The Old Village Chapel

The Old Village Chapel is a converted stone chapel turned holiday cottage in Crantock village, sleeping 6 across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The woodburning stove is the focal point of the living room, and the three bedrooms and the family bathroom are on the ground floor, with the open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area upstairs. A separate shower room is reached from the garden. Outside there is a private decked balcony and an astroturfed garden. Saturday changeover is standard.

The chapel sits on West Pentire Road, about 0.4 miles from Crantock Beach - a wide, dune-backed bay that is far quieter than the Newquay beaches a few miles north. The village has a pub, a National Trust tea room, and a small shop within a few minutes' walk. Porth Joke, an unspoilt cove without a car park, is reachable on foot along the South West Coast Path in under 30 minutes.

This property is best for families or groups of 6 who want a character conversion within easy reach of surf and sand, without the crowds of central Newquay. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Wifi and parking are included, and one well-behaved dog is welcome.

Crantock has one of the most reliable family-friendly beaches on the north coast - the River Gannel runs behind it and is safe for paddling at low tide. Newquay town centre is under 4 miles away.
