Bluebell House

Bluebell House is a four-bedroom house for eight guests in Crantock, one of the larger self-catering options in the village. Two king-size rooms sit alongside a double and a twin, sharing two bathrooms between them, a useful mix for a family or two couples who don't want to share sleeping space. Sea glimpses reach two of the bedrooms rather than the whole house.

Light-filled rooms and contemporary fittings run through the house, and a garden with a barbecue sits outside for evenings in. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher and a washing machine are all included, so this suits a full self-catered week as much as a long weekend, and one dog can join the group.

Guide pricing has previously started around £1,516 a week in peak weeks, a figure worth checking against current availability. Crantock Beach is around 1,200 metres away, Fistral 1.1 miles and Vugga Cove 1.2 miles, all close enough to walk to for a morning surf. The Crantock guide covers the village and its water sports options in more depth.

Three reviews have given the house a perfect 5 out of 5, including across every category rating, though it's still a small sample to weigh heavily. **Best for:** families or two couples wanting four bedrooms, sea glimpses and Crantock Beach within walking distance. **Less good for:** larger groups needing more than two bathrooms or guests wanting EV charging.
