THINGS TO DO WHEN STAYING AT ATLANTIC VIEW:

- Enjoy the beach, which is a one minute walk away; sand and surf, rock pools and exploring, fun and games, relax and sunbathe, fish and chips and ice cream

- Walk the coast path; it runs right in front of the house. One way takes you towards Pentire Point, Rumps Point and on to Lundy Bay, Port Quin and Port Isaac, the other way to Polzeath village (10 minutes) and on to Trebetherick, Rock and over the Camel Estuary by ferry to Padstow and beyond. The Cornish Chough has returned and can be spotted, if you are both lucky and observant, on the coast path between New Polzeath and Pentire Point. Also look out for other sea birds such as gannets, oystercatchers and puffins and listen out for skyarks and warblers. Seals frequent the area and occasionally basking sharks or even humpback whales have been seen. In the spring and early summer there is a riot of wild flowers on the cliffs and on sunny days butterflies flit amongst them, the rarer ones to look out for being the Marbled White, the Clouded Yellow and the Green Hairstreak. One day maybe even the Large Blue will be seen somewhere nearby, as conservation efforts hopefully take effect

- Explore the shops in Polzeath; the Spar shop there is excellent and there are clothes, souvenir and surf shops plus an art gallery and a post office

- Eat out without having to drive; the closest restaurant is The Atlantic Bar and Kitchen just 5 doors away. In Polzeath you can find fish and chips, Cornish pasties, pizzas and ice cream etc in addition to restaurants such as The Waterfront, The Cracking Crab, Surfside and TJ’s Kitchen or a little walk away The Oystercatcher, The Mowhay and The Valley Bar and Cafe

- If you prefer to eat in local specialities include seafood of all types (the fish shop and Just Shellfish in Port Isaac are excellent), Trebetherick asparagus when in season and Cornish pasties, the best being from Malcolm Barnecutt, which has branches in Rock (4 miles drive away) and Wadebridge (7 miles drive away)

- Visit Rock; you can walk there in 1 1/2 hours or drive. There you will find another lovely sandy, estuary beach and a range of waterspouts including sailing and water skiing plus places to eat

- Across the Estuary by ferry will take you to Padstow, famed for its Mayday ‘Obby ‘Oss festival and famous chefs including Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth. Prideaux Place, a brisk walk up the hill behind the town, is well worth a visit. People visit the area specifically to sample the great food that is available

- Visit Wadebridge, the local market town with an ancient bridge over the River Camel, The Camel Trail, a disused railway line which runs from the edge of Bodmin Moor to Padstow, now ideal for walking or cycling, and a large range of mainly independent shops plus some useful supermarkets

- Further afield The Lost Gardens of Helligan, The Eden Project and more sections of the South West Coast Path are magnets for visitors.

- Play golf; the nearest course is The Point at St. Minver, but walkable via a footpath from Polzeath. It also has a health club and swimming pool. Renowned links courses can be found at St. Enodoc and Trevose. The walk along the coastal path to St. Enodoc is delightful, taking in the tiny, ancient church by the 10th green, which was dug out of the sand dunes in Victorian times. John Betjeman, late resident of the area used to give poetry readings on Brae Hill opposite the church

- Get out your paintbrushes; Cornwall is renowned for its light and is a magnet for artists, both professional and amateur

- Lie back and get some R&R; take in the spectacular view from the terrace or the balcony, get lost in a book, enjoy a game with friends or family, have a good chinwag, crack open a bottle, do some communal food preparation using the huge charcoal barbecue and dine al fresco as the sun goes down. If you’re lucky you’ll catch a breathtaking sunset or even the green flash as the sun drops into the sea (except for a couple of weeks either side of the summer and winter equinoxes)
