Gwel Trelsa

Gwel Trelsa is a four-storey beach house 150 metres from Polzeath Beach, sleeping 10 across five super-king bedrooms - all with en-suite facilities and all convertible to twins. Two bedrooms have sea-view balcony access. With seven bathrooms across the property, there is no morning queue. A sky hammock and rooftop terrace add to the outdoor experience.

The social spaces make this house work for groups. A private bar and outdoor kitchen sit at the lower level, and a wood burner anchors the main living room. The arrangement suits ten friends or two families wanting shared space alongside private rooms.

Polzeath village is a 2-minute walk. Surf schools operate from the beach during summer months, and the South West Coast Path runs directly to Pentire Headland and The Rumps within a couple of miles. Greenaway Beach is 0.7 miles. Daymer Bay, popular for its calmer water, is 0.9 miles. Rock and its restaurants are 2 miles across the estuary.

This property is ideal for groups of surfers or active families wanting immediate beach access without a car. It is not great for anyone seeking a quiet rural retreat - the 150m beach proximity means footfall near the property is high in summer. Two dogs welcome. Parking is included.

All five bedrooms are super-king zip-and-link and can be reconfigured as twins on request - a useful flexibility for mixed groups. The property has a dishwasher, washing machine, and wood burner. Wadebridge is around 8 miles for supermarkets and practical provisioning before settling in for a week.
