“Second time at Apple Barn, excellent location in the centre of the village with a short walk to the beach.”

Everything you need for a self catering holiday is provided. Would definitely recommend.

“A warm, comfortable cottage in a really nice village with good amenities nearby.”

Very comfortable beds and the owners provided well for a young child. Well organised kitchen and very comfortable sofas. Dining area a bit squeezed and bathroom very tiny for 4 adults. Although it is advertised for 4 there is only parking for 1 car which was difficult for us all.

“Beautifully furnished, comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Lovely quiet location but central to everything in the village and short walk to the beach. Ann is amazing, very friendly and helpful. We have been coming to Crantock for many years and this is the best property we have stayed in.

“Apple Barn ticked all the boxes for us.”

A lovely, clean, bright cottage with two decent sized bedrooms, light and airy downstairs and a pleasant garden to enjoy the sunshine. The solid WiFi met the expectations of the teenager in our party. Handy private parking spot. Very short stroll to the pizza cafe and two bustling village pubs. The magnificent Crantock Beach is within easy walking distance, with its vast sands and great surf.

“A beautiful quiet position up a private driveway, the barn is modern, spotless and very comfortable, the owner and the property manager are both excellent communicators, providing information and assistance very quickly.”

The barn is equipped with everything required to have a wonderful holiday, very comfortable beds, high quality bed linen and towels, comfortable sofas, and good quality appliances, a wealth of storage affectionately integrated into the barn’s infrastructure. A cuisine welcome box was fully appreciated after a long 5 hour journey. The digital information app and guide provided by the owner is an excellent comprehensive practical tool which outlines the affection and devotion the owners have for their property.

“A lovely cottage, extremely well equipped.”

Location is excellent for beach, walks and pubs! We met Ann the house manager who was very friendly and helpful. Only minor negative would be to have more comfy outdoor furniture, but this did not detract from our stay! A great week in Crantock. Thank you

“Our 2nd stay here and hopefully won't be the last.”

Comfy, cosy and very clean cottage in quiet location in the centre of the village. Weather was very mixed so being able to return here was great. We love the Old Albion pub and would recommend Sunday lunch. Other eating places we visited whilst out and about: Poco Loco, Gorse Bakery, pasties from bakery in Cubert, Rems Caff. Ssshhhh.. don't tell everyone as we need to keep it our secret!!!

“We had a wonderful time at Apple Barn.”

We arrived much later than planned on the Friday due to some awful accidents on the M5. We immediately wanted to light the fire but although some kindling and logs there were no fire lighters which we were asked to use. I think it would have been helpful to have left at least one for the first use. The barn was well equipped and cosy and couldn’t fault it. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would definitely recommend.

“Lovely and cosy barn in the centre of Crantock village.”

Good parking for a central location. Very clean with everything you would need. Well equipped kitchen. Good size bedrooms. Very informative E-Guide, best I’ve seen with all information. Lovely housekeeper Ann. Good communication with the owners.

Ian October 2023

“Excellent cottage.”

What I did find that was different to other cottages was the communication from the owners and property manager. I was contacted with very usefull info from both the owner and the property manager in the days leading up to our trip down to Cornwall. They have a purpose made APP dedicated to the cottage and the beautiful village of Crantock with info on places to visit - a real gem of an idea. The cottage itself is prestine and loved every aspect of it. The enclosed garden is ideal for dogs as well. The cottage is literally 2 mins walk to 2 pubs and a lovely cafe - all of these are not to be missed out. The amazing Crantock beach is only around 10 mins to walk to as well. I could go on for ever about this property and village. You won't be dissapointed at all. 5 star holiday cottage :)

- Ian, October 2023
Lee October 2023

“We spent a wonderful week at Apple Barn.”

The cottage has everything you could want and its location is also ideal. The garden is beautiful, the log burner perfect for colder evenings and rhe kitchen fully equipped. I’d definitely book again.

- Lee, October 2023
Eric September 2023

“Beautiful clean, cosy cottage, has a lovely private garden to relax in with a glass of wine/ coffee after a walk along on the beach.”

The location is ideal just short distance from local shop, two pubs and coffee shop . 10 minutes from the beach.We enjoyed are stay very much and will definitely return.

- Eric, September 2023
Susan September 2023

“Outstanding property.”

