Polzeath 1.1 miles. Tucked away on the outskirts of Trebetherick near Polzeath in Cornwall, is this delightful, detached bungalow, Croft Elms. Enjoying a prime position along the scenic Cornish coast and exceptional views look out over the golf course to Brea Hill and the Camel Estuary, Croft Elms makes for a wonderful dwelling for couples or a family of four looking for their next Cornish escape. Park-up on the private driveway with space for three cars, before making your way into your new home-from-home. Look forward to whipping up flavourful meals in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine, ready to savour at the dining table for four. If the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on the private patio, followed by drinks on the sun deck overlooking the enclosed lawn? When the evening cools, retire to the conservatory where you can still soak up the fantastic views looking out towards Daymer Bay beach. In the hallway, you will find two cupboards, one housing a tumble dryer, the other with small extra fridge, iron and ironing board. Add a log to the wood burning stove and curl up on the plush seating as you watch your favourite film on the TV with Chromecast or listen to some tunes on the Sonos speaker. Wash away the day with a refreshing shower or soothing soak in the bath, before choosing from one of two well-presented bedrooms to catch your rest in, a king-size and a twin with zip/link and Freeview TV.
Explore your local surroundings, where you will find the superb Daymer Bay Beach just a walk away across the fields and golf course, with its golden sands ideal for bathing on and clear waters for swimming or trying your hand at windsurfing. For a wider selection of amenities, head into Polzeath just a short drive away, where you will find the popular Oyster Catcher pub offering a tasty menu and local ales, and the contemporary Atlantic Hotel bar & kitchen which overlooks the water. If you can’t get enough of the beautiful beaches, be sure to test out the waves at Polzeath beach, with surf school and equipment shop readily available nearby. Travel the opposite way to Rock where you can continue taking to the waters at the Rock Sailing & Waterski Club, or if that isn’t your thing, head to the renowned St Enodoc Golf Club to enjoy a game overlooking the Camel estuary. Hop aboard the Black Tor foot ferry and set sail over to Padstow, where you can visit the National Lobster Hatchery and adopt your own hatchling, cycle along the scenic Camel Trail, or enjoy a touch of the grandeur with a visit to the stunning 16th-century Prideaux Place. Walkers needn’t feel left out, with the famous South West Coast Path right on your doorstep offering some of the best views and scenery in the region. Gather the ones who mean most and escape to Croft Elms.
Polzeath, a small fishing village on the Cornish coast, is known as one of the best surfing spots in the country thanks to its wide, sandy beach bordered by rock pools. Small shops, cafes and restaurants can be found in Polzeath as well as a 630-mile stretch of the South West Coast Path. North Cornwall's only family-owned cinema can be found just over seven miles away in the market town of Wadebridge, which sits along the River Camel with a wide variety of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The Camel Trail passes through the town, and the nearby town of Padstow, with its harbour, pastel-washed mediaeval houses, and celebrated restaurants, is well worth a visit. Newquay, the UK's surfing capital, is just a short drive away and features over 11 miles of golden sand beaches. If you want to see more of this part of Cornwall, Polzeath is a great place to start.

It's a fabulous location for our family, walkable to all our favourite places. I just love that I can see the sea whilst cooking in the kitchen and be able to walk to the beach for my daily dip! Absolutely loved the renovations you've made, with access to the kitchen via the lounge. It's a home from home for us and we look forward to being back in our happy place again very soon.
