Crantock Lodge

This was our second stay at the property and we love it.

I was very surprised by the negative reviews regarding the dark living room, although it might not be to everyone’s taste if is very much as the picture and if you open the blinds it is lovely and sunny. The sofa are comfortable although a little low. Personally I love the decor and find it fresh and clean. The property has everything you could need should you wish to cook, the beds are comfortable and large. The location is great, although the house is in the village it is hidden by trees so is private and quiet. (Although some previous negatives comments from some one saying they couldn’t find the property we found it straight away but then we always google maps properties before we stay). (It’s is across the road from the village hall next door to the newish estate) It is not only a walking distance to the local shop and pubs it is a ten minute walk to the beach too, so there are no worries about trying to park down at the beach. The cottage next door sells the most delicious jams and sells fresh eggs. The decking at the back is private and sunny. My only negative comment would be there could be more storage for clothes, as a family of 3 it was ok but I imagine if the property had the full 6 people in it would be harder. I’ve recently seen this property is for sale, I really hope the new owners continue it as a holiday cottage as we would definitely be returning. Xx

Having stayed in many properties in Crantock over the last 10yrs this is the worse one, having spent 45 mins locating the property on arrival because the house name plaque was overgrown, the windows and sills looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months!

! The bread bin literally needs to be in the bin.The patio was very untouched,overgrown not swept, the fence falling down, dirty carpets (should have hard flooring for cleanliness).Not impressed and definitely not worth the £ that we paid. Would not recommend until the above is dealt with………

The property could do with repainting in some areas but overall adequate.

The main issue we have is the settees and in particular the lone armchair which it tatty to say the least and needs more than a loose blanket type cover. The 2 settees are uncomfortable and very difficult to extract your body from .due to the leather upholstery and very low settees . We have stayed there four times (8 weeks) in total but unless changes are made in the lounge it is likely to be out last.

Cottage great location 5 mins stroll to Pub and 10 to the beach

Just returned from crantock lodge, we have had a lovely week.

My only concerns are that the living room furniture is nothing like the furnishings in the listing advert. The room is very dark and the sofas are really low hard and uncomfortable. The overall look of the living room is very dated. We booked crantock lodge because the photos looked very good but in truth was disappointing. Also the door handle between the kitchen and bedroom hallway came off in my hand first time we used it. Glad there was only two of us staying because if there had been 6 the other two bedrooms were very small. Think new photos should be posted on advert to show how it looks now not when first listed.

Lovely stay.

The only thing we would mention is that the parking isn't really for 2 cars - we only managed to fit our cars in the space by boxing one in.

We had the most wonderful week at Crantock lodge.

Everything you need is within walking distance; shop, beach, pub, café. Also perfect that the neighbour sells fresh eggs and jams! The home was beautiful and we actually stayed here in May 2022 for our honeymoon. In that time the decking is still the same but I think it would really benefit with some updating, as when wet it is incredibly slippy and was a bit of a worry with our children. Also we couldn’t open the main window bathroom, due to a key being snapped in the lock, so we had to try ventilate it as much as we could. Apart from those two little things, it is absolutely stunning and I would recommend to anyone.

Our stay with a toddler.

Toddler safe and only two small steps to contend with. Unfortunately we found the bed very uncomfortable in the master bedroom (too soft and creaky) so we were constantly worried we would wake little one up in the travel cot. The curtains aren’t blackout in the bedrooms which could be an issue for some. Bathroom was a tight squeeze for room with our toddler. The photos need updating as sadly the sofas are small very worn and uncomfortable leather sofas not like the comfy ones shown. Decking area is such a sun trap but agree with other reviews it all needs a good jet wash to remove green residue from the furniture so we couldn’t sit on it and the decking is slippy when wet also residue of dog mess between the grooves. Might be an idea to put a gate at the front walk way and insist dogs toilet at the front only. However all being said we did have a great stay because of the location and space of the property. Two gorgeous pubs, jam jar is a must for pizza and brunch or a scone. Play area tucked away behind the village hall and beach is walking distance. A welcome package would have been nice along with some extra towels and toilet roll. So much storage in the house but no games, pack of cards or any toiletries so bring your own shampoo etc. no cooking oil or sugar in the kitchen. We would book again but maybe once some deep cleaning and updated furniture :)

A nice place to stay.

Heating a bit difficult to understand. Have stayed here several times over the last few years but l feel the the furniture is not very comfortable and needs updating

What a charming bungalow in the beautiful village of Crantock.

