About this property
Byron’s Retreat is a charming bungalow nestled in a quiet Close in the village of Crantock, in Cornwall. Suited for families or friends, this property boasts a garden, hot tub and proximity to the beach, shop and pub. After arriving and making use of the private parking, guests are welcomed by a peaceful setting and a gentle freshness in the air, hinting at the nearby coast. Step inside to begin your stay in the kitchen/diner, where the scent of toast and freshly brewed tea fills the space as breakfast is prepared. The oven and hob invite home-cooked meals, while the kettle and toaster add the finishing touches to slow mornings and relaxed evenings. The sitting room offers a warm retreat, with soft, power reclining seating and a Smart TV for laid-back evenings after days spent exploring. When it’s time to unwind, an en suite super king bedroom, a king bedroom and a twin bedroom offer restful spaces to recharge, each simply furnished for comfort. The bathroom offers a bath and shower, ideal for easing into the evening or refreshing before heading out. Step outside to discover a private rear garden with patio, furniture and a hot tub, perfect for alfresco dining or a soak beneath the stars. The local shop and pub are just a short walk away, and the beach can be reached on foot, making it easy to enjoy the best of village life and coastal charm. In the Summer months, there's also a café to indulge yourself with a sumptuous breakfast or mid-morning coffee & cake, which transforms into a pizzeria in the evening! Byron’s Retreat is a welcoming base for a relaxed Cornish escape, offering comfort, convenience and a touch of indulgence. The surroundings enjoy scenic countryside and coastal charm, where you can stroll to Crantock Beach for paddling in the shallows, sunbathing on golden sands, walking among the dunes or indulging in a Cornish pasty or ice cream as the sun dips below the horizon. Treat your loved one to a meal out at Old Albion Inn or The Cornishman, offering hearty pub classics in a relaxed setting, or head to The Bowgie Inn for sea views and a varied menu of local favourites. Make the most of your location by discovering the history within Trerice, a 16th-century manor house where you can wander through rooms filled with period furnishings, dress up in Tudor or Elizabethan attire, and admire the blooms in the formal gardens. There are plenty of other beaches to explore and stunning vistas to uncover—take a drive to St. Agnes Heritage Coast for dramatic cliff walks and wildlife spotting. Further afield, the Eden Project invites you into vast biomes filled with tropical and Mediterranean worlds, interactive exhibits for all ages, and vibrant outdoor gardens. Padstow offers a lively harbour scene, fresh seafood and boutique shops, while the Camel Trail provides a scenic route for walkers and cyclists. The Lost Gardens of Heligan promise a magical escape with jungle boardwalks, ancient woodland and beautifully restored Victorian gardens. Or if relaxing over a glass of wine is more your style, treat yourself to a tasting at one of the award-winning wineries in Cornwall, producing excellent sparkling wine, refreshing whites and sumptuous reds! For golfers, there’s plenty of choice with 5 golf courses within a 10-mile drive of Byron's Retreat, or if you enjoy a walk without the clubs, head for the South West Coast Path! Note: This property can be booked with ref. 1190678, together sleeping 8 guests.
Crantock is a small village on the Atlantic Coast with a beautiful beach served by a National Trust car park. Being just a short drive to the popular resorts of Newquay and Perranporth, 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, the majestic coastline is the main
event. 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 to Chapel Porth and Gwithian. There are a number of golf courses in the area, as well as a host of National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants.
Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, attractions, pubs and restaurants aplenty, plus a modern cinema complex. Connection wise, being a short distance off the main A30 means access by car is easy, and Newquay Train Station and Newquay Airport are close by. Being centrally located in mid-Cornwall, you are ideally placed to explore farther afield with
Truro, Falmouth, Padstow, Fowey, The Eden Project, Charleston Harbour, St.Ives and St. Michael’s Mount all under an hour away.
