Large St Minver Cottage

This spacious and contemporary home is set in the heart of the sought-after village of Rock in North Cornwall. Sleeping up to eight guests, this is the perfect base for families and groups of friends planning days of coastal adventures together. The village boasts a good choice of places to eat and drink, with the nearest pub/restaurant just 200 metres away, and the beach just 1.3 miles from the property. Discover Padstow by car (13.5 miles), or leave the car at home and instead catch the Rock-Padstow foot ferry. On arrival, Padstow presents a lively harbour lined with award-winning seafood restaurants, as well as bars, galleries and independent shops. For days of scenic walking, the South West Coast Path starts at Rock Quarry car park and runs through Rock and follows the River Camel towards New Polzeath (3 miles) in one direction and Wadebridge (5 miles) in the other.

Step into this chic, two-storey retreat and be greeted by a light-filled interior that blends crisp white decor with modern fixtures and fittings for an indulgent stay. Kick off your sandy shoes and hang coats in the entrance space before uncovering the ground floor's choice of social spaces. The open-plan lounge diner is one of the highlights of the home, offering a spacious and airy room thanks to bi-fold doors that lead to the garden. Unwind here as the Smart TV streams and the designated chef cooks up a storm in the adjoining kitchen, which features everything needed for a self-catered stay. Find more space to spread out in the cosy snug, where plush seating is arranged around a Smart TV, perfect for younger guests seeking a quiet moment. There is an additional lounge space for relaxing, a handy utility area for taking care of holiday laundry, and a garage equipped with an additional fridge/freezer and a table tennis table. Completing the ground floor is a family shower room. Climb the modern staircase to the first floor to find the four beautiful en-suite bedrooms, all of which feature coastal touches that reflect your seaside surroundings. The flexible super-king-size bedroom can be converted into a twin room on request and is served by its own en-suite shower room. You'll also find a chic double bedroom and a twin room, both also served by en-suite shower rooms, meaning no queues each morning. The fourth bedroom is a twin (which can be converted to a super-king-size on request) boasting a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bath.

Step out through the living space's bi-fold doors and make full use of the sun-soaked garden. Laid to lawn and enclosed, this is a great spot for children and pets to spend their energy. Gather on the furnished patio for evening tipples and al fresco meals, make use of the outdoor shower after days on the beach, and benefit from ample private parking on the driveway.
