About Ivy Cottage

Perfectly positioned overlooking Polzeath Beach, this beautifully restored historic cottage offers an exceptional seaside escape on Cornwall’s breathtaking North Coast. With the beach quite literally on your doorstep and panoramic beach views stretching out before you, this is a place where coastal living truly comes to life. Wake to the sound of the waves, spend your days surfing rolling breakers or swimming in clear Atlantic waters, and wander the South West Coast Path to discover nearby golden sands and hidden coves. Within easy reach are Rock and Daymer Bay, the unspoilt beauty of Greenaway Beach, and the spectacular clifftop views from Pentire Point (2 miles). From Rock (2.5 miles), enjoy sailing, golf, boutique shopping and excellent restaurants, or hop on the ferry to Padstow for renowned seafood and harbour charm. The picture-postcard fishing village of Port Isaac (5.5 miles) is also close by, while Wadebridge (7 miles) offers easy access to the Camel Trail for scenic, traffic-free cycling adventures. Back at the cottage, traditional character meets relaxed contemporary comfort. Thoughtfully and sympathetically updated, the property retains its original charm while offering the high standards and facilities you’d expect from a truly special coastal retreat. One of the cottage’s true highlights is its exceptional outdoor living space. The superb elevated decking makes the very most of the panoramic beach views - a stunning setting for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or simply watching the tide roll in. A sheltered patio with dining table and charcoal BBQ invites long, leisurely lunches and relaxed evenings under open skies. Private off-street parking for three cars ensures easy arrivals and departures. The main house features a welcoming open-plan ground floor where a traditional-style lounge/diner flows seamlessly into a modern, well-equipped kitchen. Exposed beams, a window nook with sea views, and warm natural light create an inviting atmosphere for sociable meals and relaxed evenings. After a day on the beach, sink into the comfortable seating beside the wood burner - the perfect spot to unwind with a film or a good book. A stylish shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, three well-presented bedrooms offer flexible accommodation and plenty of storage. The master bedroom boasts a super-king zip-link bed (which can also be arranged as a twin) and enjoys its own en-suite bathroom with bath and rainfall shower, while two light-filled further bedrooms boast lovely sea views and share a contemporary family bathroom. One can be set up as a zip-link double or twins, and the other has two twins. The separate annexe enjoys wonderful views down to the beach and provides additional privacy and flexibility, sleeping up to three guests. With a twin bedroom upstairs and a single room and shower room and loo on the ground floor, it’s ideal for grandparents, older children, or anyone seeking their own peaceful space. Beautifully designed, wonderfully located and full of character, this unique coastal cottage offers the perfect balance of traditional charm and fresh, contemporary comfort - an unforgettable base for your North Cornwall escape.
