Positioned within the sweet hamlet of Penmayne, Barcelona offers a peaceful location just a short stroll from the main road that meanders through Rock and down to the beach.
Barcelona is tucked away alongside lush green fields within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From here you can amble down a country lane that brings you out onto the Rock Road in just two minutes. Here you can easily pop to the shops to pick up those holiday essentials or enjoy a relaxing walk down to the beach.
Start your day with a stroll down to the nearby Lewis's Deli to pick up fresh bread for breakfast or grab some treats from the famous Malcolm Barnecutt's bakery. For a family beach day take the footpath that winds down through the fields to the hidden beach at Porthilly Cove. At low tide this leads along to Rock Beach where you can explore the golden sand dunes and splash in the calm waters of the Camel Estuary.
For those who love to get out on the water, Rock Sailing Club and Camel Ski School are within easy reach of The Pocket. You will be spoilt for choice with what to try first. Will it be wake-surfing, water-skiing, paddleboarding, sailing or even banana boating? You can also hop on the ferry to Padstow from Rock Beach and explore the harbour lined with cafes and independent shops.
Foodies will be in heaven here. The Dining Room is within walking distance and offers an intimate dining experience. Further down the Rock Road, choose from The Mariners in partnership with Paul Ainsworth, Four Boys Café and Upper Deck. For the best fish and chips in the local area, walk to Rock Fish and Chips just minutes away.