Location perfect for walking to beach. And cliff top walks with our dog. Crantock village is lovely pubs within walking distance. The cottage was very cosy, some cobwebs around the bedroom windows but nothing a quick broom sweep sorted it out.100,% would reccommed.

Paul August 2023

“We had a lovely holiday stay in Apple Barn and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog.”

Pauline (Housekeeping) was lovely in taking care of us and making us feel welcome and the welcome email and handy app from the owners prior to arrival is a brilliant idea so you have everything at your finger tips if you if you need it. For me this would be 5 stars if it had a larger bathroom and softer mattress in one of the rooms. The current shower room which is just off the kitchen is tiny for a two bed property. Even my 6 foot husband couldn’t sit on the toilet properly because of lack of space which isn’t ideal and could be an issue for even taller occupants. The shower room sink also became quite blocked during our stay, but once the owner was contacted they did say they would sort this straight away before the next guest stay. A lovely place and location to stay. We have stayed in Lavender Barn too before which is across the road and given this is only 1 bed, it feels a much larger property.

- Paul, August 2023

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. After you mentioned the slow draining bathroom sink at the end of your stay we ended up needing to call out a plumber (Mr Muscle wouldn't sort it!). All resolved now and the drain is back to normal - just a build up of sand over time (the only downside of Apple Barn being so close to a beach I guess). Really appreciate your separate thank you email too and for you saying you'd definitely see us again next year! Fingers crossed you can make it back to Apple Barn. All the best. Property Owner

Kirsty March 2023

“Lovely comfortable cottage in centre of the village.”

Lovely big comfy sofas and beds which are a must for us. Smart tv was a bonus. Well equipped. We loved our stay so much we re-booked for xmas whilst there :)

Diane February 2023

“We would highly recommend Apple Barn, have already done so to family and friends.”

Perfect location for anyone wishing to have a relaxing holiday, but also for those wanting a beach or walking holiday. Apple Barn is a property that is definitely home from home, very well equipped and comfortable, the enclosed garden is a real bonus for anyone having a dog. Pauline the property Manager is very welcoming and is always there should you need her. We will definitely be back for future holidays.

- Diane, February 2023
Victoria August 2022

“Very helpful Pauline who we met on arrival.”

Lovely cottage, excellent location with short walk to beach. Only a few pointers, Need better facilities to segregate rubbish within cottage to aid recycling. New place mats required. Current ones are stained. Cooker hood edges sharp and protruding, hit my head a few times. Spot lights within kick board of kitchen units are hanging out and not fixed in situ. Dishwasher doesn’t clean very well and is small for family of 4. Mention of digital tv on cottage specifications but you need your own log in. Everything else was lovely!! Really enjoyed our stay.

- Victoria, August 2022

Thanks for your feedback. We have arranged for an engineer to check the dishwasher, taken a look at the table mats and will also make sure the lights in the kitchen units are fixed in place. Glad you had a nice stay. Take care and hope you see you again soon. Property Owner
Andrew July 2022

“Beautiful little cottage.”

Three pubs/ restaurants within 3 minute walk. Crantock beach is a 10 minute walk away. Amazing place!

- Andrew, July 2022
S and A July 2022

“Apple Barn cottage was a very pleasant and well presented fully equipped cottage, the garden was just perfect with access straight out from the cottage, we had taken our dog with us, this made it a lovely, private place for us to enjoy the sun when we had returned from our morning walking and enjoying the beach.”

The cottage itself was small but very nicely done, the only thing that let it down was that the toilet and shower were down stairs, which wasn’t great if you are someone who gets up in the night, to use the bathroom. For us we would have much preferred to have had no second bedroom and had the bathroom up stairs. This could easily be achieved and it would even be possible to provide both a bathroom and a separate walk in wardrobe room upstairs, should the owners choose to lose one of the bedrooms. This, in our opinion, would make it a much more pleasant stay, as we think if you were a party of more than two people, the property would feel far too cramped. Making these changes would maintain the comfortable environment that exists with just two people staying at the cottage. The only other small issue we had was, that the garden wasn’t secure enough to stop our dog getting through the hedge and out to the car parking area and further. Luckily our dog only did this once or twice and was told off, and as she is a dog that doesn’t like to be in trouble, so she stopped. Though it did mean that we never felt quite relaxed enough to leave her in the garden unwatched, while we were in house preparing food or taking a shower etc. but again this is something that could easily be put right. We would love to see the changes to the cottage that we have suggested, and would be delighted to stay again in the future on many occasions.

