The Old Butchers

The Old Butchers is a detached cottage in Crantock, near Newquay, sleeping 6 in three bedrooms. Upstairs are a 4ft 6in double with an en-suite shower, a 5ft kingsize and a room with twin 3ft singles. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, and there is a separate toilet downstairs. Two living rooms each have a TV and DVD player, and the kitchen has a dishwasher, washing machine and freezer. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included. A cot and highchair are provided.

Outside is an enclosed courtyard with garden furniture and a barbecue. Private parking takes 2 cars, with more space on the road. 1 pet is welcome.

Crantock Beach is about 0.6 miles away, a wide sandy bay with dunes bordered by the River Gannel estuary, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village shop is half a mile away and the pub a third of a mile. Newquay is 3 miles off and Watergate Bay 5 miles. More on the village is in the Crantock guide.

Best for families and groups of friends who want a village base within walking distance of the beach, and for owners with one dog. Less good for anyone wanting a large lawn, as the garden is a courtyard, and for guests who want two full bathrooms, as the second is an en-suite shower.
