About this property
Pentreath, situated down a private road just outside Crantock Village, is a single storey house with a stunning view overlooking Crantock Bay.
Pentreath is very sought after, being of a high standard and in walking distance to a glorious sandy beach next to one of Cornwall’s most picturesque seaside villages.
The house sleeps up to eight people and is ideal for family groups or four couples.
Seven minutes walk one way to Crantock Beach or ten minutes in the other direction to Polly Joke, both beautiful, dog friendly, beaches and great fun for surfing or body boarding. A short walk and you will find yourself in the village where there are two pubs, the Cosy Nook Tea Rooms, a village shop and post office and the church of St. Carantock.
The spacious, easy-use set up of the living area can be enjoyed all year round with a wood burning stove in the sun lounge which is ideal to cosy up to, relax and watch the sunset.
Crantock is a small Cornish village set back from the coast 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, National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.

This cottage is stunning and every little detail is thought about. We can't recommend this highly enough.

We all really enjoyed our holidays. Whilst certainly not a criticism, the activity of moles is spoiling the appearance of the lawn. Thank you for letting us stay in Pentraeth. John Wilkinson and family members.

Our only comment is that on both visits we have needed more general waste and recycling bags than provided. 8 people generate quite a lot. Also there were no bags for the smaller dog poo bag bin. Other than that, faultless. Thank you.
