Endymion

Endymion is a three-bedroom lodge for six in New Polzeath, a quieter clifftop village a short walk above Polzeath's surf beach. Sea views run through floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and three bathrooms mean each bedroom effectively has its own washing facilities.

One bedroom has a fixed king-size bed. The other two are twins whose beds push together, one converting to a continental king-size and the other to a standard double, by request. A heated outdoor shower and secure surf storage support days on the water, and Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher, garden and BBQ are all included. Up to two dogs are accepted, though there is no washing machine.

Polzeath Beach is 500 metres away via the footpath down from the village, Greenaway Beach is 1.0 mile and Daymer Bay is 1.3 miles from the lodge. The coast path also runs north around Pentire Point to the Rumps, an Iron Age cliff castle about 2 miles away where seals and seabirds are regularly seen.

Endymion holds a 4.2 out of 5 rating from seven reviews, with comfort scoring 5. Host Charlie manages the booking.

**Best for:** surfers or a family wanting flexible bedroom arrangements, three bathrooms and board storage a short walk from Polzeath.

**Less good for:** guests who need laundry facilities, a pool, step-free access or a beach directly outside the door.