Fantastic location for everything, bus stop outside, Village pub and shop a 5 minute walk and Newquay and Perranporth only a short drive away. The cottage itself was lovely and well thought out, had everything you could possibly need for a 2 week stay with the bonus of an enclosed garden and two parking spots. My only small bit of feedback would be the sofas in the living room, as none of us found them comfortable to sit on. They are very low, pretty hard and my elderly parents really struggled to get on and off them. That said everything else was perfect and the beds were really comfortable. Thank you for a lovely couple of weeks, Crantock is now one of our favourite villages in Cornwall!

The property was lovely more than we expected there were a few areas we think could have been improved, (this would not affect us staying again, overall we thought the place was really cosy and perfect for our fur babies), paint missing off wall in en-suite bedroom would be a quick fix, all coasters on arrival were grubby and had ring marks, we didn’t use them they just need replacing and the work surfaces are all ring mark stained need sanding and re varnishing.

The decking needs jet washing just very slippy due to residue build up over winter months, again a quick fix. Honestly other than that the place was clean in the main areas we needed, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen and that is most important for us! We will definitely be back. Loved how the place was decorated we can see they have definitely made it a home from home and we felt very comfortable. Thanks

A really lovely bungalow with a huge master bedroom.

With the log burner and storage heaters this property is never cold. It’s so near the village and easy to walk to the beach, 2 pubs and convenient store. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need and the neighbour sells lovely eggs. Would definitely recommend this property.

Great home and location, massive master bed room with ensuite, second bedroom good size both with super king size beds, third bedroom little smaller with a double bed.

Vey homely feel throughout the cottage, spacious kitchen dinner and very nice family living room. 4 adults, 1 child and a dog stayed and plenty of room for all. Crantock very friendly for tourists, 2 very nice pubs, a outside cafe/pizza shop/bar and a shop all a 5 minute walk away. Fresh eggs available from the house next door! Crantock beach about a 10 minute walk and West Pentire about a 10/15 minute walk.

Excellent lodge in the best location in the village.

We had everything we needed for a great holiday and the owners were so lovely and helpful. We would definitely love to stay here again.

Property had everything we wanted / needed and the location is fantastic.

The kitchen cupboards were a bit dirty and needed a wipe over, hence the slightly lower 'score' but I'd definitely book this cottage again

We had a lovely stay at Crantock Lodge.

It is a very cosy, comfortable holiday property. It is in an ideal location to visit the many beautiful coastal towns and villages of Cornwall. Crantock Lodge is in walking distance of a lovely beach about a 10-15 minute walk, partly steep. Take a trolley if you have lots of items to carry. Three double bedrooms, however one is very small with very little room around the bed. Parking is for two cars only, best to reverse onto the drive as the property is on a road that is busy during the day. You have to leave access to the house behind Crantock Lodge at all times.

Great location x been staying in crantock for 25 years using Sykes cottages for past 7 years in various properties.

Property lovely but needs a thorough cleaning to rear garden. We had a problem with a mouse in the kitchen in wall cavity that kept us awake at night and drove our dog mad. Sykes cottages dealt with matter very quickly and owner of cottage came out with pest control who put a bait box outside in rear garden. Unfortunately the mouse was not caught so the sleepless nights continued!

Found the property well maintained and comfortable.

Parking was a plus Just a couple of things - oven racks were not clean - outside garden needed a bit of TLC - lack of cushions and umbrella for the outside furniture to make it more comfortable to sit out when it’s warm and sunny Overall the property was very good and we had a lovely stay.

This is a nice clean well appointed property in an excellent location, just a few minutes walks from Crantock beach.

The property is on a main road so there is some traffic noise. There were strange noises throughout our stay, reported to the agents, possibly rats under the floor boards and possibly birds in the loft space. This was very disturbing, at times, particularly to our dog. The main en suite bedroom is lovely and spacious but the other 2 bedrooms are rather small. The internal doors are not well fitted and some of them do not close properly. The door handles are very squeaky which can disturb other guests at night time.

The property was exactly as advertised.

It was spacious, clean and comfortable . The only issue we had was the lighting. My husband especially found reading in the evening difficult as the main lights are quite dim. There is a reading light, but this could only be used by one person at a time. It would be nice brighter lamps could be provided, or LED bulbs replacing the low energy bulbs. That was the only minor issue we had. It was chilly when we visited in April but the property remained warm and cosy. Would definitely book again in the future.

Lovely property with a beautiful spacious bedroom.

