“‘This house is all about location, and a “vintage feel”.”
It’s not the most luxurious, not “posh” - but it does feel like a proper home. And I liked that. So did my family. The kids adored it! I will definitely come back, despite the two biggest negatives - the awful parking situation, and the lack of supplied bedding. The good things: Location, views, (fabulous), feels like a real home! Cosy. Nice! The proximity to beach, and pub - perfect! The garden, big. Kids loved it! The overall layout. A really lovely house for a holiday. Got some nice traditional features. Family friendly. Well equipped. Loved the kitchen especially. Loved the games for the kids, the bats and balls, the “fun” and “homely” feel. Fabulous living spaces. Super main lounge. But also the cute tv room. Great utility room. Huge. All beds very comfortable. Gray mattresses. Perfectly clean beds. Extra blankets everywhere. Good idea! Side lights in bedrooms - good! All carpeted rooms - upstairs and down - very clean and nice. Showers/bathrooms upstairs practical, and clean. The main bathroom had the most stunning views. The two double bedrooms had stunning views’. Not so good things: Parking a nuisance (I am using crutches at the moment). The arrangement is no use for anyone with a disability. Tristram car park is beautiful.. but you have to walk a short way up a very steep hill. Fine is you are fit and well, of course! Offloading and loading all my stuff took quite a long time - even using the little parking space for the Tubestsation cafe (which is next to the front garden). The fact I had to rent bedding etc - and make up all the beds myself. A complete PAIN! And an extra £200 (with towels). Why is this? Some of the house needs tlc - redecorating. Especially the downstairs shower room. The utility room was a bit “lived in” too! But I didn’t mind that. More waste bins are needed - in all the bathrooms and in the bedrooms too. There was only one upstairs, and one in the downstairs loo/shower room. Nicer lighting in the lounge needed. It was very dreary! Half the light bulbs were missing too. Why not have a couple of standard lamps in there? Please leave out the recycling bags? There were none for me to use, so I had to use my own bin liners. Just as well I brought lots! Please leave out instructions for the central heating adjustments? Please have some wood left out, in the lounge, ready for the wood burning stove? Outside patio furniture needs some tic! Better quality duvets would have been nice? I was quite cold at night. (When the heating went off.. and I didn’t know how to put it back on again).’

About the location
POLZEATH
Wadebridge 7.5 miles; Padstow 16 miles.
The seaside village of Polzeath boasts a sandy beach, which is bordered by rock pools and is acclaimed to be one of the best surfing beaches in the country. Polzeath itself has a number of small shops, cafes and restaurants, and the South West Coast Path, a 630-mile route, runs through the village. Just over seven miles away is the popular market town of Wadebridge, which is set alongside the River Camel and offers an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as North Cornwall's only family-owned cinema. There’s wonderful countryside in the area, with the renowned Camel Trail passing through the town, and the nearby town of Padstow, with its harbour, pastel-washed medieval houses and celebrated restaurants is well worth exploring. Within driving distance is the UK surfing capital of Newquay, with over 11 miles of golden sandy beaches. Polzeath is an excellent base for exploring this part of Cornwall.
