About this property
Please note there is a house being built in the cul-de-sac behind Old Kea Cottage - this is in a corner plot which is adjacent to the rear garden of the cottage.
Old Kea Cottage is a self- catering holiday cottage retaining many original features. Accessed via a quiet lane on the very edge of Rock village, Old Kea is an ideal hideaway for a small family of four looking for a peaceful retreat. The cottage has a classic slate roof and pretty sash windows and the large family conservatory opens out onto the sunny and mature garden. There are three bedrooms, one double and two singles with a useful shower room downstairs and a bathroom upstairs. The kitchen with dining area has everything you need to prepare family meals. The wide sandy beaches are a very short drive down the road from the cottage and are perfect for families. On a low tide it’s possible to stroll down the beach alongside the sand dunes and around the front of Brea hill right onto Daymer Bay. The passenger foot ferry from Rock is an ideal mode of transport for a quick visit to the harbour of Padstow and you could even pop into the famous Lobster Hatchery. In the knowledge that you are returning to this beautifully property it’s a must for the most memorable list.
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.

Kitchen needs a bit of an update washing machine broke down and they couldnât repair it. We had to wash some of the utensils and crockery when we got there as they had dried in food on them which wasnât very nice. All in all it was still a lovely peaceful place to stay and we would have stayed there again if it had been listed for next year, would definitely recommend it

Loads of room for our one year old to play both inside and out. Lovely chip shop and local shop at the top of the road. Lovely place to stay. Only thing we could fault slightly was the cleanliness and lack of attention to detail in some areas, and as others have mentioned the tv was a little small. Otherwise, a good cottage for a family holiday.
