Rosemaddon

Rosemaddon is a three-bedroom cottage on Halwyn Hill in Crantock, sleeping six with two bathrooms. It is a Grade II listed former chapel, with a Minstrel's Gallery over the living room. Dogs are welcome, and the enclosed garden gives them space to run without the beach hassle.

The cottage has Wi-Fi, off-road parking for 2 cars, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Three bedrooms sleep six across two bathrooms; the layout suits two families or a mixed group sharing. The super-king bedroom has an en-suite bath with a shower over it, and the twin has a Juliette balcony. Changeover is Friday.

Crantock Beach is 0.6 miles away - a wide, dune-backed bay that faces west and is calmer than Fistral. Vugga Cove is also about 1.1 miles away. Fistral Beach itself is 1.1 miles, with surf schools and the Stable restaurant on the cliff top. The village of Crantock has a pub, tea room, and a small shop. Newquay is under 2 miles north for bigger supermarkets and evening options.

Best for dog-owning families who want Crantock's quieter character over Fistral's surf-crowd energy. Less good for groups expecting a food-and-drink scene on foot - the village has one pub and a tea room, and a car is needed for anything beyond that.
