About this property

Fab house/real fires/huge garden/ in Cornish village/walkable to beach.

Come and stay in the tranquil village of Crantock, in a spacious homely house with a huge child friendly garden and only a 10 minute walk away from a beautiful long sandy beach and the River Gannel. Crantock village itself has a well stocked village shop (1 minute walk) including freshly baked rolls, croissants and traditional Cornish pasties; a Post Office service is offered too. There is also a pleasant cafe in the heart of the village. There are 2 public houses (as of 19 July 20 one may be under renovation) in the heart of the village (2 minute walk) and another a mile away which overlooks the stunning Crantock Bay.

Crantock Corner provides everything needed for a great holiday; fabulous, clean accommodation with huge enclosed, tree lined grassed garden and situated in a perfect village location close to the stunning Crantock beach.

Crantock Corner itself is an extremely well presented family house and comfortably caters for 8 people; however, there are bed spaces for 11 people. Consisting of 5 bedrooms (1 ensuite) and 2 bathrooms (1 downstairs) it has a large family lounge and a cosy snug room with an open fire. It also features a well equipped fitted kitchen containing a brown leather chaise longue situated next to a large window to offer great views over-looking the garden and village. The dining area comprises an 8 seat oak table that is extendable to cater for 10 people and a beautiful art deco open fire. The utility room is a perfect sleeping area for pets and it is adjacent to the downstairs bathroom. A freezer, washing machine and separate dryer are located here.

All the village pubs serve good food and local real ales and cider. Newquay is accessible by foot, bus or car and offers most amenities expected of a small seaside town such as surf shops, supermarkets, lively pubs, restaurants for every palate and a cinema. The cathedral city of Truro and the unique Eden Project (with indoor rainforest) are approximately 30 minutes away by car.

In summary; spacious, tasteful, clean accommodation with 3 seated lounge areas. Outside a huge enclosed garden with a patio and round wicker table and comfortable chairs. A wooden bench is also provided along with another table and chairs..

A great house in a great location. Plenty of bedrooms and space for 7 adults. Paul was there to greet us when we arrived and was quick to sort out a small problem we had. It was a 10/15 minute walk to Crantock Beach which was very quiet! The only thing we struggled with was work space in the kitchen. It was a relatively small kitchen for the size of house. However, this is me nit picking and it didn't ruin the enjoyment of our stay.

Thanks for your kind comments, leaving the house clean and tidy and looking after it during your week. Basically great guests. The kitchen space can be tight but the Chaise Longue overlooking the garden won when the space was designed. Really appreciate your honest review. Welcome back anytime,

Spacious house in the heart of Crantock

5 good size bedrooms, nice kitchen and 2 lounges plus a good size garden make thus a great house for a family or group of friends. Very handy too that TV also has Netflix/Amazon! It’s just a 3 minute walk to the well stocked village shop and 10 minutes or so to the fantastic Crantock beach. Thoroughly recommend it!

Excellent Property

Had a great week with a number of family members The location was good as we could go down the hill to the pub and beach or across on walks/runs Garden is a good size and kept the dog happy House is Number 1 when trying to find it and on the junction which was not an issue We had 4 cars in total, there is extra parking at the village hall which is £3 a day, the tickets and payment can all be sorted with the next door neighbour Steps at the front of the property may be an issue with anyone with mobility issues, for all of us was no issue En-suite serves one bedroom and the rest of upstairs via 2 doors which is not an issue Well equipped kitchen Everyone really enjoyed the stay and if I was going back to Crantock with a large group I would definitely stay again Owner was very helpful, 5* all around from us
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
Communication with David was really straightforward and the house was left extremely clean and tidy; especially helpful on changeover days of large groups. There are 12 steps up to the house with a hand-rail. Access can be gained at one end of the terrace via a path but the house has not been adapted for wheel chair access. Your honest review is really appreciated David; I want all guests intending to stay at Crantock Corner knowing exactly what they are booking and to have no surprises when they arrive. Speaks volumes when guests say they will return; thank you so much.

Great House for Two Families.

Crantock Corner is a great house for two families holidaying together. It offers plenty of space for both the adults and children. The village has a great village shop and The Albion pub serves excellent beer and offers a good menu to meet everyone’s taste. Paul the owner is always on hand to answer any questions. We will definitely return.

Perfect house for large group of family or friends in ideal location.

