4-Star Family Home in Rock: private garden, walk to beach & pet friendly

Seamist is a secluded bungalow, an ideal family home. It is situated down a private road within walking distance of the beach, shops and golf – so you can forget about the car for the duration of your stay. Beautiful enclosed garden - private and secure for children of all ages- solid teak garden furniture and big gas BBQ make al-fresco dining a pleasure. Ranked 4 Star by English Tourist Board, Seamist is furnished and equipped to very high standard throughout with all linen provided for your stay. Oil fired central heating, free high-speed WiFi and an open wood-burning fire gives Seamist a really comfortable feel and makes it wonderfully relaxing for holidays at any time of the year. Rock is excellent for sailing, surfing, golf, walking and lots more.


About the Owner: I have visited Rock on holiday since I was a small child and now I am thrilled to be able to take my children there too. My family loves Cornwall for its beautiful beaches, clean air and fantastic outdoor pursuits. We also enjoy the amazing selection of food, from fish and chips in Padstow to Michelin star dinners at Nathan Outlaw only a walk away. Rock is quite simply unbeatable. Seamist is our family home in Rock. I offer a quality of service to our guests that our home deserves. We take a lot of time to make your holiday special and welcome your feedback.

My family loves Cornwall and Rock in particular. The white sandy beaches, the surfing, sailing and ice creams are a huge hit with my children. The grown-ups love the walks, golf and amazing restaurants. We bought Seamist to allow us all to enjoy a classic seaside holiday and as somewhere where we will want to come back year after year.

Unique benefits of the property : Tucked away down a private drive but a 4 minute walk from the shops in the centre of Rock, Seamist is ideally situated. Access to the beaches and St Enodoc Golf Course is easy too, by foot or car. A completely private and enclosed garden is ideal to sit in during summer evenings and for children to play in. Our home is furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Towels are provided, beds are made-up for your arrival, there is lots of hanging space and tea, coffee and milk are waiting for you when you arrive to welcome you. The open-fire is lovely on colder evenings; on warmer ones there is a big gas BBQ and teak garden furniture for you to use. Surfboards and bucket and spades are left for you to use. Seamist is our home and we welcome you to use it and its facilities.

Coast/Beach and Golf: Seamist is walking distance to the beach. There are many stunning beaches in Rock and the surrounding area. Rock beach, Golf Club beach and Daymer Bay can all be reached by foot;Padstow is a 10 minute ferry ride from Rock beach. There is excellent sailing and waterskiing with good facilities at the Waterski club and Rock Sailing school. Polzeath beach is a 5 minute drive and offers amazing surfing for all ages. There are some great surfing schools. The beaches in the area are stunning.

Wonderful comfy home, great location.
We loved renting Seamist, the location was wonderful, we could walk across the golf course to the beach. The house was really clean and comfortable. Sarah was a fantastic host and gave me all sorts of local info before our stay. I’d highly recommend Seamist.

Wonderful holiday accommodation, highly recommended.
Excellent property, well equipped, very comfortable and clean. In a good quiet location for a few good quality local shops, several good restaurants and the foot ferry to lovely Padstow and its facilities. Very nice helpful owner with good contact by phone and text. The property surpassed all expectations, just what we wanted. Thankyou, Sarah!

Idyllic week in Rock
We could not have asked for a better location - a short stroll across the golf course to any of the beaches (or to the nearby hotel for cocktails on the terrace). House was pristine and comfortable and Sarah did everything to ensure we had what we needed. The only problem was - the house was so good our teenagers never wanted to go out!

Lovely quiet location
A very nice property on the outskirts of Rock and within an easy distance to walk to the harbour area where the restaurants are. Within a 5 min walk a range of shops, fresh fish monger/bakers /deli/co op so very easy. 20 mins walk across the golf course to the beach and easy walk to the town area for a nice coffee. Overall a lovely property to stay in, kitchen well equipped and I would highly recommend

Lovely week by the sea
Our family of five plus our dog enjoyed a relaxing and fun week at Seamist. It is an excellent base from which to explore the area, and is an easy walk to shops in the village and a 20 minute walk to a remarkably beautiful and quiet beach. Home is safe, quiet and comfortable with a lovely garden. Highly recommended!

Lovely holiday house
Seamist is in the perfect location at Rock, really quiet cul-de-sac, easy walk to Daymer Beach through the golf course and equally easy walk to Rock seafront! Very private sunny garden, all amenities you need and very comfortable. Sara his excellent host and very helpful!

Lovely half term break
We had a great break in Rock - particularly given this was our first holiday of 2020 due to Covid! Seamist is really well located in easy walking distance of the seafront in Rock and we'd recommend walking down through the golf course which is just next door to the property. Seamist itself is well equiped and had everything we needed. We found the owners really responsive and helpful when we had an issue with a tap that we couldn't off - all fixed the same day. Thanks for a lovey week.

Nice and quiet, close to the beaches and cliff walks
The house was excellently resourced with everything we needed for our 5 day stay. The rooms were quite spacious and the kitchen, beds and bathrooms excellent. We enjoyed the wood fire as it was quite cold while we were there. The major complaint was that the heat in the radiators turned off in the night so it got quite cold in the house in late November. We did call the local person who said she would get that corrected (the controls were behind a locked door so we could not adjust the time heat was on - just the level of heat) but it didn't seem to make any difference as the heat went off during a portion of the night for the duration of our stay. Also the TV worked for one evening but I couldn't get it to work after that. After the experience with the heat we didn't think it worth asking for help with the TV. So overall the house was just great but if you stay in the winter make sure you have the heat assured throughout the night and that the TV is working.

Fabulous property in great location
Just had a fab week - could have done with 2 weeks! Property very comfortable and clean. Good-sized garden. Within walking distance of shops - amazing clothes shops for such a small place! Lovely walks around area. Bit of a steep climb to waterfront but kept us fit! Plenty to do in area - particularly enjoyed paddle-boarding at local ski school and body-boarding at nearby Polzeath. Easy reach of Padstow via ferry. Would highly recommend.

The house in Rock was far superior than described. Everything you could want. Spotlessly clean.
When we arrivived w e were greeted by a warm spotlessly clean property with beautiful luxury bedding and towels. All the furniture was of a very good standard. we have stayed in a few properties where everything was tired and worn. The house is set in a beautiful quiet area and a short picturesque walk takes you to Rock Beach ideal for children. Lots of good restaurants and Rock itself all within walking Distance.Sarah could not have been more helpful and was only a phone call away. I would definitely recommend this property and the area to any of my friends and family. Lovely house well stocked with everything you need. Lovely private garden which is not overlooked what more could you ask for.
