Miss Kaines
This cottage is in fantastic location, mere minutes into the heart of Crantock village and just a few minutes walk to the beautiful beach. Very easy to commute to with ample parking. A lovely view of horses in the field from the garden and back bedrooms makes a nice backdrop when eating alfresco or opening the curtains in the morning. It was a hit with the children. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into all accessories/appliances/bedding and utensils supplied. The little welcome pack is very useful and packed with information. Wonderful to read as you enjoy a tea/coffee and shortbread also supplied - a lovely touch. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

This is a new build house on a small estate, so everything was very clean and in good condition. Nice sized kitchen diner and a comfy lounge downstairs. Good family set up with the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. The underfloor heating kept the whole house lovely and warm. Rather small garden. It should be pointed out that the metal guttering and down pipes are extremely noisy when it rains and we were woken up twice because of this during our stay. The house is very well situated for the village amenities and the beach. The shop is open every day, the pubs are very welcoming and the cafe looked really good too. It’s a fairly short walk down the hill to the sandy beach where there is a car park and coffee, snacks etc. are available. There are lots of other great beaches nearby too.
