The spacious beamed sitting room is set on the first floor to take full advantage of the wonderful coastal views. Attached to Manor Cottage (GAX) but completely self-contained, it enjoys a picturesque setting on the green, in the peaceful Cornish hamlet of West Pentire – only 300 yards down a cliff path from acres of clean golden sand (see Manor Cottage GAX). Children and adults alike can sample the delights of rock pool fishing, exploring caves or surfing. By hiring a pony, it is possible to ride cross-country to the beaches of Porth Joke and Holywell, without the need to cross any roads.
Set in the heart of National Trust land, the property is surrounded by magnificent walking country, and is an ideal base from which to explore Cornwall’s splendid countryside and unique history as well as its magnificent coastline. The immediate area is renowned for its superb sandy surfing beaches, punctuated by craggy headlands. Perranporth (named after the patron saint of tin miners) is 10 miles to the south, famous for its drifting sands which have twice buried the church. Lifeguards patrol the wide sandy beach in summer, and surf boards and wet suits can be hired by the day. Further along is St Agnes with its superb coastal views, while to the south lies Truro, the unofficial capital of Cornwall, offering good shops and restaurants, a splendid cathedral and The Royal Cornwall Museum with extensive displays of the county.
The historic and family friendly Bowgie Inn is adjacent and offers a wide selection of food as well as local beers and ciders, and sports fans can enjoy Sky coverage. A general store (open in season) can be found nearby, and Crantock village and its shops are only 1 mile away. The lively resort of Newquay, with its cliffs honeycombed by numerous caves, is 5 miles across the estuary to the north. Public swimming pool with slides at Hendra Caravan Club about 10 minutes’ drive. Shops 1 mile.

Superb location. The property is a comfortable base for large families or groups. With plenty of space to socialise It’s made extra special by the property’s age and history. The outside space is delightful and an added bonus to enjoy the stunning location. Overall would highly recommend

We chose well! We had a party of ten adults and a dog and fitted in well. The location is the real winner here. Great walks both sides of West Pentire. We know the area well, which is why we chose this place. It’s not the standard, somewhat bland style that so many holiday homes go for, which we liked. It’s a very old building with nooks and crannies and decor to suit. Those of us over about 5’ 7” did get the odd banged head, but we knew that before we went. The downstairs does have a low ceiling. We had a question about hot water one evening and without any delay they had the house manager and a plumber sorting things out.

Lovely house with an enclosed garden perfect for the dog. Pleasant walk in to crantock and lovely walk to Polly Joke beach and along to Holywell Bay along the cliffs. Right beside the Bowgie Inn which is ok but pubs in crantock have much more atmosphere. Easy to walk down to crantock bay but only at low tide. Great for surfing. Owner and housekeeper both very responsive. Everything about the house was good .
