Polzeath
AREA GUIDEPerched in the hills above Polzeath on the North Cornwall coast, Koto at The Point sits within 240 acres of open landscape; a rare combination of wild, unspoilt countryside and resort-quality amenities. Set within The Point, a family-run estate with an 18-hole golf course, health club, spa, padel and tennis courts, and a restaurant and bar, cabin owners enjoy the best of both worlds: genuine seclusion, with everything you need just a short walk away.
The 18-hole golf course has stunning views out over Hayle Bay and Pentire Point.
The Point
The Point has been owned and shaped by Jeremy and Eva Davies for over a decade; a commitment that shows. Jeremy’s lifelong connection to Cornwall and Eva’s Norwegian roots inform an ethos built around outdoor living, considered design, and an unhurried pace of life. The estate continues to evolve: the recent addition of padel and tennis courts, a redesigned health club, and the development of Koto cabins reflect an ongoing ambition to create something genuinely exceptional on the North Cornish coast.
For cabin owners, the estate is the starting point for everything: coastal walks from the door, early morning swims at Polzeath Beach a 15-minute walk away, and long evenings at the bar with views out over Hayle Bay.
The Local Area
Koto at The Point sits a mile from the Camel Estuary and within easy walking distance of Polzeath Beach; one of North Cornwall’s most loved surf beaches, with a dependable Atlantic swell, a sandy shoreline that rewards low tide, and a village feel that has kept locals coming back for generations. Independent shops, cafés, and restaurants line the seafront, including The Mowhay, Surfside, and The Cracking Crab.
The surrounding coastline is threaded with trails: the South West Coast Path runs along the headland at Pentire, with views across to Newquay on a clear day. Cyclists and runners are equally well served, with quiet lanes and off-road routes in every direction.
Just south along the estuary, the village of Rock offers sailing, water sports, and one of Cornwall’s finest waterside settings. To the north-east, the historic fishing village of Port Isaac is home to Nathan Outlaw’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant — a destination dining experience in one of the county’s most atmospheric corners.
Day-to-Day Life
For day-to-day life, Wadebridge is around 10-15 minutes by car. A proper Cornish market town with a strong independent high street, two butchers, a fishmonger, cinema, sports centre, and good schools. It’s the kind of place that makes a second home feel genuinely liveable, not just a weekend retreat.

Further Afield
The well known fishing town of Padstow is around 30 minutes drive by car — or a short ferry crossing from Rock across the Camel Estuary which is only 5 minutes from Koto at the Point. The town’s restaurant scene is among the best in the South West: Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, Paul Ainsworth at No. 6, and Prawn on the Lawn are all within easy reach. The Pig at Harlyn Bay offers an indulgent setting for long lunches, and Coombeshead Farm acclaimed for its nose-to-tail cooking and slow-food philosophy is worth the 45 minute drive in itself. The Eden Project’s biomes are roughly 35 minutes south, a worthwhile half-day with or without children.
Getting Here
Getting to North Cornwall is easier than many expect. The A30 dual carriageway connects directly to the M5 at Exeter, making the drive from London a straightforward four-to-five-hour journey. Bodmin Parkway is the nearest mainline station, approximately 40 minutes by car, with direct trains to London Paddington in under four hours. Cornwall Airport Newquay offers regular flights to London Gatwick and Stansted, as well as a growing range of seasonal European routes.
