Pendaveli

Pendaveli is a 3-bedroom cottage in Polzeath sleeping 7, with 3 bathrooms - a higher bathroom-to-bedroom ratio than most properties at this price level. The cottage has an open fire, a garden, off-road parking, Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Dogs are not accepted.

Polzeath village and its surf beach are about 800 metres from the front door. The beach faces west into Atlantic swell and is consistently used by surfers and bodyboarders from spring through autumn. Greenaway Beach is 0.7 miles along the coast path for calmer water. Daymer Bay, the sheltered estuary beach at the mouth of the Camel, is 0.9 miles.

Rock is a short drive south, with the passenger ferry across to Padstow running during the summer season. The Camel Trail cycle path connects Padstow to Bodmin via Wadebridge and is accessible from this side of the estuary.

Changeover is Thursday, which makes it easier to plan around busy summer weekends.

Ideal for families or a group of friends wanting surf-town access with a comfortable base close to the beach. The open fire makes it workable outside peak summer, extending the season into spring and autumn. Less good for those who need a flat site or are sensitive to noise - Polzeath Hill has a gradient and the village is lively during school holidays.