We have stayed at Crantock Corner now for the last 6 or 7 years and have always found it to be very clean and tidy. My wife Janet and I always stay for 2 weeks and our daughters and partners with our 4 grandchildren come usually about the middle weekend to join us for our second week. The enormous garden has been used over the years for cricket, football, tennis, badminton and many other games. It is ideally located within walking distance of the beach (as long as you’ve plenty of hands to carry everything) to avoid queuing at the car park. At low tide if you enjoy walking you can walk over to Newquay and keep the car at home. If you ever have any problems (which would be very unusual) .the owner Paul or his daughter Elle are always on hand to sort things out, including sorting out the sleeping arrangements to suit your needs. The village of Crantock is a very pretty village with 2 pubs just 2 minutes down the road serving lovely food, although with the weather being so lovely this year, we walked the 1mile on the road to The Bowgie to dine out admiring the fantastic views. Thanks very much Paul and Elle from Colin, Janet, Sarah, Steve, Katie, Dan, Daisy, Oliver, Joseph, Maya and Ruby the dog. From Huddersfield and Leeds.

Real home from home

This is our fifth time at crantock in this house. It is ideally placed for the local shop, beach and pubs. It is very clean and comfortable and the garden is ideal for children and dogs to play in safety. Paul, the owner is very helpful and thoughtful and keeps in touch regularly to make sure your stay is trouble free

Stephanie, really appreciate you taking the time to write this review. It speaks volumes your family visiting 5 years on the trot. I may be biased too but it is in an ideal location for shops, beach, pubs and the coastal path as you mention; you don't really need to leave the village or use the car, especially now with online shopping. Here's to year 6! Best regards, Paul.

Wonderful large family home

We had a fantastic long weekend at Crantock Corner. We were a group of friends, and the amount of space in the house was fantastic. You have a great number of sleeping options with both single and double beds. The social areas were also great. We used the kitchen to cook breakfast and enjoyed it sitting in the morning sun in the garden. Paul and Elle made the trip very easy and communication was great from as soon as I made the booking. Thank you!

Richard, many thanks for taking the time to write a review. So glad you had a fantastic weekend; that's most important to us. Commenting on the space and social areas is appreciated as sometimes the photos do not give the house justice. Hope we can help in the future. Best regards, Paul and Elle.

Spacious and comfortable home from home

Paul and his daughter Elle were very accommodating from the start, allowing us to bring 4 dogs with us to the property and have a Thursday check in/check out. We weren't let down when we arrived as we were able to utilise the large patio in the sunshine for breakfasts and evening meals, and walk the dogs on the sweeping Crantock beach first thing in the morning, and at sunset every night. The bedrooms and living areas are spacious and the kitchen very well equipped, with a picture window to view the fields while having a morning coffee. Our direct neighbour was lovely, and always helpful, and the pub at the bottom of the hill "The Cornishman" was also very dog friendly, served wonderful food, and allowed us to use their barrier controlled car park FOC when we had too many cars for the drive. All in all it was an idyllic holiday. Thankyou Paul and Elle.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review Martin; really appreciate it. Elle and I want to help as much as possible to make guests stays as enjoyable as possible; we appreciate you highlighting that, it means alot to us. We also like to consider any break length and start day. The seating area in the kitchen is commented on by many guests whatever the season; so glad you enjoyed it. The amount of dogs is not a problem either as there is plenty of space inside and out as you state. Hope we can help in the future. Best regards, Paul and Elle.

Tim, many thanks for the time you have taken to write this review. I am glad that your family had plenty of space; even more than the pictures portray. Families need that! Also thanks for mentioning the communication; that is really important to my daughter and I. We both want all our guests to have a hassle free stay at Crantock Corner and we will do our very best to help both before and during their stay to provide information and/or assistance. Thanks very much again; hope we can help again in the future. Paul and Elle.

Lovely large house.

We spent a lovely Christmas holiday in Crantock Corner with the family. There were 8 adults but we found we had plenty of room and the sleeping arrangements worked perfectly for us. The size of the main lounge is amazing, with the added bonus of a smaller lounge if required. Although the kitchen is quite small everything we needed was provided and we managed to cook Christmas dinner with no problems. The area is beautiful with plenty of walks and the village is very pretty. The 2 pubs are friendly and serve good food and beer and the shop is perfect for groceries etc. (The pasties were gorgeous!) All in all a fabulous place for a family holiday.
