The Beach House

The Beach House is a contemporary one-bedroom cottage on the edge of Crantock village, sleeping 2 with 1 bathroom. A private garden, parking, wifi, and dishwasher are included. The cottage is on two floors, with a ground-floor bathroom and an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area. The bedroom has a king-size bed, a large dormer window and Velux windows, and the enclosed patio has an outside tap and two sun-loungers. Two dogs aged six months or over are welcome, at an extra charge per pet.

The cottage is 600 metres from Crantock Beach - a broad National Trust-managed sandy bay backed by dunes, with seasonal lifeguard cover and kayaking on the Gannel Estuary behind. Fistral Beach is 1.4 miles north, accessed via the road into Newquay. Vugga Cove is a third beach option along the coast, just under a mile from the cottage, if Crantock Beach is busy. Crantock village has the Old Albion pub, a 13th-century church, a village green, and a small shop - quieter than Newquay in character even at peak season.

Newquay is 4.5 miles away. The town adds restaurants, Newquay Zoo, and the Blue Reef Aquarium to the mix without requiring an overnight stay in the centre. Changeover is Saturday.

**Best for:** Couples wanting easy beach access and a village feel close to Newquay. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.

**Less good for:** Families with children requiring multiple bedrooms; those bringing more than two dogs.