We have stayed many times on Crantock and this property is ideally situated for all the amenities. Our two dogs loved the totally enclosed garden. Had an amazing stay and would recommend this property for anyone wishing to stay in Crantock.

Excellent overall, a couple of kitchen door hinges need attention and the door between kitchen and bedrooms does not shut/lock properly.

Apart from those minor faults we have had our third stay at the Lodge and are booked again for September!

Lovely cottage and great location.

Will definitely be booking again.

Excellent cottage, had everything we needed.

The cottage is a very high standard made our stay there even better. Thankyou

A lovely well equipped cottage, nice outside seating area.

Spacious dining/ kitchen. We would definitely stay at this property again.

We loved our stay in Crantock lodge and would stay again it is perfectly situated for the beach and the amenities of Crantock village which we absolutely love ,it was our third visit to Crantock.

We would recommend this property for the location and some little touches made the welcome extra special it was very nice to have tea, coffee & milk for when we arrived.The kitchen is also very well stocked with dishwasher tablets, hand wash , washing up liquid & tea towels provided. It really does make a difference . We only had a couple of tiny issues the property picture needs updating there is no grass for pets (ours wouldn’t go on patio /decking has he thinks it’s part of the inside the house

The furniture and mirror In the bedrooms could be improved and the duvet in one of the rooms was stained (had to inform the property manager ) who also stated the cleaner mentioned a stain on another pillow case in a different room was stained but still left it on!

!! The position of the cottage was excellent - but 2 of the rooms were not doubles

On arrival we did struggle to find the property as there is no clear sign.

It is actually in front of the property called The Curlews. The only other thing was we were left no cleaning products for general cleaning ie bathroom or kitchen spray. The property is lovely very comfortable, clean and homely. The outside space is ideal and peaceful. Crantock is a beautiful little village and the beach is stunning. Would definitely recommend, and will return.

Apart from the low sofas ,the 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crantock lodge and look forward to returning in October.

Great quiet place to stay at & is our second time in this property.

Love the closeness to the beach & local amenities. Both my husband & I found the master bed uncomfortable but perhaps personal choice of mattress firmness. My only feedback is around recycling, which I’ve seen commented on here. This still isn’t an option & feel this should be prioritised. It’s not good enough to not have in place. We need to ensure we play our part in ensuring we are all doing our bit for the environment.

We enjoyed our stay generally.

However it is not really acceptable in 2023 to not provide recycling and claim it is ‘too complicated’ to explain to guests. You have a responsibility for your own environmental impact in the tourism industry just like everyone else.

We absolutely loved our stay at Crantock Lodge and look forward to booking in the future!

The location is brilliant and the cottage is a great size. My husband, myself and our Labrador had plenty of space to relax, however the sofas were so uncomfortable and very small. For a cottage that can sleep 6 adults the sofas would not have fit more than 4. The TV was also on the small side but was fine for the few nights we stayed in.

Property was perfect, a real home from home ( I'd live there tomorrow).

The decor, furnishings and kitchen bits and bobs were top-notch. Some previous guests may have had a whinge about sofa etc but in my opinion you couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

The layout was strange.

The bedrooms cramped and a smell of damp from one bedroom. The shower shattered whilst we were there due to rot and despite cuts and bruises we did receive a swift and positive response from the maintenance team.

1 of three bedrooms is just not a double room,cannot even walk beside the bed .

The lounge furniture was very different from photos also not enough seating for 6 people one of our party had to sit on a dining room room chair to be part of the group. The television reception was also very poor you could only watch bbc 1 or 2 . The location was perfect but the overall stay at the cottage was very disappointing

Comfy, warm cottage in a lovely village not far from a fabulous beach.

Love the area which is easily accessible with much to see and do throughout the year.

Second time at crantock lodge, again it was excellent.

It was immaculately clean, with very comfortable beds and access to the patio area which was enclosed for our dogs. The position is ideal in a lovely village and with easy access to Newquay. We will return for a third visit.

Lovely bungalow, felt real home from home.

We had a fabulous stay, very well equipped had everything that we could have wanted. Situated really well for exploring Cornwall and Crantock it’s self. Would definitely return and recommend.

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.

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.

The pictures make the property look a lot nicer than it is - the sofas in the living room are not the same - they are much smaller and uncomfortable and do not sit 6 people.

