“Fantastic property in New Polzeath with incredible, stunning views.”

A pick of the bunch for our family of four + dog out of many we have stayed in over the years - would certainly return. We even tried to extend this stay by one night, but got told by Sykes not possible. (It was a shame that the dishwasher was faulty for majority of stay, even though replaced with a new one on our last day.)

“Delightful cosy cottage and excellent location with everything one could think of.”

Space, comfort of beds, hot showers and delightful sea views from the dining area and lots of bright light on all levels of the cottage. Would happily return.

Verity June 2023

“Very well appointed and appreciated the recarpeting and redecoration since the previous owner.”

Location is ace. Please could the owners do something about the ventilation in the bathroom? The windows do not open and the extractor fan didn’t seem to make much difference leading to a damp smelling bathroom for most of the week. A second key would be helpful so that the house can be locked if some of the occupants are asleep but someone else wants to go out? You can’t lock the door as it’s not possible to unlock from inside without a key so it’s not safe to lock it (but also doesn’t feel that safe leaving the door unlocked whilst people are asleep!)

- Verity, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these issues. Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays, we will take regarding the poor ventilation issue in the bathroom, each property should have a spare key inside as well as in the key safe outside so will look at this urgently. We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues and would love to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

“Will definitely visit again.”

Good property, good location. Parking was less of issue than first thought. Shops and restaurants all within walking distance, two beaches to choose from and nice walk to pentire point if your able.

- Ed, June 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such wonderful feedback with us. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Lookout and appreciated the gorgeous location with lots of shops, restaurants and beaches. We look forward to welcoming you back hopefully soon.

“Wif-Fi and vacuum cleaner didn't work.”

Most of the windows wouldn't open and the fridge had to be set very low to avoid ice build up and food freezing. Great location and lovely view from kitchen and living room. No dedicated parking so best to avoid during peak season.

- Gary, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I am sorry you had these difficulties whilst in the property. The owner has since replaced the fridge freezer to avoid this in the future. I am sorry the vacuum cleaner didn’t work, the handheld Dyson often needs it’s filter to be cleaned regularly, particularly due to the new carpets but there is another a Henry hoover downstairs in case as a spare. In terms of the wifi – the guests in at the weekend had no issues so we are sorry you struggled with it. A lot of the window mechanisms and locks have been replaced recently so may be taking some time to become workable. In terms of parking there is a reasonable car park 5 minutes, walk away which can be used as well should you struggle to walk. Thank you once again for taking the time to share this feedback it is extremely helpful, and we are glad that you enjoyed the view and the position of the property. We look forward to welcoming you back to Polzeath in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner
Lindsey February 2023

“Property was very comfortable and very well furnished and in the ideal location for beach and walks.”

The only small niggle being that we weren’t able to open windows most being sealed shut. Overall we had a fabulous stay and would definitely rent again.

- Lindsey, February 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave you feedback. Its great to hear you had a lovely stay here. I have spoken to the maintenance team they have assured me the windows are not sealed shut but locked. We hope to invite you back to North Cornwall again soon. John Bray on behalf of the owner.

The property

This lovely home, The Lookout, is located in a prime spot in the seaside community of New Polzeath, Cornwall. Six guests will be comfortable at The Lookout, which offers breath-taking sea views from the large side window on the top floor and from the dining area, stylish decor throughout and is a stone's throw from the beach, for a coastal holiday in Cornwall. The accommodation is arranged across three mezzanine floors, reached by three easy short flights of steps. Drop your bags in the welcoming entrance area on the ground floor, where you'll find a convenient washer as well as a family bathroom, all of which are ideal to refresh after a day at the beach. On the first floor are the three relaxing bedrooms - a master king-size with its own little en-suite shower room, a cosy double room, and a twin (zip/link on request), giving everyone personal space to unwind. The well-stocked kitchen with all the tools you'll need to cook up a feast with your locally sourced Cornish produce, as well as a pleasant dining area with large picture window where your family may gather and enjoy your meals together, planning your adventures for the next day. Up just a few steps from here is the mezzanine-style lounge, where you may relax with your loved ones by the wood burning stove and Smart TV while curled up on the soft corner sofa. This is the perfect area for any time of day, whether you're up first thing in the morning to see the natural light streaming in and checking the surf out through the window, or to retire to after a day in the waves, watching the mesmerising sunsets and perhaps bringing out the board games and revealing your competitive streak, enjoying time as a family. You can almost roll out your door and into the sea from The Lookout, take the few metres stroll out and you are on the Cornish coastline for your morning stroll or jog along the path. Be sure to stop at Pentire Point and The Rumps for impressive views of the sea from the towering clifftops; perhaps stopping for coffee and a huge hunk of cake at Pentyr Cafe on the loop around. Surfers will appreciate being able to grab their board and hop down the steps in their wetsuits straight into the waves, then head up to grab a snack at the Beach Box cafe further up on the sand. There are a few shops to keep up the retail therapy, including the famous Ann's Cottage surf shop or you might choose to lunch at the restaurants/cafes that line the edge of the beach. Head down the coastal path to reach Daymer Bay for gentle waves that little ones will enjoy paddling in and climb Brea Hill there for panoramic views across the estuary and over the water to Padstow. For golfers, St. Enodoc Golf Club in Rock provides solice in a round overlooking the water, while adventure-seekers will be delighted with the watersports on offer at the sailing school and Camel Ski School. For a gentler pace, take the foot ferry over to Padstow for a spot of lunch; you'll be spoilt for choice in foodie's paradise or for more rural culture, head inland to visit the impressive Pencarrow House and Garden, which features formal gardens, a plant shop, and a café where you can treat your loved ones or National Trust's Lanhydrock house and gardens. Experience Cornwall from the magnificent base of The Lookout for all of this and more. PLEASE NOTE: the bed configuration will be made up as per the description. If you require the bed(s) to be configured differently, please inform us at least 7 days prior to your arrival date.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
