“Fabulous property with everything you could need.”

The location was perfect and the property was spotlessly clean. We didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely book again.

“I would definitely recommend this stay, we'll likely be back in the future.”

The house is well equipped, we had everything we needed and more. The only downside would be that both of the full bathrooms are upstairs, if there was a downstairs bathroom it would make the house much more accessible. The shower outside was a bonus but a moveable shower head would be more useable, for example washing feet or the dog before going back into the property without the potential of getting clothing wet from the shower. The owner was lovely, messaged us before, answered a message during and after the stay. She felt approachable if we were to need anything. The house is within 10 minutes of anything we needed and we spent the majority of the holiday paddle boarding at Crantock beach which was just down the road. In comparison to Sykes terrible customer service this house and owner was great!

- Abigail, September 2024

We are so pleased you had a great stay at Offshore - Crantock is certainly ideal for all sorts of watersports, as well as just dog walking and relaxing! We do hope that you will be able to return in the future. Thank you for your helpful comments too. The outside shower is a weatherproof fitting and a moveable head wasn't available for it at the time we installed it. However, this may have changed now, so is definitely worth looking into, as it would be very useful. Property Owner
Hayley August 2024

“Well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms, good living space and bedrooms.”

Good hot outdoor shower and storage shed for beach gear. Only downside are the big steep steps from the house into the garden, with no hand rails, so a bit dangerous for small dogs, small children and anyone unsteady on their feet.

- Hayley, August 2024
Graeme July 2024

“We enjoyed a lovely week in this comfortable house which was well equipped and spacious for 6.”

The NT carpark at Crantock was an added bonus, though it was full by 8:30 as the weather was so good. The local Londis was extremely useful as it sold a good range of items at a reasonable price. We celebrated a birthday at The Bowgie Inn for 22 (including 7children) and we were allocated a space where we could spread out and were made very welcome.

- Graeme, July 2024

We are so pleased to hear you had such an enjoyable week staying at Offshore - you were certainly lucky with the weather! Crantock is such a friendly village and it's great that you were made so welcome at the Bowgie Inn. Property Owner
Christine July 2024

“This property is absolutely perfect, the location, the facilities and the presentation of the property.”

It is clearly looked after and has everything you can need for the perfect stay Cornwall

- Christine, July 2024

Thank you so much for your kind feedback - it sounds as if you had a wonderful stay in Crantock. We love being here ourselves and are so pleased you enjoyed it too. Property Owner
David May 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely comfortable, clean, modern and well equipped home with a nice garden in a quiet location.”

I would move in tomorrow.

- David, May 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback - and it's great that you enjoyed your stay. We love it there too and enjoy tackling the garden when we're staying - always plenty of pruning needed as things grow so well in Cornwall! Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay and the accommodation was everything and more.”

“We had a fantastic family weekend.”

The accommodation was spotless and extremely well equipped. We would definitely recommend it.

We are so pleased you had a lovely family weekend and thank you for recommending us. Property Owner
John October 2023

“Well appointed, clearly a lot of thought has been given to how the house is equipped, decorated and furnished.”

Plenty of kitchen equipment, cutlery and crockery and everything worked. Two fridges useful. Complimentary milk, tea and coffee on arrival appreciated. The house was very clean and tidy. We very much enjoyed our stay.

- John, October 2023

Thank you so much for your very positive and detailed feedback. Apologies for not responding sooner, but we hope to be able to welcome you back at offshore some time in the future. Property Owner
Carole October 2023

“Lovely property in a great location.”

Everything you need at the property for great home style living. Some of the furnishings are tired/well used, mattress sagging on the king-size bed, but other than that I would highly recommend this property. The location for Crantock and it's stunning beach is definitely the best, even for those who cannot manage hilly beach access. It is definitely somewhere we would consider staying again.

- Carole, October 2023

Thank you for your useful feedback and we are pleased that you would recommend us. We were also disappointed with the king size mattress - it was new from John lewis in 2021 - part of their natural collection. We did complain about it but they said the sagging was to be expected given the nature of the mattress! Property Owner
Christine September 2023

“Off Shore is by far the best holiday rental we have ever stayed in .”

Spotlessly clean , everything good quality and very comfortable . We had everything we could possible want. The word that springs to mind is excellent.

