About this property
Sandy Lodge Rock is a charming detached holiday home, nestled within its own peaceful gardens, just 300 yards from the delightful amenities found in the picturesque Cornish town of Rock. Sleeping 10 people and accommodating up to two dogs, this stylish abode has ample parking for three to four cars on its private gated drive, and is ideally located for exploring this beautiful coastal area.
Begin your holiday in style by immediately relaxing in the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, where you can socialise and cook together as a family. Designed with entertainment in mind, venture further in to the house where you will find a separate lounge, complete with a football table, and a wood burning stove for cosy winter nights. In the evenings, you need not go far to find your bedroom as there are two on the ground floor, a king-size bedroom and a small double room, plus a family bathroom and handy utility room. Upstairs are two further king-size bedrooms, sharing another family bathroom, whilst for those looking for peace and solitude away from the main house, the final en-suite double bedroom is across the garden in a separate annex, complete with its own private decking and Juliet balcony, a wonderful spot for sundowners!
Those who love the outdoors will not be disappointed either, as the garden is both spacious and well-designed. With a beautiful lawn and superb, furnished patio area accessed via the main living area, there are ample places to dine alfresco, relax with a good book, or simply settle down to soak up the Cornish sunshine.
Nearby Rock’s butchers, fish mongers, bakery and other amenities are within a short walk, whilst the pretty family-friendly Daymer Bay is only a short 10-minute drive or 40-minute walk away, providing the ideal spot for a day at the beach, swimming, surfing and sandcastle building. For foodies, why not catch the ferry from Rock over to Padstow, where you can try out Rick Stein’s famed restaurants and devour ice creams on the harbour side.
With so much to do on the doorstep of Sandy Lodge, this is a very special family retreat in an excellent location.
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.

Pictures and mirrors left popped against walls in bedrooms. Some areas could do with updating. To many personal items belonging to the owner. Particularly photos.

It was very comfortable with plenty of cooking equipment, lovely beds and very cosy. We have a caravan nearby in the summer so we know the area well and it was just what we needed. We took logs down for the fire but the house was so warm we didnât use it and mainly stayed in the kitchen. The garden was lovely and I expect in the summer would be a great asset and the cottage is in a good position. Altogether it was a very homely atmosphere and everyone really loved the house. Thank you.

It is our second year here but sadly my description last year as âshabby chicâ would now have to be more shabby than chic. The property was definitely cleaner than last year and didnât smell so musty when we arrived but the garden cushions were still very stained and despite lots of fresh air during our stay, the smell was definitely back in the downstairs bedrooms & lounge after a couple of days. We didnât open the room above the garage this year but last year the smell was so strong in there we decided no one would want to sleep there. We were impressed by John Bray getting maintenance out the same day we reported a broken blind in the bathroom & a locked window in a bedroom that we couldnât open. We also couldnât get an internet connection but by the time maintenance had arrived, my husband had realised a key plug was pulled out- itâs probably the cleaner because itâs the most accessible plug for the hoover to reach everywhere downstairs & we remembered that the same thing happened last year.
