LOCAL AREA

Located within an area of outstanding natural beauty this special piece of Cornwall offers something for everyone.

With the South West coast path just one mile down the road at Port Quin, you can hop on and either head north to Port Isaac or south to Polzeath. Either way you’ll stumble upon rocky coves, old mines and even ancient hill forts.



Port Quin is also the perfect place for a sheltered sea swim, BBQ, kayak or paddle board. With hire available through the summer months.



With Port Isaac only 1.5 miles away as the crow flys you’re on the doorstep of this beautiful fishing village, with pubs, local shops and fine dining all available.

Padstow is just a short hop on the ferry across the Camel estuary from Rock. Here you can find Rich Steins fish and chips, the famous harbour and lots of great things to see and do.

If you’ve come for a beach holiday you’re in luck. Too many to name. Polzeath is the most famous with its golden sand and surf just 4 miles away. You will find good facilities, life guards through the summer and surf equipment hire. Plus plenty of places to eat and drink.



Daymer bay is another beach just around from Polzeath. At the mouth of the river Camel it provides calm waters and a safe Sandy beach perfect for young families.



If you prefer more remote beach’s you can try Epphaven or Lundy bay. Both accessible at low tide they offer a great escape in the summer months if you’re up for an adventure.



For cyclists this part of Cornwall offers an extensive network of deserted country lanes. If you avoid the main roads you can travel through lots of the small inland villages and hamlets without meeting many vehicles. Try heading inland towards St Kew or St Maybn and stop for a nice bit of lunch at these great Cornish pubs.

The Camel trail is another great option, starting near Bodmin moor and running around 20 miles down to Padstow. With hire available in Wadebridge, Padstow and Bodmin you have lots of options for starting points.
