Sandrift

Sandrift is a four-bedroom cottage in Polzeath with sea views, sleeping eight across three bathrooms. The bedroom configuration is one super-king, one double, and two twins - practical for a mix of couples and families. Up to two dogs are welcome. The property has a garden, parking, Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine.

Polzeath beach is 500m from the door, a wide sandy bay with reliable surf and a RNLI lifeguard service through the summer months. Greenaway Beach - quieter and not accessible by car - is 700m. Daymer Bay, the sheltered estuary-mouth beach popular with paddleboarders and young families, is 1.2km south. Rock village with its restaurants and the water taxi to Padstow is 3km.

This cottage suits a group wanting sea views and surf-beach proximity with dogs included. The three bathrooms handle a group of eight without friction. 4 reviews from HolidayCottages. Not great for those who need more than 2 dogs, or who want the additional social infrastructure of a hot tub. The price is per night rather than per week, so the costs can accumulate quickly for a full week's stay - worth comparing against weekly-rate alternatives in the area.

The 4-bedroom layout splits across one super-king, one double, and two twins - a practical combination for a group of two couples and two sets of children. Wi-Fi, dishwasher, washing machine, and parking are included. Daymer Bay at 1.2km is the gentlest of the three nearby beaches and is well-suited to younger children building sandcastles away from the surf.
