Cornwall Self Catering cottage, Carpe Diem, Crantock, sleeps 8

Top rated accommodation, close to a brilliant beach , a little noisy being close to the road
Carpe Diem provides first class accommodation in a spacious , very clean modern home. 5 of us were easily provided for in the open plan lounge / kitchen, even the "children's" bedrooms were a decent size and it is in an ideal spot to visit the surrounding areas. We were initially attracted to this site by the " 5 minute" walk to the beach which is a little optimistic as the other review has mentioned. It certainly turns into a 15 minute crawl back up the quite steep hill after a tiring day. With all your beach stuff - boards, wind breakers etc.. and elderly family members or very small children you may finds you still need to take the car down the narrow lane onto the National Trust car park (which fills up fast at peak times) to save yourself such a trek. However the beach is absolutely splendid and well worth a little extra cost. Being right on a junction I did think it was noisy at times however only 2 or 3 people out of 30/40 expressed the same in the review book so maybe we are just used to a little less traffic in general. Overall Crantock is a splendid holiday location

Lovely break in Crantock!
Our stay in Carpe Diem was lovely. I visited with my fianc?, mum, dad, sister and dog. The cottage is well presented, clean and beautifully decorated throughout. They accept dogs and the garden is large and secure. The location is perfect! A 5 minute walk into the village centre and a 10-15 minute walk from the beach. Also a brilliant location to drive to other areas of cornwall as you're not too far from anywhere. Only a 10 minute drive from Newquay. Crantock beach is stunning! Would recommend this lovely rental for any families wanting a relaxing break in beautiful Cornwall.
