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.

Another lovely stay
This was our 4th holiday at Rock Cottage and another lovely visit. The house is well equipped and comfortable allowing you to fully relax. The gardens surrounding the house are great for kids to play out on and the peaceful location is wonderful. We’ll be back again next year

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.

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.
