“Damp smell in lower kitchen cupboards unpleasant otherwise, meticulous throughout.”

Would have liked a couple of foot stools Overall well done

“Keelyn is in a lovely location.”

Close to the beach, shops and local pubs. The property is comfortable and well equipped with a good secure garden and off street parking. We had a problem with the television in the lounge for the first 3 days of our stay which wasn’t ideal but Tracey the property manager was very helpful and kept us updated and finally supplied us with a new one which worked well for the rest of our stay.

“We enjoyed our second visit to Keelyn.”

Beds are very comfortable linen is impeccable, great shower but bathroom sink drains very slowly, kitchen facilities are good, although we take a cafetiere as there isn't one in Keelyn. Tracy does a brilliant job of making sure the property is spotless for our arrival. The cream tea left for us was very nice too. The enclosed garden is good for dogs. Looking forward to our next visit.

“We loved our time at Keelyn and are considering booking again.”

The only drawback was the noisy banging from the building work next door which started early and went on all day.

- Joanna, August 2024
Rachel August 2024

“The cottage was perfect in terms of both location and amenities.”

Luxury interior and comfortable super king size beds. Plenty of space for everything from food to clothes to toys for the little one. Shower and bathroom facilities were excellent. Unlike some other holiday homes there were plenty of cutlery, crockery and plates. They also made the 10/10 factor by adding little touches such as a cream tea, jam and tea and coffee available. Garden is large and spacious and there is a beautiful apple tree in its centre. Great WiFi which connects immediately. Again this is a good feature as the 5G / 4G locally is not good at all. The location is within 15 minutes drive of Newquay, the Healeys cider farm, Lappa Valley and only a 5 min walk to the beautiful Crantock beach with its amazing dunes. Rock pooling can be done at both Crantock and Newquay beaches and Padstow harbour is only half an hour away for crabbing. Perfect location and the best family holiday we have all had. We will hopefully be back again.

“Accommodation was lovely, well appointed and equipped.”

Property is in a great location and and easy walk to local amenities and to the beach. Very clean with a lovely garden. The main issue was the fact that there was building work taking place to the next door property which was having a brand new roof. Monday to Friday from 7.45 am for the day the work was being carried out which was extremely noisy. It woke us up each day, it was difficult to sit in the garden in peace due to electric saws, drills and machinery and hammering etc for most of the time we were there. I believe with such major work happening a few feet away, we should have been made aware this was going on. It had a big impact on the holiday and quality of our stay and therefore you need to make future guests aware and possibly offer some compensation/ reduced rate whilst this is going on. Thanks

Wendy May 2024

“Beautiful home .”

Fantastic location, pretty and secure garden for the dog. Everything you need is provided in this property for a winter or summer break . Will definitely book again !

- Wendy, May 2024

“Our second stay here and didn't disappoint.”

We'll be back! A pity Sykes, unlike Cornish Gems, don't offer a small discount to returning customers.

- David, April 2024
Shelly April 2024

“This is our 4th stay at Keelyn, we absolutely love it!”

The property is of an exceptional standard, extremely comfortable and has every thing you need to make your stay memorable it’s convenient for both the village and beautiful Crantock beach.

- Shelly, April 2024

Thank you very much and your positive comments are very much appreciated! Look forward to seeing you again soon hopefully Property Owner
Jane March 2024

“The property was absolutely superb immaculately clean.”

There was everything we needed to make our stay like home from home. Beautiful decor and lovely garden. So close to the village which we have stayed in on numerous occasions. We come to crantock twice and year and will definitely re book Keelyn again.

- Jane, March 2024
Tracy February 2024

“Lovely holiday accommodation, very well equipped, a home from home.”

We had one or two minor issues when we arrived, but Tracey, our contact, was very attentive and on the ball, nothing was too much trouble. The garden is secure for dogs and well maintained by the weekly gardener. The sofa's in the lounge were comfortable and so were the beds, the shower was good and it was handy to have two toilets! We stayed for 4 weeks and wish it could have been longer! The village is very pretty, the local shop/post office was an easy short walk, as were the two pubs - our preference was the Old Albion Inn, great food, cosy yet spacious. The beach is a 10 min walk downhill, and when we came back we went up over the dunes from the National Trust car park, it made the climb back up a little easier! The beach is stunning and there is so much to see on the North Coast of Cornwall. The only slight negative is the steps to the front door, it's quite a steep step out from the front door, and for elderly visitors, I would recommend a handrail on the wall that runs adjacent to the steps. But, of all the cottages & bungalows we have stayed in, this was by far the best for comfort and location, and we hope to return one day.

