Blacksmiths Cottage

Great apart from there is a nail sticking out of the threshold board to the master bedroom and we had no anti bacterial spray

Beautiful cottage we all loved every minute of it amazing location the cottage is just a 10 minute walk to the pubs and beach.

Crantock it self is a stunning little village with the cornishman and old albion pubs and the jam jar cafe during the day and then turning into the pizza restaurant in the evening all amazing a special thanks to Tracy for making sure the cottage was clean and ready for us when we arrived

Lovely cosy cottage, exactly as described, would definitely stay again.

Lovely village setting with everything in reach.

A lovely property, well-equipped and comfortable.

The bedrooms are a good size, the beds are comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed and the welcome book had lots of handy information. It's always appreciated when there are a couple of dishwasher tablets and laundry pods - small things but just the things it's easy to forget to pack. The welcome biscuits and prosecco made a nice start to our visit, too! The warm outside shower was great for dealing with sandy feet (and paws!) and the enclosed garden was a nice sun trap. The only minor frustration was the lack of a tumble dryer. We had warm weather but it was very humid making it difficult to get clothes and beach towels dry. We appreciate the owners can't control the weather but maybe a washer-dryer could be considered when it comes time to replace the washing machine. Crantock is great with two very nice, friendly pubs with good food, a restaurant/cafe and a useful small shop with post office. The beach is within walking distance although you may want to take the car or a trolley if you have a lot of beach gear as it's quite a steep hill! There's a handy cafe on the beach and one in the car park. The beach is very nice - dog friendly and good for swimming/boarding. We would definitely book Blacksmith's again, - thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village, moments from one of the best dog friendly beaches in Cornwall.

Very nice cottage home from home ,good location in my favourite village in Cornwall

Another Easter spent at this lovely cottage.

Everything we want as a family and more! Enjoyed the welcome pack. The cottage was lovely, comfortable and clean.

We love Crantock and would stay at Blacksmiths cottage again if visiting the area.

Had a another lovely stay in Blacksmiths cottage (our second) Very comfortable and warm, well equipped, very clean.

Village very pleasant, locals very welcoming, both pubs very friendly and both serve lovely food. Local shop is so handy and has every thing you could need. Beautiful beach, great walks with our dogs. We will be back next year. Thanks Tracey

An excellent location and cottage was spacious for 2 adults and 2 teens plus a dog!

! Comfortable and cosy. Great meals at the two local pubs and lots of lovely wind swept beaches (perfect for February!!)

We had a lovely stay over Christmas.

We really appreciated the festive touches and the bottle of wine! We found the cottage cosy, comfortable and in the perfect location. I was a bit worried we would be cold without central heating but found the heaters to work well and the wood burner was great. We needed to use the hot water boost but once discovered, plenty of hot water. The outside shower was perfect for post surf rinse off/ warm ups! Many thanks for a great stay.

I am sorry but whilst this cottage location is fantastic I do not agree with the 5 star reviews.

The property is in need of serious TLC and looks very worn, warped kitchen floor, new pans needed as inside very scratched. Upstairs carpet was filthy, I cleaned out so much gunk from the hoover head and was then finally able to hoover the carpet. Most disappointing for us was that listing says it has a superking bed, it does not, the zip bed is just a kingsize. It also does not detail on the listing that dogs aren't allowed upstairs. This and the bed size would have meant we never would have booked this property

We had the most amazing week at blacksmiths cottage, we arrived to a beautifully clean and very welcoming cottage, we decided to stay on the ground floor as it was more convenient for us having a dog with us, the cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed and some things we didn’t expect, the village was lovely and everyone was so welcoming we did our shopping at the local shop which carried a huge range and was open from early in the morning to 8 pm , such a lovely walk to the beach ( bit of a climb coming back ) both pubs were really good and delicious coffee and cinnamon buns at the beach , we did drive to beach sometime s and as national trust members parking was free, Tracey was lovely and really helpful when I contacted her before and during our visit.

Just one thing to mention if you are taking a dog the courtyard is lovely and warm shower very useful but no grass area for wee before bed , this was not a problem for us as there are couple of areas just over road , we loved our time there and hope to be back soon. Thank you Tracey you were wonderful. X

A comfortable and homely cottage in a beautiful location.

We highly recommend Blacksmith cottage for anyone who enjoys coastal walks in a quiet village location. The cottage is well equipped with adequate space for our adult family members to relax and enjoy. The outside space was perfect for our two small dogs. The village pubs are welcoming and offer a great menu. We are already planning our return trip next year.

