It is a very cosy, comfortable holiday property. It is in an ideal location to visit the many beautiful coastal towns and villages of Cornwall. Crantock Lodge is in walking distance of a lovely beach about a 10-15 minute walk, partly steep. Take a trolley if you have lots of items to carry. Three double bedrooms, however one is very small with very little room around the bed. Parking is for two cars only, best to reverse onto the drive as the property is on a road that is busy during the day. You have to leave access to the house behind Crantock Lodge at all times.

The kitchen cupboards were a bit dirty and needed a wipe over, hence the slightly lower 'score' but I'd definitely book this cottage again
