About the cottage

About Balangan

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.

In their own words

The 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.
Dan - October 2025
The place was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. Would definitely stay again!
