The kitchen is fitted with stainless steel appliances and comes complete with an electric hob, double fitted oven, fridge (with ice box) and washing machine.

The Bolthole is close to the South West Coastal Path, and is an ideal base for those who like to walk a bit further than to the beach and pub. Five minutes walk away is Crantock’s sandy beach which is suitable for families and surfers alike.

Crantock is a small Cornish village set back from the coast close to the popular resort of Newquay. If you want to escape the crowds, yet still be close to the action, this is the place to be. There's stunning countryside all around and lots of pretty villages to explore; however, it is the coast that dominates. Enjoy superb walks along the coastal path over dramatic cliff-tops, or magnificent surfing on beaches stretching from Watergate Bay in the north to Fistral beach in the centre of Newquay and on down the coast. There are a number of golf courses in the area, National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.

    What was always a wonderful place to stay turned out to be even better than we remembered. There really is nowhere else we'd rather be.

  • Martin

    It may be time to have the patio area cleaned as it does become quite slippery after any rainfall.

  • Sarah
