About this property

Exceptional holiday cottage

Rock Cottage is set in a peaceful location at Treglyn Farm near to the village of St Minver and close to the beaches of Rock, Daymer Bay, Polzeath and Port Isaac.

The North coast of Cornwall is a great place to visit at any time of year. The road between Newquay and Tintagel weaves its way through one of the finest and most spectacular coastlines in the country. Rock Cottage is in the perfect place to explore this part of Cornwall, with its considerable history and attractions.

The property is a stone built barn conversion with local slate roof. The beautifully furnished property is arranged over 2 floors. Ground floor patio doors to the back and front give views of the surrounding countryside and lead to large gardens and a patio with seating. The downstairs open plan living space consists of a farmhouse style dining table, comfortable sofas and chair, log burning stove, TV and DVD with Sky and WiFi. The new kitchen is well equipped with electric cooker and hob, washing machine, dishwasher, family sized fridge freezer and microwave. There is a downstairs loo and space to hang your coats in the entrance hall. You will find many fine paintings enhancing the walls throughout.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, one double, one twin/double and one bunk bedroom suitable for children. There is a newly fitted family bathroom with bath, over shower and loo.

We regret no dogs and no smoking allowed on the premises.

Beautiful family friendly house
We were so pleased to have stayed at Rock Cottage. We cannot fault this place. It’s spacious and has an open kitchen, dining and living area which is perfect for families. It is well heated and the fireplace was fantastic for cold winter nights. We loved visiting North Cornwall as we haven’t explored much in this area, but will definitely come back to Rock Cottage in the future!!

Excellent holiday accommodation
Rock Cottage is as near to perfection as you could hope to get in holiday accommodation. The cottage is extremely well equipped and the surrounding grounds are weel kept. Attention has been paid to even the smallest of details.like the provision of a welcoming "hamper" and nuts for feeding the birds and squirrels. The weather was kind to us and we had a great time. Many thanks to the owners for allowing us to stay in their cottage.

An absolute gem of a property
We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Cottage. The cottage itself is beautifully appointed and so tasteful yet comfortable with small children. The hosts have thought of everything and the welcome package on arrival after a long journey was wonderfully received and enjoyed. The communal lawn at the back of the property is a great space too for the children to kick a ball about and very safe/enclosed. We honestly couldn’t fault the cottage and have already booked in to come back in August!

Amazing property!
Absolutely beautiful and lovely cottage. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need and it was so nice to have a generous welcome pack when we arrived. The children loved the garden and we explored the woodland behind the property. It has been one of our favourite properties we have stayed at and would happily come back again in the future. Thank you to the owners who have made it a lovely, cosy cottage for their guests to enjoy.

We spent a week in Rock Cottage. The house is immaculately clean and a well kitted out kitchen - everything you need for self catering. Easy access by car to Rock, Padstow and all the other beautiful places Cornwall has to offer. We spent 6 of our days walking the South West Coast Path, which is stunning!

Very pleasant break!
Rock Cottage is beautifully finished and provides a great base to explore wonderful North Cornwall. Instructions are simple, appliances of a high standard, and plenty of room for our family of four to enjoy a great week together. It's a shame the footpath from Higher Treglyn (nice row of properties adjoining) towards Chapel Amble is completely overgrown but that's nothing to do with the super hosts. Check out the giant slip-n-slide just along the road for an hour of fun!

Relaxing, peaceful location, well equipped accommodation, all we needed!
The booking, pre arrangements, communication, arrival and check in, cleanliness and welcome in the house was excellent! It is a great location in a quiet group of cottages but near to a good road from which you can access the local towns, shops, restaurants, tourist attractions and beautiful beaches. We enjoyed everything about the house and the area. We are planning to return!

A wonderful cottage
My friend and I stayed in Rock Cottage whilst visiting Cornwall, and it was the perfect place for it. Very light and airy inside, with plenty of room and character. Generous outside space also means you can enjoy the weather when it allows, and its location is very tranquil. Hosts very kindly left us some gifts upon arrival. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful comfortable home
Lovely home from home beautifully decorated and spotless throughout. Huge front and back garden for our 1 1/2 year old to play in, patio and bbq, plus further green space in the adjoining communal areas. Few other cottages were occupied so it was extremely quiet, though even if they were I suspect it would still be incredibly peaceful. Lovely welcome pack and nice to have other little things like coffee granules and tea, olive oil etc in the cupboards. Excellent comms with the owner (whose beautiful paintings adorn the walls). Recommend Pitymee Inn village shop, Rock n Roll Plaice fish and chips, the ferry to Padstow, cycling the Camel Trail and all the usual beaches. A great spot. Hope to return next year!

About the host

Hosted by John Grice

Host profile image
We have spent our holidays in Cornwall for many years. Our first visit was in 1976 when we spent our honeymoon in the area. It has been a favourite destination ever since. Our love of the unique atmosphere and vibrant art scene has drawn us back year after year. Our children and grandchildren now visit and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful beaches too. We hope you will love Cornwall as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Rock Cottage was incredibly well appointed with beautiful surroundings. We were drawn to the rural peaceful setting. The property's proximity to some of Cornwall's best beaches made this the perfect family holiday location.

What makes this property unique

There are great opportunities for the active. You can surf, swim, sail, and cycle. You can hike the coastal paths and explore nearby Bodmin Moor. For the 'foodies' you will not have to travel too far to find Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver and Nathan Outlaw well represented by their very own restaurants.
