What a joy to be able to park the cars, and not to have to get into them again; from the front door of Padilly there is a footpath leading down to Porthilly Cove, a mere 300 yards away! This property will appeal to of the families with young children who would like to leave the car at home.

This lovely, bright and spacious self-catering holiday home in Rock, Cornwall, is quietly situated down a short, private lane, off the hustle and bustle of the lower quarter of the Rock Road; the village shops are not far away, and the Sailing Club, the ferry to Padstow and the water are even nearer!

The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and there is lots of space both outside and indoors, including a lovely roof terrace leading off the living spaces on the first floor with attractive views of the estuary.
