Rockabye
- Sleeps 14

Stay close to Padstow with your very own tennis court, swimming pool and views of the Camel Estuary.
A showstopping restored barn, Rockabye takes its inspiration from the surrounding countryside and the vivid blues of Cornwall’s rugged north coast, creating a luxurious retreat that feels deeply connected to its setting.
Nestled along quiet country lanes, yet just a short drive from the foodie haven of Padstow, the market town of Wadebridge and some of Cornwall’s most spectacular beaches, this exceptional home offers the best of rural calm and coastal adventure.
Reimagined by Gems Interiors, every space has been thoughtfully designed to create a rich sense of place, where natural textures, elegant details and a refined palette bring the beauty of the landscape indoors.
At the heart of the home is a sprawling, light-filled open plan kitchen, dining and living space, made for gathering, celebrating and slowing down in style.
A striking dual-aspect glass-fronted fireplace leads invitingly through to the snug and garden room, creating a wonderful flow between sociable spaces and quieter corners for retreat.
Seven beautifully appointed bedrooms offer indulgent sanctuaries for family and friends, each individually styled with textural fabrics and complete with its own elegant en suite bathroom.
The spectacular primary suite is a true highlight, with glazed doors opening onto a private terrace overlooking the Camel Estuary, the perfect place for slow mornings and peaceful moments in the fresh Cornish air.
A private annexe adds another layer of luxury and flexibility, home to the seventh bedroom and an impressive games room with pool table, fully equipped bar area and 55 inch TV, ideal for relaxed evenings, celebrations and sporting fixtures shared together.
Outside, expansive gardens invite long summer days and magical evenings beneath starry skies, with a firepit for gathering after dark, a heated outdoor pool for effortless indulgence and a private tennis court for a little friendly competition.
As part of our Eco-Conscious Collection, Rockabye has been created with sustainability in mind, featuring energy-efficient appliances, considered building materials, thoughtful water and energy-saving measures, native planting and hedgehog-friendly spaces.
Grand, elegant and wonderfully restorative, Rockabye is a truly remarkable Cornish escape where luxury, nature and memorable time together come beautifully into balance.

Step Inside
Step inside this beautifully restored barn and discover a home where original character, bold colour, bespoke furnishings and artisan craftsmanship come together in extraordinary style, all thoughtfully curated by Gems Interiors.
The high-ceilinged hallway makes an immediate impression, with oak herringbone floors, botanical artwork and sculptural Tom Raffield lighting setting a tone of quiet drama and refined Cornish luxury.
A gracefully curved oak staircase, crafted by Cornish artisans, leads to the upper floor, adding a striking architectural focal point and celebrating the craftsmanship woven throughout the house.
In the main living space, large windows frame sweeping garden and estuary views, filling the room with light and drawing the beauty of the countryside into the heart of the home.
Forest green sofas, patterned armchairs and a dual-aspect fireplace create a rich and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for slow mornings, celebratory evenings and relaxed time together.
The snug offers a more intimate retreat, with velvet sofas and Sonos speakers creating the perfect setting for cosy evenings, quiet conversations or a favourite film after a day exploring the coast.
From here, the garden room flows beautifully onward, complete with French antique-style furniture and panoramic glass that makes it a wonderful place for morning coffee, sunset views or simply a peaceful pause.
The deep green Torben Schmid kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, with a generous island, Everhot range and bespoke joinery creating a superb space for cooking, gathering and entertaining.
Beyond, the dining room has been designed for unforgettable meals, where a reclaimed-beam light installation by Gems Interiors hangs above a 14-seat table, setting the scene for long lunches, special celebrations and evenings of effortless hospitality.
Vast glass doors open onto the terrace, where an XL Big Green Egg and generous outdoor dining area invite alfresco feasts in the fresh Cornish air.
Seven individually styled bedrooms, including one in the private annexe, offer exceptional comfort, character and indulgence, each enriched with extraordinary furnishings and bathrooms featuring artisanal details.
Leisure spaces bring even more to enjoy, from the games room and private pool to the tennis court, apple orchard and multiple outdoor seating areas, including a firepit made for gathering beneath starry skies.
Pairing coastal charm with countryside tranquillity, this remarkable home is made for unforgettable gatherings, relaxed celebrations and luxurious stays in one of Cornwall’s most beautiful settings.
On Your Doorstep
Set within rolling countryside just outside Wadebridge, Rockabye offers the rare pleasure of peaceful rural seclusion with North Cornwall’s spectacular coastline, charming towns and celebrated food scene all within easy reach.
Spend slow mornings surrounded by countryside calm, then set out for the day to discover golden beaches, harbour towns, coast paths and family-friendly adventures across this much-loved corner of Cornwall.
In Padstow, classic seaside moments await, from crabbing along the harbour wall and ice cream by the water to a visit to the National Lobster Hatchery or an exhilarating boat trip across the estuary in search of seals, dolphins and seabirds.
Beach days are plentiful, with the Seven Bays including Harlyn, Treyarnon and Constantine offering wide golden sands, rolling surf, rock pools and surf schools for those keen to embrace the waves.
Food lovers will be spoilt for choice, with Padstow home to Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, Prawn on the Lawn and Paul Ainsworth at No.6, while Rojano’s in the Square offers relaxed Italian-inspired dining for all the family.
Across the estuary in Rock, The Mariners brings elevated pub classics to the waterside, while the fifteenth-century St Kew Inn is perfect for long summer lunches in a beautiful garden setting.
Walkers can follow the South West Coast Path along some of Cornwall’s most dramatic stretches, from Padstow to Trevone or Polzeath to Port Isaac, where wild headlands, hidden coves and endless sea views make every mile feel memorable.
Closer to home, Wadebridge offers independent shops, cosy cafes and access to the scenic Camel Trail, a traffic-free route ideal for walking or cycling beside the estuary from Bodmin to Padstow.
The local calendar is rich with atmosphere too, from the colour and music of Padstow May Day in spring to the food, music and family fun of Rock Oyster Festival in summer, with Boardmasters near Newquay bringing world-class surf and live music to the north coast.
Whether your days are shaped by beach adventures, coastal walks, unforgettable meals or simply returning to the peace and luxury of Rockabye, this exceptional home places the very best of North Cornwall beautifully within reach.
