About this property
PLEASE NOTE: Atlantis is designed to sleep a maximum of 8 adults and 2 children.
Atlantis is a stylishly, detached holiday home, set in an elevated position with wonderful views over Polzeath beach, Hayle Bay, and the surrounding Cornish countryside. Surfers and swimmers will greatly appreciate the ability to gauge the sea conditions from the comfort of Atlantis, before making the short walk to the beach and nearby amenities. Outside, the house features front and rear gardens, and a first-floor terrace, enjoying far-reaching views out to sea, a haven for alfresco dining and relaxing. To the side of the home is an outside shower, a perfect addition to wash away those sandy feet, and decking under a porch with storage for surfboards and outdoor equipment. Indoors, a contemporary open-plan living space resides, where guests can prepare and enjoy meals together, or simply unwind with a good film on the TV, before watching the sun set from either the conservatory or viewing room. With four bedrooms to select from, there’s plenty of space to accommodate all, with a super-king-size, king-size, twin and bunk rooms to choose from, all serviced by a sleek shower room and two bathrooms. With the shoreline nearby, beach days can be enjoyed as a family, from sandcastle building to surfing, ending the evening with a tipple at Surfside Polzeath or a meal at The Waterfront Grill. For hikers and explorers, nearby areas of interest include Pentire Point Nature Reserve, with its rugged, clifftop vantage points, ideal for wildlife spotting, and The Rumps, possible to reach from the coastal path. For further attractions, travel over to Padstow with its National Lobster Hatchery, bustling harbour with waterfront eateries, and Sealife Safari boat trips all to be discovered, before returning to Atlantis for sundowners. Book your next coastal break to Atlantis.
Rock is a desirable and much sought after coastal village located on the north eastern bank of the River Camel opposite the famous harbour town of Padstow which is easily reached by a regular ferry service. The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling. Continuing on a sporting theme, the golf course at nearby St Enodoc is considered to be one of the best in the country. With an abundance of world class beaches all within a short radius it is easy to see why Rock holds its popularity.

Excellent location and well appointed house. Couple of minor points, arrived to find broken fridge shelf on dining room table and valve for bathroom mixer tap was loose and fell out. Informed owner and he replied immediately saying maintenance would sort. Also oven has no writing around dials, so unable to tell temp or other settings. These were minor issues and did not detract from our week. We would be happy to stay again in the future. Thanks

The John Bray team said they would replace the bed so I trust this was done. They came as we arrived to fix a loo which must have broken the previous week. The toaster only toaster on one side so we had to speak with the Manchester team who couldnât deal with me as I was not my husband who made the booking! A good property and helpful JB local team but let down by the Sykes team and getting hold of them.

Firstly the property owner was very helpful and felt very approachable. The property was just perfect and exactly what we wanted. It was close to the beach, close to shops and restaurants. The kids loved their stay and the secure garden was great for the kids and dog. The property was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend and would definitely be returning in the future.
