Cranbrook

Cranbrook is a two-bedroom dog-friendly house in Rock, on the Camel Estuary opposite Padstow, sleeping 4 with a single bathroom. The property pairs a family-friendly layout with outdoor space suited to groups who want a base on North Cornwall's estuary coast.

Inside, the two bedrooms handle a small family or two couples. Wifi runs throughout the property. Dogs are welcome, which matters on this stretch of coastline where the coast path and Camel Trail are both dog-friendly.

Outside, the enclosed garden includes a BBQ for summer evenings, and on-site parking is available. Daymer Bay Beach is 1.8 km away - a sheltered sandy estuary beach, popular for family swimming when the tide comes in. Greenaway Beach sits 2.5 km along the coast, and Polzeath Beach 3.4 km further - a wide west-facing surfing bay.

Rock sits on the east bank of the Camel Estuary, with a regular passenger ferry across to Padstow - a 5-minute crossing that saves a long drive inland via Wadebridge. St Enodoc Church, where John Betjeman is buried, sits on the dunes above the estuary. The Camel Trail follows the former railway line into Wadebridge 6 miles away and onward into Padstow. Bodmin Moor lies inland for walks and wild landscapes.
