About this property
Tregillan is a secluded and detached self-catering holiday home, tucked away in a quiet area of Rock, Cornwall. With a large and enclosed, south-facing garden and sun terrace, ideal for alfresco dining, and resting within walking distance of Porthilly Cove and Rock Beach, Tregillan offers a delightful base for a family of eight. With generous proportions, the kitchen and dining room are open-plan, lending a further sense of space and light; throw open the dining room doors to the terrace to invite the outside in, a lovely spot to sunbathe or read the papers, surrounded by pretty garden borders. The bedrooms catch a glimpse of the beautiful Camel Estuary waters and countryside beyond, selecting between four rooms, featuring king-size and twin set ups; a bathroom, shower room and cloakroom are available for convenience. Saunter down the lane to access the sandy beach; a short stroll across the sands brings you to the sailing club and Mariner's pub, with great food on offer from Nathan Outlaw and locally brewed Sharp's beer. Exercise yourself and your dog on Porthilly Beach with its stunning view of Padstow, a traditional fishing harbour and vibrant foodie destination; you can even catch the ferry over the water to explore the many shops and historic buildings found in the town. Get away from it all by walking upriver along the Camel estuary towards Gentle Jane; amble past the mussel and oyster beds and look out for cormorants, little egrets, swans, and oystercatchers. Rent a dinghy from the sailing school and sail serenely upriver with the tide, passing water-skiers, cyclists on the Camel Trail and the occasional fisherman, before returning home for sundowners. All of this awaits at Tregillan.
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.

Enclosed and safe for the kids and our dog. The only small piece of feedback we had was that the patio area of the garden is in need of a little TLC - but it didnât detract from a fantastic break. We would

Plenty of space for the grandchildren to play inside and out. Would have been nice to have another fridge.
