House prices in Rock on the North Cornish coast are absurd. They've been around since the 1980s, when gangs of wealthy Londoners descended on the spot with their Labradors and left their teenagers off leash drinking alcopops all night.
William and Harry were 90s regulars, and things got a little tricky in 2020 when the local Liberal Democrat MP said the seaside village had been taken over by 'upper class thugs' .
I dare say that in July and August the braying of the privileged can get tiresome, but out of season it's a nice little spot, especially if you are staying at the privately owned St Enodoc Hotel, a pretty Edwardian building perched on a hill overlooking the Camel Estuary.
It has been a hotel for over 100 years old, but it is far from frozen in the past. Works by local artists are for sale on the walls; blue and white stripes give it a chic nautical feel, and the food and service are of reassuring quality.
