10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful house in a quiet location with a perfect, secure garden ideal for dogs. The communication from Lisa, the house keeper, was brilliant. The village has 2 pubs within a short walking distance and the beach is 10 minutes walk away. Crantock is a lovely place in the summer but the quietness in the winter months and the great effort that is put into the village Christmas lights makes this a perfect spot for a winter break too."