All of the furniture in the living room and dining room is very tired and grubby. The master bedroom was really lovely apart from the fact it had a really bad damp smell...even after opening windows and spraying air freshner this smell did not go away. Location of the house was perfect - close to the beach and the pubs. The kitchen was very well equipped.

Very disappointed with 2 bedrooms, 1had only room for a double bed, when clearly it should have a single bed plus a wardrobe.

The 2nd bedroom had no wardrobe/chest of drawers, a single chair had to be removed to make room to walk around the bed. The mirror is so distressed, you can only see an outline in it, completely unfit for its purpose. The one piece of furniture in there was of no use for storing clothes etc. We enjoyed the rest of the house, but overall the lack of space in the bedrooms was a big problem.

Enjoyed our stay at Crantock Lodge, well equipped, clean and homely bungalow, will definitely book again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crantock Lodge.

The house is very comfortable. The kitchen is of a lovely quality and well stocked with equipment. The garden was safe for our dogs. Walks to the beach, walks over the headland etc were fabulous. Crantock beach is one of the best but there are plenty of other beaches close by. We loved it all. We did have to move the sofa away though and at an angle as we kept tripping over the hearth.

Perfect base for our holidays.

Crantock Lodge is lovely - lovely inside and well equipped. perfect location just 10 mins walk to the beach. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are quite small, not a lot of room around the beds but was fine for our stay. Cant fault the place though and would definitely return

Just had a wonderful holiday with my family for my birthday in crantock lodge.

Beautiful and homely from the moment you walk through the door. So clean and lovely decor all through the lodge. Fully equipped kitchen also. There was a vase of lillies on the kitchen table that were lovely and welcoming and smelled amazing all through the house. We brought our 2 dogs so the back garden was nice and very safe for them. The whole lodge has a beautiful vibe. The local shop Pubs and beach are a stone throw away. I didn't want to come home when our break was finished. Just perfect.

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.

A lovely house in a lovely location, very well equipped kitchen everything you can possibly need.

Lovely private patio area. Great communication with the property manager who sorted out a permit to park our third car in the village hall car park across the road. Would highly recommend it, perfect spot to base yourself to explore the delights of Cornwall, only a 15 minute walk to the beach. Would definitely stay at Crantock Lodge again.

A very welcoming and cosy cottage, everything about Crantock Lodge is great.

Great location and a great base should you wish to discover stunning Cornwall. Very well finished cottage with everything you should need. Crantock as a village is beautiful, with a local shop which sells amazing pasties and more, two great welcoming pubs in the Cornishman and Albion spending a week there you almost feel a local and definitely don’t want to go home.

Amazing Location, very close to Newquay!

We loved Crantock Lodge, it was great space & really well equipped for 4 of us + dog.

Lounge, bedroom & en-suite were as good as we've seen. Would definitely recommend. However some attention needed to kitchen floor & if advertised as "dog friendly" with a surcharge we expected dog access to whole house, not restricted to living areas (or this should be explained on the booking information). To be picky, half of the TV channels were pixelated & I couldn't work out how to re-tune & pillows were too firm for some of us. Those little niggles didn't stop us from really enjoying it overall.

Genuinely the best property we have stayed in during a UK holiday.

It’s perfectly located near to the beach & local shop & is set in a lovely little village. The kitchen had quality range of cookware & utensils along with lovely touches such as coffee, milk etc for our arrival. The house was immaculately clean & very cosy. Any pre-questions I had before arriving were quickly answered. Would definitely recommend & will be coming back!

The best accommodation we have had over the past 18 years with Sykes.

Position in the village, proximity to Newquay and dozens of other places of interest was outstanding. Have already booked again for 2022

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.

The house is very well equipped in the kitchen, however a dryer would have been appreciated as we had a few wet days and it was hard to get things dry.

The sofas were a little on the small side as the house can accommodate 6 people.

We had a brilliant stay in this amazing cottage.

It was beautiful, clean and we had so much room. We all said we could live there! Fantastic location and the most fully equipped kitchen we've ever had on holiday. We even tried to book the same week for next year but it was already booked and we can understand why. Will definitely come back here when we can though!

Very nice accommodation, we always stay in Crantock when visiting cornwall and this is one we would book again, very good facilities and close to everything in the village centre.

Nice relaxing holiday plenty to see and do Would definitely go to Cornwall again

We had a lovely holiday at Crantock Lodge.

The cottage was clean and comfortable and in a great position within the village!! Within walking distance of the beautiful beaches and coves and there is a great pub in the village serving excellent ale and food!! We will hopefully be back soon, thank you x
