A holiday in Daymer Bay is all about seaside adventures and making memories with the family. Nestled between Rock and Polzeath, this sheltered bay offers a safe sloping beach with soft golden sands, perfect for swimming, paddling, or simply soaking up the sun. The renowned St Enodoc Golf Club is a dream for golfers, while low tide reveals a sandy link between Daymer Bay and Rock Beach. In Rock, you’ll find a sailing and water sports centre with everything from paddleboarding and wakeboarding to thrilling sea safaris. Browse the town’s independent shops, then enjoy a leisurely lunch overlooking the water. From here, you can even hop on the foot ferry to Padstow, a charming harbour town famed for its shops, eateries, and Rick Stein’s famous seafood restaurants. For surf-loving families, Polzeath Beach is just over a mile stroll along the coastal path. With lifeguard cover in summer, this sandy beach is great for bodyboarding and family beach days.

Step inside this welcoming coastal retreat and you’ll find a bright, well-appointed kitchen with style throughout. The wooden floors flow seamlessly into the light-filled living area, where chic pendant lights hang over the breakfast bar and plush seating awaits – a lovely spot to sip your morning coffee before setting off to explore hidden coves and dramatic clifftops. Throw open the doors from the living area to the garden and bask in the last of the day’s sunshine. When it’s time to rest, head upstairs where two inviting bedrooms await. The master bedroom features a super-king-size bed dressed in calming tones, while the second bedroom has a queen-size bed. A family bathroom sits between the two, complete with a bathtub for soothing soaks after salty sea air and long coastal walks.

Outside, lawns stretch to the front and rear, providing space for children to play or for simply unwinding in the fresh air. A picnic bench makes outdoor dining easy, and with private parking for two cars – a rare treat this close to the beach – you can come and go with ease.

Be aware that the second bedroom upstairs is very tight. It was fine with bunk beds for kids, but now has a double bed. Four adults would find it cramped.
