This welcoming, detached, granite house, built in 1870, is ideally situated in the small, quiet and beautiful hamlet of West Pentire. There is no through access elsewhere by car, and it is a short walk to the headland. Because of careful management by the National Trust, there is a profusion of flowers and birds, including larks, in season. The sandy Porth Joke Beach and Crantock Beach are a few minutes’ walk from the house, though at high tide access to Crantock Beach is through the dunes and takes a few minutes longer. After a great afternoon at the beach return to the holiday home and wash off the sand in the external covered shower room with toilet. Both are ideal for children and surfers. For miles of coastal walks join the Coastal Path here. Further afield there are numerous opportunities to explore Newquay, including Fistral beach, 5 miles, Padstow, Truro, Penzance, the Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, famous houses and gardens. There are countless attractions for children. Shop 1 mile, pub 100 yards.
Lovely place with comfy beds. In need of a bit of maintenance for leaky kitchen tap flaky plaster and on going issues with tv remote. No WiFi which was ok for us but may not suit others. Narrow entrance to parking area.
Fantastic location!We loved our stay here and would definitely return.Much bigger than we expected and perfect for the beach.Outside shower was a godsend for the kids.Lovely garden.Well equipped kitchen,all newly decorated.The only issue we had was the window in the main bedroom desperately needs replacing,we were so cold when the weather changed!
A very functional house in a perfect location. The upstairs has been decorated beautifully, and felt very cosy. The drive way is very narrow (we do have a large car) but it made parking a mission as we had to push wing mirrors in so couldn’t use them for reversing. Having said that, with lovely walks, beaches and a pub on the door step you don’t need to go out in a car!
Super house, wonderful location. Bedrooms all refurbished since our last stay which is a great improvement.
Our stay October, 2019
Beautiful Cottage, wonderful location for walks along the coastal path with our dog. Will be booking again ☺. Loved it ☺