- Christine, September 2023

Thank you so much for your positive feedback - we were pleased that you had everything you needed for a great holiday. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Karen September 2023

“A pleasant little house in a less than salubrious location.”

4 comfortable bedrooms, very well equipped kitchen and sunny little garden. The bottom line is that the house is not big enough for 6 adults and 2 children, despite having sufficient beds! I would say 4 adults 2 children at the most. There was never enough hot water for all of us to shower. We could all fit around the kitchen table but it was a squeeze. The layout of the lounge meant up to 5 could sit and watch TV, 2 people could sit at the back of the room out of the way, and the 8th? No comfortable garden furniture, or the ability to fit around the outside table was the absolute deal breaker for us. We were unable to enjoy the lovely evenings because there was not enough room to sit and the furniture was so uncomfortable. We enjoyed our holiday, but will not use again. Also as with every Sykes property we have ever used, the grass hadn't been cut for weeks.

- Karen, September 2023
Diane September 2023

“We’ve had another great holiday at Offshore this year.”

It really is a home from home after a number of visits over the past few years. It is well equipped and very comfortable for our ever growing family. The kitchen is spacious and has all the equipment needed for self catering. Each of the bedrooms has plenty of storage and having 2 bathrooms and a downstairs bathroom are useful when the house is at full capacity. The garden is enclosed and has a shed which has been useful for all our beach gear! Plus an outside shower for rinsing the sand off after a day on the beach. We were blessed with glorious weather this year but Offshore would be a peaceful retreat should you want to chill at home. The fact that we have returned so many times speaks for itself

- Diane, September 2023

Thank you so much for such generous, detailed feedback. We are really pleased to be able to welcome you back to Offshore year after year, and especially happy for you that the weather was so fantastic this time! Property Owner
Chris May 2023

“It would have been nice to have a bit more of a welcome pack.”

We run 2 air b&b in the lakes and give an awful lot more than milk and tea and coffee

- Chris, May 2023
Nick May 2023

“The property was very good and we had a lovely stay, we would recommend the property to any of our friends, and will certainly try and book it again when we revisit the area in the future.”

- Nick, May 2023

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Offshore and hope you will be returning - Crantock is certainly a lovely place for a holiday. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Property Owner
Daniel May 2023

“Perfect accommodation for our stay in Crantock.”

The property had plenty of space for the family and really good facilities for relaxing, cooking, showering etc. We had 6 adults and 2 children in the party and it would be a property we’d use again. A great place, great location and within walking distance of the beach and local pubs. Highly recommended.

- Daniel, May 2023

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. it sounds like you had a great holiday - we are so pleased you like Crantock, as we love it too! Property Owner
Daniel April 2023

“This is the third time we have rented this property and would definitely rent again.”

Highly recommend.

- Daniel, April 2023

Thank you - we really appreciate your feedback and are pleased that you have enjoyed staying at Offshore enough to return each time. We hope you had a lovely week in Cornwall and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Linda September 2022

“We love Crantock and we love this house.”

Offshore is a bright, spacious, comfortable house with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. There is a reason why we keep coming back year after year!

- Linda, September 2022

Thank you so much for this feedback! We value your loyalty and are so pleased you love Crantock and the house ....... look forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner
Diane September 2022

“We have stayed many times at Offshore and we love it.”

It’s a very comfortable home from home which suits our families needs perfectly. The house is well equipped with lots of kitchen utensils and plenty of crockery should you choose to eat in. The lounge is comfortable and as it’s all on one level downstairs was safe for the youngest member of our family . Upstairs the bedrooms are light and airy and having an en suite and a family bathroom was really useful. The location is also ideal as it’s only a short walk in to Crantock and the beach. We’re already booked in for next year and can’t wait!

- Diane, September 2022

Thank you so much for your positive feedback - we very much value your loyality and look forward to welcoming you again next year! Property Owner
Nicola July 2022

“We had a very pleasant stay.”

The house was spotlessly clean, very spacious and well equipped. Couldn’t fault it. Brilliant location for Crantock beach and local pubs. Loved it. Would recommend.

- Nicola, July 2022

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are really pleased you had a pleasant stay and hope to be able to welcome you back next year. Property Owner
Hayley April 2022

“Details on the property page differed from details emailed by Sykes, such as check in time and check out time.”