- Tracy, February 2024

Thank you for your very kind comments, we are so pleased you like it Property Owner
Rosemary February 2024

“Really lovely cottage perfectly situated for the beach and a lovely touch with the afternoon tea”

- Rosemary, February 2024
Helen January 2024

“I would consider not charging for dogs?”

Can’t see how £40 per dog is justified within the price of the property. Just an opinion. Great property though.

- Helen, January 2024
Tracey January 2024

“Lovely well equipped cottage.”

We have been to Crantock before and love the walks and beach. Keelyn cottage is ideal to access both. Within easy walking distance to two great pubs. We only tried the cornishman but had an amazing roast dinner. Only minor negatives for us would be to have the Towel rail on in the bathroom (understand it is not on due to safety reasons?) and have a hose attached to the tap in the back garden to help clean off muddy boots and dog. But wouldnt stop us from returning to this lovely cottage.

- Tracey, January 2024
David November 2023

“A competitively priced, well appointed bungalow in a good location for village facilities, beach and walks.”

Shirley September 2023

“This was our 2nd visit to Keelyn, as expected everything was perfect.”

The house is beautifully clean and well stock, even left us a cream tea upon arrival. The house is in a perfect position to visit all the sights Cornwall has to offer. The village is a favourite of ours, two lovely pubs which are dog friendly within a stone throw, also a small shop selling everything we needed. The house has quite a few steps at the front so not easy if you have mobility problems, however to the side is a passage with just 3 steps and a slope up to the back gate. All in all a great base to explore

- Shirley, September 2023
Rachael September 2023

“Lovely cottage , with an outdoor seating and a great enclosed garden.”

The cottage was well equipped with everything you need. The only thing missing for me was a cafetière. The location was perfect, a few minutes walk to the village and the beach. Slept really well and would definitely stay at Keelyn again.

- Rachael, September 2023
Terence September 2023

“This house is in an ideal location in Crantock about 100m walk from the village centre but far enough away not to be bothered with any noise (although our visit was at the end of the season).”

The house was very clean and had all the facilities you would need. Nicely maintained and private rear garden with patio area etc. Close to the local walks and the South West coastal path. Village has plenty of amenities and the locals are friendly. Would recommend this house and location for couples and small family.

- Terence, September 2023
John September 2023

“We had a great stay at Keelyn.”

We love Crantock and being so close to beaches and local facilities. We were a party of 3 adults and a dog. The property offered everything we required with the exception of a cafetiere and a corkscrew. The BT TV in the lounge offers a great choice of programmes and films to watch. The enclosed rear garden is good for the dog and enjoying the sun. There are several steps to the front door, but the property can accessed by the gate to the back garden if preferred. We enjoyed Keelyn so much that we have booked again for next year.

- John, September 2023

We are very pleased you had a great time and lovely to know you wish to come back. There was both a corkscrew (3) and a cafetière (2) the last we did a stock take in August. We will replace for sure and sorry for any inconvenience. Property Owner
Patricia June 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Keelyn.”

The only negative for us was the steps up to the cottage. A rail would have been a great help and maybe a handle next to the front door. Otherwise it was a perfect cottage for us and the dogs.

- Patricia, June 2023

Delighted to know you had a lovely time. Noted re the handrail - it’s something on our to do list. Property Owner
Debbie June 2023

“A lovely house in a wonderful location.”

We stayed here last year and loved it so much we returned. It has a lovely, largely quiet, little garden full of mature plants which are a delight. The gardens and stone walls of nearly every road are bursting with colours in full bloom. The beach is a short walk away, as are the dunes. There are 2 pubs and a cafe/pizza eatery and the village shop is well stocked. Every resident/local we met was really friendly and helpful. (I hope I am the same when we finally move down to Cornwall!) Fabulous for dog owners as there are many walks and dog friendly beaches nearby, all are perfect at low tide, and you don't have to walk along the cliff edges to get to both Polly Joke and Holywell beaches. In June, the poppy fields of West Pentire are simply stunning with the back drop of the sea and beautiful beaches. We realise feedback is largely subjective but there is only one thing on our wishlist for this house and that's bath sheets rather than towels. I imagine during winter months a tumble dryer would be helpful too. Thank you for a lovely stay once again with kind regards

- Debbie, June 2023

Thank you for the lovely comments. There is a built in tumble dryer built into the washing machine. We order the largest bath towels our supplier currently has to offer. Hopefully see you again. Property Owner
Mark May 2023

“This is our fourth stay at Keelyn and we have already booked for next year ...”

