Easy walk to to pub! The house was well equipped with everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The dogs loved the garden and the hot tub was special (with robes provided) - when the dogs were inside the house couldnât trust them near the water ! A lovely welcome card and gift from the owners who were more than helpful when we asked a question. We will definitely be back.

Perfect location. 10-12 minute walk to the Crantock beach where you can find scoop ice cream and a military truck selling coffee. Two pubs, village shop and jam jar restaurant (best pizza around) in walking distance. The property itself was very clean and had everything you needed for a weekâs stay. The garden is well maintained and the hot tub was a great addition. Bonus being dog friendly, our Labrador had the best time. Thank you also for the welcome gifts on arrival, made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back soon.

We arrived before check in and had a lovely chat with the owner who only lived a few doors down. Happy for us to park on the drive until check in. We walked to the local pub in Crantock for a lovely lunch after a long drive and then walked down to the beach. Perfect location. Home from home with everything you need. Lovely welcome treats even some treats left for our dog. Very clean property. Wouldnât have known other dogs had stayed in prior. We will 100% be back.
