Downstairs you will find plenty of living space with a conservatory, sitting room, dining/family room, a well equipped kitchen, a utility room and downstairs loo. The kitchen, dining room and conservatory all have beautiful large windows which look out over stunning sea views across Crantock Bay and the surrounding headlands. Patio doors lead out from both the dining room and the conservatory onto a large wooden deck with table and chairs. Making inside/outside living easy. The deck is a perfect spot for relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine and watching the sun set over the bay.

Upstairs all 4 bedrooms are ensuite (2 kingsize bedrooms, 1 double bedroom and 1 twin bedroom). The 2 spacious master bedrooms have 2 -3 large windows which provide panoramic sea views over the bay. Both these bedrooms have plenty of space to accommodate a cot.

The well kept garden has plenty of seating in which to enjoy the sun and watch the sea. In addition to the top deck by the house, there is also a further decked area with soft rattan chairs and a coffee table, at the bottom of the garden - this is a perfectly peaceful spot for grabbing one of the deckchairs, relaxing in the sun and watching the tide roll in, or getting away from everything with a book to the sound of the waves.

Other children's equipment provided includes high chair, black out blind, stairgates (at both top and bottom), plastic cups and bowls and a cold water steriliser.

Crantock cottage is in the heart of the quintessentially Cornish village of Crantock, and is just a 5-10 minute walk via a footpath down to the beach, making it an ideal base for family beach holidays. In addition there are many local attractions and activities nearby in Newquay and Truro

Crantock is lovely picturesque village with many amenities including convenience shop, post office, tea rooms and a 400 year old thatched village pub which serves good quality food. Outside the heart of the village there is also a beach cafe and a cliff top restaurant and bistro looking out over the sea.

The main reason people consider Crantock to be one of the most desirable places to visit is its large sandy bay, (perfect for paddling, swimming and surfing) and the protected National Trust headlands and Gannel Estuary which provides a haven for wildlife and birds.

Nearby is the secluded beach of Polly Joke, without a carpark and only accessed via a footpath - it is perfect for relaxing far away from it all.

Newquay boasts 4 large beaches, which offer a variety of water based activities including, surfing lessons, coasteering, paddle boarding and fishing trips.

A little further is the harbour town of Falmouth (23 miles away), with a fantastic maritime museum and plenty of opportunities for windsurfing, kayaking and sailing.

    My family and I enjoyed a wonderful week at Crantock Cottage, made extra-special by being able to include our 11-month-old Grandson on his first seaside holiday. Everything was clean and tidy and well-equipped for us all. The sea views and walks were amazing, with good local amenities. Our hosts were very helpful and informative and we would definitely like to book again in the future. Many thanks Vicky and Ian.

    So glad we booked Crantock Cottage.The house was very clean and well equipped. If you are cooking the oven is wonderful and brand new!The bedrooms all have en-suites, two bedrooms are huge with King beds which were comfortable and had good quality bedding.We ate on the deck outside mostly as we had good weather. The conservatory was nice to sit and read when it was chilly. There’s lots of space.We had our dog with us, she loved the garden which was enclosed, good size with lovely plants and lawn. The house itself is a little dated but that added to the charm. There are good walks to beaches from the house, no need to take the car. Great if you surf as Crantock Beach is a short walk away.There’s a couple of pubs in the village and some beach cafes nearby.The best thing about the house was the fabulous view of the sea from the bedrooms large windows also from the deck and downstairs. The sunsets were just lovely. Stay here if only just for that

    The cottage was more than we had expected. Brilliantly equipped kitchen, coupled with toys, games and books to keep all ages entertained. The garden was brilliant for the children when we were not at the beach, out walking or exploring. The guide prepared by the owners was a great starting point with some useful tips. A box of tea bags, a packet of biscuits, box of fudge and a pint of milk was the perfect touch after a long drive down to Cornwall. We had a really lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay...the daily handful of blackberries picked by the children from the garden to top their holiday pancake breakfasts was one of the highlights.

    Crantock Cottage was perfect for our family vacation, grandparents, parents and three children. It has lots of space and all bedrooms had ensuite. Nice garden for kids to play in and lovely views. Thoroughly recommend.

    Excellent communication with this property, Vicky was quick and check really easy. Good driving instructions too!. We stayed as a family with children in 20’s and parents 60’s. Great location, amazing having en-suites in every room. Hidden gem with rattan sofa at the bottom of the garden was perfect. Beautiful sunsets that you can see from outside or in the conservatory ( where we spent a lot of the time). Thanks again Vicky, would definitely stay again.

    Crantock Cottage experience

    Arriving Friday 4th February 2022. From outside it is inviting. On looking around first was the dirty kitchen bin. Then rusty old looking toaster. Landing carpet covered in white bits from loft above. Blue over blanket in main bedroom soiled with what looked like grease stains. Family bathroom radiator not clean appeared like rusty marks which did come off with CIF cleanser. Bath panel does not move offering little space to manoeuvre. Photos taken. Vicky the host did apologise and a new toaster arrived on Monday evening. We therefore felt the cottage had not been deep cleaned and also to a Covid standard. We have been highly disappointed and so needed this break and only rescued by the beautiful area and polite texts from the host - Annette and Henry

    We have had a wonderful family holiday in this spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped & comfortable 'home from home' accommodation. With sea views it is in a great location ideal for walking the coast path, local beaches & exploring Cornwall by car. We would all highly recommend.