- Mark, May 2023
Shelly March 2023

“This is our third stay at Keelyn and it never disappoints us.”

The house is just perfect and only a 6 minute walk to the gloriously golden Crantock beach.

- Shelly, March 2023

thank you for your lovely comments and we are so pleased you keep coming back - we love it too! Property Owner
Lesley March 2023

“House was spotlessly clean and comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen.”

The garden is beautiful and very safe for dogs. Great location for beach, pub and local shop.

“Fantastic accommodation Lovely owner who kept us well informed Thanks”

- Frank, February 2023
Charlotte October 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Keelyn.”

We have been coming to Crantock for holidays at least once a year for many years and this is one of the best properties we have stayed in. The location near the village and not far from the beach is perfect for us whilst still having off road parking available. The property itself is lovely, light, spacious and very comfortable.

- Charlotte, October 2022
Shirley September 2022

“Everything was perfect, we loved Keelyn and have already booked for next year.”

The house was so well equipped, and well kept, obviously loved by the owners. Just one small thing could the pillows in the bedroom be changed they are very soft and uncomfortable but this was just a small observation.

- Shirley, September 2022

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Pillows purchased and available to use. Property Owner
Mandy September 2022

“Great property, dog friendly in a central location to walk to the beach, local shop, pubs and cafe.”

The garden was lovely and dog friendly. Overall we had a lovely stay and we would definitely return again.

- Mandy, September 2022
Corrine September 2022

“We love the keelyn this are second stay there it's home from home it won't be are last.”

- Corrine, September 2022
Anne July 2022

“Fantastic location in the quaint village of Crantock and only 10 minutes walk from the beach.”

Really clean and comfortable, with great mattresses to sleep on and large beds. The garden is lovely and importantly, safe for dogs (enclosed and no toxic plants). It was a treat to have the outside table to eat al fresco in the nice weather. We all loved the house and can’t wait to come back.

- Anne, July 2022

Great to hear and we are pleased you had a lovely holiday - thank you for the kind comments and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Property Owner
Alexandra June 2022

“A very comfortable property; we would not hesitate to stay at Keelyn on another occasion.”

- Alexandra, June 2022
Debbie June 2022

“A lovely house in the most wonderful location, particuarly for dog owners as there are 4 year round dog friendly beaches in the area including the lovely Crantock Bay itself (low tide particularly) there are 2 pubs and the Jam Jar in walking distance as well as the Londis and post office.”

The cliff paths to Holywell and beyond to Perranporth are a delight, though with some caution if you have mad dogs like we do! The information folder is also helpful and I had fun searching out the carved woman's head and the sad but beautiful poem amongst the rocks on the Bay. The house itself had everything we needed, was very clean and comfortable, thank you. The only thing I would have found a helpful addition was a non slip mat for the shower. The garden is also a delight of colours in the spring and summer and really peaceful. I have no doubt we will return, though such lovely homes get booked up really quickly these days. Thank you again for such care and attention and, of course, the cream tea!

- Debbie, June 2022
Nicola June 2022

“Simply want to say thank you!”

Lovely enclosed garden for the dogs. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable and spacious accommodation. Walking distance to beach, shop and pubs. Will definitely book again.

- Nicola, June 2022
Mark May 2022

“A wonderful property in a prefect location 10 minutes walk from the beach and 3 minutes from the village.”

This is our third time staying at Keelyn with it’s dog friendly garden makes it ideal for us and our golden retriever,already booked for next year can’t wait.

- Mark, May 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you love Keelyn as much as we do. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Keelyn.”

It really is a fantastic location to explore the North Coast. We would definitely recommend and will be back again next year.

- Simone, April 2022
Carrie March 2022

“The accommodation was clean comfortable and ideally situated for the beach and local walks and just a 10 minute drive to Morrisons supermarket for supplies.”

I will definitely book to stay here again can't honestly find anything to fault about our weeks holiday, even the weather was great.

- Carrie, March 2022
Janine February 2022

“We loved staying here.”

It was just perfect for our little getaway to Crantock. We love Crantock so much - so many memories for us. We will be back soon!