Most importantly, the keysafe number was NOT the number emailed by Sykes. Also, we were told after booking that we had to pay £150 damage deposit on arrival- this was annoying as we had already paid a lot, including extra for the dog, but in fact we were not asked to pay deposit on arrival. All annoying little administrative things. The house was great. Odd residential location, but handy for village and beach. Car parking was tight for 2 cars, so not sure who would fit a third on the drive as oer the listing!

- Hayley, April 2022

We're sorry that there were a few admin issues with your booking and have updated Sykes with the key safe number and the fact that we don't request a deposit any more. Our new hedge at the front has taken up some of the drive space, which does make it suitable for only 2 cars at most now. Hopefully you enjoyed your holiday and liked Crantock as much as we do. Property Owner
Debbie December 2021

“Really lovely and spacious house.”

The kitchen was great to cook Christmas dinner in it had everything we needed.

- Debbie, December 2021

So pleased you liked our kitchen, which we had great fun planning! It was fitted by our neighbour who did did brilliant job! Property Owner
Diane September 2021

“Offshore is a fabulous holiday home with everything we needed for our stay.”

We have stayed here several times and it is always a joy to return. Always spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Well equipped and close enough to the village and beach.

- Diane, September 2021
Debra August 2021

“This property is the best we have ever stayed in.”

Everything was tip top , 100% perfect in every way. Fabulous house, fabulous holiday.

- Debra, August 2021
Sarah July 2021

“Fantastic accommodation, perfect for a family or two families.”

Only marked down slightly as the beds and coffee table weren’t moved and hoovered under, which we did ourselves on arrival.

- Sarah, July 2021
Lynette June 2021

“We had a wonderful time in an extremely comfortable cottage, the only consideration I would have is a clock in the living room, other than that I could not fault it.”

It is a lovely house with everything you need, would definitely recommend a stay here

- Lynette, June 2021
Linda May 2021

“We’ve stayed at Offshore a number of times and we absolutely love this house.”

It’s beautiful, bright, comfortable and equipped to a high standard with luxury fixtures and fittings. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crantock, Offshore and Sykes Cottages to family, friends and colleagues.

- Linda, May 2021
Annette October 2020

“We loved the holiday cottage.”

A great location for many great walks. Very dog friendly

- Annette, October 2020
Diane September 2020

“We have stayed at Offshore before but have been especially impressed this year.”

The kitchen has been refurbished and is absolutely gorgeous. It has got to be the most well equipped holiday home we have stayed in and all items are excellent quality. The whole house works for our family of 6 adults and has plenty of space. The garden is enclosed so dog friendly too. We thought the cleanliness was excellent, especially this year with the extra precautions. It is our home from home and will be returning again next year !

- Diane, September 2020
Lesley December 2019

“We stayed at Offshore for the Christmas holidays.”

The house is super and has everything you need, a real home from home. I would definitely recommend this cottage it was a fantastic stay. I would like say a special thank you to the owners for looking after us when we had a problem with the cooker we really appreciated your hospitality.

- Lesley, December 2019
Stuart November 2019

“Offshore is located brilliantly with easy access to wonderful beaches, good pubs and an excellent village shop.”

It is very well equipped and presented spotlessly. My only slight disappointment is that there used to be a winter reduced occupancy discount, which appears to no longer apply with Sykes.

- Stuart, November 2019
Barbara November 2019

“The house is very clean and comfortable and well equipped.”

The photograph must have been taken when the house was built because the garage pictured is now a bedroom and the drive looks a lot bigger in the picture which made it a bit confusing trying to find it on arrival. We were also given the wrong key code by Sykes so it was fortunate that we spoke to the house manager.

- Barbara, November 2019
Carly October 2019

“Amazing holiday home, everything that you would need is there for you.”

Located in a small cup-de-sac, we used the home as a base and went all over Cornwall. Will definitely be returning next year.

- Carly, October 2019
Richard August 2019

“Such a wonderful retreat - perfect for exploring Crantock and Holywell Bay stunning Atlantic rollers And sand dunes !”

The only drawback was that not enough provision for recycling and normal waste Badly needs several Wheelie Bins !

- Richard, August 2019
Theresa August 2019

“The House wasn’t set up for 4 pm arrival and the property manager came around 4.”

