Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem is a detached two-bedroom house in Crantock village, sleeping 4. A ramp leads to the front door, with level access to the ground floor, which holds the sitting room, kitchen, dining area and a shower room. Both king-size bedrooms are upstairs. A log burner in the sitting room and an enclosed garden with BBQ give the property four-season utility. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the enclosed garden means they can be outside safely. Wifi, dishwasher, and washing machine are all included, with private parking for two cars. The house takes 7-night bookings only.

Crantock Beach is 0.7 miles from the village - a wide sandy beach at the mouth of the Gannel estuary with dunes backing the sand. The estuary crossing to Newquay is seasonal, so beach access from Crantock stays quieter than the Newquay beaches directly. Vugga Cove is 1.1 miles for rock pooling at low tide. Porth Joke - a National Trust beach accessed on foot - is 1.1 miles and avoids most day-tripper traffic by having no car park within close reach.

Crantock village itself has a post office and a pub within the village, which reduces the need to drive for everyday provisions. Newquay is about 2.5 miles for a wider range of shops, restaurants, and the rail connection.

Suits larger family groups or two families travelling together who want a ramped front door, a wood burner and an enclosed space for dogs and children. Works for groups wanting both beach access and a proper village base. Saturday changeover.