- Janine, February 2022
Amanda January 2022

“Home from home feel.”

Lovely property. Would book again. On arrival when checking what was where in the kitchen the washing machine cupboard door was hanging off when opened, husband made a temporary repair and we reported to Tracey straight away via text who apologised for missing it. Also noted on going issue with a vehicle parked across from driveway, awkward to manoeuvre off drive when other vehicles also parked in street.

- Amanda, January 2022
Robert January 2022

“Bad condensation in shower room ,even with fan on,coat-hooks in hall loose, back garden muddy, but a nice property well presented.”

- Robert, January 2022

Thank you for your feedback. I have asked the manager to look at both the condensation and coat hooks as we were the last people to stay over Christmas. Unfortunately unable to do much with the grass in the garden and the wet weather. Property Owner
Lindsey December 2021

“Keelyn is an outstanding property in an ideal location.”

Everything that we needed was provided, our 2 dogs had a wonderful time in the garden, the wood burner provided a lovely cosy atmosphere for our December stay. We can’t wait to return at some point next year!

- Lindsey, December 2021

Thank you very much for the lovely comments. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Keelyn and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Property Owner
Deborah November 2021

“This is a lovely warm comfortable property.”

The rear gate access is really useful with a dog rather than having to use front door down the steeper steps . Makes it easier to keep sandy paws out of the house .Communications from property manager were prompt clear and friendly thank you Tracey - we will definitely come back. Rear garden fully enclosed for dogs and you can see them while they’re outside from the sitting room. Only niggle as mentioned before someone from the locality ( but not the street we are told ) leaves their car permanently parked across the drive and this makes access a bit more tricky with a bigger car or if you had two cars to park - I think they’ve being doing it for years but we were told by another local lady who it affects that it’s illegal as it’s on speed humps. Crantock is a lovely friendly village and from Keelyn you can walk to the beach 5-10 mins with 2 great pubs and a good store all within a stroll. We are delighted we have found this lovely dog friendly property.

- Deborah, November 2021

Thank you very much for the lovely comments. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Keelyn and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future Property Owner

Terence October 2021

“Lovely property, ideally placed in the village of Crantock.”

The property is a perfect place to stay for dog owners as has secure garden and close to beach and walks. Everything you need is provided and would definitely look to stay again. Only slight moan would be the car parked at opposite end of driveway for duration of stay, made accessing driveway awkward.

- Terence, October 2021
Barry October 2021

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful village, good local amenities.”

Great local beaches

- Barry, October 2021
Amanda August 2021

“Fantastic location.”

Lovely comfortable house and very clean. Have to turn bathroom light on for fan to work our only dilemma, worked it out in the end. Would love to live there. Perfect place

- Amanda, August 2021
Anthony June 2021

“We had a great time, 3 generations and a dog.”

So close to Crantock Beach. Garden was great for Grandaughter and dog. Tumble dryer still not working but only a minor issue. Outside shower is a great plus for cleaning after being at the beach. Would definitely go back. Very clean although some of the bed linen was past it’s best and was difficult to put back on after washing, but again..minor

- Anthony, June 2021
Corrine May 2021

“Amazing holiday home brilliant location will definitely book agian we love crantock.”

...the holiday home was home from home for us the garden was great for my sausage dogs they loved it and the beach was 10 min walk we couldn't ask for anything more The Albion inn was wonderful food amazing staff fanstic xx

- Corrine, May 2021
Susan May 2021

“Keelyn was in a perfect location and had all we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.”

Less than 10 minutes from Crantock beach, the village shop, pub, and cafe less than 5 minutes away, and a major supermarket less than a 10 minute drive away. There was close and easy access to so many different routes for beautiful walks to other beaches and along the coastal pathways, we would need another week to try them all! The level of cleanliness was excellent and made us feel very safe and confident that all the appropriate covid measures had been taken. The bed was very comfortable, the lounge with a log fire, was a very pleasant place to relax and recover from a fun day walking and playing on the beach in sometimes wet and windy weather. Finally the garden was beautiful and perfectly secure so our dog could run around and we didn’t need to worry about her escaping. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay and look forward to staying again in the future!

- Susan, May 2021
Jane April 2021

“Lovely clean well equipped bungalow with a beautifully tended mature south facing garden.”

Nice to see most of the previous negative comments have been addressed such as new toilet brushes and an efficient vacuum. The only negative point was the late check in and early check out and times.

