About this property
Pinewood 14 is a fantastic top floor apartment in Polzeath, North Cornwall, just a 5-minute walk from the seashore. With elevated views of Polzeath beach, this snug and contemporary two-bedroom property is a paradise for surfers and beach enthusiasts – the perfect base for a seaside loving family of four or a couple.
The light kitchen and dining area is compact yet well-equipped, offering a sociable space for loved ones to indulge in hearty brunches before days spent sea swimming, building sandcastles and exploring the coast path.
Whether you’re a pro surfer or beginner, nothing quite beats spending a day in the great outdoors, followed by an evening hunkered down in the warming comfort of a humble abode, and Pinewood 14 invites you to do just that. The nautical sitting room is a lovely spot to play a game of cards or relax in front of the TV, with the window seats offering the ideal vantage point for admiring the view – make sure to look out at the sunset, it’s not to be missed!
Retire to the two bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep, ready to wake up fresh for more days spent discovering the best of North Cornwall’s natural playground.
Take a stroll around Polzeath where you will find a beach shop, seaside eateries, businesses offering watersport equipment hire and surfing lessons, and the popular Pasty Cellar bakery, all near the sandy shore. The picturesque coastline boasts idyllic trails along the South West Coast Path, and we suggest you walk to Pentire Point for stunning elevated views of The Rumps, a twin headland promontory overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
For a day out exploring further afield, the fishing village of Port Isaac is just seven miles away by car. Although small, Port Isaac offers much to see and do, and you may even recognise its famous harbour from the Fisherman’s Friends film and Doc Martin TV series.
Ideally situated just a five-minute walk to Polzeath’s popular surfing beach, in close proximity to pubs, restaurants and beautiful trails, this is a lovely base for a seaside holiday in North Cornwall.
The seaside village of Polzeath boasts a sandy beach, which is bordered by rock pools and is acclaimed to be one of the best surfing beaches in the country. Polzeath itself has a number of small shops, cafes and restaurants, and the South West Coast Path, a 630-mile route, runs through the village. Just over seven miles away is the popular market town of Wadebridge, which is set alongside the River Camel and offers an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as North Cornwall's only family-owned cinema. There’s wonderful countryside in the area, with the renowned Camel Trail passing through the town, and the nearby town of Padstow, with its harbour, pastel-washed medieval houses and celebrated restaurants is well worth exploring. Within driving distance is the UK surfing capital of Newquay, with over 11 miles of golden sandy beaches. Polzeath is an excellent base for exploring this part of Cornwall.

Comfortable and clean. Just a couple of improvement suggestions: 1) somewhere outside to rinse & hang wetsuits. 2) Wi-Fi code given by John Bray incorrect so needs to be updated.

The location is perfect and the views are fantastic. Although it is small, it is well equipped and was clean throughout. We'd happily stay here again. We didn't have any issues with parking as there was always a space available. A few minor points that would make it even better: - upgrading the TV to a smart TV - the outdoor bin storage cupboard needs fixing as it is extremely difficult to open and close - Put a '14' sign on the outside to make it clear which one it is
