    "We have stayed here many times and returned this year after a break of 4 years."

    Well equipped in many ways except there is still no washing basket to use from the washing machine to the garden line.

    Many thanks for your positive feedback. We will ensure we provide a washing basket for next year, so that when you come back it will be available for you. Denis and Hilary Property Owner

    "Beds un comfortable double sheet on king size bed mattress very worn bitty every where looking tired stayed 2 weeks didn’t."

    Get clean or bed change after 1st week could not use heating as had code on it so was cold some evenings but then it would come on in middle of night steps to front door a hazard no hand rail

    We are sorry that you had a number of issues whilst staying at Curlew. The mattresses were all replaced a couple of years ago with high quality replacements. If the sheets are looking a bit tired we will replace them over the winter. As we made you aware, we were unable to organise a mid-stay clean / laundry change as you only requested this, after working hours, on the mid Thursday. The heating is available all year 24/7 and can be turned up to 22.5 deg C but, as per the house instructions, it is provided by an Air Source Heat Pump and it does take time to react. We will look at providing a hand rail outside the front door this winter, even though the steps are very gentle. Denis and Hilary Property Owner

The property

Curlew is a homely, well-equipped holiday bungalow set in the corner of a quiet, secluded residential area of Rock, Cornwall.

Within walking distance of Rock village shops and close to the public footpath leading to serene Porthilly cove on the north Cornwall coast, thus self-catering property sleeps six guests, making it a perfect base for a family holiday by the Cornish coast.

The landscaped and well-planted garden has two patio areas, perfect for relaxing in and soaking up the sunshine while your children play on the level lawn - ideal for garden games, or the family dog.

Store damp wetsuits, beach kit such as surf boards or kayaks in the adjacent garage.

The living accommodation is practical and well-equipped, while bedrooms offer king-size, twin, and zip/link twins that can be joined to make a king-size bed.

The fashionable resort of Rock is a deservedly popular holiday destination, with its setting on the banks of the Camel Estuary, it is a haven for sailors, water skiers and kayakers and has a beautiful aspect, looking over the water to the attractive fishing harbour of Padstow and out to sea past the Doom Bar and Stepper Point.

Keen hikers can go for long, scenic walks from Curlew either via Porthilly or across St Enodoc Golf Course towards Brea Hill.

Budding surfers will love the proximity to Polzeath, a surfer's idea of heaven with its often-gentle beach break, ideal for all abilities.

With the amenities and attractions of Port Isaac, Camelford and Nequay all within reach, there’s plenty to see and do from Curlew.

Book your next family break with a stay at Curlew.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

Where you’ll be staying

ROCK

Padstow 1.5 miles via ferry; Polzeath 2.8 miles; Wadebridge 6.2 miles.

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.
