The Longest Day

Holiday Rental Description

This is the sort of holiday home in which cherished memories are made. Located just ten minutes' walk from both Polzeath Beach and Daymer Bay Beach, there are plenty of ways to enjoy bursts of sunny weather in the local area, or without leaving the home at all. Out in the garden, for instance, there's an enclosed lawn complete with an alfresco table and a charcoal barbecue.

If the sun disappears behind the clouds at any point, you can take a seat in the conservatory and wait for it to reappear or — if the temperature really dips — play some board games in front of the log burner fire in the living room. Alternatively, the pastel blue kitchen and island is ready and waiting for when you want to cook up a feast.

Aside from the seaside, the South West Coast Path can be joined in twenty-five minutes' walk and Bodmin Moor sits half an hour's drive away. It's also a thirty minute walk along the beach to boating, shops and eateries in Rock and the ferry to Padstow. There's a renowned gastropub three minutes' walk down the road, and the 4-star St Moritz Hotel and Spa is around the corner should you fancy a spot of pampering.
