Elegantly reimagined, The Retreat returns as a striking coastal haven, just five minutes from the golden sands of Polzeath. With sweeping sea views and beautifully curated interiors, this contemporary beach house blends considered architecture with laid-back luxury. From sun-drenched terraces to a bubbling hot tub beneath the stars, every detail has been designed for restful, easy-going days by the sea.
Set across two spacious levels, The Retreat embraces upside-down living to make the most of its elevated setting. Upstairs, a vaulted kitchen and dining space opens onto a balcony, where views stretch out to Gulland Rock and beyond. The adjoining living room is made for slow evenings. Think soft throws, a glowing log-burner and beautiful vistas from Stepper Point to the Atlantic horizon.
Just moments from the house, the beach beckons - perfect for morning surfs, sunset strolls or spontaneous swims. After salty adventures, sandy paws can be rinsed off under the dog shower by the front door, while the downstairs snug offers a quiet spot for movie nights or catching up on emails.
As eyelids grow heavy, four restful bedrooms are spread across both floors, with a gentle coastal palette of warm woods, soft linen and sea-glass blues and greens. Two doubles and two twins offer flexibility for families or friends, while the indulgent freestanding tub in the family bathroom promises long, luxurious soaks after days in the salt air.
