    “Our third stay at Windyhill.”

    It’s not the smartest of holiday cottages but it is homely, comfortable, well equipped and, best of all, has a terrific view and safe back garden for the children to play in. I’ve made the points about cleanliness in previous feedback. This time we found an old vape under one of the beds in the children’s room which was not ideal.

    It’s not the smartest of holiday cottages but it is homely, comfortable, well equipped and, best of all, has a terrific view and safe back garden for the children to play in. I’ve made the points about cleanliness in previous feedback. This time we found an old vape under one of the beds in the children’s room which was not ideal. And this was not John Bray’s fault, but the building work to the house below Windyhill was intrusive and interfered with the view. On the day that cement was delivered to the site, our car was blocked in the drive for a period. You warned us about the building, but didn’t offer any compensation. Finally, a plea: now that the Covid restrictions are over, could you please allow more leeway on the day of departure. Getting a big group up and out of the house, and leaving the house clean and tidy by 9am is hard work and stressful.

The property

Windyhill is a well-loved 4 bedroom family holiday home located on the top row of the very well known Higher Tristram in Polzeath.

This self catering holiday home enjoys an elevated position overlooking the bay at Polzeath on the North Cornwall coast and out towards Pentire Head.

It has the benefit of a spacious and private garden area and useful parking for 3 cars.

Ideally suited to a large family or group of friends, Windyhill has a double bedroom along with three twin bedrooms.

Polzeath is a perfect base for your holiday with Daymer Bay and the Camel estuary close by. 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 usual facilities are here including wifi, central heating for those colder months and the option of a cosy open fire 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.

For a change of scene, guests could hop in the car and drive the 7 miles along to Port Isaac's pretty working fishing harbour, now quite well known for its Doc Martin fame.

About the location

POLZEATH

Wadebridge 7.5 miles; Padstow 16 miles.

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.
