Artemis is a well-loved and beautifully located cottage in Rock, Cornwall, with a warm atmosphere and a range of amenities. Guests appreciate the en-suite bedrooms, spacious living areas, and secure garden. While some guests have had issues with cleanliness and maintenance, others have found the property to be clean and well-equipped, enjoying local attractions and the convenience of nearby dining options.
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests noting issues such as cobwebs, dirty floors, and unclean kitchenware, suggesting a need for a deep clean. However, some guests have reported the property as lovely and clean, indicating inconsistency in standards.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, pubs, and restaurants, with easy access to Rock, Polzeath, and Port Isaac. The nearby Pityme Inn and Bluntrock Brewery are also appreciated by guests.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with spacious living areas and en-suite bedrooms. However, some guests mentioned a lack of hanging space in two bedrooms and issues with a shower door and blind, slightly affecting the comfort level.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a games area, piano, and board games available. Some guests encountered issues with kitchenware and a BBQ in disrepair, but replacements were provided when issues were raised.
While guests have mentioned a Christmas tree and a foil tray for cooking, there is no consistent mention of welcome gifts or additional thoughtful touches across the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available information.
Please note: There are internal building works taking place at the property directly behind Artemis.
Artemis, named after one of the Greek goddess’s, is a stunning, contemporary holiday home resting in the popular village of Rock, on the beautiful north Cornwall coast. Finished to exacting standards, this self-catering property can comfortably cater up to eight guests, looking to explore the coast and countryside, offering a great base to discover the best of North Cornwall as a large group or family. From the moment you enter, experience the bright and welcoming interiors which flow throughout, combining pastel colours to remind you that the seaside is only a stone’s throw away. The ground floor is the main social hub of the house, offering a well-equipped kitchen and a living/dining room that extends out onto the garden patio, perfect for that ultimate alfresco dining experience. Along with the living/dining room, there is a choice of a two further living areas to retreat to; the middle living area is a great space to relax with a good book, and the end room is a dedicated TV room to catch up on the latest TV series. There is a separate utility area with access into the garden and garage, kitted out with table tennis for hours of fun. Climb up the sleek glass staircase to the first-floor hallway, linking each bedroom. The master en-suite is an elegant room offering plenty of space and a luxury bathroom; a further king-size and two twin bedrooms, each with en-suites, complete the sleeping accommodation, providing flexibility. Located at the top of Rock Road, yet only a short walk to the village centre with the many shops, restaurants and the famous sheltered waters of the Camel Estuary, Artemis rests in a convenient location. Enjoy a meal at The Mariners Public House, recently re-opened by Paul Ainsworth and Sharp’s Brewery, or catch the ferry over to Padstow to explore the harbour. For surfing enthusiasts looking for that perfect wave, take a short drive to famous Pozleath beach, a blue-flag beach on the North Cornwall coast, suitable for all levels depending on the surf. For more watersports or casual swimming, pop over to Daymer Bay, a beautiful, sheltered cove, perfect for all the family to enjoy a paddle, or to watch the kite-surfers from your beach pitch. If you have a love for characterful cottages, narrow streets, local delicacies and of course, the BBC TV series Doc Martin, Port Isaac is only a car journey away, offering something for everyone. All of this awaits at Artemis.
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.

They are useless. You also should offer a welcome pack, after a 6 hour drive it would be nice to have some milk. The house is beautiful and spacious but the kitchen was dirty when we arrived, beds were not made up as requested, no card to celebrate the fact it was my mums 60th and has just recovered from breast cancer. Shower door is missing, blind was broken. Garden was a mess. Not worth the money and I will be following this up. I have already made a complaint and surprise, surprise no one has got back to me.

Local pub was very good and a couple of pop ups for coffee in the locality.
Mandy
This contemporary home was stunning along with the modern interior, tastefully decorated and felt very homely. The location of the property was perfect for us, great beaches along with excellent pubs and restaurants, we had an amazing Sunday Roast at Paul Ainsworth - The Mariners at Rock overlooking the estuary to Padstow. We would totally recommend this holiday home to others.
