“Dale Cottage was probably one of the best holiday cottages we’ve stayed in.”

The location - walking distance to the beach, pub, great pizza restaurant and village shop - was excellent. The cottage itself felt immediately homely with tasteful and welcoming decor throughout. We remarked on the comfort of the beds and the well-equipped kitchen, not to mention the private sunny garden. Parking, also, which is difficult in the village was well catered for via a pair of permits for the village hall car park. Always good to know that there’s a space for your car on return ...

The location - walking distance to the beach, pub, great pizza restaurant and village shop - was excellent. The cottage itself felt immediately homely with tasteful and welcoming decor throughout. We remarked on the comfort of the beds and the well-equipped kitchen, not to mention the private sunny garden. Parking, also, which is difficult in the village was well catered for via a pair of permits for the village hall car park. Always good to know that there’s a space for your car on return from a day out. The whole package really was superb, thank you. Not a complaint but if you’re asking for rounded feedback, there are a couple of things to note. Firstly it was very hard to contact the housekeeper, both before the holiday period to find out the entry arrangements (I even called your offices to check we had the correct number), and also on our day of arrival when we realised we’d mistakenly left home without the key code. In spite of regularly trying to contact Tracey from mid morning, we eventually had to call your offices at five standing outside the cottage in the rain to gain access. I appreciate that mobile coverage is patchy in the area but it would be better if the contact arrangements were more reliable? Secondly, perhaps because of Covid, we couldn’t find a manual. Not a big problem but we were stumped on what to do with rubbish and recycling. We found the key to the locked rubbish bin half way through, but had no idea what to do with recyclables in spite of having colour coded bin bags in the kitchen bin. We noticed recycling boxes outside other properties but couldn’t find one for Dale Cottage. Sorry planet - we ended up just bundling the recycling bag into the general bin! Once again, this is by no means meant as a grumble, just a heads up to help with future bookings. We had a truly memorable stay in this exceptional cottage. Thanks to Tracey, even though we never spoke, the house was immaculate.

“This cottage is beautifully situated in the village of Crantock, within easy walking distance of the local shop, pub and beach where there is stunning scenary and fabulous walking.”

The cottage has everything that you could possibly need for a week away and all of the rooms are comfortable, clean and full of light.
Mr Hayward December 2019

“Really lovely cottage and great location.”

Everything you could need in the cottage and a real home from home. Nice touch with the hamper and the owner even let us know of a couple of issues, that we didn’t even notice which shows the level of presentation in this cottage. Would definitely recommend and would like to book again.
Mr Sellers August 2019

“Pictures and description gave the impression cottage was bigger than it was.”

Not as clean as it could have been. Needs a bit of a make over and tidy up. Kitchen small. Not enough seats in the living room, without sitting on each other's knees. Very disappointed.
Mrs Hilson May 2019

“Crantock is a lovely village by the sea and Dale Cottage is the ideal place to stay.”

Well presented space for a family to enjoy including the dog! All needs covered with a sunny garden to sit and enjoy the the weather after a tiring day on the beach. Scones, cream and jam a welcome gift on arrival. Would recommend a stay.
Miss Quinn May 2019

“Lovely cottage in great location, cream scone cafe yards away and close to the beautiful Crantock beach.”

Very dog friendly area and everything you need in the cottage - lovely week away hope to return soon
Mr Palmer April 2019

“Met expectations in what we needed for holiday home”
Mr Pritchard November 2018

“Locality of property was excellent will defiantly return next year”
Mrs Walton September 2018

“Beautiful cottage in a fabulous spot.”

Felt at home immediately. Would thoroughly recommend
Mrs Jones September 2018

“Dale Cottage was fabulous, it was comfortable, clean, well equipped and home from home.”

It’s location in the middle of the village waa great for the beach, the two village pubs, the shop and bus stop should you not want to walk. We would definitely stay here again.
Mrs Dymott September 2018

“We had a lovely holiday and the cottage was perfect for our needs.”

I met someone who was staying in another cottage, but had wanted to stay in Dale Cottage but was put off by a negative review. I feel the review was very unfair and I would certainly recommend the cottage! We will definitely return!

“Perfect family cottage for beach holiday”

Charming and tasteful semi-detached cottage. Unusually spacious although the kitchen is a little cramped. No door on attic bedroom. Superb location for the best beach in the UK and pretty village centre with convenience store. A bit noisy in the morning due to being opposite the bus stop. Excellent wifi. Mobile phone reception almost non-existent but a land line is provided for guest use. Recycling arrangements are somewhat random. The two pubs are not great but there is a small cafe-restaurant opposite that is sometimes open in the evening. Parking outside is difficult so parking permits are provided for spaces about 5 minutes walk away. Overall, very pleasant and recommendable.

“Quiet paradise in Cornwall”

Dale cottage is as beautiful as the photos show. It is in the heart of the village, close to two pubs and walking distance to the famous Crantock beach. The good: Beautiful, very clean, large, 4 bedrooms, quiet location but a great spot to be for touring around all of Cornwall. WiFi is great! Laundry washer on site. Beautiful, peaceful backyard. Bathrooms are very clean and modern. Parking spot is secured for the cottage. Large fridge and the kitchen is well supplied to make meals for 6 people. Morrison's grocery store is very close which has everything one needs. The manager of the property, Tracey, was very friendly and helpful! Was able to stop by in minutes if we needed anything. The not-so-great: The furniture coverings are tired. A bit stained and in need of replacement. A couple of the cabinets in the kitchen have a damp smell when you open them. The cottage connected to us had dogs which is fine but my daughter had some trouble getting to sleep at night. We were on the top floor and didn't hear a thing but she did complain about noise from the dogs next door as she tried to go to sleep. This is a top-notch, family friendly cottage that was perfect for our vacation! I would come back and stay again in a heartbeat! Great value for money with this property.

About the location

CRANTOCK

Newquay 4.5 miles.

Crantock is a small Cornish village, just a short walk from the beach, 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.

Please note: The gardener may need to visit during your stay.
Note: No stag/hen or similar.
