Great Location on Rock Road

We really enjoyed our stay at Hollyhocks and the location was great for walking to the local shops, down to the beach, restaurants and St Enodoc Hotel. A nice spacious cottage with a south facing enclosed garden that was good for our 2 small dogs and sitting in the sunshine. Wendy was really helpful and additional cleaning supplies were available for our stay.

Ideal for us

The property was well found , comfortable and well equipped. We were delighted to find bicycles, wet suits and surf boards in the shed. A barbecue would be good as well! The geography being so close to Rock, Polzeath and Daymer Bay is perfect. We had a wonderful week.

A great place to stay

Lovely, fairly spacious house. There were five of us plus one dog (nice secure back garden). Friendly pub just a 2 minute walk & other handy local shops nearby, e.g. nice bakery. A great base for various places, e.g. Polzeath Beach, Padstow, Port Isaac etc. Lovely beaches. Great surfing. The owner (Wendy) was very quick to respond & helpful too. Thank you.

Cosy house, great location

Just back from a very relaxing stay in this cosy home. Lovely attention to detail, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, sunny garden and excellent hosts. Ideal location for popping to shops, restaurants and pub. Beach is a walk downhill, so uphill on the way back, but well worth the effort! Very safe garden for dogs and kids, and well stocked garden shed with bikes, boards etc. Close to the road, but there is no noise at night, slept soundly! Can highly recommend a holiday here.

August in Rock

Lovely cottage, very thoughtfully equipped and homely. Great to have use of bikes (if you wish), body boards and wet suits which save space in the car. Lovely area, lots of lovely places to walk, do watersports and sight-see. Loved The Mariners for a cheeky drink on a hot day and the boat trip over to Padstow for fish and chips is a must. Thank you MoorToSea

Superb

Lovely comfortable cottage with all the amenities you require. Great enclosed garden and superbly located to visit other areas. Short drive to Port Isaac and Rock with ferry over to Padstow which we did a few times. The Pityme Inn (a short walk) is great with lovely food and great staff. Tasting Rooms in Padstow also worth a visit. All in all a great last minute fund for us and we will definitely back for longer! Thank you x

Great location for stunning strolls

Clean throughout and has everything you need in the kitchen. Bedrooms great size and nice showers. Good location to walk from, or short drive to most places. We loved our holiday stay. The beds were comfy but if your on the tall side, they were framed so you can't put your feet over the end. It was nice to have off road parking, but if you have anything wider than a fiesta you might find it tight. Nice to be close to the beach, but it is a hardy stroll there and back. Overall a great place to stay, would be happy to book again.

Clean, warm and comfortable

We had a great stay at Hollyhocks. Cottage is clean warm and comfortable with all mod cons and everything you could need for a self catering holiday. We were very lucky with the weather, managing to lunch in the garden a few times. Hollyhocks is located about 20-30 minutes walk from the beach, on the main Rock Road, but with plenty of footpaths to take across the golf course, its a pleasant walk. The only thing that would improve the stay is the provision of towels for guests. Wendy is a great host and we would definitely recommend.

Our stay near Rock

Overall an enjoyable week spent at this house. The living room is very spacious and the garden was pleasant to sit in (apart from during the week when the builders were operating diggers and breakers). Found the kitchen very small and the fridge freezer was very undersized for a family with small kids. Irritating being in a cupboard so you had to open two doors to get in the fridge. As it's right on the main road into Rock it isn't a peaceful spot with the traffic going past but good location for day trips to Rock and Daymer Bay which we love .

Fantastic location for exploring Cornwall

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in rock. The location of the cottage was fantastic for exploring an that Cornwall has to offer and the kids enjoyed getting the ferry over to Padstow, which we did on several occasions. Plenty of options for dining without needing to use the car, supermarket deliveries available which we did, however, the village shops are well stocked so if we came again we would just use those. My only small comment would be that the listing had said there was a dryer so we only bought 4 days worth of clothes to save car space and took washing tablets with us but when it came to having the first load of washing to do we found it was just a washer and not a washer dryer. With the weather not being great it took us two days to get the washing dry inside which wasn't ideal. If we'd known this facility wasn't available we would have packed accordingly. If you stay, don't leave trying the bakery to the last day like we did, it's fantastic!

