About this property
Coppingers Cottage is located just a few yards from the golden sands of Polzeath. This remarkable terraced self-catering cottage sleeps four guests in two stunning bedrooms. Car parking for one car at the Tristram Carpark 700 yards away, unloading allowed only on the street. Original character features relive in the cosy beach side cottage. The living dining area feature an original cloam oven and beamed ceiling. Enjoy breakfast or dinner from the galley style kitchen in the cosy corner dining area. There is plenty of room to store body boards, buckets and spades outside in the courtyard. Upstairs there is a comfortable double bedroom with sea views, alongside this the family bathroom. The second bedroom has a cosy round porthole window with cabin style bunk beds for the children to explore the sea view and let their imagination take them to far away dessert islands. Polzeath is a perfect surf beach for novice and those more experienced, also its golden sand is the perfect partner for the bucket and spade. There is a wide selection of cafes, shops, restaurants and pubs nearby. The National Trust nature reserve of Pentire Point is not very far away, whilst Hayle Bay is a home from home for coastal birds like puffins. For those of that like the sea animals there is a close by Sea Safari where you may get a chance to see a pod of dolphins and seals.
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.

We always bring a few washable throws to put over them and itâs fine. Also there is a big damp problem which needs looking into especially upstairs. All our bed stuff has a strong damp smell to it. Apart from that weâve loved it and will be returning next year.

I notified the owner at the beginning of my stay about this, and she hasn't answered.

We rang to complain about the cleanliness: this included a very dirty rug; chewing gum on the top of the sofa back; drawers full of debris and hair. But the appliances were also poor: we reported that the fridge had a shelf fitted with sellotape. The shelf fell out spilling a full tub of cream. The television did not work properly with a faulty remote. This had been reported by several former renters (according to reviews) but had not been fixed. A whole new television could be bought with the profit from one week at high season. The quality of the cutlery and crockery was poor. The mugs are all Easter egg freebies or cheap mismatched items. Because there is no dishwasher, most of them were stained and filthy inside. There were only two we were prepared to use. The cutlery is thin, cheap and mismatched. A set of decent cutlery is an appropriate expenditure if you want to charge this sort of fee. The location of the cottage is good although noisy at night, but for that price we were expecting a certain level of comfort. Last year we rented a property equally close to the beach which was much quieter and had Smeg appliances, Cornish Blue crockery and decent cutlery. It was some £200 cheaper. As agents, you should be able to let the owners know what an appropriate fee is. This was grossly overpriced, maybe 25% higher than warranted. We have rented cottages through John Bray for 20+ years, but this was poor, especially since it was not even full high season as state schools were not yet on holiday.
