Property Description

Holiday home
Kittiwake is one of the three Seaspray cottages based in West Pentire. The two-bedroom cottage boasts fantastic views over the Goose Rock to the Newquay coast, perfect to look at whilst enjoying your breakfast on the patio. The living area of the cottage has been recently renovated to create an open-plan living/dining and kitchen area, which is light and airy with modern coastal decor. The cottage is decorated in neutral tones with splashes of colour in each room to give it a fresh, contemporary feel. Although not completely on one level, Kittiwake is still suitable for guests who can manage a few stairs, as the staircase is not very big. The Seaspray cottages are a five-minute walk from Crantock Beach and about the same to Polly Joke (Porth Joke) Beach, making it a family or surfers haven. A few minutes' walk away is a pub, serving food and drink with the same fantastic view, as well as a cafe/bistro offering brunch, lunch and dinner, as well as coffees and cream teas. Crantock village is only a five-minute drive away, where there are two more pubs, a Londis grocery store, post office and other village attractions. Outside Kittiwake, guests will benefit from exclusive use of a patio and lawned area that boasts views over Crantock Bay.

Accomodation Details
Over two floors: 1 x first floor double. 1 x first floor twin. Open plan kitchen/sitting/dining area. Sitting area with sofas. Dining table seating 4. Family bathroom with power shower cubicle, sink, WC, heated towel rail, storage.

Area
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, as well as National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, plus attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.

We stayed at Kittiwake with our 2 dogs in February. The location is wonderful with a view of the sea. This is a great dog friendly property which had all we needed, very clean and very comfortable. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and have already booked our next holiday at Kittiwake with our dogs.

The bed in the master bedroom was lumpy on one side and gave us backache.. The mattress needs replacing.

Building works at adjacent Goose Rock hotel look like they may be going on for some time and may affect vehicle access when site is operating, as well as creating noise and dust.. We had been made aware prior to going - fortunately the site was not operating during our visit. Others will not be so lucky.

It's our second visit to Kittiwake, and we love it! Perfect location, very comfortable accommodation, well equipped, clean, easy parking, with excellent accessibility to the beach, and Crantock village with a well stocked village shop and coffee shop. We enjoy lots of walking on the coastal paths, either North or South, all the beaches are dog friendly, so being able to take our dog just adds to the enjoyment of the holiday. Crantock is a wonderful place, away from the crowds of Newquay, with a large sandy beach, but also there's the very special Polly Joke Beach, if you prefer a smaller sandy cove. CBay, and the Bowgie Inn, are great for having a drink or meal, overlooking Crantock Beach. Perfect holiday, can't wait to go back!

We loved our stay in Kittiwake - it is a beautifully thought-out cottage, well equipped with lovely personal touches and lots of care gone into it.. The location is stunning and we had a wonderful week. I had one point to make - as noted by Sykes Cottage just a few weeks before our stay there was a significant amount of building work going on. The builders were pleasant and polite but they arrived at 7am and were working hard all day with all the noise and equipment that necessarily entails. There were various vehicles going up and down the side of the property including diggers, trucks and cars and also a flow of people. This intruded on our time both in the house as we could hear them from very early in the morning and in the garden. I must stress it was not their fault but it did have an impact on the peace and quiet seclusion of the property which was one of the prime reasons we booked it. We also had small children with us and it was not ideal to have them in close proximity of moving vehicles when getting them in and out of the car. I wondered if there was any possibility of some form of compensation for this intrusion. Other than that I have nothing but positive feedback for this delightful place. thank you

We absolutely loved Kittiwake and Crantock as a holiday destination.. We have two teenage boys, so the location allowed us all to be independent, and come and go as we pleased, with such easy access to the beach, and other coves, as well as the coastal paths for some great walking. Our dog Midge had a fantastic week, but was exhausted by the end of it! We hardly moved the car all week, which was a real treat. The accommodation was clean, and comfortable, with a real seaside feel in it's colours, the way it was furnished and accessorised, the space was well thought out and really sociable, with fabulous views out to sea. We enjoyed the garden and patio area (again with the wonderful view), all beautifully kept. The window cleaner and gardener visited while we were there. We've already recommended it to others, and would love to go back.

We thought the cottage was beautifully decorated and furnished very well.. The washer dryer, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and the power shower were all excellent and very much appreciated little extras! We had a wonderful holiday, mainly due to the lovely accommodation and the beautiful location!

Great sea view and nice garden but not fully enclosed if you have a dog that wanders.. Loved cottage and was worried as normally like staying right in village, but would definitely book this cottage again.

The new bathroom is lovely and the water was always hot when needed..
