Hillcroft Bungalow

Three-bedroom bungalow in Trebetherick, sleeping six across two bathrooms. Greenaway Beach is 700m away on foot and Daymer Bay just 900m - two of the north coast's quieter sandy beaches, sheltered inside the Camel Estuary mouth. Both beaches are walkable without a car, which matters when parking along this stretch of coast is limited. Dogs are welcome throughout.

Inside, the bungalow has wifi and a dishwasher. No washing machine. The layout suits families: three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms make mornings manageable with six people. The single-storey format means no stairs, useful for younger children or guests who prefer level access. The property has 29 reviews on Sykes.

Polzeath Beach is 1km further, with reliable surf and lifeguard cover from May to September. St Enodoc church - where John Betjeman is buried - sits in the dunes between the two bays. Rock village is a short walk with restaurants and the water taxi to Padstow running across the Camel Estuary on a 10-minute crossing.

Best for families and dog owners wanting easy beach access on a quieter stretch of north Cornwall, and those who appreciate low-tide estuary walking at Daymer Bay. Less suited to guests who need on-site parking - Trebetherick has limited street spaces only, and this property has none.
