Description

Polzeath 3.6 miles.

Tucked away in the centre of Trelights, just over three miles from Polzeath's famed surfing beach and the Doc Martin film set in Port Isaac, is this fabulous holiday home, Elmwood.

This contemporary base, which has four tastefully appointed bedrooms, welcomes families keen to explore Cornwall's magnificent coast and countryside.

After a day of wandering the South West Coastal Path, retire to the living room and relax next to the woodburning stove, flicking on the Smart TV for an evening of entertainment.

The enclosed garden patio is accessible through bi-folding doors, providing a pleasant spot to take in the sounds of the countryside while sipping a cool beverage.

The kitchen features a fresh palette of white and grey tones, as well as a good selection of appliances, so you can whip up a home-cooked meal with fresh items from the local Trevathan Farm Shop.

To rinse your beach gear and prepare for the next day on the beach, there is a separate utility space with an outdoor hose.

Head upstairs to find the four tastefully decorated bedrooms: the master has a king-size bed and en-suite shower room, as well as a super-king-size with zip/link beds, a double, and a twin with zip/link beds.

A contemporary bathroom with a choice of bath or shower above serves the bedrooms.

Take a short walk up the hill to the Longcross Hotel, where you may sample some delectable local fare while appreciating the expansive rural and coastal vistas.

A local farm shop, which not only sells fresh goods and a café, but also has a lovely area for children to play in and animals to help the Trevathan crew feed while you take a well-deserved coffee break before returning to your holiday cottage, is also within walking distance.

Within three miles of Polzeath, which is well-known for its extensive stretches of sand, surfing, and stunning coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, and Harbor Isaac, a historic fisherman's port.

Polzeath features surf hire and instructors that can guide you from basic to advanced levels, plus there’s a whole host of quirky eateries after you build up an appetite.

Take a day trip to Port Isaac for Doc Martin enthusiasts to enjoy the catch of the day, delectable cream teas, and, of course, to see Doc Martin's house on Roscarrock Hill.

Elmwood is a delightful holiday home, whatever time of year.

The house is absolutely stunning.

There is a very small outdoor area with a small barbecue and garden furniture which we didn’t use as there was 7 of us in our party and we didn’t feel the space was big enough for us. My only criticism would be the plumbing! This was very noisy and the taps were loose in the kitchen. Easy to rectify but not what you expect in such a beautiful house. I would also recommend a simple welcome hampers which would allow late strivers to make themselves a drink after a long journey. We have stayed at many Sykes properties and this is the first property where a few simple basics weren’t provided. I do feel that at the price bracket for this property it would be provided. All very minor issues as the property is beautiful and I would highly recommend a stay here!

Having stayed in the property opposite on a previous holiday we knew the location would be perfect for exploring the places we love in Cornwall.

The cottage was good but not excellent as there are a few things that could be done to improve it. * better cleaning. Mould on shower screen seals (especially the one in the main one bathroom) lots of hairs on arrival in the bathroom which definitely were not ours * multiple chips on furniture around the house from wear and tear but things like this make it feel less premium * stained carpets (stairs quite bad) and furniture (sofas) * clear instructions to regulate the heating as we found it impossible to turn it down or off. In the information pages the page about heating/water is blank. * not enough hot water for everyone to shower on the same day / morning so we split it up (3 evening/3 morning) would’ve been handy to be able to boost the system to enable this to happen. * Crockery is cheap Ikea stuff which although clean is badly marked with wear * only one side table/lamp in one of the king bedded rooms and the room made up as a twin. * we were fortunate to have a week of sunshine, however when the children wanted to watch TV, the sun made this difficult and curtains would’ve been useful. All of the above comments are meant to be constructive feedback which could easily be sorted out. Thank you.

A well presented spacious house plenty of room for the 6 of us who stayed.

Very clean and good amenities. Great for a base for exploring Cornwall.
