About this property
Luxury house near beaches with beautiful country views, perfect for 2 families
Rocksalt is our lovely 4-bedroomed holiday home just outside Rock on the North Cornwall coast. Built and furnished to a 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 which offers water skiing, sailing and paddle boarding, the surfing beach of Polzeath and child-friendly Daymer Bay.
The accommodation is light and airy and comprises 4 large bedrooms with 2 en-suites and 1 family bathroom; an open-plan airy kitchen/lounge/dining area which is extremely well-equipped with large comfy sofas, a flat-screen HD TV and all mod cons. There is a south-facing garden which is fully secure, with a weber charcoal bbq and an outside hot and cold surfers' shower. The patio offers a great place to drink your morning coffee from our Nespresso machine! There is also direct access from the garden into a large field where children can play.
We have superfast unlimited broadband. You can watch BBC iplayer, YouTube etc on the TV and Netflix if you have an account.
Not only is the house well-served for numerous beautiful beaches but nearby there are four excellent golf courses as well as an enormous range of other activities including surfing, water-skiing, coasteering, kayaking, cycling, sailing and tennis. Days out include the quaint fishing village of Port Isaac (location for the TV series Doc Martin); Padstow with its shopping and superb restaurants including Rick Stein's famous 'Seafood Restaurant' (the water ferry runs constantly from Rock to Padstow during the day); the scenic Camel cycle trail from Bodmin to Padstow via Wadebridge (ideal for all ages and easy to organise cycle hire) and slightly further afield, the world renowned Eden Project. This is a perfect location for families, surfers, golfers, foodies and walkers.

Thank you Ros for a great stay. The house was impeccably clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect and the views simply amazing. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in Cornwall.
Had a lovely stay at this property a few weeks ago. Excellent base for exploring North Cornwall. Views from the house are just beautiful. House very well equipped and excellent communication from Ros, the owner, throughout our booking process. Would thoroughly recommend this property.
Well equipped and spacious property. We were blessed with lovely weather during our stay and so the location of less than 10 minutes from the beach was perfect. Good communication with owner and caretaker. Would return for another stay.
The property exceeded expectations: well-equipped, spacious and very clean. The house was comfortable and welcoming and in a great location - nothing was too far away. We had a great week enjoying local beaches, bike rides and food. Would not hesitate to recommend
Such a wonderful family break in Rocksalt. We thought it was going to be lovely but we were taken back by just how beautiful the views were. Everything we needed was provided. We would certainly return and also would highly recommend to anyone. A truly beautiful holiday home.
We had a lovely stay at Rocksalt. The accommodation is spacious , very clean & comfortable and in a great location for visiting this part of north Cornwall .
Kitchen is very well equipped for self catering with lots of pots/ pans and good supply of crockery & glasses. Great appliances too!
Communication with owner was excellent, who was very helpful & accomodating.
Will definitely visit again and would recommend to family & friends.
The house was lovely & really well equipped . We particularly liked the living room . It is suitable for all ages with a small garden . Contact with the owner was easy & he even sent me a text from New Zealand to say we could get in the house early ! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would not hesitate to go back .
We had plenty of space for our family of seven and thoroughly enjoyed the view from this well thought out retreat with comfortable seating for all. The children enjoyed the yard toys left for them and the adults enjoyed having a well stocked kitchen to enjoy some meals in. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming. Great location for visiting Polzeath beach and Tintagel Castle. Don’t forget to sample the Cornwall Pastis!
We have been visiting Cornwall for many years, staying close to Rock and padstow, Rocksalt has been by far our favourite stay. The location is great, just a stones throw from Rock where there’s a quick boat trip across to padstow or a quick drive to Polzeath.
The property was immaculately clean and tidy, lots of space for our family, plenty of outdoor space to relax and for the kids to play. Communication with Ros was great, a quick note to make sure we were happy with everything was appreciated.
Overall a great stay at a lovely property, hope to be back soon.
Barthek means wonderful in Cornish. I stay in rental properties often, usually arranging week-long vacations with family and friends. RockSalt is among the very best. Plenty of space, iconic view of the Cornish countryside, equipped with everything (and it all worked easily.) We had no hassles and the owner answered our questions quickly and throughly, obviously wanting us to have a wonderful time in a wonderful area of Cornwall.
We loved our stay at the property. It is a good size, is well decorated, great lay out and high quality furnishing.
The location worked for us, close to Polzeath, Rock and Wadebridge, yet out of the way enough to be away from the crowds.
Initially we wondered whether being on a site of holiday homes would be a problem, but it was quiet and all the other holiday makers were respectful. There is a good set up.
The house itself is a really good size and it is the little things that make a difference; three large comfy sofas; neff appliances; big comfy beds; powerful showers; plenty of plates and cutlery; outside shower to clean beach gear.
There is also a utility room to put beach towels, swimwear etc.
The outside space is good. The table could be a little bigger, but we only used a couple of times. The field at the back which is advertised as a space the kids can play is currently uncut, but makes for a nice view of wild flowers and long grass.
If I could add one small thing: a downstairs separate toilet, but that would be being picky on an overall excellent 10 star property. Would defo stay again if in the area.
I had an amazing stay at this property! Everything was exactly as described (if not better), and the space was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a great visit. The location was perfect — quiet and relaxing but still super a close walk to Edgartown center. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect MV getaway!!
