The property benefits from an off-road parking space, and a lovely, rear enclosed garden with bubbling hot tub, gazebo, barbecue and furniture, ideal for indulging in a spot of alfresco dining, followed by a dip!

Explore the village, where you can stock up on essentials at the convenience store, treat your loved ones to a meal at Jam Jar Kitchen, The Cornishman, and the Old Albion Inn, take the little ones to the nearby children’s play park, embark on a hike along the South West Coast Path, or treat your pooches to a day on the dog-friendly sands of Crantock Beach.
Next stop is the bustling town of Newquay, where you can try your hand at watersports on The Gannel Estuary, visit the family-friendly attractions of Pirate’s Quest Adventure Golf, Blue Reef Aquarium, Newquay Zoo and Fistral Beach, learn to surf, or dine at Graze Tapas Wine Bar and The Harbour Fish and Grill.

The house was presented beautifully on arrival and both looked and smelled spotlessly clean.
In general the property was completely faultless from the extremely thoughtful welcome hamper (the scones were amazing!), the quality/ amount of teas and coffees, to the quality of the appliances, kitchenware etc. This was our second stay at Driftwood and we will absolutely be back for a third.
Nice property but over priced Entered the property to find no one had been in to clean it at 4.
00 Two ladies arrived at 4.15 to clean and arrange bedding/ towels finally got into the property 5.10 Nice goody box left with scones/cream a bottle of Prosecco and a box of chocolates. It was well maintained and a good selection of kitchen equipment.
Hello Tracey, we’re pleased you found Driftwood well maintained, as we take great care to keep the house comfortable and welcoming for our guests. We’re sorry that the property was ready an hour later than planned and appreciate the inconvenience this caused at the start of your holiday. Unfortunately, our housekeeper’s car broke down unexpectedly. Alternative cleaning cover was arranged, but this meant the clean took place later in the day. Our housekeeping team ensured they left an enhanced welcome gift as a gesture of apology, which we are delighted you enjoyed. We take great care to price Driftwood competitively against similar homes, with similar facilities, in and around Crantock and we are sorry you did not think it offered you value for money. We are pleased, however, to welcome many returning guests each year who love staying at Driftwood. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Kind regards, Jo.
Driftwood - WOW!
We had the most amazing 2 weeks staying in this gorgeous house and have just booked to go back again next summer. 10/10 for cleanliness and the owners have gone above and beyond to ensure you have a everything you need for a relaxing and stress free stay. The hot tub was maintained and checked every few days and there was also the option of having a mid-stay clean as we were staying for 2 weeks. We’ve been to Crantock many times before and this house has undoubtedly been the best yet. Can’t wait to return next year!
Hi Lucinda, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so delighted that you enjoyed your two weeks at Driftwood and found everything you needed for a relaxing stay. Hearing that it’s the best house you’ve stayed in during your many visits to Crantock means such a lot to us :0). We’re really pleased you’ve already booked to come back next summer and look forward to welcoming you back to Driftwood for another lovely holiday. Kind regards, Jo.
The property was very clean, well maintained, and had excellent facilities.
The only problem for me, as a back sufferer, was that the bed was too soft. However, this is not a major issue and certainly won’t stop me from returning. It also stated at the time of booking that a welcome pack was included, but we did not receive this.
Hello Kevin, Thank you very much for your feedback and for already enquiring about re-booking with us. We're delighted to hear that you found the property clean, well maintained, and that you enjoyed the facilities. It's wonderful to know that the softer bed wouldn't stop you from returning and we'd be very pleased to welcome you back. Thank you also for mentioning the welcome pack. We apologise that this wasn't provided during your stay. This was an oversight on our part, and we'll make sure it's addressed so future guests receive everything they're expecting. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and look forward to hosting you again in the future. Kind regards, Jo.
Our second visit to Driftwood was just as wonderful as the first.
The property was spotless, modern, and equipped with absolutely everything needed for a comfortable week-long stay — the kitchen was especially well stocked. It’s also incredibly child-friendly, with stair gates, a cot, and a high chair all available. The secure and beautifully maintained garden was perfect for our Labrador, who had the best time and honestly didn’t want to come home! The hot tub was clean, well maintained, and checked during our stay, and we loved relaxing in it every evening. Jo was incredibly organised and provided all the information we needed well in advance of our arrival. Thank you for the welcome gifts and all the thoughtful touches — the chocolates, luxury soaps on the towels, and robes for after the hot tub made the stay feel extra special. Crantock Beach is only a 10–12 minute walk away, where you’ll find a lovely coffee shop and surf hire. We also visited both village pubs, the local shop, and Jam Jar Kitchen, which serves the best pizza ever — all within easy walking distance. We’ll definitely be booking again soon. Thank you Jo ! 5 stars
Hello Rosie! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to welcome you back to Driftwood, and we're so pleased to hear that your second stay was just as enjoyable as your first :0). Your lovely words really mean a lot. We take great pride in making Driftwood a comfortable and relaxing home from home, so it's lovely to know you appreciated the little touches, from the welcome gifts and robes to the well-equipped kitchen and family-friendly facilities. We're especially happy to hear that your Labrador enjoyed the secure garden so much – it sounds like they had the perfect holiday too!
