  Beautiful property in a beautiful area.

  Due to it being new there are a few more things that are needed to make it perfect. Coffee machine supplied but not even 2 pods there so you can see which ones goes with that machine, theres just so many at the supermarket, we just dodnt know which one goes with that machine. Not even a salt and pepper pot, the cupboards were absolutely bare. We didn't realise we needed to take everything. There was a plate with some tea, coffee sachets, sugar sachets, 2 hot chocolate sachets and a couple of biscuits. We thought they would have some local products like scones, cream and jams as a meet and greet welcome gift, in the fridge there were a few small pots of milk. Let's face it, everyone who comes to Cornwall has a long drive there and it would be nice to have something there when you arrive. Very bare minimum kitchen utensils, could do with a masher for potatoes for example, due to being out of session a lot of places in the evening are closed so we cooked at the lodge. I think if they are going to continue to rent it out during the winter some more kitchen utensils are needed. We had a problem with the heating, they did try to fix it so for 3 nights we were freezing then on the last night it was fixed but went ro the extreme and it was like a sauna. There is no thermostat to control the heat, theres a hub but not even the staff new how to work it, so maybe an easier option would be better. There is no doubt that this is a top quality lodge, it just need tweaking. It looks brand new and it is truly beautiful, but things like the towels could be bigger and better quality to suit the lodge. There is even a wine cooler and a dishwasher (tablets supplied) but no spare bin bags or dish clothes. You don't go on holiday and thunk you need to buy theses things. No pillow protectors, could do with better quality pillows to be fair. Ironing board and iron. Somewhere to hang your washing, either in or outside. We asked for a clothes stand and they gave us one without a problem, they thought the washing machine was a dryer too, if it was we couldn't work it out. Maybe some instructions if it is. No Internet up in the lodge. We used up our data because we are too far away from the signal of the camp site so a booster up there would be great. I have my own business so I need Internet and it is advertised as having Internet just not in the lodge. Bins, very small bin in the kitchen. Could do with bins outside in a enclosed container to put your rubbish in and to be able to recycle better. You have to put your waist in your car and take it down to the main bins. We are not saying we wouldn't come back due to theses small tweaks, we are saying for the price of the lodge to bring it up to standard of the price you are paying. Staff very friendly and very beautiful location.

  The house is generally as described but the two bedrooms are very small and there is insufficient space to unpack and store clothes in each bedroom.

  We stayed with 4 children aged 9, 11, 12 and 14. One of the bedrooms was extremely small and not really suitable for two people to share. The main bedroom is lovely with ample space and a comfortable bed. The en-suite is small but perfectly adequate. The main shower room is in need of some updating. The shower door needs a new seal to prevent water leaking out of the shower when in use- this was a major issue for 4 children using the shower as the floor was continuously soaking wet. The kitchen is a good size and has all the necessary facilities other than a tumble dryer which made it difficult to dry towels and swim suits especially with 4 children. The weather didn’t always permit drying outside so a dryer would improve things considerably. The main lounge is lovely although the sofas are small and it is a tight squeeze to sit 6 people all at once. The Tv does not have freeview channels - it is a smart tv so it’s possible to access all the usual apps. The outdoor space is pleasant enough. It is all decked. There is a large table and chairs, a small bbq and a clothes line. It would be a much more comfortable experience if there were cushions for the outdoor chairs as they are very heavy wooden chairs that aren’t particularly comfortable. Also, a couple of sun loungers with cushions would be a good idea to relax properly in the garden. Overall, we had a lovely holiday at Crantock Lodge and would return as the location is fantastic - very close to the village and beach enabling us to walk everywhere.

  Crantock Cottage is by far the best place we have stayed at in Cornwall.

  It is comfortable, relaxing, very well equipped and finished to a very high standard. We particularly liked the decor in the master suite. Our sons - aged 14 and 22 - loved having double beds to themselves! The outdoor area is just perfect for outdoor dining, being large, private and conveniently located. Our only difficulty was with lack of places close at hand for a quick dog walk without getting into the car, and a lack of pavements in Crantock - both of which were issues for our nervous dogs - but that is not the fault of the cottage itself. We had an issue with the electric hob on our first morning but this was resolved quickly by our being sent a temporary plug-in hob. I believe the owner has a permanent solution in hand. Cranrock itself is exceptionally beautiful, and although busy in high season, it's worlds away from the chaos of nearby Newquay. Dining can be a bit of a problem, so where possible it's advisable to book restaurants well in advance, or turn up early for the Jam Jar pizza restaurant. Make sure you get food in as as back up! Overall, we had a fantastic stay, and we would love to think we will visit again one day.

  This was our second time staying at this property and once again it didn't disappoint.

  We stayed as a family of 6. 4 adults and two children and then a small dog. The patio area outside is lovely to sit out and secure also with a dog. We were blessed with the weather so were able to sit out most nights. There is a small bbq which is available to use. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with utensils and pots/pans etc, there are even dog bowls for use. I've seen other reviews commenting on the smaller 2nd bedroom. It is a little tight in there but is plenty big enough for a night's sleep. There is little storage in the two rooms but the master bedroom has a large double wardrobe so we just used that if needing extra storage. The house is in a great position for walking down to the shop/pubs and beach. It is also opposite the village hall, which has a field and small play park for the children and now some fitness equipment also. Overall we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

  Overall a lovely bungalow, in a fab location close to the local shop, 2 pubs and beach.

  Upon arrival we immediately noticed that the property's sofa was different to the one advertised. The sofa had a very low back and was not very comfortable. The lounge would benefit from two big sofas and a chair, the space can certainly take it. If there were 6 people the party the lounge would not sit 6 people comfortably. Couple of issues in the kitchen, the dishwasher door kept falling down (wouldn't stay ajar) and with it taking the plinth with it. A little bit of maintence needed. The kitchen really could of done with a tumble dryer as there is limited space to put a clothes airer. A couple of the windows were very difficult to open. Both beds 2/3 we very small with no wardrobes, just a couple of hooks. All in all a good property that just needs a little bit of maintenance. Would just say it would suit a family with children, rather than like our party 2 couples and a child.
