“So much about this holiday home is excellent.”

The hot outside shower is absolutely fantastic. We would have liked a tumble dryer given the nature of this holiday (beach surfing British weather ) even if there was an extra meter coin charge there is a outside line not that helpful in the British climate !! I felt uneasy draping wet towels etc around the home , this was not appropriate we could not find an airer! If there was one I am sorry we could not locate one , our only issue but a significant one if you are faced with 7 peoples wet ...

“We had a lovely week in Crantock.”

The area is fabulous. The house, overall was OK, but could definitely be improved. The location is incredibly noisy. So much road noise throughout the day and night. No ventilation other than the windows, so the choices were to either melt in a heap or have the road noise. Fans in the bedrooms would be a very good addition. The main bathroom wasn't great. Four of us sharing this and there was nowhere to keep toiletries as there were no cupboards or shelves. Window sill was very crowded. Also, the shower cubicle was very small and again nowhere to put shampoo etc. The outside area was disappointing and photo misleading. No garden, just a yard. We would definitely return to Crantock, but not Carpe Diem.

An easily accessible house in the middle of the village, in Cornwall, in August will always be noisier than renting in May miles away from any shops or the beach. Our guests were extremely fortunate to have had such incredibly hot weather and even though we have never needed fans since renting our property, we would have been happy to assist with a delivery of fans. Access to the beach and the cooling coast, is minutes away. There are 3 bathrooms / shower rooms; access to all 3 for a maximum of 8 in a group is a matter of choice. All are beautifully equipped. The photographs of the garden were taken before we paid for a Garden Designer to update our large outside area with designer troughs, a summer house for storing beach and walking equipment and a low level picket fence for the safety of individuals and pets whilst holidaying with us. Our area also includes wrought iron tables and chairs and BBQ unit and an external shower unit. We are saddened to hear that you will not be returning to stay with us as many our many lovely regular returners do. As hosts we are always accessible to accommodating our guests needs and if there is anything that our Manager cannot arrange, they only need contact us directly and we will happily assist.

“We found the property clean, warm and with everything we needed for our short break.”

8 of us stayed and we all enjoyed the space and position the house was from the beach. Every morning we walked the dogs down to the beach and returned past the village shop which baked fresh pasterie such a pan- o chocolate , Cinnamon rolls and cousants. Lovely after a brush walk on a sunny and frosty beach. Excellent property and we all said we would visit again if we had the opportunity.

“Top rated accommodation, close to a brilliant beach , a little noisy being close to the road”

Carpe Diem provides first class accommodation in a spacious , very clean modern home. 5 of us were easily provided for in the open plan lounge / kitchen, even the "children's" bedrooms were a decent size and it is in an ideal spot to visit the surrounding areas. We were initially attracted to this site by the " 5 minute" walk to the beach which is a little optimistic as the other review has mentioned. It certainly turns into a 15 minute crawl back up the quite steep hill after a tiring day. With all your beach stuff - boards, wind breakers etc.. and elderly family members or very small children you may finds you still need to take the car down the narrow lane onto the National Trust car park (which fills up fast at peak times) to save yourself such a trek. However the beach is absolutely splendid and well worth a little extra cost. Being right on a junction I did think it was noisy at times however only 2 or 3 people out of 30/40 expressed the same in the review book so maybe we are just used to a little less traffic in general. Overall Crantock is a splendid holiday location

“Lovely break in Crantock!”

Our stay in Carpe Diem was lovely. I visited with my fiancé, mum, dad, sister and dog. The cottage is well presented, clean and beautifully decorated throughout. They accept dogs and the garden is large and secure. The location is perfect! A 5 minute walk into the village centre and a 10-15 minute walk from the beach. Also a brilliant location to drive to other areas of cornwall as you're not too far from anywhere. Only a 10 minute drive from Newquay. Crantock beach is stunning! Would recommend this lovely rental for any families wanting a relaxing break in beautiful Cornwall.

About the location

CRANTOCK

Newquay 4.5 miles.

Crantock is a small Cornish village, just a short walk from the beach, close to the popular resort of Newquay. If you want to escape the crowds, yet still be close to the action, this is the place to be. There's stunning countryside all around and lots of pretty villages to explore; however, it is the coast that dominates. Enjoy superb walks along the coastal path over dramatic cliff-tops, or magnificent surfing on beaches stretching from Watergate Bay in the North to Fistral beach in the centre of Newquay and on down the coast. There are a number of golf courses in the area, as well as National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, plus attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.
