“It was a real pleasure to stay at Splits.”

As a family we have been visiting the area for 40 years. We have stayed at many of your properties but this was voted the best by three generations. Fantastic view and very comfortable and peaceful. If we had a concern it would be the road from the St Moritz down to the property. I’m sure it shouldn’t have tarmac and I don’t know who is responsible but even some gravel/hardcore to fill the enormous ruts and holes would make it less alarming. But we would hope to visit again.

“Splits is a fantastic holiday home with the best views over the estuary to Stepper Point, supremely comfortable beds, wonderful linen, plenty of books and a well-equipped kitchen and laundry.”

There are nooks for reading, a knockout James Bond style circular balcony, great outdoor furniture, and masses of hot water. I’ve been staying with my family in the North Cornwall area for 50 years and for us, Splits - both for its position and for its comfort - is the best house I’ve ever rented.

The property

Splits is a striking, detached property, set over five levels with reverse accommodation, to take advantage of the magnificent views across the mouth of the Camel Estuary and Atlantic beyond.

Accessed via a pretty, unmade lane, with coastal footpaths nearby leading down to Greenaway and Daymer Bay, Splits can accommodate ten guests over five bedrooms, making it ideal for an extended family getaway to Cornwall.

There is a large, sunny front lawn and ample parking, and a private balcony, perfect for enjoying family meals from, with uninterrupted views of the stunning sunsets.

The well-appointed bedrooms and five bathrooms make Splits an enchanting place to stay on the North Cornwall coast, whilst the living areas all benefit from lots of glass windows and sensational sea views.

On cooler days, there are plenty of plush sofas to curl up with a book in front of a roaring fire, whilst hours can be spent just watching the tides and ever-changing seascape outside the windows, while children and teenagers can lounge in front of the TV in the family room.

From your vantage point above the Camel Estuary, you can plan your days to include walks direct from your doorstep, or hop in the car to nearby Polzeath for an afternoon of surfing.

A drive in the opposite direction will bring you to Rock with all its sailing, boat trips and water-skiing, and for those who prefer not to get wet, the fabulous St Enodoc golf course.

The Black Tor ferry runs regularly across the estuary to Padstow, which is host to Rick Stein's famous seafood restaurant and a wide selection of waterfront shops and eateries.

The thriving market town of Wadebridge is only a 6-mile drive away, perfect for shopping and for hiring bicycles to explore the Camel Trail.

All of this can be experienced with a stay at Splits.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.

About the location

DAYMER BAY

Polzeath 1.3 miles; Rock 2.3 miles.

Daymer Bay and the village of Trebetherick were both loved by Sir John Betjeman and are unquestionably special. With a huge appeal to both the young and not so young, Daymer Bay has recently been voted one of the best beaches in the world! St. Enodoc Church, once buried in the sand, is within comfortable walking distance of Daymer Bay and is the resting place of Sir John Betjeman. Daymer Bay holds great appeal for wind surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders, with the gentle waves rolling up the estuary. There is enormous fun too for small children with buckets and spades and fishing in the rock pools. At low tide you can walk across the sand to the village of Rock to indulge in a spot of retail therapy or a bite to eat at one of the many delicious eateries, or catch the short ferry ride and explore the delights of Padstow. Up from the coast path as it runs from Daymer Bay is Highcliffe, nestling between Polzeath and Trebetherick, both of which boast a number of pubs, restaurants and village stores all offering a wide variety of fresh quality produce. The properties at Highcliffe have the advantage of being within easy reach of Daymer, Polzeath and Greenaway - Greenaway being the name given to the clifftop area, beach and small cove with rock pools overlooking the Atlantic beyond that lies between Daymer and Polzeath.

Please remember to bring your own beach towels with you, as these are not supplied.
