Westward 14

Westward 14 is a first-floor apartment in Polzeath, with the shop and beach 0.3 miles away and a pub 0.1 miles away. Two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, sleep four, and the shower room has a shower, basin and WC.

The open-plan living space brings together a kitchen, dining table and sitting area with a Smart TV and Bluetooth speakers. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, a microwave, a fridge with an ice box, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a coffee maker. There is WiFi, along with electric central heating, fuel, power, bed linen and towels. A highchair and travel cot are available.

Outside, a grassed communal area has an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand after the beach. Parking is off-road, for one car. The village has cafes, restaurants and pubs, among them Surfside Polzeath, The Oystercatcher and Flo's Kitchen, and coastal walks run towards Pentire Point, The Rumps and Doyden Castle.

The apartment does not take short breaks at peak times, including Easter, summer and Christmas. Pets are not accepted and smoking is not allowed. It suits two couples or a small family who want a surf-beach base on foot; it is less good for dog owners, and for households with two cars.