- Jane, April 2021
Sarah April 2021

“We had a delightful week in Crantock , the cottage was cosy and well equipped ...”

We had a delightful week in Crantock , the cottage was cosy and well equipped with a beautiful private garden which our two dogs loved The beach which is a few minutes walk across the sand dunes or you can walk down the road if you prefer is breathtaking, we will definitely come again Thank you for a fantastic holiday

- Sarah, April 2021
Dave October 2020

“Great property, nicely presented with a clean garden (as it was left) The cottage was booked as it had a log burner - unfortunately no fire tools were available (tongs, poker etc).”

Heating, however was more than adequate. This issue and a number of light bulbs not working were advised to the property manager but no action taken as they were ceiling mounted flush LEDS that needed changing. Also very strangely there were no loo brushes in either of the toilets. As a pet friendly place a better vacuum cleaner would aid keeping the dog hair down. Henry is not up to it. Finally there are a couple of very selfish local people who keep parking their cars right opposite the drive way making it very difficult to get on and off. We would advise reversing onto the drive as its then easier to drive off.

- Dave, October 2020
Lisa September 2020

“Lovely light, airy, spacious accommodation, beautifully decorated, good quality fixtures & fittings very clean.”

Would definitely stay there again. Disappointing late 5pm check in and early 9am checkout, seems unnecessary even with Covid precautions. Crantock is a fabulous place to stay and Keelyn is ideally placed in the village. Good value for money. Front door is difficult to lock and needs some attention. The Large number of uneven Front Steps would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

- Lisa, September 2020
Kathryn August 2020

“Keelyn was a beautifully kept and well equipped cottage for our family, the location was perfect for us with the sandy beach, pub and village shop in walking distance and all the other local beaches and towns a short drive away.”

- Kathryn, August 2020
Jo August 2020

“The bungalow was just right for our family of 4 and our dog.”

It was very clean upon arrival. It’s a 10 minute walk to the fantastic beach at Crantock. We enjoyed our time on the beach here and also enjoyed Holywell Bay too. We saw some beautiful sunsets and loved going onto the beach in the early evenings.

- Jo, August 2020
Christian July 2020

“As always, Tracey the property manager was brilliant.”

A credit to the company. The cottage and village are still great, even with COVID19. The local businesses did fantastically considering the restrictions. The only minor issues we experienced were: People parking opposite the driveway on the solid white lines. I would advise anyone to reverse into the driveway if visiting. However, this is to be expected in August. The dryer part of the washer dryer didn't work. Even with just one small item they didn't dry at all. I expect this gets a lot of use though.

- Christian, July 2020
Graham October 2019

“We have already booked for next year.”

Service from Sykes 1st class especially as this was a reschedule after we had to cancel the original booking due to ill health which Sykes handled brilliantly & ultimately saved us losing lots of ££. We had a lovely holiday. the house was as described but even nicer & tho we didn't need help the property manager sent us friendly texts to show onhand if needed without being intrusive. Only 1 tiny thing.... logs starter pack not provided but as it was 25 Oct & filthy weather on arrival it would have been great. All in all 10/10 ten all round. Thank you all!

- Graham, October 2019
Christian August 2019

“We used the washer dryer due to inclement weather during our stay.”

The washing was still wet after several hours of drying. Not sure if there is a fault on it. I didn't want to put negative points in the visitors book. The house was clean, tidy and had everything we needed as usual. Tracey, who manages the property was great as always, friendly and helpful. A credit to the company. As always the cottage was lovely. The only issue we experienced was people parking opposite the drive on solid white lines, which caused us some issues with trying to reverse into the driveway. This is to be expected in high season. It was good to see the driveway had been widened to assist with parking. We have already booked for next year in Keelyn. It is a lovely cottage and village. We would love to be able to afford a holiday home in Crantock.

- Christian, August 2019
Andy August 2019

“Great property , great place , great walks on the beach , great break just not long enough”

- Andy, August 2019
Nancy June 2019

“The property was excellent and very clean BUT I booked the bungalow, as you had stated that the walk to the beach was a 'three minute walk'!”

! This is inaccurate. To get to the beach one has a very steep hill to walk down. One would have to be very fit and have to run down the hill to make it even to the car park to run the 'three minutes'. Also I had visualised the 'three minutes' as a flat surface. Think you should adjust your profile.

