1 Atlantic View

A four-bedroom single-storey cottage in Crantock with sea views and a garden that backs directly onto the dune system above Crantock Beach. The path from the garden gate reaches the sand in around 600m, with no road crossing. The living and dining room comfortably seats eight, though the single bathroom means a full house needs to plan mornings around one washroom.

The four bedrooms cover a king-size four-poster in the master, a double, a twin, and a bunk room - a configuration that works well for two families or a group mixing adults and children. All four rooms are on one level, and off-road parking holds two cars. The dishwasher and washing machine are included, useful for a week-long stay with children.

Crantock Beach is backed by National Trust dunes with a seasonal lifeguard patrol and a tidal river that children can wade at low water. Fistral Beach is 0.8 miles in the other direction - a larger, surf-exposed beach with rental boards and wetsuit hire from several operators. Newquay town centre is within 1.2 miles, with a wider range of restaurants, supermarkets, and evening options than the village of Crantock itself.

This cottage suits two families sharing or a larger group wanting a beach-direct property without paying a coastal premium. The single-storey layout and garden access make it practical with young children. Less good for those who need dog-friendly accommodation. The sea view from the property and the 600m walk to the beach are the main draws.
