    "For a four bedroom property that sleeps up to 8 people having a kitchen dining table that can only fit 4 people comfortably is disappointing."

    6 people can fit round of it with one at each end however one person has to be squashed. No chance have more than 6 people.

    Thank you for the feedback. We could have easily sorted this for you if you'd contacted John Bray. The table is an extending table and usually left fully extended, with 8 chairs provided. We can only assume previous guests have made it smaller. Sorry this had such an impact on your enjoyment. Property Owner

    "We had a great stay at Surf Break."

    Location is perfect, quiet and just a short walk to the beach. House is great, very comfortable and well equipped. We had a few maintenance issues, but quickly sorted. Minor feedback to make it even better: 1. A lemon juicer would be great. 2 The coffee machine pods are an unusual size - couldn't find them in supermarkets 3. Option for a high chair and cot would be great.

    Really good to hear you had a lovely stay in our property, we agree it's in a great spot! And the warm weather this year has been a bonus. We did have a juicer so will check the inventory at the end of the season. Unfortunately, Nespresso Vertuo pods have to be compatible, but there are a couple of cafetières so hopefully not a major issue. John Bray do provide assistance for baby & toddler equipment so please ask them in future & I'm sure they will be very helpful - this gives assurance for guests that the equipment is safe and properly maintained throughout the season too. We try to be proactive with maintenance and our housekeeper had alerted us to a potential issue so we had it checked; so hope it didn't inconvenience you. Property Owner

    "We couldn’t find the grill pan."

    We couldn’t get the coffee machine to work with the coffee pods provided/left by previous user. The house was excellent. It was a hot sunny week and the house stayed cool and was very comfortable. Outside shower, laundry brilliant. Kitchen well equipped, pizza oven trays would be useful. We all loved the house and the location was perfect. Woodland walk down to village well used. We read the house info folder which was helpful. But minimal instructions for using appliances but we worked it all out. We would love to come back and we feel it is worth every penny of the rental price. Thankyou.

    We're sorry you had trouble finding the appliance instructions, but glad you were able to figure it out! The instructions are in the kitchen and utility room, but since you were unable to locate the grill pan, it's possible that past guests moved them. We don't provide coffee pods - we do encourage guests to bring their own in the "welcome email" sent out prior to their visit. We're really pleased that you liked the property and thought it was a good value; we want to offer a well-equipped property at a reasonable cost, so we're thrilled when guests take good care of it. We appreciate the wonderful review. PS - Pizza trays will be added to the list of things to add, thanks for the suggestion! Property Owner

    "Could not fault the property It delivers what 'it said on the tin' of the four bed rooms, two of which are en-suite; a separate bathroom & shower and a further shower and toilet adjacent to the utility room."

    Big lounge with balcony.

    Thank you for the 5* review, it’s always good to hear that people have enjoyed their holiday and that our property lived up to expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

    "We were very pleased to find that the property is just the same as the photos show, other properties we have stayed at use original photos which lead to disappointment."

    We were not disappointed, the property was clean, spacious and had everything needed for a wonderful holiday. Only grumble was regarding the toilet seat in the main house bathroom which was loose. We appreciated the Prosecco and biscuits. A surprise was the filled tea, coffee, washing machine pods, dishwasher tablets and hand soap. Super handy for local shops, pub and beach and if you don't want to go out loads of games, books and a wonderful garden to relax in.

    We’re so glad you had a wonderful holiday and a lovely stay at Surf Break, we really appreciate your feedback. It would be lovely to welcome you back in the future. Thank you for letting us know about the toilet seat, our plumber is going in this week to have a look and also fix a dripping tap in the downstairs shower room. Property Owner

    "We had a wonderful week."

    Best weather I have ever had in many years of going to Cornwall. We enjoyed the house very much. I had two small grandchildren 3 and 4 and they were experts at unlocking the front door from the inside. So it would be good to have some sort of a high lock on the inside just to be sure they couldn’t get out without someone seeing them. Not sure how you could do it. Other than that we found it very comfortable. I enjoy cool night but I think was a little too cold for A baby of eight months, I realised I could have rung John Bray but the week flew by and we kept forgetting during the busy days! We would definitely take it again!

    Thank you for reviewing our property, you were very blessed with the weather! The locking mechanisms were updated to allow easy escape without a key during a fire (Fire Regs). We will discuss this at our next fire safety review. The heating is on 24hrs but is lower overnight at 17/18 degrees, we would be more than happy to help with this in future. It's great to hear you really enjoyed the house and would definitely book again. Property Owner

The property

Surf Break is a wonderfully secluded and peaceful retreat, yet offers easy access to the surf and the vibrant village of Polzeath.

Nestled at the end of a private, no-through road and adjacent to a convenient woodland path, it’s just a few minutes’ walk from both the beach and the village. This inviting holiday home provides the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway, comfortably accommodating up to eight guests.

Ideal for families, friends, or couples seeking a coastal escape, Surf Break promises a memorable stay in this stunning location. A delightful detached property, Surf Break features relaxed, modern, and spacious yet cosy reverse-style accommodation.

Upon entering on the first floor, you’ll find a recently renovated, well-equipped kitchen-diner that leads into a comfortable living room and balcony.

From here, enjoy tempting glimpses of the beach and surrounding countryside through the trees—perfect for a morning coffee or an early evening aperitif. This floor also includes three of the four bedrooms, along with a family bathroom.

Downstairs, the secluded master bedroom suite boasts a super king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a cosy TV area that overlooks and provides access to the patio and garden. Also on the lower level is a utility room with a sink, washing machine, and tumble dryer, plus an additional shower room—bringing the total to four showers!

The enclosed and sheltered garden, accessible via the utility room or master suite, is ideal for al fresco dining, garden games, or simply relaxing with a drink after a day at the beach or exploring North Cornwall. Additional features include a hot outdoor shower, a wetsuit drying rail, and a storage area for surfboards.

There is private off-road parking for 2–3 cars, allowing you to park up and enjoy your stay without needing to drive. Modern comforts abound, with underfloor heating and Wi-Fi throughout the house.

With so much to see and do in the area, Surf Break is the perfect base for a Cornish adventure. Explore the charming town of Wadebridge and its surroundings—hire a bike and cycle the Camel Trail!

A short drive in either direction brings you to the picturesque fishing ports of Port Isaac and Padstow, both known for their quaint streets, gourmet restaurants, and stunning views. Further afield, the vibrant coastal town of Newquay offers surfing, golden beaches, and a bustling town centre filled with shops, cafés, and nightlife.

Other nearby gems include Boscastle, Tintagel, Harlyn, Trevone, and Bodmin—with its cycling trails, historic jail, and wild moors.

There truly is something for everyone.
