Cubert. Renovated 16th C. cottage Nr Crantock Holywell and Polly Joke beaches

Elmar is a large four hundred year old period cottage complete with a massive Inglenook fireplace and bread oven situated in a quiet village location tucked away next to the ancient parish church just a mile away from the sea. The cottage comfortably sleeps four guests in two bedrooms.The bedrooms have just been renovated to expose stone and cob walls and a delightful ancient fireplace in the main bedroom Its character features, wood burning stove and quiet location make it an ideal romantic retreat for couples, including those who want to bring their dog away with them.Perfect for families in the school holidays as well. Two pubs, two restaurants and a general store/Post Office compliment the village. Cubert is well located with easy access to Crantock beach, Polly Joke and Holywell Bay. The attractions of the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lands End are easily reached by car as are the famous fishing villages up and down the coast. The surf capital of Britain, Newquay, is only five miles away with its world famous facilities. Cubert however is more suited to those seeking a more tranquil family holiday with very pretty walks to the beaches including Polly Joke which has recently been voted one of Britain’s best secret beaches. Locally there are two pubs in the village including the picturesque Smugglers Den Inn, a delightful 16th Century Thatched Inn a restaurant and organic bakery. . The Three local beaches are all within walkable distance of the cottage. Holywell Bay and Crantock Beach offer vast sandy bays with dunes, rock pools and caves to explore. In between is the gem that is Polly Joke, a gloriously natural beach surrounded by nothing more than National Trust headlands with a beautiful rugged coastline. For walkers, join the South West coastal path which meanders through the three local beaches before rising up the magnificent headlands on its spectacular journey on this section of the coast. Good shore fishing locally, with charter boats available at Newquay.

Lovely cottage in a thriving community
Well equipped clean cottage. The steps into the bathroom however should be clearly marked as very difficult to see and could be potentially dangerous. Define with different coloured tiling? Good location close to the coast and situated in a village that has good amenities.

Jubilee staycation
This was our second visit to Elmar and we loved it even more the second time. The kids loved having wifi and we enjoyed all the cottages comforts. Cubert is a fab place to stay and was particularly gorgeously decorated for the jubilee. Would thoroughly recommend.

As Lovely as Ever
Me with my 2 adult children plus dog. The cottage is perfect for us: Cubert is an adorable village and close to so much all within a walkable distance: a local shop, great chippy, Crantock and West Pentire only a short drive away with Polly Joke beach. Facilities at Elmar are all there, always clean, with a good size kitchen and bathroom. Central heating, fab log fire and cozy lounge for nights in. Lack of Wi-Fi may put younger families off but being able to switch off isn't a bad thing sometimes. We'll be back very soon, again.
