About this property

Windyhill is a well-positioned, four-bedroom bungalow, located on the top row of the very well-known Higher Tristram in Polzeath, Cornwall. This self-catering holiday home enjoys an elevated position overlooking the bay at Polzeath, on the North Cornwall coast, and out towards Pentire Head. Benefitting from a spacious and private garden, and parking space for three cars, Windyhill is ideally suited to a large family or group of friends, looking to explore the local area, Daymer Bay, the Camel estuary, and beyond. With breath-taking beach and sea views, that can be enjoyed whether you are cooking up a storm in the kitchen, tucking into a home-cooked meal with the family in the dining room or sinking into a chair in the lounge area with a book, the home is perfectly-located for a seascape. The usual facilities are here including a lovely open fire, ideal for lighting on a winters evening, to snuggle up after a bracing day exploring the wonderful coastal paths. Indulge in some alfresco dining of a summers evening in the private garden, found at the rear of the property, with plenty of space for the children to run about and play. A study area on the entrance to the lounge is a great space if you need get a few jobs done or even settle the children down with some drawing or art and crafts activities. There are four bedrooms to choose from at Windyhill, with one king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom sharing a spacious shower room, and another two twin bedrooms that share a family bathroom. A good choice of eating out options surround Windyhill, with pubs, cafes, and restaurants all within walking distance. The village has a range of shops for food, drink and essential groceries, surfing equipment, beach supplies and even an art gallery. Pick up all you need to enjoy a beach picnic or a proper Cornish cream tea to enjoy on your sunny patio. Polzeath has everything you need for a lovely seaside holiday, with its amazing surf and fascinating rock pools that run along both sides of the bay, along with fantastic clifftop walks and other coves and inlets to discover. For a change of scenery, guests could hop in the car and drive the 7 miles along to Port Isaac's working fishing harbour, now well-known for its Doc Martin fame. Along the way, stop in at the unspoilt little coves of Port Quin and Port Gaverne for a spot of wild swimming, followed by some chips and a quick pint at the Port Gaverne pub. Enjoy all of this at Windyhill.

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.
