About this 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.

Elizabeth
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.

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.

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.