Our two week stay at Driftwood was fantastic.
The accommodation was really lovely and clean and couldn't have wished for any more. The location of the property is perfect a 10 min walk to the beautiful beach of Crantock and the Albion inn and the Jam Jar were really good. We also walked to the bowgie Inn which has the beast views. We would totally recommend driftwood 5 stars
Hi Lorraine, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to host you for your two-week stay at Driftwood, and we're delighted to hear you had such a fantastic break. We're so pleased that you found Driftwood clean, comfortable and well-equipped, and that the location allowed you to make the most of everything Crantock has to offer. It sounds as though you enjoyed some of our favourite local spots too – the beach, the Albion Inn, Jam Jar, and of course the Bowgie Inn with its incredible views. Thank you for recommending Driftwood and for your 5-star review. It really does mean so much to us. Kind regards, Jo.
We had a fantastic stay at Driftwood, the property is beautiful and has everything you will need.
The house was clean, well equipped and the hot tub is a nice luxury! Also in a great location, we loved the old Albion pub in the village, the food there is amazing. Would definitely recommend staying at Driftwood!!
Hi Keely, Thank you so much for your great feedback and I am delighted you had a wonderful stay at Driftwood - and recommending us! You are right, Crantock has so much to offer no matter the time of year - lots of access to gorgeous beaches on the North Cornish coast, wonderful countryside and pubs & restaurants on your door step. Kind regards, Jo.
Driftwood turned out to be a great choice for our September visit to Crantock.
Lovely house very well presented, fresh and clean. The house is well stocked with kitchen items for all our needs. Top quality linen and bath sheets that are actually big enough. Also a nice added touch of bathrobes for use after the lovely hot tub which we made plenty use of. A great stay. Would highly recommend
Hi Barbara, we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Driftwood and found the house welcoming and spotless. We love adding those little touches—like the quality linen, robes, and towels—to bring a bit of luxury to your holiday. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for recommending Driftwood. Kind regards. Jo.
This holiday accommodation had everything.
My wife remarked that all other accommodations in the future will surely be spoilt for her now she has stayed somewhere so comfortable! The beds and bedding were divinely comfortable. The master bed felt very grand and like a special treat! Showers were brilliant, kitchen was well resourced and living room was very comfortable. Everything was well put together and felt very modern and stylish. Chocolates and soap on the bed, starter pack of dishwasher tablets and dish soap, hot tub serviced pre and mid stay, and the most delicious scones in the fridge on arrival. We felt very welcome and that everything had been thought of. We did feel very conscious of the next door neighbours when using the outside areas who were locals and who we didn’t want to disturb with early morning/late evening hot tubbing - but the pay off for being in a quiet area and not being disturbed by other holiday goers ourselves was a fair compromise! The location is just wonderful - we can’t get enough of Crantock and its wonderful beach. We ate at the Old Albion, the Jam Jar, the Bowgie and the Off Beat Bar, enjoyed warm pastries from the village shop and ice creams from Flotsam on the beach. We ran the mile to the Bowgie in the mornings (to run off all that food!) and marvelled at the view. We would happily return to this accommodation - it was the icing on the cake of a wonderful family break!
Hi Mike, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed Driftwood’s little touches of comfort and luxury—it’s exactly what we hope makes a holiday feel extra special. Kind regards. Jo.
Lovely location and house with everything we needed.
Thank you for being a great host, we had a wonderful stay.
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay Jo. We agree that the location of Driftwood is perfect. Not too far from Crantock beach (definitely one of the best beach in Cornwall), a short walk to two pubs and cafes and the village shop. And you can reach the southwest coastal path very easily too. Kind regards, Jo.
We’ve stayed at Driftwood twice now and it never disappoints.
The house is always spotless, welcoming and has everything you could need - a home from home. It’s perfectly located for the beach. Joanna is a fantastic host – thoughtful, responsive and always a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely return.
We are so pleased you had a fantastic stay once again Vicki, and that Driftwood was just as nice the second time around. Crantock is definitely a special place to stay and it’s nice to know that you feel at home in Driftwood; we’ve tried hard to make it as comfortable as possible. We look forward to welcoming you back in the not too distant future. Kind regards. Jo.
Great accommodation, perfect location we were very happy here.
We are so pleased you had a fab stay in Driftwood Sharon, and that the location was perfect for you - it is easy walking distance to two pubs, the local shop and a cafe, and of course the beautiful Crantock beach. Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback. Kind regards, Jo.
