“We absolutely loved our stay at The Dunes.”

We couldn’t fault anything with the property or the facilities. Unloading and loading the car was easy around the back of the property. Location being central to the village made it easy to go for food and drink. Brilliant week and hopefully we’ll be back one day

- Brett, August 2024

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Fiona August 2024

“Fabulous stay.”

Ideal location for the walk to Crantock beach and straight across from the village shop. Enclosed garden ideal if you have a dog. Everything you need to cater for yourselves. The outdoor shower is perfect for wetsuits and sandy dogs/shoes.

- Fiona, August 2024

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay Property Owner
Bernard June 2024

“The house was grand, but the parking arrangements were quite off-putting.”

We would like to stay at the house again, but not until proper on-site parking is available.

- Bernard, June 2024

Thank you for comments and we are glad you enjoyed the property. Unforntuantely, due to the property being in a central village location there are limited parking options hence why we provide, free of charge, a permit to park in the village hall. There are no options available to us to provide on-site parking now or in the future. You are able to pull up and unload at both the front and rear of the property. Property Owner

“Second time at The Dunes and the property once again didn’t disappoint.”

The new decking area is a great addition along with the outside shower.

Thank you for your lovely comments, we are glad that you have enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Allison May 2023

“Beautiful property, absolutely spotless and equipped with everything we might need.”

Excellent location over the road from the village shop and a short walk to the pubs. We loved the 1st floor living space and the overall floor plan. We are 6 women who travel once a year together and enjoy walking, the housekeepers set up the beds as 6 singles which was great as in other properties we would need to share doubles. Can’t fault it! Thank you!

- Allison, May 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback, we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! May we take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent condition you left the property in. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Lisa May 2023

“Wonderful location and very clean.”

The reason why I did not give it five stars is because all the shower heads need cleaning.

- Lisa, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback and positive comments therein. With regard to the shower heads, this issue has now been addressed. Thanks again Property Owner

“Thank you xxx We had a wonderful time as usual and with our new Grandson 'Cole'”

Forbes August 2022

“Excellent property, very clean, spotless.”

Everything you need for a holiday. Lovely garden at the back, idea for a barbeque. Thanks Kim for all the hard work you put in. Excellent location in Crantock village short walk to the beach. Shop across the road, plus a pizza restaurant and two pubs.

- Forbes, August 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you have enjoyed your holiday. We will pass on your thanks to Kim too. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner
Anna August 2022

“The Dunes is a decent property however I was pretty shocked to be then chased up a few days after returning home to say I owed a further £40 for bringing our dog.”

We have been coming for several years and have always enjoyed it, but this has left quite a sour taste. I would obviously have happily paid the extra for the dog, but couldn't find anywhere in my account when trying to modify my booking to add a pet, so I assumed it wasn't an extra cost. To then be called and emailed chasing down the extra £40 was not a great way to treat loyal guests who have recommended this place to several friends.

- Anna, August 2022

Thank you for your honest feedback, we were saddened and disappointed to read the comments therein. With regard to your dog and the fee, I understand that Skyes made one phone call and then followed up with an email after being unable to get through. There is a charge per pet due to extra cleaning and time spent when a pet visits. Not everybody (unlike us) are pet lovers and we strive to ensure whether bringing a pet or not, that the property is pet hair and smell free, this takes extra time. On a slightly different note we hope you enjoyed the newly renovated garden, creating a new decking area and furniture to enjoy the cornish sun. We hope that you feel able to return in the future as we value each and every guest. Property Owner
John June 2022

“A lovely little place in nice surroundings.”

We had quite serious car trouble whilst there so spent considerably more time at the property than we would normally do. So feel like we are best placed to say what a pleasure it was to stay. (and of course the bay was beautiful as always) Thanks you. John & Jackie.

- John, June 2022

Thank you for such lovely feedback. We are really pleased that despite car trouble you still had a lovely stay! Rachel and Steve Property Owner
Karen October 2021

“Lovely stay - great location.”

Cottage well equipped and very comfortable. Only negative is no parking - permit only provided at village hall from April to September - limited parking (very tight) for two cars at front of property and one car didn’t move for most of stay and quite congested in road at back of property

- Karen, October 2021
Forbes August 2021

“The house exceeded our expectations.”

