Drifters is a well-maintained cottage in Rock, Cornwall, praised for its great location, delightful garden, and peaceful yet central setting. Guests appreciate the open plan, private patios, and the high standard of equipment. Some minor issues with kitchen utensils and a lack of welcome pack were noted, but overall, the property offers a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.
The location is consistently described as great, with easy access to local amenities and a central yet peaceful setting. The proximity to restaurants and the ferry to Padstow is particularly appreciated.
Guests find the house comfortable, mentioning the peaceful atmosphere and the fully equipped setting to a high standard. The presence of sunny patios and a delightful garden contribute to the comfort.
While the property is generally well-equipped, there are some criticisms regarding the quality of kitchen utensils and the absence of a coffee machine. The new fridge/freezer and dishwasher are noted improvements, but there are suggestions for better instructions and a more comprehensive guide to the house.
The absence of a welcome pack, which is unusual based on guests' experiences with other holiday lets, suggests a lack of thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and their presence or absence should not be expected.
Drifters is a contemporary, detached holiday home with splendid views overlooking the tidal waters of the Camel Estuary and the countryside beyond in Cornwall. Located just a stroll from Rock beach, its fine waterfront restaurants, and shops, as well as the many fantastic facilities and activities on offer on the North Cornwall coast, Drifters features ample parking, and a homely interior, possible to serve up to eight guests. With the main living areas set on the first floor, nothing can detract from the spectacular sea views. The sunny glass balcony is perfect for planning your day's adventures or enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee and the papers. After an exhilarating day, relax in the pretty rear garden and enjoy supper on the private terrace, or kick back in the generous, open-plan living area, which includes a well-equipped kitchen and dining space, and plush living room with a woodburning stove and a separate TV room. Three of the airy bedrooms are located on the ground floor including two en-suite double rooms, and a twin room, along with a family bathroom; the remaining twin bedroom is set on the first floor. Experience the best of Cornwall right from your doorstep; Drifters is conveniently located up the hill from the watersport hub at Rock, including the Rock Sailing Club, Water-ski Club and The Camel Ski School where you can practice sailing, paddle boarding, waterskiing, and kayaking on the sheltered waters of the Camel Estuary. Catch the foot ferry over to Padstow for Rick Stein's fish and chips on the harbour or take a leisurely cycle on the Camel Trail to the nearest picturesque town of Wadebridge. Walkers will adore the mile long stretch of beach that wraps around the coastline to Daymer Bay, a stunning sandy bathing beach ideal for younger children, whilst adrenalin junkies will want to head to nearby Polzeath, a blue flag beach and the surf capital of North Cornwall. All of this awaits with a stay at Drifters.
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.

There is everything one needs for a comfortable stay and the two sunny patios are delightful. We enjoyed a very happy week.

Centrally located but very peaceful with a fabulous view. The house is fully equipped to a high standard. We were attending my niece's wedding on Porthilly farm so 'Drifters' couldn't have been more convenient.
