Apple Barn

Apple Barn is a Grade II listed barn conversion on Langurroc Road in Crantock, sleeping 4 across 2 bedrooms with 1 bathroom. The cottage is a 2-bedroom property from £898 per week, with the original stone walls and low ceilings intact - structural character that comes from the building's actual age rather than decoration.

An open fire handles evenings in cooler months. The garden includes a BBQ, and dogs are welcome, making it one of the more practical dog-friendly options close to the beach. Parking and wifi are included alongside a dishwasher and washing machine.

Crantock village is a 5-minute walk, with the Old Albion pub and a small shop. Crantock Beach is about 10 minutes on foot - a broad, dune-backed sandy beach managed by the National Trust, with seasonal lifeguards and surf. It runs into the Gannel Estuary, popular with kayakers at high tide. Fistral Beach in Newquay, known for its surf competitions, is about 1.5 miles north. The town of Newquay - with its zoo, aquarium, and restaurants - is 2 miles across the Gannel, accessible by foot ferry at low tide or a short drive.

**Best for:** couples or small families who want a village-feel holiday within walking distance of one of North Cornwall's best beaches; guests with dogs. **Less good for:** larger groups - the 2-bedroom layout caps at 4, and there is no hot tub or second bathroom.