We all thought it was a great property. Everything we needed was provided. The property was emaculate. The location was ideal we all really enjoyed our stay.

- Forbes, August 2021
Andrew July 2021

“Lovely comfortable cottage in an ideal location in the centre of the village.”

The parking at the village hall was close by so we booked an additional permit for our second car which we thought was good value at £25 for the week. We especially liked the layout of the kitchen and living area which was really spacious. Plenty of hot water on demand for showers and baths.

- Andrew, July 2021
Caroline April 2021

“We have been to Crantock on many occasions stopping in various accommodation, the Dunes was the best so far.”

It was very clean comfortable in a great location. The kitchen was well equipped with little touches like tea coffee milk and a lovely cake to get you started. There was even dish washer tablets, which we forgot, washing detergent, dog bowls everything you may need. The bed we used on the bottom floor was very warm and comfortable. The roomy lounge was also comfortable but could do with a larger TV for those rainy days in. The garden was small but adequate with lots of seating areas. On the whole we had a great stay. The village and surrounding area is beautiful. Great for walking, dining at the local pubs, having a coffee at local coffee shop, buying essential from shop across the road, catching bus to Newquay which stops less than 2 mins walk away. We would definitely book again.

Nicola Jayne April 2021

“Our 5th time at this Lovely Cottage!”

Fantastic location and lovely property, perfect for a large or extended family. A convenient 5 minute walk to the beach. Pub and shop were a 2 minute walk which was very handy. Bus stop into Newquay 100 yards from cottage door 1 x double bedroom and bathroom on Attic Floor and 1 x double bedroom and bathroom on Ground Floor with the Lounge and Kitchen in the Middle. This makes it absolutely perfect for extended family and friends to enjoy complete privacy. Back in October with my elderly parents. Thank you

Claire September 2019

“Property was ideal and perfect for our needs.”

Location was perfect for the beach and local shop as well as the village pubs. Exactly as listed.

- Claire, September 2019
Hayley August 2019

“The only tiny issue was going to bed on a night and not having a signal on most of the channels on the television and usually the channel we’d been watching on the 1st floor, problem was on the ground floor and the 2nd floor but other than this the Dunes was brilliant.”

- Hayley, August 2019
Karen August 2019

“Excellent stay in this clean and comfortable cottage.”

Close to local shop and pubs and only a ten minute walk to the beach! Only downside was parking 2 minutes away otherwise would have been a 10/10

- Karen, August 2019
Viki May 2019

“This is our second stay at the dunes and it was wonderful both times.”

The house is well appointed and perfectly situated. We loved it!

- Viki, May 2019
Angela May 2019

“Very clean and comfortable holiday accommodation.”

The garden is a lovely little suntrap. We found it convenient for the beach, local pubs and the village shop which is just across the road! Would certainly recommend.

- Angela, May 2019
Sharon May 2019

“The cottage was very well equipped, had everything we needed and more besides.”

Very clean, comfortable accommodation, comfy beds and plenty of space. The only (minor) downside is that there is no parking immediately outside the cottage, although this is available at the village hall car park (permit provided) about 3 mins walk away. Not ideal as we had a baby with us, but the shop is only 40 paces away and does very good pasties! Would highly recommend the cottage.

- Sharon, May 2019
Nicola Jayne April 2019

“Our Third visit to this cottage and this time our Sons came along;; they loved the place as much as us.”

Kim the housekeeper was lovely and it was ready early on our arrival day as we travelled early morning, thank you so much. Already looking forward to booking again.

If adventure takes you further afield, why not explore the popular town of Newquay, home to a range of things to see and do such as its Sea Life Centre and Zoo.

All in all, The Dunes is a lovely cottage in a fantastic location for all of Crantock's amenities.

About the location

CRANTOCK

Newquay 4.5 miles.

Crantock is a small Cornish village, just a short walk from the beach, close to the popular resort of Newquay. 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, it is the coast that dominates. 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. There are a number of golf courses in the area, as well as National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, plus attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.

Note: There is a £40 charge per pet.
Note: This property does not allow less than 7 night bookings.