- Nancy, June 2019
Clare May 2019

“We had a brilliant time at Keelyn.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It was our second stay at this cottage and we have already booked again for next year. Good sized bedrooms and the beds were comfortable, good living space and the sofas were comfortable. The garden was secure and perfect for our little dog. Absolutely no complaints and the cottage was perfect for us.

- Clare, May 2019
Diane April 2019

“We had a great time the property was lovely and clean and well presented and fully equipped.”

Loved the big shower and comfy bed I normally have issues with sleeping while away but not this time. The garden is a little haven for wild life which you can admire from the sofa or patio.I could easily pack my bags and move in tomorrow on a permanent basis.

- Diane, April 2019
Shelly March 2019

“As soon as we stepped inside Keelyn it felt like home, it is a fabulous house with everything you need.”

The wonderful Crantock beach is within easy walking distance and is stunning! We ate at the Albion in the village, the food and atmosphere was great, they also allowed out 2 largish dogs in there too. We had the most relaxing, peaceful holiday and when we weren’t on the beach we sat in the south facing garden which is a sun trap and so quiet. Keelyn we LOVE YOU ❤️

- Shelly, March 2019
Alison February 2019

“Keelyn is a beautiful cottage, furnished to a very high standard.”

Great location, less than 10 min walk to the beach and no more than 5 minutes to the centre of the village. Two great local pubs and well stock led village shop.

- Alison, February 2019
Siobhan December 2018

“The house was excellent.”

Would have been good to have a call from property manager a few days in to make sure everything was as expected.

- Siobhan, December 2018
Marie December 2018

“Everything was amazing and the caretaker of the cottage was so lovely .”

Mince pies , milk, coffee and tea were very much appreciated.

Jessica November 2018

“Absolutely love coming down to this cottage, this is the third time since summer in 2017 and will definitely be returning again next year, perfect location and is equipped with everything you need for a weeks holiday.”

- Jessica, November 2018
Karen September 2018

“We stayed at Keelyn in Crantock the last week in September and when we arrived, we were early (we left home early but traffic was good) and cleaners were still in.”

It was no problem at all for us to leave the car on the drive and go for a walk while they finished. The house was spotless on arrival, so thank you! Keelyn is very comfortable and cosy and has a lovely fully enclosed garden for sitting out in, especially good the week we were there, weather was fab! There is building work going on across the road and the parking by a couple of locals (not by the builders at all) could have been a pain as they did park directly opposite the drive on the narrow bit of road, but as we hardly used the car, it wasn't an issue. I did wonder if the change from Crantock Holiday Cottages to Sykes would make a difference, but it hasn't. Thanks, we had a lovely holiday...see you next year!

- Karen, September 2018

Pam June 2018

“Keelyn cottage was fabulous.”

Clean, modern, very well equipped, and furnished, and decorated to a very high standard. There was nothing extra you could ask for. The location was great, only 5 minutes walk to Crantock beach and less to the village pub, and tea room. We will definitely be returning to this lovely cottage

- Pam, June 2018
Christian May 2018

“The only issue we found was that due to the change over in management the handover procedures appeared to be overlooked.”

However, the property manager rang me the same evening and confirmed details. I was also called by the customer services team the following day. The property has been refurbished by the owners with new windows and doors, which have improved the temperatures at night and look of the property. The only negative aspect of the stay, a very minor one being that the bin day appears to have changed from that listed in the guide at the property. It states Tuesday is bin day but they turned up on Monday. Therefore, we missed putting the bag out from the weekend. A lovely village and property with friendly locals and a local shop and supermarket a short distance away.

Cottage Summary

Keelyn is a two bedroom single storey house just a stone's throw from Crantock Village centre and within a 3 minute walk of Crantock Beach.

The cottage has has a light, bright decor with a homely, modern feel.

The open plan living area with plenty of comfortable seating and a separate dining area, make it a perfect cottage for families wanting to come back from the beach, jump straight in the shower and be able to keep mess to a minimum.

However if a winter break is more what you are looking for, the log burner in the sitting area is perfect for curling up in front of adding a real ambience.

Due to its central location, Keelyn will appeal to those who like to be within a close walking distance from 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 also just a three minute walk from the barn, making it an excellent spot for surfers and beach lovers.

Furthermore, the fully enclosed garden with a separate side entrance, provides a safe place to let your dogs run around without having to worry about them escaping.

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.

Please note: Dogs are charged at £40 per pet
