    “Lovely property in a lovely place.”

    Bedrooms and inside living spaces amazing. Along with the peaceful countryside views. Outside decking and furniture needs some attention - BBQ didn't work properly so couldn't use it, garden furniture was really dirty and had to clean and outside lighting was tripped on the fuse board and didn't work - all I would have expected in the lovely summer months.

    Thank you for your feedback following your stay at Kerslake House. We are sorry to hear you had an issue with the BBQ and the outdoor lighting. These are being looked at and we will let you know what the issue was. We are also sorry the outdoor furniture was dirty from several recent rain storms containing Sahara dust. We have spoken to our house manager and she explained she hadn’t had chance to clean outside due to your arrival a day early. We hope it didn’t spoil your holiday. Property Owner

About the location

CRAFTHOLE

Downderry 3.7 miles; Millbrook 4.6 miles; Looe 10.2 miles; Plymouth 17.9 miles

Nestled in southeast Cornwall's Rame Peninsula is the stunning village of Crafthole. This hidden gem can be found in the parish of Sheviock and boasts a country pub, shop, chapel, Post Office, and a village hall. Dating back to the 19th century, this sneaky village was well-known for smuggling rum, using the Portwrinkle harbour to offload the beverage and travelling up the long and steep hill back to Crafthole Methodist Chapel, where the rum would be stored underneath the building. Portwrinkle is a gorgeous coastal village, home to a Grade II listed building, Eglarooze Cliff, sandy beaches, and a large golf course. Also nearby havens worth visiting include the beautiful coastal villages of Millbrook, Downderry, the fun, seaside town of Looe and the thriving city of Plymouth. Antony is a nearby village, boasting popular gardens, museums, boat trips, and walking and cycling opportunities along the cliff tops. Crafthole is a tranquil spot for a quiet break away when exploring the Cornish coast.
