Hideaway

Hideaway is an elevated three-bedroom apartment for six in Polzeath, a surf village on the north Cornwall coast. One bedroom has a super-king bed, and two further zip-and-link twins can each be made up as a super-king or king-size room on request. The apartment is reached by a communal lift or two flights of stairs. The living space has a corner sofa, a warm-wood dining table and sliding doors to a balcony, and there is a utility room and surf storage. Two bathrooms serve the group.

A private roof garden extends the living space, with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue for meals outside. Indoors, light-filled rooms and a wood burner cover different seasons. WiFi, parking and a dishwasher are included, and up to two dogs can stay, though the elevated position means stairs rather than step-free access.

Polzeath Beach is 500 metres away, a half-mile surf beach with left and right-hand breaks and several surf schools. Greenaway Beach, a quiet cove reached on foot, is 0.7 miles away, and Daymer Bay, a sheltered estuary beach, is 0.9 miles from the apartment. The village's surf shop, deli and cafes are all within walking distance, and Rock, reachable along the coast road, sits about 2 miles south.

**Best for:** Six guests wanting flexible beds, a private roof garden, outdoor cooking and Polzeath Beach within 500 metres.

**Less good for:** Guests needing step-free access.
