Seacroft

Seacroft is a 3-bedroom dog-friendly cottage on Beach Road in Crantock, sleeping 6 across 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Its position on Beach Road puts everything within easy walking distance - a genuinely rare combination of village amenities and beach access for a Cornish cottage.

Inside, the cottage has two separate sitting rooms, one with an open fire that makes it workable in the shoulder season. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, and a large dining table suits families eating in together. WiFi, parking, and a washing machine are included.

Outside, there is a fenced garden suited to dogs and children. Crantock Beach is 600 metres away - a wide, dune-backed sandy bay at the mouth of the Gannel Estuary, managed by the National Trust with seasonal lifeguard cover. Fistral Beach, one of Cornwall's most well-known surf spots, is about 0.9 miles north. The village has the Old Albion pub, a small shop, and the National Trust headland at West Pentire a short walk beyond.

**Best for:** Families with dogs wanting beach access on foot; groups after a quiet village base near Newquay's amenities; anyone needing shoulder-season warmth from the open fire. **Less good for:** Those who want Newquay's nightlife within walking distance.