We booked Driftwood for a family holiday to celebrate my husbands birthday.
Just before we went I received an email from the owner recommending local places to eat etc - all of which we tried and were fabulous. Driftwood had everything we needed. Extremely comfortable, well furnished and the kitcehn was fully stocked with everything you need. Lovely welcome tray of treats. Everything has been thought of down to a BBQ, windbreak and beach toys in the garage. Perfect location as only a 1km walk to Crantock beach and an easy drive to other places. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.
Hi Jo, thank you for booking Driftwood for your special celebration and we are delighted that you all had a fantastic time. We're glad you were able to make the most of the beach items that are available for guests' use and made the most of the outdoor garden by using the barbie. We have tried to think of most things to make it a 'home-from-home' experience, where possible. And, we are delighted you were able to experience many of the local cafes and restaurants - we are spoilt for choice in a small village, with many within easy walking distance of Driftwood. We would love to welcome you back in the future :0) . Kind regards, Jo.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Driftwood, perfect location.
The house was extremely clean and was very well equipped, bed were very comfortable. Close distance to 2 wonderful pubs and the local Londis had everything you needed. It’s hard to find much fault with the property.
Hi Ellie, thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback and we are delighted to had a wonderful time in Crantock, and that Driftwood made a perfect base for your holiday. I agree with you, the pubs really are wonderful, family and dog friendly and serving good food - with both positioned right in the heart of the village a few minutes' walk from Driftwood. Kind regards, Jo.
We had a fantastic time at Driftwood - perfect location 10-12 minutes to Crantock beach when you can find a coffee shop, surf hire & scoop ice cream.
The village has two pubs, a shop & Jam Jar cafe/restaurant (best pizza ever) all within walking distance. Driftwood was super clean & had everything you needed for a week’s stay. The garden is well maintained & the hot tub was a great addition. Bonus being dog friendly, our Labrador had the best time - he actually didn’t want to come home. Thank you also for the welcome gifts on arrival, made us feel very welcome. We have already booked for next year. See you soon
Hi Rosie, It is wonderful to hear you had a great stay in Driftwood and enjoyed everything Crantock offers - and yes, the pizzas from the Jam Jar are delicious :0). We very much look forward to welcoming you all back for your next visit - and your dog to live their best life once again! Kind regards, Jo.
My favourite place in the country to stay & lovely property to stop in excellent location in the village .
Spotlessly clean light & airier house with everything we needed for our stay.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, Paul, on Driftwood and Crantock. We agree, the village and all it offers is wonderful - a fabulous beach, walks, cafes, pubs - and so much more. And, we are pleased that the house had everything you needed for a wonderful stay and in the right location too.
We found driftwood to be clean, comfortable and very well equipped especially the kitchen, it was the best equipped kitchen in any holiday rental we have stayed.
For us the location is perfect with 2 pubs, shop and cafe all within a few minutes walk, beach 10/15 min and further beaches and restaurants a few minutes drive or 20/30 min walk. Would I recommend, absolutely, would we go again, definitely.

Crantock is perfectly positioned and we agree, it has a wonderful range of places to walk to in the picturesque village, as well as further afield. And, thank you for booking again - we look forward to welcoming you back shortly :0). Kind regards. Jo.
We have just returned from a fantastic week at Driftwood.
The house was exactly as it looks in the photos. It was very clean, the beds were very comfy and the kitchen has everything you need. We enjoyed the hot tub and this was cleaned before we arrived and also part way through our stay. It is in an ideal location we visited many of the local beaches, and towns such as St Ives, Mawgan Porth, Newquay. Driftwood is the perfect base for a family holiday and we would definitely return.
Hello Richard, thank you so much for your feedback - we are delighted you had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed Driftwood. We took time choosing the beds to make sure they are as comfortable (hopefully!) as those you would have at home. The hot tub is lovely to use at any time of the day and as you mention, is emptied and cleaned before every new guest and checked half way through your stay. Crantock is a wonderful place to be based and as you point out, is well located to reach many places in Cornwall. We would love to welcome you back to Driftwood in the future :0). Kind regards, Jo.
We had a great stay at the property.
It is beautifully decorated & very comfortable inside with a great garden and the hot tub is a great addition! The house has everything you might need in the kitchen etc. it is in a perfect location, just a short walk to the pubs in crantock village & the beach also. All communication was answered promptly. We will definitely be back next year!
Hi Victoria, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Crantock and that Driftwood lived up to your expectations! We have tried really hard to think of what most guests would like in their holiday home and each year, we add more to that list. Driftwood is perfectly positioned to make the most of the stunning beaches and coastline no matter the time of year or weather, and Crantock offers two friendly pubs and a local shop all within walking distance. And finally, thank you for re-booking for next year - we can't wait to welcome you back :0). Kind regards, Jo.
