About this house rental

EXTRA SEASONAL DISCOUNTS FOR COUPLES (LOW SEASON ONLY)
Cowrie is a comfortable and well equipped single level family beach house situated next to a quieter Baby Bay beach in New Polzeath. It has lovely sea and coastal views, large gardens extending to Baby Bay, modern kitchen and bathrooms, excellent and flexible space for socialising. It is particularly suitable for families with young children, walkers and golfers ( sorry, we have No smoking and No dogs policies).
Polzeath beach is one of the best and safest surfing beaches in Cornwall with the Surf School and variety of water sports both in Polzeath and nearby Rock. Loved by the families with children Baby Bay is excellent for building sand castles, rock pooling, body boarding etc., whilst the main Polzeath beach is a good place for more experienced surfers. There are two golf courses within short drive and a number of shops, beach cafes and restaurants in Polzeath – just a short walk across the beach. Nearby Rock, Port Isaac and Padstow offer a wealth of places to eat and a good variety of shops, galleries etc. St Endellion Music Festival twice a year offers superb programs of chamber, choral, orchestral and opera performances. The garden lovers can enjoy outings to Cornwall’s famous gardens – The Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Helligan, Bosvigo, Trevithen, Pencarrow, Llunhydrock and Carhays.
Still within a short walking distance to all the amenities, Cowrie enjoys a quieter position on the edge of New Polzeath with the National Trust coastal path just outside the garden gate. It offers magnificent coastal walks to Pentire Point, Rumps (known for spotting seals and busking sharks) and Rock – areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Lovely beach side property, but also very good winter property, the sun room was amazing to sit in and ideal for Christmas, especially for the children and all the toys!! The kitchen had everything one could need, and although a bit cosy, there was enough room for us all around the table. The beds were very comfortable, and a separate TV in the children's bedroom was a definite plus ( for everyone!!) The host also kindly let me know what was open, over the break, so I was able to book lunch out for us all. The parking was close, and access to everywhere, good walks beaches, and shops. We had a wonderful family Christmas with 3 generations staying in the house, having not been together for over 3 years!! I would definitely recommend this house for people to stay at!!

The view from the sunroom was so beautiful that come rain or shine we were all sat around in there for much of our spare time. It's a great people watching slot as the coastal path is opposite. The beach is a very short walk away and meant the children were there for swimming, surfing or paddling every day! Younger children or non-swimmers would be best to stroll a little further over to the main beach as there can be a rip in Baby Bay. The main Polzeath beach is close by with lifeguard cover during the day and ice cream shops, the latter of which we tested extensively as fortunately calories don't count on holiday. The house is a little dated in parts, but the owner has gone out of their way to make all the key parts really work. The modern kitchen meant that eating in was easy with up to date appliances and a family sized fridge and freezer (we had a Sainsbury delivery the first evening) and plenty of room for us all to sit and share a meal. The ability for three people to get washed at the same time (after using the outdoor shower to warm through and rinse off) is fantastic when the British weather is less than reliable and the sheltered area outside so that wetsuits can be left to dry under cover is very valuable! Our visit to this property was delayed by 18 months due to COVID and the owner couldn't have been more helpful. Her communication from start to finish was brilliant and really helped us to feel confident in our stay. The house was cleaned to within an inch of it's life and my COVID worries were very much unfounded as it was all taken very seriously. Using a local cleaning service is a wise move by the the owner as little niggles like one of the thermostats needing a new battery was dealt with within 24 hours. It was fantastic to have a parking space as during busy times the parking is full, although finding somewhere for the second car took a little time and it wasn't in a permanent slot until late evening once day trippers had gone for the day.. Fortunately once we were all in situ we could share the one car and not have to worry. Overall we loved the house for it's location and the importance the owner placed on our safety and wellbeing. If you are going over school holidays make sure to book places to eat and things to do early as they were all very busy, bring your wetsuits (or hire from Polzeath main beach) and have a blast.

Wonderful week in Polzeath
Wonderful week in Polzeath
Blessed by good weather we enjoyed a great week at Cowrie. The house is wonderful for families who enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of Cornwall. Early morning dips before breakfast at Baby beach then surfing on the main beach later. My family had a ball. (Breakfast was had in the small garden directly above the beach. Idyllic) The proximity to the coastal path enabled walks one way to Rock or the other to Pentire point. Both fabulous. The house is well equipped for family suppers and bedrooms perfect for a holiday home.The outdoor shower after the beach is very useful. All in all, one day I hope we`ll make it back. Thanks Svetlana for the house and great communication. (Also the cake on arrival!)

We’ve stayed in polzeath many times but this was an excellent spot- With perfect access to the beach and a great garden overlooking the sea for sundowners. Right on the coastal path so great walking too. It all worked well for us and we loved our stay.
