    “A lovely cottage overall which is up the hill from the beach, and close to the pubs / pizzeria in Crantock.”

    Parking was fine for our large estate car directly in front of the cottage. We had a lovely relaxed stay as a family of 4 with older teenagers and a small dog and would return to Crantock. We did feel overall though that the cottage itself was in need of a bit of TLC as it looked a bit tired in places - such as the carpet at the top of the stairs. The pillow and mattress protectors could do with replacing as they did have some stains on them which too which we only discovered when stripping ...

    Parking was fine for our large estate car directly in front of the cottage. We had a lovely relaxed stay as a family of 4 with older teenagers and a small dog and would return to Crantock. We did feel overall though that the cottage itself was in need of a bit of TLC as it looked a bit tired in places - such as the carpet at the top of the stairs. The pillow and mattress protectors could do with replacing as they did have some stains on them which too which we only discovered when stripping the beds at the end of our stay. We also felt that the garden area needed some attention as there were lots of leaves that had been there for some time on and around the garden furniture and there were lots of dead plants in various pots dotted around so consequently we didn’t really sit out - although we had good weather. Kitchen items could also do with some restocking. More wine glasses are needed as there were 3 plastics picnic ones (not that pleasant to drink from) and only one glass one. The DVDs, although plentiful, were rather out of date so none were watched. The sink in the bathroom off the main bedroom had a slow draining plughole so this filled up quickly when brushing teeth. We also took delivery of 3 Amazon parcels while we were there along with a builder coming over to quote for removing the shed - which didn’t seem quite right somehow while we were there as holiday makers although we were asked if it would be ok. The Prosecco and shortbread were a nice welcome and despite all the things mentioned, overall we had a good stay at Blacksmiths Cottage.

    Thanks for your feedback, we note your particular concerns and will work to rectify them. We are sorry you found the cottage not up to standard. It really helps if breakages and issues are reported when they happen to our great housekeeping team, as they get fixed straightaway, which hasn’t happened with the glasses and the plug, for example. Apologies for this. Thank you for accommodating the builder, who made a visit regarding the shed with permission. The Amazon parcels were not for us, if you can please let us know who they were for, we can contact neighbours and request this does not happen. Thanks again for staying at our cottage.

The property

Blacksmith’s Cottage is a traditional, Cornish-built cottage at the top end of the pretty village of Crantock, opposite Crantock View.

This property was the original Blacksmith’s cottage and dates back to the 1730s, situated in a great location with plenty of parking, the interior design is a modern and light decor, giving the rooms a warm and welcoming feeling throughout.

Inside you will find three well-presented bedrooms: a king-size resting on the ground floor and perfect for those with limited mobility, whilst the first floor provides an extra king-size and a twin with zip and link features so it can be made into a super king-size upon request.

The family bathroom has an elegant bath and shower over, so you can decide how best to prepare for your day.

The ground floor boasts a wonderful open-plan kitchen/diner, with contemporary appliances, so you can easily rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal for the whole family and plenty of seating to enjoy your meals and some quality family time together.

The sitting room is the perfect spot to relax and unwind on the provided sofas, and delight in the Smart TV to keep you entertained.

Outside, there is a south-facing garden to the rear which is on two levels with stone steps linking them.

The higher level has outside rattan corner seating and a fabulous setting with lush tropical planting and lighting.

There is an outside dining area with picnic table and chairs, with the top level being a real sun-trap.

Blacksmith’s Cottage will appeal to those who like to be within walking distance of Crantock village’s facilities, as well as being just a short drive from all of Cornwall’s sporting, leisure and other attractions.

Crantock beach is just a ten minute walk from the property, making it an excellent spot for surfers and beach lovers.

Travel into the thriving seaside town of Newquay for a plethora of attractions, including the popular Newquay beach, where you and your little ones can explore the grounds and visit the animals.

Visit the Tranance Gardens for some scenic walking, whilst the nearby rivers and lakes provide excellent opportunities for you to get involved with a variety of watersporting activities.

Newquay also provides some museums and art galleries for a spot of culture during your trip.

Return to Blacksmith's Cottage for a remote break to the heart of 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.
