Furnished to a high standard and positioned away from the seaside bustle, this superb retreat in Polzeath provides an idyllic spot from which to enjoy the sand and surf. Within a half-mile radius, you'll be able to discover a beach, shops, restaurants and a surf school, as well as having access to the 630 miles of much-loved South West Coast Path. You can also explore the dunes and seas of Rock Beach, followed by dinner with a breathtaking view. For the ultimate foodie experience, drive 16 miles to the working harbour town of Padstow, where guests will revel in freshly caught seafood dishes headed up by celebrity chefs. Families will find plenty to keep kids entertained too, with Camel Creek Adventure Park and Cornish Birds of Prey within 18 miles.

Find luxury and fresh interiors in abundance as you enter this striking coastal hideaway. Step inside to discover a staircase leading to your main living area. Whip up gourmet delights in the vaulted kitchen and dining space, where whitewashed walls and sleek cabinetry set the stage for modern coastal living. Just beyond, the open-plan living space showcases sweeping seaside vistas, and plush, inviting sofas beckon you to lounge in front of a glowing wood burner. After catching up on the day's activities, four restful bedrooms offer gentle hues and flexibility for friends and family to unwind. Two king-size bedrooms boast en-suite shower rooms, while the two twin bedrooms boast ample storage for beach paraphernalia. Unwind in the freestanding tub in the family bathroom for a relaxing evening or a refreshing morning.

We had a wonderful week at the retreat over Easter, also to coincide with my birthday, we couldnt have picked a better place! We were a family ranging from 14-84 and everything in between and everyones needs were well catered for. The views are simply stunning I would say one of the best spots in polzeath for proximity to amenities but also fantastRead moreic scenery. The house is beautiful and incredibly well equipped. The ping pong table was a huge hit esp with my mum and step dad 79&84! The garden is gorgeous and we were blessed with beautiful weather. Our lovely spaniel nelly was in her element too. Lovely touches such as quality bed linen and towels. It was a real treat Hide

We had a fantastic week at The Retreat, the house is beautifully furnished and it was the perfect place to celebrate a big birthday! The house has everything you need and we so enjoyed looking at the sea views. Having a Hot tub and being able to enjoy a cosy fire in the evening was a bonus!
