Landers Field

Landers Field is a six-bedroom house just off Rock Road on the Camel Estuary, sleeping 12 across five bathrooms. The property has large windows, contemporary interiors, and a garden with a terrace for outdoor dining - a level of space that most group properties of similar size in this area do not offer. Dogs are welcome.

The house has Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Five bathrooms across six bedrooms keeps the morning rush manageable for a full party of 12. Access to a shared swimming pool is included. Thursday changeover gives some flexibility around standard Friday and Saturday peak weeks. The property has 6 reviews on Sykes Cottages.

Daymer Bay is 2km from the house - a sheltered, family-friendly estuary beach well suited to young children. Polzeath, with its consistent Atlantic surf and an established surf school, is 3.5km north along the coast. The seasonal Rock to Padstow passenger ferry runs from a slipway within a short walk, connecting to Padstow's restaurants and harbour without needing the car. Greenaway Beach, a quieter mix of shingle and sand with less footfall, is 2.6km away.

Best for large family groups or two or three couples sharing who want surf beaches and calmer estuary swimming within the same week. Less good for anyone who needs on-site parking - none is listed with this property.
