Amazing location. Big place with three very large bedrooms two of which have views. Really enjoyed our stay here and hope to come back some time soon. The decor is not super modern, but we didn't mind. The place was great and the walk from the place down to the river, across the river, down to the beach and back up the headland was a real joy.
Julie
Loved watching the Gannel Estuary completely fill & empty every day, Crantock bay is stunning. The house was very comfortable & in a great location for exploring the coastline, we explored from Padstow to St Ives & lots in between, nowhere very far away.
Janette
Both The Gannel & Fistral beach within easy walking distance. Great walking for dogs. Views outstanding. Property very clean. Great evening entertainment with table tennis, carpet bowls & several games & cards. We got quite competitive. Only thing I would have liked would be a dishwasher.