“Please can you (and holiday cottage let’s in general) start to swap winter quilts over to lighter summer quilts as we hit summertime.”

We were sweltering in bed. You could maybe set an annual reminder for when to do the switch.

- Peter, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We ordered lighter duvets as soon as you made this request, but unfortunately they didn't arrive before the end of your holiday. The lighter duvets will be ready for you to use should you decide to stay with us again. Hope you had a relaxing break. All the best. Property Owner
Jo May 2022

“Apple Barn is a beautiful cottage in the heart of Crantock village.”

The location was brilliant, and enjoyed many late afternoons enjoying the peace in the garden after spending the day on the beach. We are a family of 4 and 1 dog and would definitely return to this cottage. We were so lucky with the weather on our stay making it an wonderful holiday.

- Jo, May 2022
Michael May 2022

“This is the third time we have rented this property as a couple.”

The electronic guide to the property including working instructions to appliances and the general information supplied is excellent. The property was very clean and the local contact (Pauline) really efficient and helpful. The property is well situated in the village, close to the shop, local pub, and eating places and within easy walking distance of the beach.

- Michael, May 2022
Suzanne April 2022

“Nice comfortable property and in a great location to explore the village and surrounding area.”

The rules around dogs IMO make the property not dog friendly and the owners should review with a view to relaxing. We had to take our dog down the lane for him to do his toilet business…however I do understand that the lawn doesn’t want to be damaged but if a property is dog friendly then this should be accepted. Pauline (housekeeper) was very welcoming and helpful. Few things need replacing - knives (in knife block) weren’t that sharp and the frying pan was well used and not non-stick any more.

- Suzanne, April 2022

Thanks so much for your feedback. We think Pauline is brilliant too!! We will check the knife set + pan asap. We always try to stay on top of this stuff so thanks for putting it on our radar. When it comes to your other comment, we have a dog too and so can understand why you might find it easier to allow your pet to use the garden for their toilet breaks. However, when it comes to dogs, you’ll hopefully appreciate that we have to balance the expectations of and be fair to all our guests. So, whilst we want to make the Barn as dog friendly as possible, we are conscious that people without a four legged friend also stay with us. This is why we ask our guests not to let their dog use the garden as a toilet - otherwise the grass wouldn’t last 5 minutes and there’s the risk of unpleasant surprises being inadvertently left for others to find (we do our best to check the garden on each changeover, but dogs can be sneaky!). For similar reasons, we want to maintain the standard inside the Barn, which is why we request that dogs are kept off furniture etc. Believe it or not, when we stay at the Barn, we follow the same rules and take our dog to the lane to do her business. She is also restricted to a dog blanket on the floor (no matter how much she pleads to sit with us). We hope this explains our rules on dogs. Fingers crossed, both you and your pet feel able to visit us again. Take care and all the best. Family Burton Property Owner

“Charming cottage in a peaceful location but still very handy for Newquay and Supermarkets etc.”

Village store only yards away,what a bonus,and well stocked with good selection of all sorts. Super clean cottage and comfy sofas and beds,quality beds. Well tended little garden ,enough to sit out and enjoy the sun and to bar-be -que,if you want. All in all,EXCELLENT .

“Lovely little place, had everything needed, all the instructions were clear for use of appliances and WiFi code etc.”

Deborah February 2022

“Apple Barn is a beautifully appointed property.”

It is extremely clean and comfortable. There's ample crockery and utensils in the kitchen. The open plan lounge and kitchen makes the house feel bright and airy. The welcome pack and flowers were much appreciated. It's in a great position being only minutes to the pubs and shop. The beach is a leasurely 10 minutes stroll. Allocated parking is a great asset as that could be difficult in the busy summer months. Pauline was helpful and we couldn't fault the property. We did take our little dog with us who would have been able to get through the hedge if left unattended so I would say the garden is not totally dog proof. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.

- Deborah, February 2022
Janet September 2021

“Very comfortable cottage in a great location.”

Would definitely stay again. Excellent communication with Property Manager, Pauline, and also with cottage owner when we needed to sort out a couple of small issues soon after arrival, ie electricity tripping and slow draining shower. Both issues resolved quickly.

