Zapadiah

Views were amazing, beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped.

We loved this cottage!

Great location and lovely property.

Everything you need for a great stay. Only suggestion would be make the patio accessible so you can sit out in the evening enjoying the view and sun. Also make step down the very steep driveway. Inaccessible to those who may struggle to walk etc. older generation.

Overall a lovely stay, a few things could be done to improve future guests stays.

No garden furniture whatsoever, meant we couldn’t use the garden like we’d want to for sitting out to dinner etc Only one set of front door keys, 2 sets would make life easier when the group splits up Back door can’t be locked from the inside Windows could be cleaned on the outside on changeover day so the spectacular view can be fully appreciated on arrival - they were really dirty and so my husband went round and cleaned them Beds are so creaky it’s impossible to turn over without waking yourself and others up in the room The view is second to none on this property and I don’t think you’ll find better at this price anywhere in Polzeath. It is basic but it does have all you need - well equipped kitchen and lounge furniture is comfier than it looks in the photos! Clean and tidy on arrival. There is a sign on the garden wall about parking fines for non residents - John Bray weren’t particularly helpful in knowing if a holiday tenant counts as a resident. We parked on the road and put a piece of paper in our cars explaining who we were. We didn’t get a fine (luck?) but it would be useful for John Bray to do some homework on this and include it in the listing for future guests especially as it’s advertised as having “ample” parking. The garage can be used if you have a small car, the driveway can be used for anything smaller than an xc60 (Volvo) but is on a very steep incline which is why we chose to park on the road. Overall we would stay at this property again (4 adults & 2 kids)

We enjoyed our stay and the house is light and airy.

We felt the furnishings are a bit tired and dated. The kitchen is well equipped and newer. The location is great with an amazing view of the beach. It is very convenient for the beach and the shops. More could be made of the garden and there was no table to use outside. The drive is very steep and not really suitable to use. There was blood on some of the cushions on the sofa.

This is our second year staying in Zapadiah, we wish we could book 2 weeks but there never seems to be 2 weeks availability.

We absolutely love it. The view is magnificent. Highly recommended

Loved the cottage, the view was magnificent.

Perfect in every way

Alittle dated Decking area definitely a plus , we booked Zapadiah in 2010 and apart from kitchen and lounge furniture no other improvements
