Great stay at Crab Cottage.
Good location for north Cornwall ....Trebarwith Strand the closest beach is beautiful at low tide. The cottage is well equipped with a cosy feel. It has been tastefully refurbished to add some modern practical touches. 6 of us stayed comfortably and the dog loved the open fields close by.
Lovely cottage just the right size for our family of 5 and dachshund .
On a main road but traffic noise wasn't an issue, no direct parking but options within 50-100 mtrs. Location was great for getting around for your day trips, close to Tintagel, Boscastle, Trebarwith, then the main roads to get to Newquay, Padstow and Bude etc are easy to get to. Would definitely consider this cottage again for what will be many more breaks in Cornwall.
It was easy to find and plenty of on street parking.
The cottage itself was roomy and well equipped. One of the highlights was the woodburner which really gave out great heat in the evening as we settled down. It was a wonderful focal point and was soothing to the bones having spent the day out on the bitter winds Cornwall had to offer that day. Nicely placed as a centre for exploring that part of the county.