- Janet, September 2021

Nilesh August 2021

“Apple Barn is a brilliant 2 bed cottage, really well kitted out and maintained.”

The owner and Pauline both got in touch prior to our stay to ensure a smooth arrival and checkin. The location is excellent, a 10 mins stroll to the picturesque Crantock beach. The village has a couple of pubs a shop and cafe, so local options available although as we went in peak season it was competitive to get a booking to eat anywhere. The washing machine was broken for most of our stay which was an inconvenience but Pauline helped by providing extra towels and a goodwill gesture was offered of a partial refund which was appreciated. Overall, a great stay, helped by a brilliant week of sunny weather. Would definitely recommend.

- Nilesh, August 2021
Greg July 2021

“Apple Barn was perfectly described and presented.”

Pauline was very helpful & would highly recommend this place. It’s a 10 minute walk to Crantock Beach and has parking for 1 vehicle. The only things it is missing is a outside tap and fans for the rooms - it was very warm!

- Greg, July 2021

Yolanda May 2021

“This was a delightful cottage, fully renovated, comfortable, clean and well equipped.”

We felt 100% covid-safe! The garden was lovely and it was even closer to the beach than we had expected. All set in the perfect village. The Jam Jar welcome vouchers were a pleasant surprise and an opportunity to savour some delicious local delicacies. The whole booking process was seamless and we appreciated being able to share the hire with family when we were forced to cut our holiday short. The only thing I missed was an outside tap and hose to wash off the sand before entering. A very lucky find and a must return-to destination if we ever find it available again! Thank you for a splendid stay!

- Yolanda, May 2021
Sue May 2021

“Apple Barn was a lovely cottage.”

Extremely well equipped and super comfy beds. It has a lovely garden to sit and relax in and enjoy the sun. It’s also a real bonus in Crantock to have a parking space for the car right beside the property. The owners have also produced an app which we down loaded prior to our visit and it gave all the relevant information required for the cottage and our subsequent stay. It was excellent to have everything in one place, from directions to get there, right through to departure. No more sifting through the old style manuals left in properties to find information! We had a lovely week, despite a very mixed bag of weather!

The property

Resting in the charming village of Crantock, a stone’s throw from the stunning Cornish coast, is this beautiful two-bedroom barn conversion, Apple Barn.

Crantock beach (National Trust) is just a short walk from the Barn, making it an excellent spot for surfers and beach lovers.

Offering off-road parking for one car and an enclosed garden, Apple Barn is a wonderful choice for hosting your next break with family or friends to Cornwall.

The Barn has a light, bright and contemporary interior throughout, offering a homely cottage feel, with an open-plan living area to enjoy after a fun summer’s day on the beach.

Rustle up tasty meals and snacks in the lovely kitchen, equipped with everything you need for a self-catered stay as well as a washer/dryer for getting any beach gear washed.

For cooler winter months, once you’ve finished your evening meal around the dining table, curl up on the soft seating before the woodburning stove, a traditional feature settled within the fireplace.

Relish relaxing in your own private space to the rear of the Barn where a sunny enclosed garden awaits, complete with a lawned area, a patio with furniture and a barbecue for those balmy summer evenings at the grill.

Discover a ground-floor shower room before heading up to the first floor to find the two lovely bedrooms, comprising a king-size and a twin room, with the latter able to be a super-king-size on request thanks to zip/link features.

Due to its central location, Apple Barn will appeal to those who like to be within walking distance from Crantock’s beach & village amenities, including the local shop, pub and businesses like the surf hire shop where you can pick up a board and test the waves!

The avid surfers will love being just a stone’s throw from Newquay’s epic Fistral Beach where waves have been recorded as reaching 30 feet high, and plenty of surf schools on the shore ready to teach you the skills you need if you’re a beginner.

Embark on an adventure along the coast with the South West Coast Path being the perfect way to explore; head along the West Pentire Peninsula, past The Chick Island where you might spot some seals, continuing southward to the stunning Perranporth Beach and St Agnes Heritage Coast.

Other nearby attractions include Newquay Zoo, Blue Reef Aquarium, Trenance Gardens and Newquay Golf Club.

Enjoy a wonderful stay in Crantock with your loved ones at Apple Barn.
