We have spent a fantastic week at Greycott. 31/07 -07/08. Myself, my husband, our two adult children and their partners, 2 children 8 yrs and 6 yrs and 2 babies , 5 months and 11 months. The house was perfect for us. Furnished and decorated to a very high standard. Plenty of space. Parking for 3 cars. Generous accommodation and just our type of place. Tastefully decorated and styled with lovely attention to detail. Beach 10 minute walk( with children!) Crantock beach is glorious. We all felt at home the moment we walked in .

Beautiful location. Bedrooms with sea views and farmland views. Well equipped kitchen and lots of home comforts. 5 minute walk to local restaurants and Crantock beach is just a bit further. Very clean and spacious property with good quality furniture and items. Great private garden too overlooking horse stables. Lovely welcome pack of scones and jam with cream, tea, coffee and milk. Lots of games and books too. Our dogs really enjoyed staying here and our 17 year old daughter enjoyed the Xbox in the main lounge! House keeper Kim was very attentive. We highly recommend this dog friendly property.
