About the home
Rocksalt is a stunning brand new 4-bedroomed holiday home just outside Rock on the North Cornwall coast. Built and furnished to a very high standard in 2008, the house is situated in a glorious setting with far-reaching views over the Cornish countryside, yet is only a few minutes drive from Rock, the surfing beach of Polzeath and child-friendly Daymer Bay beach.
The accommodation is light and airy and comprises 4 large bedrooms with 2 en-suites and 1 family bathroom; an open-plan luxury kitchen/lounge/dining area with large comfy sofas, a 42" LCD tv and all mod cons. There is a south-facing garden (which is now fully secure as it is fenced at the front and back) with a weber charcoal bbq and an outside hot and cold surfers' shower.
Not only is the house well-served for numerous beautiful beaches, but within 10 miles there are four excellent golf courses, as well as the quaint fishing village of Port Isaac (location for the TV series Doc Martin); Padstow with its famous Rick Stein restaurants; the Camel cycle trail and slightly further afield, the world renowned Eden Project. This is a perfect location for families, surfers, golfers, foodies and walkers.

Returning to RockSalt for the third time we knew what to expect, spacious accommodation, great location and a place where you can immediately feel at home. We had stayed at the house with family twice before (my nephews want to go back EVERY year) and this was our first trip with a group of friends. They loved the house as soon as they arrived and settled in straight away. It is superbly located in this very popular area of North Cornwall and provided a great base to visit Rock, Polzeath, Padstow, Daymer Bay, Port Isaac (home of ITV's Doc Martin), St. Ives and more. Close to local amenities in Rock and Polzeath and with supermarket shopping at Wadebridge (Tesco) less than 10 minutes away this is a superb spot to base your holiday in Cornwall. We arrived at the end of October and stayed until Bonfire Night, the weather was kind and the surf big, so we were at the beach everyday and did as much as we would have wanted to in a summer holiday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were keen to go back - in fact some of our friends have already booked to take their families in the spring! I would not hesitate to recommend this holiday rental - excellent. |

This is a spacious and well-laid out holiday home with lovely views. We very much liked the location, which was convenient to many lovely areas on the north Cornwall coast. You need a car to get anywhere but we were well aware of this on booking. |
