About this property

Traditional Charming Cottage Above Sandy Beach - a welcoming Family Holiday Home

Rock House is located in a small hamlet on the coast of North Cornwall a short amble from the South West Coast Path. The village of Trebarwith Strand with its famous surfing beach is within a few minutes walk and the Cornish section of the wonderful cliff path, which meanders for some 630 miles around the coast offering spectacular views and an uninterrupted walk from Minehead to Poole, is within a stone’s throw of the front door. Rock House is a beautiful old slate building with a traditional Cornish cottage feel. The house has a well equipped kitchen which is - like the rest of the house - cosy and stylish. The kitchen includes a good sized fridge freezer, two ovens, a microwave and electric hob. There is a full range of equipment and (if you're visiting in the colder months) a Rayburn stove which warms the cockles, dries socks, heats the water and bakes bread. Outside, a small lawned garden and a pretty, cloistered slate barbecue area is available.. perfect for those sunny summer evenings. The barbecue area incorporates an outside loo and utility room equipped with washing machine and dryer which can be made available for guests. The house also has cosy bathrooms, comfy beds and can be let complete with linen and towels.. We also offer complimentary toiletries, from the fabulous Arran Aromatics Feel Good range, to all our guests. Rock House is spacious and has three main bedrooms, the master bedroom with 5' double bed and adjoining ensuite shower room (with underfloor heating for those cold winter mornings), the guest room with another double and the children's room with two singles and a bunk. There is a travel cot for babies (although we do ask guests to bring their own baby linen) which will fit comfortably into any of the three bedrooms. The main bathroom - which has a bath, loo and washbasin - and the two double rooms have a wonderful view across the valley. There is a sitting room with comfy chairs and an open fire, which is also equipped with TV, DVD/BluRay, Stereo and a great collection of movies and books. A good sized dining room with the Rayburn stove in an inglenook, comfortably seats eight. Treknow, within an easy walk of Tintagel, is a small settlement of some 100 dwellings established it is said, in the early part of the 16th century to house the quarry workers who served the stone merchant vessels which landed at the nearby natural harbour. Rock House itself is reputed to be the home of quarry captain, “Captain Jack”. It is the second oldest house in the village and built of Cornish slate (no doubt from Captain Jack’s quarry) and is full of old fashioned charm. There are plenty of charming local pubs and restaurants within walking distance, including the spectacular “Port William’ perched above the beach with its entrancing views of the ocean. The North Cornwall coast is peppered with secluded coves, peaceful walks, great beaches, charming towns and fishing villages. Padstow, now renowned for its association with Rick Stein as much as for its pretty harbour, fishing fleet and winding lanes is within easy reach as is Port Isaac an historic village with a real Cornish feel and the filming location for ITV’s “Doctor Martin”. If you’re a keen walker, surfer, beach bum, foodie or real ale fan, there is no better place to find spectacular views, varied walks, charming pubs, restaurants and real relaxation and if you have a young family, there’s plenty to do within easy reach. Please note that Treknow Cottages maintains a no smoking policy in all accommodation.