Rock

This is a well equipped and comfortable house on the main road into Rock. But don't let its position put you off as traffic noise really isn't an issue. Inside, the house has everything you might need: 3 decent sized bedrooms, one on-suite bathroom and one separate bathroom, a well fitted kitchen, a good dining area and a spacious sitting room. At the back of the house, there's a modest garden and seating area. Not something we took advantage of, our stay being at the end of October. It looked good though, viewed from a sitting room heated by a wood burning stove. One potential issue may be parking. Luckily, we took one car (there was a point when we almost took three) as the house only really has off-road parking for one vehicle and I'm not sure where else you can park. The centre of Rock is a sturdy walk away but there are some very good food shops much closer, including a decent bakery, a good butcher and a well stocked general store. There's also an intriguing fish'n'chip shop - I say fish'n'chips but in amongst the usual fare, offerings include battered scallops (the bivalve not the tuber) and calamari fritti. Only in Rock. Also in Rock, Nathan Outlaw at the St. Enodoc Hotel. Mortgage whatever's necessary and go. It really is that good. Overall the four of us (my wife, our two grown up daughters and I) had a very pleasant week and the house not only offered us everything we needed but was also an ideal base from which to explore parts of Cornwall we hadn't been to since the girls were much younger. Don't know what else to say other than we'll be back. Which is, I guess, recommendation enough.

Cornwall Treat

The house is on a quite busy road, but once you’re inside it’s barely noticeable. There’s plenty of off road parking space which is a bonus. The house is nicely decorated in a calm seaside theme. It was warm when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped. I’d definitely consider booking this again.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Head moortoseacottages

We are Mark, Wendy & Ellie and we live on Dartmoor in Devon with our hens and ducks. We owned holiday cottages in a nearby village for 12 years, then took a break to bring up our daughter. We had the opportunity to purchase property in Rock, Cornwall which have been successful as holiday rentals. We have now converted the barn which was the site of the original Manor House before it burnt down. It has a 'home from home' feel which is important so you can relax and enjoy your holiday. We have added things we have collected over the years to make it feel homely for our guests. If you wish to plan a two centre holiday we aim to provide short breaks at both location except in high season.
We are nearby if needed but Cowshed has a private garden giving full seclusion for relaxation. We have added Bryher in Rock, then Morocco House, Kingswear Dartmouth in 2019 and in 2020 Sandbar in S Cornwall moortoseacottages.

Why they chose this property

Hollyhocks & Bryher offer comfort and peace yet are a few minutes walk to the local shops, beaches, golf and water sports activities. The accommodation is flexible to suit families or groups and provides a good base for seeking out the other local treasures such as Port Isaac and Boscastle.
Hollyhocks is a cosy yet spacious home and great for us as we live amongst granite tors and rolling fields, but the pull of the ocean lures us away to enjoy Rock and the surrounding area. Bryher provides a modern alternative for smaller parties.
The Cowshed is a fantastic base for exploring Dartmoor and Devon. It is modern and spacious with its own private courtyard garden within our grounds. Nearby villages provide all you need an have excellent dining and shops. Two centre holidays an option. Morocco House Nr Dartmouth added moortoseacottages

What makes this property unique

In Rock we enjoy walking to local shops and to the nearby beaches, our favourite walk is from Daymer Bay to Polzeath and in warm seas you can see dolphins swimming.
We love the convenience of having everything nearby, strolling to the beach and ferry and accessing all the lovely walks. Our daughter still enjoys messing about in the surf, taking photos and equally enjoys the shopping experiences of local villages and towns. Once in Cornwall nowhere is that far away and there are gardens and National Trust houses to visit, seal sanctuaries and tourist attractions. The Eden project is well worth a visit too.
Our Dartmoor property is surrounded by beautiful countryside, plenty of attractions or peaceful walks. The Cathedral city of Exeter provides shops, history and plenty of places to eat. Explore Dartmoor and enjoy a cream tea along the way.
