This was a wonderful property!
Very clean, comfortable, quiet and private with beautiful views! Every morning we were treated to amazing sunrises. I stayed with my 3 older kids. There would have been plenty of room for a few more.

Thank you Amanda for such a wonderful review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Rocksalt and hope we can welcome you back again soon.
Clean, well furnished, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms so great for extended family. Lovely quiet location with views over the Camel Valley. Close to Rock and Wadebridge but a car is necessary as the roads are not great for walking or cycling. Well equipped and spacious kitchen, which was great for sharing the cooking, BBQ for the dry days! Comfy beds, lots of sofas, exactly what we were looking for.

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Rocksalt and hope we can welcome you back again soon.
We had plenty of space for our family of seven and thoroughly enjoyed the view from this well thought out retreat with comfortable seating for all. The children enjoyed the yard toys left for them and the adults enjoyed having a well stocked kitchen to enjoy some meals in. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming. Great location for visiting Polzeath beach and Tintagel Castle. Don’t forget to sample the Cornwall Pastis!

Thank you Laura - I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay at RockSalt. It was lovely to meet you and your family and I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.
We (2 families with small children) enjoyed our stay at RockSalt. It was spacious, clean and very well equipped. The kids loved running around in the garden and the adjacent field. The owner was very helpful with many questions that we had before we came. There are so many attractions in the area that we will have to come back! Beaches are about 5-10 min drive depending on where you go.

A very well equipped house, with country views
This is a lovely house, with country views at the back, and large doors to make the most of the countryside views. Ros' villa is very well equipped with large comfortable sofas for relaxing in the evenings. The house is very convenient for all local attractions, with some beautiful walks on the nearby glorious beaches, and Padstow is only 20 minutes away.

About the host
Hosted by Ros Garmston
My husband, Simon, and I were lucky enough to fulfil our dream and buy RockSalt in 2008. We both grew up in the west country and co-incidentally spent many holidays as children in and around Rock and Polzeath and wanted our children to grow up with the same happy memories. Hannah and Tom now have the same love of Cornwall as we have and although they have outgrown the bucket and spade days on the beach, they now love surfing, wake-boarding, walking and the fabulous food on offer from pasties in the Rock bakery to Rick Stein's fish and chips in Padstow.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with RockSalt as it is situated right in the middle of our favourite part of Cornwall and is modern and very light and airy and has fantastic countryside views towards Wadebridge.
What makes this property unique
RockSalt enjoys a quiet countryside setting yet is only a short drive from Rock, Polzeath and Daymer Bay. Our home is furnished and equipped to a very high standard - towels are provided and beds are made-up for your arrival so that you can begin your holiday as soon as you arrive. A completely enclosed garden with BBQ is ideal to sit in during summer evenings and for children to play in. We also have use of a meadow in front of the house where children can play ball games and you can relax and watch them from the lounge or garden. In addition, there is an outdoor shower where you can wash off after a fun-filled day at the beach. RockSalt is our home and we look forward to sharing it with you.
