Located on a peaceful private road in Rock, Balangan is a stunning property which offers guests luxury touches throughout. In a desirable location, while this property is tucked away in its own peaceful patch, it’s just a 10-minute walk from the local beaches of Porthilly Cove and Rock. If you want natural beauty, gourmet food and watersport galore, all wrapped in a laid-back, luxurious coastal setting, Rock certainly delivers. It’s a destination that combines Cornish charm with a hint of Riviera glamour, and this stylish three-bedroom property is just the place for an unforgettable stay.
Situated down a gated gravel drive, Balangan is well set up for a family holiday by the sea. The interiors are finished in a soft, neutral palette inspired by the coastal landscape — think natural textures and layered whites, plus an abundance of natural light flooding the space.
Downstairs boasts a flowing open-plan layout. There’s an elegant lounge featuring plenty of plush seating to kick back and relax, pus a cosy TV corner perfect for nights in with your favourite show. The fully-fitted kitchen is not only spacious but equipped with everything you could need, from the integrated oven and induction hob, to the Sage Nespresso coffee machine with milk frother. There’s also a raised Woodwarm woodburner to add cosiness and atmosphere on chillier nights.
The large dining table positioned next to the large patio doors comfortably seats up to eight guests – open up the doors out onto the terrace, to seamlessly blend indoor comfort with outdoor charm. Flooding the room with natural light, invite fresh air and garden views in, making alfresco dining and relaxed summer evenings effortless.
Upstairs, you’ll find three well-appointed bedrooms, all neutrally styled to create a sense of understated elegance and tranquillity. The master bedroom features a lavish superking, built-in wardrobes, an ensuite shower room and cosy spot with two sumptuous arm chairs. The two further bedrooms are equipped with zip ‘n’ link beds, which can be set up as twins or kings. They share the contemporary family bathroom which features a bath with shower over.
Guests will never tire of the outdoor space at Balangan. Step into a beautifully landscaped garden designed for total relaxation. Enclosed by dense hedging for privacy, at its heart lies a luxurious cedar sauna alongside a bubbling hot tub – complete with speakers and lights – for soaking under the stars and unwinding after a day at the beach. An invigorating heated outdoor shower allows guests to rinse off after exploring the Cornish coast, while stylish garden furniture and sun loungers offer the ideal setting for lazy afternoons – why not fire up the BBQ for some casual dining? Surrounded by a manicured lawn and thoughtfully curated planting, this outdoor sanctuary is a haven of comfort and calm. At the front of the property you’ll find plenty of private parking, plus an EV charger.
Rock is a fabulous holiday destination for family and friends, it strikes a rare balance as a tranquil and refined choice that’s just minutes from lively Padstow (via ferry) and a short drive from Wadebridge. You’ll be spoilt with fabulous eateries, coastal walks and a stunning sandy beach that’s perfect for swimming, paddleboarding and sailing. Whether you’re seeking adventure or simply want to relax and soak up the scenery, Rock offers an effortlessly stylish escape by the sea.

Want the full lowdown on Rock? Our concierge knows it inside out.
Rock offers a brilliant blend of natural beauty, outdoor activities and stylish dining, making it a stand-out destination for families and friends alike.
Set beside the serene Camel Estuary, Rock is a playground for watersports enthusiasts. Calm waters make it ideal for stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, waterskiing, and wakeboarding, with local operators like Camel Ski School and Rock Watersports offering expert tuition and equipment hire. The sheltered bay is also a lovely spot for wild swimming and beachcombing, while Rock Beach, with its golden sands and dog-friendly access, is perfect for families.
For those who enjoy walking or cycling, the nearby Camel Trail runs along the old railway line from Wadebridge to Padstow, offering scenic estuary views. Alternatively, stroll the coastal path to Daymer Bay and Polzeath for more sea views and charming beach stops. Rock is also home to the revered St Enodoc Golf Club, a world-class links course nestled between dunes, with views of the sea and estuary.
Food lovers are spoilt for choice. The Mariners, by Paul Ainsworth, overlooks the water and delivers elevated pub classics with an emphasis on local produce. For fine dining, The Dining Room offers a refined intimate menu. Fee’s Food is a beloved deli offering fresh local ingredients and ready-made meals (and they deliver to holiday cottages), while Four Boys is a stylish café by the ferry slipway, ideal for lunch with a view. For something more exotic, head to The Tiny Thai in nearby Wadebridge.
A short ferry ride across the estuary brings you to Padstow, famed for its harbour charm and restaurants, expanding your options even further. Whether you’re exploring by kayak, relaxing in a beachside café or teeing off on a clifftop green, Rock offers an unforgettable Cornish escape.

Message the teamThe decor is stylish, the kitchen well stocked with all you need, and the layout works well for families. Upstairs, the bedrooms are spacious and cosy, and the bathrooms add a luxurious feel. The hot tub, gardens and sauna are all well maintained and a great addition to the house. We did a lot of exploring on our trip, and coming back to the house each day was certainly something to look forward to.
The place was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. Would definitely stay again!
This is the second time we have used Cornish Secrets (St Ives last year) and we will definitely be booking again with you in the future - keep up the great work!
