Perched in the idyllic Cornish village of Crantock, is this contemporary detached house, Driftwood. Enjoying a superb location surrounded by sand dunes and just moments away from the beach and the renowned South West Coast Path, as well as a beautiful interior styled by an interior designer, Driftwood is a fantastic dog-friendly choice for a group or family of six. The property benefits from an off-road parking space, and a lovely, rear enclosed garden with bubbling hot tub, gazebo, barbecue and furniture, ideal for indulging in a spot of alfresco dining, followed by a dip! Be welcomed into the stylish open-plan living space, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen for rustling up your best dishes, ready to savour at the dining table for six, before kicking-back and relaxing on the plush sofa in front of the 43” Smart TV. There is also an inviting sitting room with 55” Smart TV, Blu-ray player, and plush seating, ideal for relaxing movie nights. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom for your convenience. Head up to the first floor, where a beautiful bathroom awaits, along with three gorgeous bedrooms, a four-poster super-king-size with en-suite shower room, a double, and a twin (zip/link), both with views over the rear garden. Explore the village, where you can stock up on essentials at the convenience store, treat your loved ones to a meal at Jam Jar Kitchen, The Cornishman, and the Old Albion Inn, take the little ones to the nearby children’s play park, embark on a hike along the South West Coast Path, or treat your pooches to a day on the dog-friendly sands of Crantock Beach. Next stop is the bustling town of Newquay, where you can try your hand at watersports on The Gannel Estuary, visit the family-friendly attractions of Pirate’s Quest Adventure Golf, Blue Reef Aquarium, Newquay Zoo and Fistral Beach, learn to surf, or dine at Graze Tapas Wine Bar and The Harbour Fish and Grill. Further afield, you’ll find Perranporth, home to The Watering Hole, Perranzbuloe Museum, and the annual Tunes in The Dunes Festival held in May. All this and more awaits at Driftwood.
The Cornish settlement of Crantock is conveniently located near the beach and the tourist hotspot of Newquay. This is the spot to be if you want to avoid the madding masses but remain conveniently near to all the activity. You may find beautiful landscapes and charming towns in all directions, but the shore is where most people go. You can go surfing on the beaches that span from Watergate Bay in the north to Fistral beach in the middle of Newquay and further south, or take a stroll along the coastal route across stunning cliff-tops. A variety of excellent restaurants, as well as historic inns and museums owned by the National Trust, may be found in the vicinity. Shopping, dining, and entertainment options abound in Newquay, and the city is conveniently located near other popular destinations like the Eden Project and Dairyland.

The house was immaculate however the garden was overgrown in particular the grass which was very long and the shrubs in the front garden
Victoria
The house is beautifully decorated, with everything we could possibly need to make our stay so comfortable. The owner has thought of everything, with a well stocked kitchen, lots of household appliances & a very clean outside area. The hot tub was great to get into at the end of a fun packed day and then relax in the fluffy robes. We will definitely return.
Karen
