Tidewood

Tidewood is a three-bedroom cottage in Polzeath village on the north Cornwall coast, sleeping 6 with everything on the ground floor. There are steps from the kitchen to the patio. Polzeath Beach is about a 3-minute walk away.

The cottage has three bedrooms (a double, a single and a triple bunk), one bathroom, and an enclosed patio with furniture. The kitchen includes a dishwasher. Off-road parking for one car is included and Wi-Fi is provided throughout. Two well-behaved pets are welcome.

Polzeath village is immediately on the doorstep - the Oyster Catcher bar, a deli, a Co-op, and several surf schools are all within easy walking distance, and the shop and pub are a 5-minute walk. The surf at Polzeath Beach is reliably beginner-friendly, with lifeguards from Easter through September. Greenaway Beach offers a quieter alternative 0.8 miles along the coast, while Daymer Bay is 1.1 miles south across the estuary - calmer water and popular for paddleboarding. Rock is about 2 miles south, and from there the water taxi runs to Padstow during the season. The coast path from the village to Pentire Point is a 2-mile return walk with wide estuary views. Changeover is Friday.

Best for families or mixed groups wanting a ground-floor cottage within walking distance of surf, sand, and village facilities. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Less suited to guests wanting seclusion - Polzeath is busy through school holidays.
