The Orchard

A 4-bedroom house in Crantock village, sleeping 9 with 3 bathrooms and an accessible ground floor. The Orchard is one of the larger properties in this quiet village 2 miles southwest of Newquay, with 64 reviews recorded against the listing - a well-established track record for a property of this size.

The house has a hot tub, BBQ, enclosed garden, dishwasher, washing machine, and Wi-Fi. The accessible ground floor means it works for groups with mixed mobility needs. Parking is included. No dogs are accepted. Friday changeover.

Crantock Beach is 0.6 miles downhill from the village - a broad National Trust beach backed by dunes with seasonal lifeguard cover. Fistral Beach, Newquay's main surf beach and venue for national competitions, is about 1 mile north via the Gannel crossing or a short drive round. At low tide you can wade across the Gannel Estuary to reach Newquay directly; at high tide the road route takes about 10 minutes. The village has the Old Albion pub and a small shop. Newquay Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium, and the town's restaurants are all within a short drive across the estuary.

Best for larger families or two families sharing who want a village base close to two surf beaches and easy Newquay access. Less suitable for those wanting complete quiet in summer - Crantock is popular and the car park behind the dunes fills early.
