Driftwood

Driftwood is a second-floor apartment directly opposite Polzeath Beach, next to the surf shops and a beachfront cafe in Polzeath. It sleeps four across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a lift or stairs from the communal entrance reaches the front door. Up to two dogs are welcome.

Bi-fold doors open from the open-plan living space onto a glass-fronted balcony that looks out to sea. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and a dining table, and the lounge has a Smart TV, a Bluetooth speaker and board games. Both bedrooms are super-king-size with their own Smart TVs, and the beds can be made up as twins on request. The main bedroom has an en-suite with a rainfall shower, and the family bathroom has a second walk-in shower.

A private roof terrace on the third floor has an outdoor kitchen and bar with cushioned seating, plus a WC and a lockable surf store with room to dry wetsuits. Parking for two cars is at ground level. Saunas by the Sea, a wild spa, is less than 100 metres away. The coast path reaches Baby Bay in a mile, and Pentire Point and The Rumps lie about 2 miles along the headland.

**Best for:** surfers, couples and families of four who want to walk onto the sand from the front door. **Less good for:** guests who want a garden at ground level. Anyone needing step-free access should check with the owner before booking, as the roof terrace is on the third floor.
