“Lovely cottage with very short walk to village with two pubs and a shop and a bus stop outside.”

There is also a coffee shop but not open in November. The cottage was comfortable and very quiet and we were grateful for the milk left for us. It did take me two days to locate the hairdryer which was in a box in the downstairs wardrobe hidden behind the clothes dryer maybe a drawer would be a better option.

“Big thank you to the housekeeper - the property was spotless.”

There was an issue with the cistern leaking in the en-suite shower room. I sent a text at 8.30 a.m. and by the time we returned in the afternoon it had been sorted - excellent response and service. Would have appreciated a starter pack of logs for the wood-burner. As the weather was not brilliant we did not use the outside facilities, but they all looked good. Could imagine spending relaxing evenings on the terrace seating. Excellent location - you can park up and walk everywhere in Crantock and along the coast path. Also good bus service to Newquay and Truro.

Thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are pleased that you reported the issue - we have a great housekeeping and maintenance team who work hard to keep the property to a high standard, so we are pleased it got resolved quickly. Thank you for your note about the logs -we do have starter packs in the winter months, for the wood burning fire, but thought (hoped) that 5th October was a bit early! Hope to see you again.

“My son and daughter in law thought the bed upstairs was uncomfortable but appreciate it is difficult to please everyone.”

It's in a great location and we had a lovely holiday

- Amanda, August 2024

Thank you for your review we are pleased you had a lovely holiday. Apologies regarding the bed - we find it is down to individual preference so we aim to strike a balance and aim for somewhere in the middle when it comes to hard vs soft! Hope to see you again. David and Samantha Property Owner

“The cottage was beautiful and we loved staying here.”

Great location for the beach and walking. Car not really needed unless you want to go further afield but we even took the boat to Newquay and back by bus! Cottage had everything we needed and was very well stocked. Excellent for dogs and were grateful of the stair gate to keep ours downstairs. Great nearby shop and also neighbour’s honesty box supplies of salad and jams and eggs very welcome. Only made an error with the recycling bags; our rubbish was not taken away as we didn’t sort it specifically even though the bags were labelled as mixed recycling.

- Louise, July 2024

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so glad you enjoyed your holiday at Blacksmith’s Cottage. The rubbish issue is noted, we have a new supplier so will check what’s happening - thank you for letting us know. David and Sam Property Owner

“Lovely comfortable cottage.”

Enjoyed the log burner on the blustery days, after a walk on the beach. Perfect family getaway included our four legged friend.

“Lovely cottage with everything you need especially for a winter break.”

The only criticism would be the poor WiFi, we have stayed in crantock many times and this was very poor as we only managed to log in briefly once. Thankfully we have unlimited WiFi via our phones. This also made the tv experience frustrating as we could only get Netflix to work on the tv. You need to update the house managers number as it is disconnected.

- Tracey, January 2024

Thank you so much for your review, we are delighted that you enjoyed your break. As new owners of the cottage, your feedback is very helpful to us. We are in the process of changing the broadband provision to a fibre network, and are updating the handbook. Hope to see you again! Samantha and David, property owners. Property Owner

“Second stay at this idyllic character cottage in a great location.”

Two great pubs, a shop and a great beach within walking distance. Also on a bus route and lots of great walking opportunities. Feels like home from home.

- Stephen, January 2024

Thank you for your review - as new owners of the cottage, it's lovely to get your feedback and hear that you had a great time. Hopefully see you again next year! David and Samantha Property Owner

The property

Blacksmith’s Cottage is a traditional, Cornish-built cottage at the top end of the pretty village of Crantock, opposite Crantock View.

This property was the original Blacksmith’s cottage and dates back to the 1730s, situated in a great location with plenty of parking, the interior design is a modern and light decor, giving the rooms a warm and welcoming feeling throughout.

Inside you will find three well-presented bedrooms: a king-size resting on the ground floor and perfect for those with limited mobility, whilst the first floor provides an extra king-size and a twin with zip and link features so it can be made into a super king-size upon request.

The family bathroom has an elegant bath and shower over, so you can decide how best to prepare for your day.

The ground floor boasts a wonderful open-plan kitchen/diner, with contemporary appliances, so you can easily rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal for the whole family and plenty of seating to enjoy your meals and some quality family time together.

The sitting room is the perfect spot to relax and unwind on the provided sofas, and delight in the Smart TV to keep you entertained.

Outside, there is a south-facing garden to the rear which is on two levels with stone steps linking them.

The higher level has outside rattan corner seating and a fabulous setting with lush tropical planting and lighting.

There is an outside dining area with picnic table and chairs, with the top level being a real sun-trap.

Blacksmith’s Cottage will appeal to those who like to be within walking distance of Crantock village’s facilities, as well as being just a short drive from all of Cornwall’s sporting, leisure and other attractions.

Crantock beach is just a ten minute walk from the property, making it an excellent spot for surfers and beach lovers.

Travel into the thriving seaside town of Newquay for a plethora of attractions, including the popular Newquay beach, where you and your little ones can explore the grounds and visit the animals.

Visit the Tranance Gardens for some scenic walking, whilst the nearby rivers and lakes provide excellent opportunities for you to get involved with a variety of watersporting activities.

Newquay also provides some museums and art galleries for a spot of culture during your trip.

Return to Blacksmith's Cottage for a remote break to the heart of Cornwall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

There are a number of golf courses in the area, as well as National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants.
