About this property

The Haven is a wonderful holiday home in Trebetherick, conveniently located adjacent to a beach footpath heading to North Cornwall’s beautiful Daymer Bay. Set over three floors, this elegant property comfortably sleeps 12 guests in six plush bedrooms, offering spacious, high-quality living, where guests can switch off and relax on holiday. True to its name, the property really is a haven for an extended family holiday, with features to suit all ages.

Step into the spacious hallway that invites you into the beautiful light and bright kitchen, equipped to cater to even the most experienced of chefs’ needs. Large doors open out into an open-plan dining and sitting room where an open fireplace takes centre stage, and light floods through from the adjacent sunny conservatory.

The perfect spot to come together with family, the large conservatory not only offers plush seating but also features a ping pong tale for some post-dinner evening entertainment. Alternatively, head into the media and TV room for a snug movie night, perfect for rainy days – the property really does have a solution for all weathers!

Five bedrooms reside on the first floor, including a master en-suite bedroom, as well as a family bathroom and shower room. Additionally, a sixth bedroom and bathroom are located on the second floor, creating a separate space from the main living areas for a couple looking for peace and quiet to hunker down and rest – which is especially needed after long days at the beach or exploring the stunning coast path.

When on holiday to the coast, there really isn’t anything quite like taking in the fresh sea air and making the most of the great outdoors, and the exquisite, sheltered patio and garden provides a relaxing oasis for all ages to relish in that holiday feeling. With ample space to play family games, lounge on the outdoor sofa and dine alfresco, the garden is a superb spot for all the family. There is even a very useful outdoor shower, convenient for post beach trips, to wash off sandy paws, toes and beach gear!

With private parking, you can easily drive to nearby chocolate box towns and villages, should you wish, but with so much to see and do from your doorstep you can happily explore the local area on foot if you prefer. A small footpath leads you to Daymer Bay, or head further along the coast path to visit the popular cosmopolitan destination of Rock and the small beachside village of Polzeath.

The Haven lives up to its name, providing a wonderful retreat for an extended family to relish in coastal life and explore the best of North Cornwall at any time of year.

Daymer Bay and the village of Trebetherick were both loved by Sir John Betjeman and are unquestionably special. With a huge appeal to both the young and not so young, Daymer Bay has recently been voted one of the best beaches in the world! St. Enodoc Church, once buried in the sand, is within comfortable walking distance of Daymer Bay and is the resting place of Sir John Betjeman. Daymer Bay holds great appeal for wind surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders, with the gentle waves rolling up the estuary. There is enormous fun too for small children with buckets and spades and fishing in the rock pools. At low tide you can walk across the sand to the village of Rock to indulge in a spot of retail therapy or a bite to eat at one of the many delicious eateries, or catch the short ferry ride and explore the delights of Padstow. Up from the coast path as it runs from Daymer Bay is Highcliffe, nestling between Polzeath and Trebetherick, both of which boast a number of pubs, restaurants and village stores all offering a wide variety of fresh quality produce. The properties at Highcliffe have the advantage of being within easy reach of Daymer, Polzeath and Greenaway - Greenaway being the name given to the clifftop area, beach and small cove with rock pools overlooking the Atlantic beyond that lies between Daymer and Polzeath.

    Large airy rooms and full of space and character. Very good if you’re a large group. Plenty of bathrooms. Relaxing and fun. Brilliant position as well. Massive garden.

    It does lack some basic equipment: an outside shower. This is normal for Cornwall properties which we have rented over many years and does help to keep some of the sand out of the house. Curiously, there was not even a mop provided. The kitchen was very short of large serving dishes and had only just enough plates/glasses for a party of 12. The dishwasher had to work pretty hard. There seemed to be an infestation of moths - especially on the top floor which needs to be dealt with, The large tele room was great (although we had such good weather we didn't use it much!). We had an excellent week with fabulous weather and would return. I found communication with Sykes Cottages before our holiday a frustrating experience. There wasn't even an email for questions and calls were all channelled to the head office who obviously had no local knowledge. They seemed reluctant to put one in touch with anyone locally which required a lot of calls back. On arrival the information folder was so well hidden in a drawer that we tried to phone the office to find out the wifi code. We left a message that was never returned but luckily tracked it down. A slightly more personal welcome would have been nice. All the information in the folder was generic with nothing pertaining to the property we were in. In fact there was conflicting information about bin collections. I did manage to phone the local office who were efficient and helpful.

    A big airy comfortable house, beautifully situated with a big garden. There was plenty of room for our family and friends to enjoy, and the kids loved the media room. However, as previous reviews have said the house would benefit from a bit of care and attention. The house feels a little neglected which is a great shame, as it is a beautiful house. A visit from the window cleaner would be a good start, so you could really enjoy the glorious views. However, we are still hoping to return next summer as we all enjoyed the charm of this lovely Daymer Bay House.
