Famous for its surf and situated on Cornwall's rugged northern coast, Polzeath is a great place to find self-catering accommodation. You can spend days on sandy beaches soaking up the sunshine, pit your skills against world-class surfers, or hike for miles along the Cornish Coast Path. With Polzeath holiday cottages, you can mix great seafood and welcoming pubs with natural beauty, making it one of the South West's premier beach destinations.
Polzeath itself is a small village which fronts onto a wide sandy beach where impressive waves roll in from the Atlantic but you can also unroll a matt and enjoy the area's warm climate. The town has a literary heritage, having been a favourite of poets like John Betjeman, and it has also been the stage for BBC period dramas like Poldark - so fans can trace the show as they wander local streets. Nearby attractions include Tintagel castle which is associated with King Arthur, while Camel Creek Adventure Park is the ideal place for youngsters to let off steam during stays at Polzeath holiday cottages.
However, outdoors is where Polzeath really shines. Aside from the local beach, those staying in local accommodation can head to gorgeous bays like Daymer or even hike to Rock - one of the most prestigious sailing and seafood dining centres in England. There's karting at St Eval, you can cycle inland along the beautiful Camel Trail, while paths lead to beauty spots like St Enodoc's Church. When the sun shines, having access to local cottages opens up a world of memorable activities.
Polzeath holiday cottages let you mix beach fun, historical explorations, and rainy day diversions. With your own space, you'll be able to clean off after surfing and head straight to one of the village's appealing pubs. You can store walking boots, sandals, and trainers for ready access, while dogs will also have plenty of space to enjoy their stays as well. It's all possible with self-catering getaways in Polzeath accommodation.
