The Bolthole

The Bolthole is a converted farm building on Beach Road in Crantock, 430 metres from Crantock Beach. The cottage sleeps 2 in 1 bedroom, all on the ground floor. It is one of the more central cottages in the village, with the Old Albion pub and the village shop within a 2-minute walk.

Inside, the accommodation is compact and practical: a wood-burning stove, dishwasher, washing machine, and Wi-Fi are all included. The cottage is all on one level, with an en-suite bathroom off the bedroom. A garden and patio area are available for outdoor use. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome, with a charge of £40 per pet. Parking is on a shared driveway.

Crantock Beach is a wide, dune-backed beach managed by the National Trust and patrolled by lifeguards in summer. The beach is 430 metres away - roughly a 6-minute walk. Fistral Beach, Newquay's well-known surf beach, is about 1.5 miles by road. The Gannel Estuary behind the dunes is a tidal creek used for kayaking and paddleboarding. Newquay town centre, with supermarkets, restaurants, and the aquarium, is about 4.5 miles away. The South West Coast Path is close to the village.

**Best for:** couples or solo travellers wanting a village-centre base near the beach, dog owners, anyone who prefers a cottage all on one level. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. **Less good for:** families needing more than 2 beds, or those who prefer a quieter rural setting.
