On The Rocks Cornwall – Near Looe / Polperro. Amazing Contemporary Beach House with Hot Tub, Sea Views, Every Mod Con and more !!!
On The Rocks is truly a spectacular house with fantastic sea views, 100 meters from the South West Coastal path, and only 4 hours from London. On The Rocks was 4 years in the making with no expense spared, carved from the rock face only meters from the Cornish Seafront.
Sitting in the hot tub in a storm champagne glass in hand, one delights as the sea mist from the waves gently sprays one’s face.
Sublime views of the miles and miles of rugged Cornish Coast fill the soul with wonder. Whether by day or night one is dumb struck by the shear magic of nature.
On The Rocks is spectacular both inside and out. Designed to be totally self-contained in both summer and winter with every facility possible.
If you are lucky … you may see the a dolphin frolicking in the waves !!!!
Filled to the brink with pure luxury, a fully equiped kitchen, full entertainment facilities, Video Library – Sky – Sky Sports, fabulous art, Spa facilities including masseurs – beauty therapist – and a steam shower, Private Chef.
Completed only 12 years ago using old beach boulders and local stone, On The Rocks appears 100’s of years old yet is a modern contemporary Beach House with underfloor heating, and warm as toast in the winter. Even though over 2,500 guests have stayed at On The Rocks in the last 12 years, we pride ourselves in making it look like it was built yesterday, with everything being the finest of the fine!!
On The Rocks is slightly off the beaten track, yet close enough to restaurants pubs and supermarkets.

We had such a lovely time in your beautiful place. It seemed like you had thought of everything, anyone could need for a perfect stay.
We enjoyed the great location and the kids enjoyed the cove for swimming. Hope to return in the near furure as we really loved our stay.
On The Rocks is thebest place we have ever stayed, such a wonderful location and it's great that you allow dogs to stay too.
We found the underfloor heating a bit difficult to control particularly in the 2nd bedroom, but eventually managed.
The hot tub was just amazing. Overall like I said the best place we've stayed.
We had a fab time and everything was lovely. The only thing to note is the bin lid did not shut propertly (bin has now been replaced) The house is fantastic and the location.
We had an amazing time, thank you. The cake, flowers, and wine were all beautiful touches. We will certainly recommend your georgous place to others. Thank You.
We had a lovely stay thank you. The house is a real gem.
It was a long wait but worth it. Everything was great and we didn't have any issues or things we wished were there that weren't in the house. We will definitely be back at some point and will be recommending the house to colleagues.