Black Smith was lovely, Everything you could possibly need , we were even offered clean linen and towels at the end of our first week which I think is the first time ever , the only thing on a negative was the outside garden just needs a little TLC looking very tired although the weather wasn’t good it was nice to be able to sit out when it was .

Lovely cottage and have had many visits.

Already booked for next year.

Perfect location for those wanting to enjoy Crantock Village and its amazing beach.

Children’s park within metres of the village hall. As well as enjoying food from the Old Albion, Jam Jar and making use of the local shop, we ordered a Chinese take away from Newquay for delivery which came in impressive time. Old fashioned cottage with bags of local history - clearly been upgraded for comfort without losing its charm. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and living area. Lovely shower in the en suite - although hot water had run out for the third person’s shower on our first evening. Subsequently found the boost button for hot water and didn’t have any further issues. Warm water outside shower was a massive win for washing off after a day on the beach. And we made good use of the washing line and Cornish sunshine! We didn’t use the garden room but it looked cosy. Communication with property manager was straightforward and responses were quick - although we weren’t sure exactly where to search for the key safe (got there in the end!).

Nice property in a good location.

Comfortable stay in a well equipped cottage

We had a lovely holiday staying in blacksmith cottage it was a lovely cottage and we would definitely stay again

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Was spotlessly clean and well equipped. We were 5 adults plus dogs and there was plenty of room for us all as well as parking for our 3 cars. Would definitely recommend.

Our second visit to the Blacksmiths cosy and comfortable cottage.

It was a fantastic family getaway. A great space for our whole family. The place is beautifully clean and well equipped. Enjoyed the log burner on rainy days and got out to the beach when the sun shone.

We had a wonderful cosy weeks stay in Blacksmiths Cottage, warm and very well equipped.

There are 2 good pubs that are dog friendly and serve good food and beer, and a small shop that had everything you would need. Very enjoyable will definitely be retuning.

Lovely little cottage with everything needed.

Housekeeper very helpful too. Would certainly use this again if we stay in Crantock again.

Has such a brilliant time on our winter stay in cornwall, this is the second time we have stayed at Blacksmiths cottage and yet again it was perfect!

!

Lovely cottage with very short walk to village with two pubs and a shop and a bus stop outside.

There is also a coffee shop but not open in November. The cottage was comfortable and very quiet and we were grateful for the milk left for us. It did take me two days to locate the hairdryer which was in a box in the downstairs wardrobe hidden behind the clothes dryer maybe a drawer would be a better option.

Big thank you to the housekeeper - the property was spotless.

There was an issue with the cistern leaking in the en-suite shower room. I sent a text at 8.30 a.m. and by the time we returned in the afternoon it had been sorted - excellent response and service. Would have appreciated a starter pack of logs for the wood-burner. As the weather was not brilliant we did not use the outside facilities, but they all looked good. Could imagine spending relaxing evenings on the terrace seating. Excellent location - you can park up and walk everywhere in Crantock and along the coast path. Also good bus service to Newquay and Truro.

My son and daughter in law thought the bed upstairs was uncomfortable but appreciate it is difficult to please everyone.

It's in a great location and we had a lovely holiday

The cottage was beautiful and we loved staying here.

Great location for the beach and walking. Car not really needed unless you want to go further afield but we even took the boat to Newquay and back by bus! Cottage had everything we needed and was very well stocked. Excellent for dogs and were grateful of the stair gate to keep ours downstairs. Great nearby shop and also neighbour’s honesty box supplies of salad and jams and eggs very welcome. Only made an error with the recycling bags; our rubbish was not taken away as we didn’t sort it specifically even though the bags were labelled as mixed recycling.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Enjoyed the log burner on the blustery days, after a walk on the beach. Perfect family getaway included our four legged friend.

Loved our stay at Blacksmiths cottage in Crantock.

Cosy and comfortable with everything we needed.

Lovely cottage with everything you need especially for a winter break.

The only criticism would be the poor WiFi, we have stayed in crantock many times and this was very poor as we only managed to log in briefly once. Thankfully we have unlimited WiFi via our phones. This also made the tv experience frustrating as we could only get Netflix to work on the tv. You need to update the house managers number as it is disconnected.

Second stay at this idyllic character cottage in a great location.

Two great pubs, a shop and a great beach within walking distance. Also on a bus route and lots of great walking opportunities. Feels like home from home.
