Self Catering Holiday Accommodation in North Cornwall, at Rock

To view our superb collection of properties at Rock, please use the links on the right.

Rock is on the north side of the Camel estuary opposite the fishing port of Padstow. It is ideal for sailing, windsurfing, waterskiing and canoeing in the relatively calm waters, and there is tuition and hire available for all these activities. Rock Sailing Club is on the quay and welcomes visitors to the area who might like to join in the racing during the summer months. There are both junior and senior Camel race weeks organised, when Rock becomes very lively.

The ferry runs all year during daylight hours for foot passengers between Rock and Padstow. During the evening there is a water taxi available, so going over to eat at one of the many restaurants in Padstow becomes easy and fun. Fishing trips for mackerel and pollack can be arranged from the pontoon or just a trip around the beautiful coastline to see the birds on a fine day.

The Camel Trail which runs from Padstow right up to Bodmin Moor is a must for cyclists. Bikes can be hired in Padstow or Wadebridge with all sorts of combinations for taking children of all ages. The Trail runs along the estuary as far as Wadebridge, and if the tide is right, you will see a large variety of waders and all sorts of coastal birds. From Wadebridge all the way to Poley's Bridge, you still cycle along the Camel Trail through fields and woods and the higher up you go, the quieter it gets.

The famous St. Enodoc golf course is at Rock and borders the Camel Estuary with quite spectacular views. It has two 18 hole courses. There are also excellent courses nearby at Roserrow, St. Kew, Camelford, Trevose and Lanhydrock. Rock is particularly well served with shops for self catering where you can buy fresh local produce. It has a butcher, fish shop, baker, post office, paper shop, delicatessen and a really good general store that has an off licence. There are also plenty of good pubs and restaurants both in Rock and the surrounding villages.
