Vey homely feel throughout the cottage, spacious kitchen dinner and very nice family living room. 4 adults, 1 child and a dog stayed and plenty of room for all. Crantock very friendly for tourists, 2 very nice pubs, a outside cafe/pizza shop/bar and a shop all a 5 minute walk away. Fresh eggs available from the house next door! Crantock beach about a 10 minute walk and West Pentire about a 10/15 minute walk.

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.
