more seaside adventures, travel north to the nearby village of Polzeath. Be sure to pack your walking boots and follow the South West Coast Path toward Pentire Point, or traverse further along the headland to the picture-perfect fishing village of Port Isaac, famed as the backdrop for the much-loved television series, Doc Martin. Make lasting memories of your retreat to Cornwall with a stay at Bahari.

Beds were comfy and showers very good. Rest of the house was a little tired and old fashioned but location was very good. We found a cut through walk to Porthilly and Rock from the house which was a bonus with the dog. Maybe next year the sun loungers could be replaced as they are looking a bit dirty and sad. I'm sure the owners will carry a bit of maintenance work during the winter as there are a few loose slates on garden wall and a large hole in the patio. Not great if you have small children. Overall we enjoyed our week.

Nice quiet area. Sadly the garden furniture is old and damage and no gates down side of property. The kitchen needs updating and probably a clean. I understand things cost money. the cost of renting the property reflects in what the property is like.
