Southview holiday home in Polzeath, Cornwall

Welcome to Southview Polzeath

A holiday cottage for the perfect Cornish getaway

Southview has been in our family for over thirty years.  It is used by three generations of us as our holiday home.  Various members of the family help us to maintain it.

It is a comfortable detached 1930’s bungalow which sleeps seven people.  It is located in the village of Polzeath at the mouth of the Camel estuary on one of the most beautiful stretches of the north Cornish coast.  It has wonderful views to the south over St Minver Highlands and enjoys some stunning sunrises.  The lack of light pollution means on clear nights the stars are spectacular. The area offers something for everyone without using the car; beautiful varied walks, two golf courses, surfing, sailing, wind surfing, family beaches and the ferry to Padstow all within walking distance from the house. A footpath at the end of the road leads to the coastal path.

Why you'll love Polzeath

Polzeath is a small village situated on the North coast of Cornwall on one of the most beautiful stretches of the north Cornish coast.

The area offers something for everyone; beaches of golden sand and quiet secluded coves, beautiful varied walks, two golf courses, surfing, sailing, wind surfing and family beaches... and all within walking distance of your accommodation at Southview holiday home.

If you're a cyclist then you're in for a treat as nearby is the famous Camel Trail, one of the most popular recreational routes in the country which runs from Padstow to Wenford Bridge, via Wadebridge and Bodmin, passing through wooded countryside of the upper Camel Valley and alongside the picturesque Camel Estuary. The Estuary is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provides an excellent habitat for birds.

Further afield, Southview is in a great position from which to explore the rest of Cornwall. A short drive away you have Padstow, Newquay, Port Isaac, Boscastle, and slightly further away favourites include Falmouth, the Eden Project, Lands End, and many National trust properties, art galleries, gardens and more.
