Point Break is a well-regarded cottage in Polzeath, Cornwall, praised for its cleanliness, stunning location with sea views, and proximity to the beach. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, suitable for family gatherings and holidays. While some minor maintenance issues and a lack of basic supplies upon arrival were noted, the responsive staff and overall comfort have led to repeat bookings and recommendations.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with several reviews noting it as 'spotless' and 'extremely clean'. However, a few minor comments about mouldy curtains and the need for a bit of TLC slightly affect the score.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful sea views and proximity to the beach, making it an ideal spot for a holiday. The convenience to local shops and restaurants further enhances its appeal.
Guests find the property comfortable, with a special mention of constant hot showers and a well-stocked house. Some guests noted issues with noise from creaky floors and stuffy downstairs bedrooms, which slightly impacts the comfort score.
The property is well-equipped for hosting families, with a fully stocked kitchen and additional amenities like an outdoor shower. However, there are comments about broken hobs, blocked shower drains, and the need for more crockery, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, while the staff is noted to be helpful, there is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
Point Break is a luxurious, seaside holiday haven that oozes stylish coastal design from every room - this is beachside living at its very best in Polzeath on the North Cornwall coast! Set in an elevated position where you can enjoy breath-taking coastal views across Polzeath Beach and the surrounding countryside, this self-catering holiday home can sleep up to ten guests over five beautiful bedrooms, and four bathrooms, making it the perfect base for families sharing, or a group of friends coming together for a Cornish holiday to remember. Built to a high specification, you can enjoy all the contemporary conveniences such as a state-of-the-art, open-plan kitchen, dining and living room on the first floor that opens out onto a choice of two balconies. On one balcony you can enjoy stunning sea views over Polzeath and out towards the Atlantic Ocean, while on the other you can relax listening to the calm tones of the Cornish countryside. The beautifully-styled interior flows from room to room, with a calm seaside palette in all five bedrooms, creating a relaxing environment for your Cornish escape. Both double bedrooms have sleek en-suite bathrooms, and the twin bedrooms are conveniently located near the family bathroom and shower room. The master suite has been designed with sea glimpses in mind, with access onto the balcony, where you can wake up of a morning, easing into the day with a coffee whilst watching the everchanging seascape. A separate lounge area can be found on the ground floor that leads out onto the courtyard - the perfect place for the children to hang out in the evening. Park up and forget about your car at Point Break, with Polzeath's beach right on your doorstep, a superb location for those who love the Cornish coast. There is truly something for everyone here from surfing and swimming to sandcastle-building, rock pooling and exploring the coastal paths of the National Trust Rumps and Pentire Point. Young children will love the more tranquil waters of nearby Daymer Bay, while the water setting of Rock provides keen sailors and water skiers an excellent opportunity to make the most of the tidal estuary. Catch the ferry across to Padstow Harbour to sample the delights of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth or simply relax by the harbour side with some locally-caught fish and chips to watch the world go by. Enjoy a tranquil stay at Point Break.
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.

Alison
Would definitely recommend and come back again. Only downside was the house could do with a bit of tlc. Hob broken on end. Mouldy net curtains, cushion covers tattered, few holes in walls that need filling , ( screws through plaster board) doors scrapped by handles. So little things that need attention. Didnât spoil our holiday but if had paid £6,000 in height of season wouldâve been disappointed. Have photos if need them .

Great sunsets. Comfortable and clean - fantastic constant hot showers and outdoor shower. Great to have extra beer fridge on ground floor. Suggest new table Mats and glasses but still good assortment. Downstairs front rooms can hear everyone moving on the first floor - very loud in the night ( squeaky and creaky floor)

I was lucky enough to have plenty of willing hands to take over the cooking. Very fraustrating for me as the hostess.. Correct information with regard to the coffee machine. On advice from your office I purchases Tassimo coffee pods,which were unusable in eye machine in the house. The house is amazing and we alll loved being there, and will certainly return
