  Lovely holiday accommodation, very well equipped, a home from home.

  We had one or two minor issues when we arrived, but Tracey, our contact, was very attentive and on the ball, nothing was too much trouble. The garden is secure for dogs and well maintained by the weekly gardener. The sofa's in the lounge were comfortable and so were the beds, the shower was good and it was handy to have two toilets! We stayed for 4 weeks and wish it could have been longer! The village is very pretty, the local shop/post office was an easy short walk, as were the two pubs - our preference was the Old Albion Inn, great food, cosy yet spacious. The beach is a 10 min walk downhill, and when we came back we went up over the dunes from the National Trust car park, it made the climb back up a little easier! The beach is stunning and there is so much to see on the North Coast of Cornwall. The only slight negative is the steps to the front door, it's quite a steep step out from the front door, and for elderly visitors, I would recommend a handrail on the wall that runs adjacent to the steps. But, of all the cottages & bungalows we have stayed in, this was by far the best for comfort and location, and we hope to return one day.

  A lovely house in a wonderful location.

  We stayed here last year and loved it so much we returned. It has a lovely, largely quiet, little garden full of mature plants which are a delight. The gardens and stone walls of nearly every road are bursting with colours in full bloom. The beach is a short walk away, as are the dunes. There are 2 pubs and a cafe/pizza eatery and the village shop is well stocked. Every resident/local we met was really friendly and helpful. (I hope I am the same when we finally move down to Cornwall!) Fabulous for dog owners as there are many walks and dog friendly beaches nearby, all are perfect at low tide, and you don't have to walk along the cliff edges to get to both Polly Joke and Holywell beaches. In June, the poppy fields of West Pentire are simply stunning with the back drop of the sea and beautiful beaches. We realise feedback is largely subjective but there is only one thing on our wishlist for this house and that's bath sheets rather than towels. I imagine during winter months a tumble dryer would be helpful too. Thank you for a lovely stay once again with kind regards

  This is a lovely warm comfortable property.

  The rear gate access is really useful with a dog rather than having to use front door down the steeper steps . Makes it easier to keep sandy paws out of the house .Communications from property manager were prompt clear and friendly thank you Tracey - we will definitely come back. Rear garden fully enclosed for dogs and you can see them while they’re outside from the sitting room. Only niggle as mentioned before someone from the locality ( but not the street we are told ) leaves their car permanently parked across the drive and this makes access a bit more tricky with a bigger car or if you had two cars to park - I think they’ve being doing it for years but we were told by another local lady who it affects that it’s illegal as it’s on speed humps. Crantock is a lovely friendly village and from Keelyn you can walk to the beach 5-10 mins with 2 great pubs and a good store all within a stroll. We are delighted we have found this lovely dog friendly property.

  The cottage was perfect in terms of both location and amenities.

  Luxury interior and comfortable super king size beds. Plenty of space for everything from food to clothes to toys for the little one. Shower and bathroom facilities were excellent. Unlike some other holiday homes there were plenty of cutlery, crockery and plates. They also made the 10/10 factor by adding little touches such as a cream tea, jam and tea and coffee available. Garden is large and spacious and there is a beautiful apple tree in its centre. Great WiFi which connects immediately. Again this is a good feature as the 5G / 4G locally is not good at all. The location is within 15 minutes drive of Newquay, the Healeys cider farm, Lappa Valley and only a 5 min walk to the beautiful Crantock beach with its amazing dunes. Rock pooling can be done at both Crantock and Newquay beaches and Padstow harbour is only half an hour away for crabbing. Perfect location and the best family holiday we have all had. We will hopefully be back again.

  Keelyn was in a perfect location and had all we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

  Less than 10 minutes from Crantock beach, the village shop, pub, and cafe less than 5 minutes away, and a major supermarket less than a 10 minute drive away. There was close and easy access to so many different routes for beautiful walks to other beaches and along the coastal pathways, we would need another week to try them all! The level of cleanliness was excellent and made us feel very safe and confident that all the appropriate covid measures had been taken. The bed was very comfortable, the lounge with a log fire, was a very pleasant place to relax and recover from a fun day walking and playing on the beach in sometimes wet and windy weather. Finally the garden was beautiful and perfectly secure so our dog could run around and we didn’t need to worry about her escaping. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay and look forward to staying again in the future!
