Mawgan Pads Trevella Crantock

Mawgan Pads is a set of dog-friendly holiday lodges within Trevella Holiday Park in Crantock, each with private bathrooms, kitchen facilities, and garden views, plus a balcony or terrace. The property holds a 9.0 rating on Booking.com from 70 reviews, scoring 9.4 for both location and value.

A seasonal outdoor swimming pool, sun terrace, and garden provide outdoor space on site. The park also has a minimarket, children's playground, and outdoor seating areas. Free WiFi runs throughout the property, and free private parking removes the need to compete for coastal car park spaces during summer.

Crantock Beach - a broad stretch of sand backed by National Trust dunes with seasonal lifeguard cover - is 1.7 miles away. The Gannel Estuary behind the beach is popular with kayakers and paddleboarders at high tide. At low tide, a foot ferry crosses the Gannel to Newquay, making the town's restaurants, zoo, and aquarium accessible without driving.

Crantock village has a 13th-century church, the Old Albion pub, and a small shop - noticeably quieter than Newquay even in August. The National Trust headland at West Pentire gives views over the beach and estuary. Fistral Beach and its surf competitions are about 3 miles north. Newquay Cornwall Airport is 6.8 miles away.

Best for dog owners wanting a self-catering base with a pool on site, thanks to the free private parking and seasonal outdoor swimming pool at Trevella. Less good for guests wanting a beachfront stay, since the nearest beaches are all more than 1.3 miles away and reached by car or the low-tide ferry.

Nearby: Fistral (1.3 miles) and Towan Beach (1.3 miles). See our Crantock guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
