Crab Cottage

Crab Cottage is an attached two-storey cottage in Trevarrian, forming part of an extension to a 200-year-old main house on Cornwall's north coast. It sleeps up to 3 in a double and a single bed across 2 bedrooms, and welcomes up to 2 dogs. The cottage comes with private parking, an enclosed gravel courtyard, a BBQ area and Wi-Fi.

The ground floor has an open-plan living space with comfortable seating, a dining area and a well-fitted kitchen that looks out onto the courtyard terrace. A fully tiled shower room with a double-sized cubicle serves the property. The cottage sits about 500 yards from the South West Coast Path.

Mawgan Porth beach is 0.7 miles away - a wide sandy bay popular with surfers, with KingSurf and other schools running lessons from the sand. Watergate Bay is 1.2 miles in the other direction. Walking north along the Coast Path leads to the sea stacks at Bedruthan Steps, 2 miles from the cottage.

Mawgan Porth village, a 5-minute drive, has a cafe, surf hire and a local store. Newquay is 5 miles south with a broader range of shops and restaurants. Padstow lies about 10 miles north-east along the coast road. Newquay Airport is roughly 5 miles away.

Nearby: Mawgan Porth (0.7 miles) and Watergate Bay (1.2 miles). See our Mawgan Porth guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for couples wanting a quiet north-coast base close to the coast path, with the courtyard and BBQ area suiting owners of the two dogs welcomed here. Less good for anyone after evening dining on the doorstep, as Newquay's wider choice of restaurants is a 5-mile drive away.
