Crafthole is a beautiful village in southeast Cornwall, situated on the Rame Peninsula. Sheviock Parish is home to a charming little village with a country pub, a general store, a chapel, a post office, and a community centre. This sneaky village gained notoriety in the 19th century for smuggling rum through the Portwrinkle harbour and up the long and steep hill to Crafthole Methodist Chapel. Portwrinkle is a beautiful seaside village that features a large golf course, sandy beaches, and a historic building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Grade II listed building). There are many wonderful places to visit in the area, such as the bustling city of Plymouth, the charming seaside town of Looe, and the picturesque fishing villages of Millbrook and Downderry. Antony is a small town close by that is a popular tourist destination due to its many tourist attractions, including its gardens, museums, boat trips, and opportunities for hiking and biking along the cliffs.

The cottage was very well equipped with everything you would need for a holiday. Thank you for the cream tea on arrival and the dog treats. The garden is bigger than the pictures with several seating areas and grass for the dogs.
