Meneghy

Meneghy is a contemporary 3-bedroom cottage in Polzeath sleeping 6, with a sun terrace and a private garden offering countryside views. The three bedrooms - a zip-and-link twin (convertible to super-king on request), a king-size, and a double - share two bathrooms. The kitchen is fitted with a dishwasher and washing machine, and WiFi is included throughout.

Polzeath Beach is 0.7km on foot, Greenaway Beach is 0.8km, and Daymer Bay - the sheltered sandy inlet popular with families and paddleboarders - is 1.2km. The South West Coast Path runs through the village, giving direct access to the headland walks between Polzeath and Port Quin. The Camel Estuary is within cycling distance, and Padstow is reachable by ferry from Rock.

Dogs are welcome and the enclosed garden is a practical bonus for keeping them secure. The contemporary interior with open-plan living is well-suited to groups of mixed ages sharing the space.

Best for families or two couples who want a modern base close to a surf beach, with enough room and layout to share comfortably. Suits those planning to walk the coast path or explore the Camel Estuary. Not great for those wanting a remote or rural property - Polzeath is a busy surf village in summer.
