The Nineteenth

A four-bedroom property on the Roserrow estate near Polzeath, sleeping eight across five bathrooms. The Nineteenth overlooks the estate's lakes and has access to the shared outdoor pool - an unusual feature at this price point on the north Cornwall coast.

The bedroom configuration suits groups who want privacy: a super-king with en-suite, a king with walk-in shower and dressing area, a king zip-and-link room (convertible to twins for families), and a small double with bath and overhead shower. The lounge has a wood burner. Outside, a wraparound garden with BBQ and outdoor seating looks onto the water. No Wi-Fi is listed in the amenities. Dogs welcome.

Polzeath Beach is 1.9km - the main surf beach on the Camel Estuary mouth, with a surf school and seasonal lifeguard cover. Daymer Bay is 2.1km, calmer and sheltered, better for children and paddleboards. Rock and Padstow are a short drive along the estuary. The Camel Trail runs from Bodmin to Padstow for cycling.

Best for two families or a large group wanting pool access and multiple en-suites, with north coast surf on the doorstep. Less good for guests expecting Wi-Fi or for those who need on-site parking - neither is listed as available, so verify both before booking.