The house was immaculate however the garden was overgrown in particular the grass which was very long and the shrubs in the front garden
We’re delighted the house was welcoming and clean for you and we hope you had a lovely time in Crantock. We are in the process of a new gardener taking over the maintenance of the garden and apologise for any inconvenience the overgrown grass may have caused; we know it can be annoying. Kind regards, Jo.
This is a stunning accommodation in a perfect location.
The house is beautifully decorated, with everything we could possibly need to make our stay so comfortable. The owner has thought of everything, with a well stocked kitchen, lots of household appliances & a very clean outside area. The hot tub was great to get into at the end of a fun packed day and then relax in the fluffy robes. We will definitely return.
We are so pleased you had a wonderful family holiday Victoria. And thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are always adding things to Driftwood to continue to make it more comfortable for guests. We try and ensure we have lots of crockery, drinking glasses, pots, pans, a decent frying pan and knives that cut!! Plus other little things to make our guests' stay as comfortable as possible. We look forward to you returning in the near future. Kind regards Jo.

Hi Laura, we are so pleased you had a great time! Crantock is a perfect location (we are biased tho ;0)) - no matter the time of year, it has something to offer most people. We invested in our beds as we know it is so important to have a good night sleep when away from home. We'd love to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards Jo.
The house was in a good position , a 10/15 minute walk to the beach , 2 great pubs .
The owner was really helpful and responded to messages straight away .The hot tub was cleaned mid week and there was everything we needed at the house ..would highly recommend x
Thanks Karen for your feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and made the most of the house - we've tried hard to make sure we have provided most of what you may need when staying in Driftwood. The water in the hot tub is changed for every new booking and checked mid week as you mentioned. I'm hoping you made the most of it! Thank you for recommending Driftwood. Kind regards, Jo
The house was absolutely gorgeous with amenities of such a high level, we really enjoyed our stay and the house was in a great area too, short walk to the beach, shop and local pubs.
Our girls enjoyed the hot tub alot also. One slight issue was the curtains in the bedrooms could be blackout as during summer time was very light early morning. Thankyou for a fabulous stay, we will definitely stay again if back in the area.
Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback; we really appreciate it and so pleased you had a fabulous stay with your family. Thanks for the suggestion on the curtains, this is definitely something we will look to do, in addition to the blinds that are in place already. And we would love to welcome you back :0). Kind regards, Jo.
A lovely property that was very clean throughout and has everything you need for your stay.
Plenty of kitchen equipment & crockery. Comfy lounge area. The outside space was very clean and a lovely sunny spot. Hot tub was great. Highly recommended and hope to return.
It is so nice to know you enjoyed Driftwood and Crantock and that we offer everything you would want for a self catering holiday in wonderful Cornwall. We have tried hard to think of most things you would want to make it a 'home from home' stay. We would love to welcome you back again in the future. Crantock is absolutely a beautiful location. Kind regards, Jo.
A really comfortable house in a perfect location.
Loved being able to walk to the coast path and beach and location is very central for exploring north and south of Crantock. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is really well stocked with several sets of plates, mugs, glasses etc. A good sized parking space and a very welcome hot tub to enjoy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend this property.
We are so pleased you had a fabulous time in Crantock and Driftwood and that the house had everything you needed and more. We'd love to welcome you back in the future to explore more of what North Cornwall has to offer - no matter the time of year or weather! Kind regards, Jo.
We had a fabulous stay at Driftwood, a beautiful house in a fabulous location.
The house is decorated and furnished to a high standard and we wanted for nothing, everything has been thought of and the welcome pack was lovely. Crantock village is few minutes walk away with a great local shop/post office and two fab dog friendly pubs that both do great food. We would highly recommend Driftwood and we will definitely be returning.
Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. We are delighted you had a fabulous stay and enjoyed Driftwood and beautiful Crantock. We look forward to welcoming you back in the not too distant future. Kind regards, Jo.
Amazing location, 10 minute walk to Crantock Beach.
House is decorated lovely and has everything you could need and more. Only issue I’ve had is getting some clothing items back that were left behind in error. It’s been over three weeks since I notified the property management company immediately after our arrival home, constant chasing, voicemails left and I have still not received a phone call or email with the tracking information or the items back. Very disappointing after a lovely week and difficult to keep chasing when you have a newborn baby. If someone could please contact me regarding this it would be appreciated.
We are delighted you enjoyed Driftwood; we’ve tried hard to make sure it has everything most guests and families would like when on holiday. Crantock is a wonderful hidden gem with a lovely village and fantastic beach and we would love to welcome you back in the future. I can only apologise for our housekeeper not getting back to you sooner. I do know there was some confusion on the timescales of returning the items to you that were left behind. Our housekeeper washed and dried your items again and popped them in the post back to you. Please be assured that this is not typical and our housekeeping team always try and go out of their way to assist guests.
