Beach Haven

A three-bedroom house in Polzeath, set above the village with a games room, open fire, and space for seven guests. The property is reached via a number of steps, so it sits high enough to take in the coastal surroundings while being 600m from the sand.

Two double bedrooms and one family room (double plus single) each have a basin. Two bathrooms - one with bath and walk-in shower, one with bath only - serve the house, along with two separate WCs. The sitting room has a woodburning stove, and a separate dining room seats the full party. A utility room handles laundry.

The games room on the ground floor has table football, darts, and table tennis. Off-road parking takes three cars. Polzeath Beach, a half-mile sandy surf beach with RNLI lifeguards and several surf schools operating from Easter to October, is 600m away. Greenaway Beach, a quieter cove with rock pools rich in marine life, is 1km further south.

Polzeath village has a surf shop, deli, several cafes, and the Oyster Catcher restaurant. Rock is 2 miles south, with a water taxi running to Padstow across the Camel Estuary. Port Isaac is 6 miles north along the coast.
