Bluebell House 6

A three-bedroom house in Crantock, Bluebell House 6 sleeps 6 with distant sea glimpses from two of the bedrooms rather than a full sea view. Patio doors run from the open-plan kitchen straight onto an enclosed garden, so the main shared space has a direct outdoor link rather than a separate sitting room cut off from the garden.

The king-size bedroom has its own en-suite, and a double and a twin share a second bathroom, so two bathrooms between three rooms takes the pressure off at full occupancy. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and a dishwasher, and Wi-Fi and a washing machine are both included, useful for a full week of self-catering rather than a short break.

Barbecue and parking are provided at the house, and one dog is welcome. Three reviews so far average 4.3 out of 5, a reasonable score from a small sample. Crantock Beach is 1,200 metres from the door, Fistral is 1.1 miles and Vugga Cove 1.2 miles, with Newquay's wider surf beaches around 4 miles further on. The Crantock guide has more on the village and its beaches.

**Best for:** a family wanting three distinct bedroom types, an enclosed garden and room for one dog close to the beach. **Less good for:** guests wanting a hot tub, EV charging or confirmed step-free access.
