It really is a great place to explore the coastal walks from and sample the delights of Newquay. So, we'll be back again soon.

The pictures do not do the property justice, it exceeded our expectations immensely. It's a well appointed property with high quality fixtures and fittings. A nice touch was having tea and coffee supplied and a pint of fresh milk in the fridge. Looking out of the window and be able to see crantock beach was the cherry on the cake
