The Hawthorns

The Hawthorns is a five-bedroom cottage at Roserrow near Polzeath, sleeping ten guests across three bathrooms. All five bedrooms are on the ground floor: a king-size with its own en-suite bathroom, a double, two twin rooms and a bunk room, with a family bathroom and a family shower room alongside. The kitchen and living room are on the first floor, which is the entry level, up 13 external steps to the front door.

A wood burner and open fire both feature in the living space. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, washing machine, BBQ and EV charging point cover the practical needs of a big group, and the cottage has its own garden. Dogs are not accepted. Guests who need step-free access should check with the provider first.

Polzeath Beach, a half-mile surf beach with breaks for all abilities, is 1.2 miles away. Daymer Bay, a sheltered estuary beach ideal for families, and Greenaway Beach, a quiet cove reached on foot from nearby car parks, are both 1.4 miles from the cottage. Roserrow sits close enough to Polzeath for a beach day followed by dinner in the village, with on-site parking useful for carrying kit for a group of ten.

**Best for:** large groups wanting five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a garden, laundry facilities and EV charging near Polzeath.

**Less good for:** dog owners or guests needing step-free access.
