Offering unrivalled ocean views and enviably easy access to the coast, this fabulous seaside property is one of an exclusive collection of apartments within a contemporary boutique hotel. Polzeath Beach and Baby Bay are within 100 metres; swim, surf, stroll on golden sands then discover Polzeath’s enticing choice of restaurants and bars at leisure. The South West Coast Path passes your doorstep, putting more beautiful beaches and the iconic Pentire headland within reach. For adventures further afield, ride the ferry across the Camel Estuary from Rock (4.5 miles) to foodie-favourite Padstow, home to a working harbour and the quayside National Lobster Hatchery where children can learn more about marine conservation. If you’d prefer something more adrenaline-fuelled, try your hand at coasteering or sea kayaking with Cornish Rock Tors, based at Port Gaverne (7 miles).
The boutique-hotel vibe and coastal-themed colour palette create a calming ambience at this beautiful apartment. Take the lift from the lobby to the second floor and follow the corridor to the front door. Once inside, turn right from your entrance hallway into the open-plan social space. The contemporary kitchen in one corner is close to the modern dining area which sits before folding doors onto the balcony. There’s similar balcony access from the lounge area, where there’s a choice of soft seating and a Smart TV that vies for attention with the far-reaching Atlantic vista. Head back into the hallway and a contemporary family bathroom is conveniently positioned for rinsing off salt and sand after a day on the beach. Close-by, two bedrooms offer flexible, family-friendly sleeping – one features a super-king-size zip-and-link bed which can be made up as twins on request, and the other features a single bunk above a double bed – perfect for your youngest party members. The upper floor’s master suite is an inviting sanctuary, with a super-king-size bed, a Smart TV and an en-suite shower room, plus doors onto a private sun deck.
Open those bi-fold doors from the lounge and dining areas to follow the sun and savour al fresco food and drinks on glass-fronted balconies. On the upper floor, the sun deck is delightfully sheltered and features bar-style furniture to seat five.
