About this property
Little Sailing, a detached, holiday bungalow, resting in a quiet, residential area off the main thoroughfare of Rock, is a practical and attractively furnished home, ideal for a Cornish escape. With the village shops and services just a short walk away, along with proximity to the nearby footpath, leading towards Porthilly Cove and Rock Beach, Little Sailing offers a well-located base for up to six guests and furry companions on request. Guests will enjoy the pretty garden and sunny patio, a haven for alfresco dining, whilst the garage offers additional storage space for beach kit. Well-proportioned rooms give a sense of space; the sitting room feels particularly generous, with light flowing in through wide French windows. The farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room is very well-equipped with a lovely display of local pottery on the dresser; this is a cheerful, bright place to cook and dine as a family. Bedrooms feel fresh and calming; one has a king-size bed, whilst the other two are twin-bedded rooms. A holiday in Rock provides a fabulous Cornish seaside experience; a very fashionable destination, it is no surprise that this part of North Cornwall is so popular. The landscape of azure seas, yellow sands and dark rugged cliffs are mesmerizingly beautiful. Walking with your dog and your family across the beaches with the views across the Camel estuary and out to sea are inspiring and uplifting; no wonder people return to holiday here year after year. Sailing and water-skiing are just a couple of the water sports available at Rock; check out the waves of Polzeath beach for great surfing and boogie-boarding. Daymer Bay is heavenly for children with gentle waters and soft sands, or why not end your break in Wadebridge, full of eateries, shops and riverfront taverns, and access to the Camel Trail (Cycle Way)? All of this awaits by booking Little Sailing.
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.

Had everything you could possibly need but most importantly super clean and comfy beds and gorgeous fluffy white towels. The kitchen was fabulous with every item you could want but would be helpful if there was an empty cupboard for food and provisions

Lots of space, all necessary equipment, very comfortable beds, lovely outdoor space and a great location - easy to walk to Rock and the beach, ideal for the shops and a short drive to other beaches. Would happily rebook.
