“This is our second year at Gunyah and we were once again very happy with our stay.”

The house is as listed. It is extremely well-located, with an absolutely beautiful view of the sea. The bedrooms are comfortable and it has most of what you need for a holiday in Polzeath. There were a few things in the house that are a bit broken like a shower head that is loose, a couple of lightbulbs that had blown, a door that was hard to close but we fed back to John Bray and I expect these will be dealt with. It could probably do with a bit of an interior refresh/repaint as it is ...

It could probably do with a bit of an interior refresh/repaint as it is looking quite tired now - but then that is not that unusual for a beach house in Polzeath. I've given it a 4 star rating this year (5 last) because a company came unexpectedly in the middle of our stay to cut all the hedges and spent the best part of a whole day being noisy and messy. This was annoying when we were only in the house for 6 full days.... Overall though, we'd definitely book it again.

“Such a beautiful spot in Polzeath and so close to everything you need, The House is elevated so you can watch the sun rise/set everyday along with watching the beautiful sea.”

The house in my opinion could do with none carpeted floors as you can see they are now very worn, obviously its nice in the bedrooms but not in bathrooms. The two main bedrooms are very close so id bare this in mind if sharing the house ;).. only other comment was the floorboards are really noisy so if you go to the toilet in the middle of the night you tend to wake the other bedroom up. overall it really is lovely and id be happy staying in Gunyah again and will be coming back as soon as we can :) Oh and it was such a shame that the Hot tub was out of use!

“We have been loyal customers for many years and had a lovely holiday this year .”

We have always previously been given priority booking for the same week the following year , but 2022 is already booked along with with all our other favorites , so no Cornwall next year very disappointing .

“For a family of four Gunyah was an ideal holiday spot in Polzeath.”

The view and aspect are amazing and gave me huge pleasure in our week there. We found the beds perfectly comfortable and the open living area worked well for us. The glass round table in the window had a great view, but did reverberate a bit when you put something on it. For sea/surfing beach activity, the backdoor and shower worked really well as a route in with wetsuits and it's a short walk to the beach. As it's raised up you can get the view without being too close to passing people. We will definitely want to come again - it's the best house for us for the price that we've found in Polzeath (as I kept saying to my family while we were there). The kitchen was well equipped and had everything i needed for the week. There were a few things that could be better but were similar to other properties in Polzeath - they get worn by the sea air and the beach living of the guests: the towel rails were on all the time in the bathrooms and we couldn't work out how to turn them off. Lovely to dry wet towels but not so good in the ensuite loo in a hot week. Some of the french windows were hard to open (and hard to close). A clothes line would have been a help for beach clothes and wetsuits to dry on.

“I love Polzeath and all around there.”

I've been visiting for over 50 years, with grandparents, parents, husband, children and now grandchild! Time marches on! It was much quieter in the 60's and so I've followed the changes over the years. The Galleon seems to have been there forever! We have stayed in many Bray properties. We love Gunyah. It is a lovely well designed house and so convenient and a flat walk to the beach. Look forward to hopefully being there again next year.

The property

Located in an elevated position, Gunyah commands a stunning aspect over Polzeath beach, Pentire Point and the ocean beyond. A mere 100 metres from the beach with a terraced garden and sun deck, this self-catering holiday house is a dream destination for a family or a group of friends. Gunyah sleeps 6 people in 3 fresh, well-furnished bedrooms with private parking for up to 3 cars. Throw open the doors onto the deck and let the sea air into this funky and light living space. With a surf themed modern kitchen you will be inspired to cook some local mackerel or fresh seafood; tuck into tasty meals on the deck and soak up the glorious view; or enjoy long family meals in the light, bright dining room on a cooler day. A holiday in Polzeath is the epitome of the traditional seaside holiday; a very popular resort, it hums with a surfing vibe in high summer and enjoys a fun family holiday atmosphere. Young children will love the more tranquil waters of Daymer Bay; while the waterside setting of Rock gives keen sailors and water skiers an excellent opportunity to sail and ski. Hikers can tramp the coastal path as far as they wish; allow plenty of time so you can linger over the beauty of the North Cornwall scenery.