30 to 4.45 to put in toilet rolls, bring replacement duvet etc. I reported to her the extractor in en suite wasn’t working which she said would get sorted, it turned out both bathroom extractors didn’t work. The house could do with a real good deep clean, we were all sneezing from dust and under beds and sofas was really bad, the lounge also smelt of dog, yes I have dogs but mine don’t smell like that. The grass wasn’t cut in the garden and as such made it difficult to clean up after the dogs, there was also a large plant over growing the front path which made it difficult to get a buggy past. Just a few irritations but paying 2k for a week , I did really expect it to be perfect. I know these issues could have been sorted but after reporting the extractors to the manager, we didn’t really want people coming in and out during the week to sort issues, this should have been done before we got there.

- Theresa, August 2019
Jonathan July 2019

“Offshore is a beautiful house very comfortable and clean.”

The facilities are good quality and having the garden was great,we would love to go back.The only small fault is new chopping boards are needed.Well done the owner.

- Jonathan, July 2019
Diane May 2019

“This is a fantastic property.”

Perfect for a family or even a group of friends. Well equipped and very comfortable. Within a reasonable distance of the beach.

- Diane, May 2019
Sarah April 2019

“Offshore is comfortable and well equipped.”

It has been tastefully decorated and is in a fabulous location. On sunny days the garden is sheltered and private and a great space to relax in. We had a great week and will certainly be back.

- Sarah, April 2019
Maria December 2018

“This property was very good, we did pick this particular cottage because it had a downstairs bedroom and we had an older couple with us.”

However there was little room for them to get in and out of bed so perhaps twin beds would be a better option in this room. Overall the standard of accommodation was very good, local people very friendly. It is well worth mentioning the xmas lights in the village as well as having them up in the cottage was a lovely added bonus.

- Maria, December 2018
Marina September 2018

“Offshore was clean and spacious, the decor was light and airy the cottage was also well equipped.”

It was also well placed for days out around Cornwall, the village of Crantock is very pleasant with a two pubs that also serve food and a beach that is superb.

- Marina, September 2018
Patricia September 2018

“This was a late booking and consequently I thought there may have been last minute hitches, but are glad to report that everything went smoothly.”

The property (Offshore) is a gem, it had everything we could possibly wish for and although we did not cook a single meal whilst we were there, the facilities were superb and there was not a thing we could think of that not been supplied. The accommodation was in a quiet vicinity but close enough to all amenities you could wish for. Thanks to the staff at Sykes for there help in all matters, this was the first time we have used this company but will certainly not be the last.

- Patricia, September 2018
Gary and Karen June 2018

“Very nice clean property ,large bedrooms and living space.”

Ample outdoor space .Was a little worried when arrived to find building work going on next door but did not need to builders very considerate .Seems a petty request but could do with a new can opener . We had a fabulous holiday and would return .The stone family and Brie the dog

- Gary and Karen, June 2018
Diane June 2018

“This is our third stay at Offshore and it is a really great cottage for a family holiday.”

The cottage is well equipped for a self catering stay having plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans, utensils etc. There is also a washer, dryer and dishwasher so there is everything you need for your stay. We had three couples in our party and found the sleeping arrangements perfect for us - 2 good doubles, one en suite and one family bathroom upstairs, plus another double and a cloakroom downstairs. There is a fourth bedroom upstairs which was made up as a double but can also be a twin. There is a good amount of storage in most of the bedrooms. Only the downstairs bedroom seems to lack hanging space but this didn’t cause any issues for us. So Offshore works well for a number of groups. The lounge is spacious with 2 settles and 2 armchairs and has sliding doors to the garden. The garden is fully enclosed so it’s great for anyone with dogs like us, as we knew they were secure. The house is located a short walk from the village shop and pubs and of course the beach. There is space on the drive for 2 cars - a real bonus in Crantock. The village is only small but has 2 pubs, a tea room and village shop which is well stocked. The shop is also a post office. The beach is beautiful and you can even walk to Newquay from here. A perfect base for visiting North Cornwall. We have already booked for 2019 so that says it all really.

- Diane, June 2018
Linda May 2018

“Another fantastic break in this well equipped and comfortable holiday home.”

Would certainly recommend to family, friends and colleagues and can't wait to come back!
