About this property
Greenaway, 4 Rockhaven Gardens is a delightful, coastal sanctuary for families or couples, resting in the seaside town of Rock. The property offers homely living just a few minutes from the delights of the Camel Estuary, and many more attractions throughout the coast of Cornwall. This three-bedroom, detached holiday home offers an ideal base from which to explore the area whilst being tucked away in a residential area with all the convenience of being just up the road from the main village of Rock. Through the entrance hallway, the spacious kitchen offers the opportunity to whip up a full English breakfast to energise your troops or to come back to prepare an evening family feast, and from here, discover the dining area just off the kitchen, giving a social space where you can all sit around the table, catching up after your day at the beach. Out from the large picture window of the dining area, you have the view of your private, secluded garden at the back of the house; perfect for soaking up the last of the sun rays or enjoying breakfast outside in the fresh countryside air. From the hallway, the contemporary sitting room at the front of the house invites you in to relax, snuggle up and spend time together, featuring a smart TV, DVD player and PS3 for your enjoyment, as well as the added ambience of a woodburning stove. Once you have fully wound down and perhaps been tempted to a nightcap, you can retire for the night for a peaceful slumber; the master bedroom at the back of the house includes a tasteful en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower for that extra comfort and your own personal space. The front double bedroom boasts a beautiful sleigh bed which will draw you in at the end of the day whilst the stylish bunk bedroom gives children their own retreat to relax in. There is a separate, renovated family bathroom to allow the rest of the family to refresh in their own area, equipped with a tempting bath that is poised ready to be filled with bubbles and a practical, stand-alone shower. If the idea of cooking whilst on holiday does not seem like a relaxing hobby, the Pityme Pub is just a short walk around the corner, and The Mariners Public House in Rock, Rock Bakery, Watts Butchers, and more restaurants are still almost on your doorstep, being just a short drive down the road for even more choice in booking to eat out or to stock up on local wares. For your days bathed in sunshine, further up through Trebetherick the idyllic Daymer Bay offers calm shores and more gentle, lapping waves for children to paddle in, or for bare foot walks with your toes in the sand. Don your wetsuit shoes and grasp a net to discover the marine treasures awaiting them in the rock pools of Greenaway, which lies just above Daymer Bay. For activities on and in the water, you need not leave Rock as the Sailing School and Camel Ski School can assist with booking you in to expend your energy on the estuary instead! Other places to visit include the lovely seaside towns of Polzeath, Wadebridge, and Tintagel. Make a Cornish getaway to remember with a stay at the delightful Greenaway, 4 Rockhaven Gardens.
Rock is a desirable and much sought after coastal village located on the north eastern bank of the River Camel opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow which is easily reached by a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling. Continuing on a sporting theme, the golf course at nearby St Enodoc is considered to be one of the best in the country. With an abundance of world class beaches all within a short radius it is easy to see why Rock holds its popularity.

We have stayed at a number properties in Rock and this is by far our favourite. Very helpful with the well equipped kitchen too!

The garden is secure, so if you are bringing your dog like we did you will have no concerns about them escaping. Just one tiny detail that was missed, is that we couldn't find a clothes horse anywhere in the property to dry our clothes. There is a washing line but unfortunately we didn't have great weather so wasn't much good, in the end I used the tumble dryer but I was very conscious of the cost, especially as the smart meter is located next to the tumble dryer! Overall a fab property and we hope to be back soon.

Located at the top of rock. And just a few second walk to the pityme pub. The property was nice and airy with everything you could possibly need. Could do with a new bbq as current one is old and rusty. We loved the log fire place so cosy in the evenings.
