The Nineteenth

A four-bedroom cottage 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. The kitchen has an electric cooker and hob, a built-in double oven, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, and the dining table seats eight. The utility room has a washing machine and tumble dryer, and the garage has table tennis. Check-in is after 4pm and check-out is before 10am. Dogs are welcome at the cottage.

Polzeath Beach is 1.2 miles - the main surf beach on the Camel Estuary mouth, with a surf school and seasonal lifeguard cover. Daymer Bay is 1.3 miles, 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.
