About this property
Penny Liggan is a spacious, self-catering property close to Rock Beach and the Camel Estuary, on the North Cornwall coast. An ideal holiday home for families and large groups, Penny Liggan has plenty of space for up to ten guests, with optional space for two further guests. A dog-friendly abode, it offers laid back charm with a choice of living spaces to unwind in, along with mature gardens, which borrow wonderful views of the St Enodoc Golf Course and Stepper Point beyond. The large open-plan kitchen and dining area offers a sociable space for both formal dining and relaxed lunches, flooded with natural light through the patio doors, which open onto an enclosed, sunken patio area and rockery. Retire to this great little suntrap after dinner to enjoy a perfectly sheltered sundowner. Overlooking the patio, a sitting area set under a glass ceiling is clearly the hub of the home and the ideal space to sit and read, or to chat while the kids run in and out of the garden. A separate living room with large apex windows perfectly frame the view, where you can enjoy a board game or favourite movie as night falls. Take your pick from a super-king-size, and a king-size bedroom, plus two twin bedrooms, all with shared use of two bathrooms. A fifth bedroom with en-suite shower room offers a double bed, set on a mezzanine level (please note: this bedroom has restricted head height). When you’re ready to explore, take the footpath from Penny Liggan to the beach or head to the shops in Rock village; with a butcher, baker, fishmonger, deli, grocery store and clothing shops, you can stock up or indulge in some retail therapy without having to travel too far. Take your pooch for a long walk on Rock's golden beach; walk along the banks of the estuary and soak up the incredible views, or head into the dunes towards Daymer Bay and Polzeath beyond. If you fancy a daytrip, then hop on the foot ferry to Padstow to explore its pretty harbour. If you're feeling energetic then why not try cycling the Camel Trail (a flat cycle trail suitable for all the family), waterskiing, wakeboarding, or even hire a sailing dinghy or stand-up paddle board and hit the water! For dining out there are excellent choices on offer with lots of restaurants and cafes on both sides of the water, and if you stay out late, catch the water taxi home, against a backdrop of twinkling lights for a truly memorable end to the night. Plan your next break with a stay at Penny Liggan.
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.

Brilliant space across the whole house with great proportioned rooms and facilities through the house. Kitchen is fabulous and wonderful sitting areas too. Family have rented several times and never been disappointed. Small notes The shower in the end bathroom takes a while for the water to soak away and would have been good to have guide to heating and hot water but minor issues.

Already booked our 4th trip and for longer. Could I possibly recommend a few things - more saucepans that work on the induction hub - more bowls - more sharp knives - change the set of drawers that have broken Taps we got mended temporarily. Chap said the owners needed a new set of kitchen taps

However the house felt run down and very out dated with exception of the kitchen which had been refitted. The kitchen taps would make a horrendous noise every time someone used the shower/taps from their bathrooms (we worked out they werenât screwed on tightly enough). The SKY TV didnât work, they only provided terrestrial channels as they didnât have a subscription, they just provide a sky box, which would ordinarily be fine if the TV was smart and would allow us to log in to our Netflix / Amazon accounts but it wasnât, so for future holidaymakers, bring an HDMI cable and a laptop that you can plug in to be able to watch content on demand, otherwise you will be watching either live terrestrial television or old DVDs (we recommend Enemy at the Gate from the collection). My parents had the large double bedroom, auntie in the 2nd double bedroom and my husband and I in the twin bedroom. The twin had a broken chest of drawers which was difficult to open and no wardrobe, it felt damp in there also. Something also to bear in mind was that the property looked directly onto St Enodocâs golf course, which is cool, until you realise you donât have a huge amount of privacy because they can look in on you in 3 of the bedrooms and the living room. The outdoor space was nice, we sat out on the chairs often, we didnât use the BBQ as we didnât have reason to. If you like us are keen body boarders in Cornwall, be aware there are no outdoor showers and no dedicated drying space for wetsuits. There is a laundry room but one of the cupboards is locked (standard) but the other cupboard isnât suitable for wetsuits. The roof light in the painted red downstairs toilet leaks, so if itâs raining you will get wet whilst doing your business. The kitchen is space is lovely with a large table for everyone to have space to eat at and a separate fridge freezer allowing us to store enough food for the week, however all the pans bar two are non-induction compatible so do not work on the hob, so with a party of 8 people, trying to feed everyone with 2 small pans is not ideal. We had a lovely time at Penny Liggan which had a fantastic location and would return but be more prepared next time and would hope some of the issues would have been remedied.
