Penmorcom

Beach days require little travel from Penmorcom, a three-bedroom house for six in Polzeath, the surf village whose wide sandy beach faces northwest into the Atlantic. Polzeath Beach is 500 metres away, and a deck spans the full width of the house at the front.

The bedrooms comprise a king-size zip-and-link that can become twins, a second king-size room and one twin. The one bathroom is a wet room. Outdoor showers and a rear utility area provide space for returning from the sand. An open-plan living area has a wood burner. The lounge area has a Smart TV with sound bar and SkyTV. Wi-Fi, parking, a barbecue and EV charging are included, and up to two dogs are accepted. The deck accommodates meals. The house has two parking spaces, one reached by a short lane from the seafront and the other at the rear.

Greenaway Beach is 0.7 miles away, with Daymer Bay Beach 1 mile along the coast path towards Pentire Point. The Polzeath guide covers the village's surf schools, cafes and the Co-op for everyday shopping. **Best for:** families or friends prioritising Polzeath Beach, flexible beds and outdoor rinsing space.

**Less good for:** six guests wanting more than one bathroom.
