While there are mentions of minor maintenance issues and suggestions for updates, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests planning to return.
The property is generally found to be clean, with guests commenting positively on its tidiness upon arrival. However, there are isolated mentions of areas missed by cleaners, such as under rugs and sofas, which slightly impacts the overall cleanliness perception.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, local shops, and coastal walks, with many guests returning for the views and easy access to local amenities. The setting is described as wonderful, contributing to the property's appeal.

About this property
Trevega is a homely and welcoming, detached bungalow in the quiet neighbourhood of Higher Tristram, near Polzeath, Cornwall. This self-catering holiday home is located in an elevated position, enjoying spectacular sea views over Polzeath Bay and towards Pentire Head on the north Cornwall coast. Possible to accommodate six guests, Trevega offers a well-positioned, and well-equipped base for families and friends. Check the surf from the lawned garden and sun terrace and relax on the sheltered patio to the south of the property, with an adjacent private footpath providing easy access to Polzeath beach and shops from the house. A huge window in the lounge offers panoramic sea views, where you can sink into the sofa and watch the rolling tides and surfers, before taking advantage of the well-equipped kitchen. Catch some rest and enjoy yet more sea views from two of the three bedrooms on offer, selecting between a king-size, a twin, and a bunk room, all serviced by a bathroom and cloakroom. Pets are welcome to stay at the property by prior arrangement; the coastal paths and beaches of Daymer Bay and Rock provide wonderful walks and stunning landscapes for dogs and their owners. A stay in Polzeath ticks all the boxes for a family holiday; with a choice of places to eat, a good grocery store, boutiques, galleries, and gift shops there is no need to go far. Surfers of all abilities are well-catered for with surf schools and hire readily available. During high summer, listen to St Minver Silver Band play on the green in the evenings, or join the coastal path for rugged walks up and down the cliffs; keep your eyes peeled for seals and sea birds. Head upstream to Daymer Bay for more mellow waters, perfect for paddling and bathing; children will love sandcastle building and exploring the many rock pools. Offering something for everyone, book your next break at Trevega.
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.

Good outside space to relax and for our dog. Very comfortable, especially the bed. The grotty tape used on the shower screen to seal against the bath was not a standard that I would expect and is highlighted by others. The bin collection instructions are a little confusing (Thursday or Friday; should we ring the Council for collection) and no bags provided. There was a potential issue with the neighbour obscuring Trevega's drive by parking their cars in the road very close - but not a problem to us (we parked in the drive at the side of the house.

Its our third year running and we would love to come back. Beautifully clean when we arrived but just a few small issues which were sorted immediately which was great. As mentioned in previous years it would be great to perhaps have some hooks on the backs of all the bedroom and bathroom doors to hang towels as there is nowhere to hang/dry them. Also an outdoor shower would make a huge difference when all six coming in from the surf - one bathroom is not great when six people cold coming in from the sea or a wet day! Lovely garden and great that it's enclosed for our dog. Huge thank you for another great stay

It is all about the views which I know well with a path down to the beach, coastal walks, local shops and places to eat and drink all very accessible. The bungalow is simply furnished and comfortable. If feedback is helpful, I would say the shower screen needs a new strip as tape is currently being used. The beds in the twin bedroom have very thin mattresses and very creaky. We did however love our stay and would recommend it.
