Stylish, luxury holiday cottage overlooking the estuary in the glamorous North Cornwall village of Rock
It takes something to stand out from the crowd in Rock, the well-heeled village on North Cornwall's rugged north coast. But 17 Slipway has that 'something' in spades, a luxurious, wonderfully appointed, mid-terrace holiday cottage spread over three floors and with glorious views over the Camel estuary. It's a stylish base for friends and family, with a terrific beach and dunes nearby, plenty of local walking routes and watersports, and a great range of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Padstow and its renowned restaurants are just a short ferry ride away, and there's on-site parking with space for two cars.
The whole of the first-floor living area is open-plan, with a contemporary wood burner, an excellent, high-spec kitchen and dining area, and a glass-fronted balcony for amazing estuary views. There's everything from Netflix on the smart TV and a separate drinks fridge to Sonos sound bar and Nespresso machine, so it's a fine space for hanging out and enjoying meals together. Three bedrooms occupy the other two floors, starting with an en-suite king on the second floor, and on the ground floor a king with en-suite shower room and a twin-bedded room, along with a family bathroom. There's also a utility and wet room with a shower, which is handy if you've come straight from the beach.
There are going to be long discussions about who gets the master en-suite bedroom, which occupies the whole of the second floor and overlooks the estuary through large Velux windows. It's a calm, grown-up space, with plenty of room, and a smart bathroom – grab it if you can. However, decor throughout the whole house is in contemporary seaside colours – lots of white, splashes of stone, yellow and blue – and there really are majestic views from almost every corner, so everyone can enjoy the privileged location.
A raised patio and gas barbecue complete the picture outside, though you're likely to be off and out come the evening, to mingle with the celebs in the nearby bars and restaurants. As self-catering cottages go, 17 Slipway really does have it all if you're looking for a shot of glamour in one of the most sought-after places in Cornwall.
