Polzeath ... surfing resort and in the summer months is a very busy place.

Newest Review: ... despite what you may think. If you fall into this category of people, or aspire to, Polzeath and surrounding areas may be for you. If, like us, you're unfortunate enough to live on under £50k a year, do not depair. The Seaview bar/resturant is quite expensive, but they do pizza's for under a tenner on the front terrace. We booked a table without seeing the menu, and I had my suspicions it ... more

... would be expensive when Harry Enfield turned up, but we had a fantastic three course dinner for two plus a nice bottle of wine for £70. The waiter informed us the Hugh Grant and Kate Moss had been earlier in the week. The Atlantic in has a good menu ...more

Polzeath: A Good Holiday, yah. (389 words)

We recently returned from what was a pleasant week in Polzeath- but it's changed since I was last there in 1992! What hasn't changed are the beautiful coastal walks (take the coastal path to Port Quinn, it'll take your breath away!), the stunning beach, the local conveniences, the strong surf culture and the friendly locals. Nearby are Rock and Padstow (or Padstein as some call it owning to the fact that Rick Stein owns half of it), towns which both now apparently attract well healed holiday makers. Naturally there is some overspill in Polzeath. It's not so much the yuppies I object to, more the yuppie-spawn, some of whom are legally old enough to drink. You will ... Read the complete review

I have just spent a week in Cornwall and had the pleasure to spend some time in Polzeath. Polzeath is a small town in North Cornwall on the coast which has a fantastic beach. It is one of the few beaches in Cornwall where you can drive directly to the beach. In fact there is even a car park on the beach! Don't let this fact put you off because it does not feel like you are sitting in a car park. The beach at Polzeath is extremely flat which means that depending on what time you arrive will depend on how big the beach is as the tide comes in extremely quickly. We arrived at about 5:30pm and there was loads of beach. By 7pm it was ... Read the complete review

We have recently returned from a week's holiday in Polzeath in Cornwall. Unfortunately for us, even though it was August, it did rain heavily every day but I'll try not to let that colour my judgement! Polzeath is on the North Cornish coast and is fairly close to Wadebridge and about twenty miles from Newquay. The centre of Polzeath is not vey big at all and is situated on a small headland. It's just over an hour's drive from Exeter which is very easily accessible from the M5. When you first drive into Polzeath from either direction you come down a steep hill and what will strike you above all else is the extremely busy beach whatever the weather! ...
