Within the vicinity of the cottage are several beaches - the nearest being Porthilly Beach. In addition, there is Daymer Bay, a well-known surfing and sunbathing beach and the Church of St Enodoc - made famous by association with John Betjeman, the former poet laureate, who is buried in the graveyard.

Rock has several amenities - Restaurants (one of which 'The Black pig' has a Michelin star), cafes, pub, butcher, bakery, petrol station, post office, and a well-stocked village shop.

There is also the popular St Enodoc golf course, great coastal walks and cycling on the famous Camel Trail at nearby Wadebridge.

Puffins Anniversary holiday

Nice place spoilt by overgrown garden and problems with appliances. Nice walk down a foot path with the dog to Porthilly cove and easy to walk to Rock beach and Daymer bay.

Lovely little cottage

The cottage parking was convenient. The cottage was as advertised. A cute but comfortable house. Nice walk to the beach. Nice area. Should the weather have allowed, I’m sure we’d have used the little garden area.

Lovely Cornish Break

Stayed at Puffins for a week. Lovely cottage, as described in ad. Location was great - easy to walk to the village store and down to the beach (and Mariners pub!), with Porthilly Cove just around the corner. Cottage is nicely presented and very clean. When we had a small problem with the washing machine, the maintenance team was really quick to respond (thank you, John and Justin). Highly recommend and we will certainly book again.

Hectic building work being carried out behind this cottage. We asked to be relocated and we were sent immediately to a much better location.

Rock Break

Puffins really worked well for us as it was a nice, clean cottage with plenty of room for 5 of us, (3 teens) and a dog. We spent most of the day on the beach, but it was a haven to return to for tea on the terrace. Fantastic Cornwall hols!
