"Beautiful property, quiet location."
Easy walk to to pub!
The house was well equipped with everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The dogs loved the garden and the hot tub was special (with robes provided) - when the dogs were inside the house couldn’t trust them near the water !
A lovely welcome card and gift from the owners who were more than helpful when we asked a question. We will definitely be back.

"We had a fantastic stay at Periwinkle."
Perfect location. 10-12 minute walk to the Crantock beach where you can find scoop ice cream and a military truck selling coffee. Two pubs, village shop and jam jar restaurant (best pizza around) in walking distance.
The property itself was very clean and had everything you needed for a week’s stay.
The garden is well maintained and the hot tub was a great addition.
Bonus being dog friendly, our Labrador had the best time.
Thank you also for the welcome gifts on arrival, made us feel very welcome.
We will definitely be back soon.

Location was perfect 5 minute walk to 2 pubs, just over 5 minute walk to the beach and a shop around the corner. Owner lives local but left us to it, just offered assistance if we needed it. Hot tub was brilliant and clean as was the whole property. Robes included, plus prosecco waiting in the fridge along with scones, fresh cream, fresh jam and biscuits. Dog bowls also supplied by the owner. Coffee machine with pods included and instructions for all appliances. This really was a home from home.

"Fabulous house, in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of the village."
Kelly and Tom (who live a few doors away) have thought of just about everything and the welcome pack was a lovely touch, with scones, clotted cream, milk, biscuits, a bottle of fizz and much more! The house is spacious and well appointed and includes everything you need, including towels, linen and even loo rolls! The electric car charger was simple to use and much needed after our journey and the hot tub was excellent too. Just a few minutes walk to the village which has a small supermarket, two pubs, The Albion and The Cornishman, (both offer good food and a choice of ales) and a 10 minute walk to the beach. (Note: it's very steep uphill coming back!). A wonderful home from home, in a fabulous location providing a fantastic holiday experience. Highly recommend.

We arrived to the most wonderful selection of goodies from a local farm shop together with tea, coffee, milk and bread generously provided by Tom and Kelly the owners who couldn’t do enough to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible.
There was a small problem with the hot tub and within 30 mins of sending an email, Tom was knocking at our door and as he himself couldn’t fix it he put lots of pressure on the hot tub repair people to come straight out and repair it despite it being their busiest time of the season. Everything worked fine after that.
All in all a fantastic comfortable holiday home in a great location with really lovely and attentive owners.

It is bright and airy, comfortably furnished both inside and out and very clean. The garden was great for the dogs and was really private. We spent most of our time outside as the weather was great and there was shade from an umbrella. There was a welcome pack which was the best I have ever had at any self catering accommodation and was much appreciated. There was an issue with the road while we were there which was nothing to do with the owners. We were kept informed at all times about what was going on.

"On the whole the house was clean and sufficed."
The lounge STANK of dogs. The bedding was cheap and the pillows were awful (cheap and flat). There were stains on the mattress protector so obviously it wasn't cleaned since at least the visit before. There was absolutely nothing available such as oil/foil/washing up liquid (which may be a covid thing but VERY unusual in our experience for nothing to be available) and the hot tub - the only reason we were prepared to spend as much on 1 week away - was not very good because it only worked on 1 side at a time. The pump clearly isn't strong enough for the size of the tub. Overall, it didn't stop us from having a nice week away but we definitely wouldn't return - the price asked was just pure greed taking advantage of people needing to go away in this country during the half term. Shame. If it wasn't so expensive we wouldn't have expected so much.
We are sorry that your stay did not live up to your expectations. We have had only consistent positive reviews on everyone's experience at Periwinkle.
We wish you raised the fore-mentioned concerns at the time of your stay to allow us the opportunity to look into these further. Upon your arrival we received an email from yourself saying Its a really lovely property and we are looking forward to spending the week. Thank you for the Scones and Prosecco - I am sure they will be enjoyed with no concerns raised.
In order to protect our guest and be COVID secure between stays we have not provided oil, etc. However we provided a complimentary welcome package including; tea, coffee, milk, chilled water, scones and Prosecco. Further to this we also provided dishwasher tablets, kitchen sponge, bin bags, kitchen roll and tin foil as standard.
I would like to assure all guest the bedding is professionally cleaned, changed and inspected in between every stay. We have had no other negative complaints with regards to the quality. There were no stains on the bedding or mattress protector prior to your stay and any stained bedding is replaced. We are aware pillows can be a personal choice so apologies if you were not happy with the comfort. In future, please let us know of anything that we can do at the time to make your stay more comfortable.
With regards to the hot tub, an instruction manual is provided to demonstrate how to operate it. When you contacted us on the Monday of your stay, we responded within 30mins and personally visited to give a demonstration of how to use the hot tub. At the time it was agreed that it was user error and were more than happy with the hot tub. It was also followed up the next day to ensure you were happy, it was confirmed the hot tub was good. We have since spoke to the supplier who concluded it was again unfortunately user error. The hot tub is only 6 months old and is designed for 6 people.
We are disappointed that you didn't notify us of any of your concerns either in person, via email, or mobile during your stay. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we could see how we could have improved your stay with us.
Kindest regards,
Kelly, Tom and Perrie

The garden is again finished to a high standard, well landscaped with the added luxury of the hot tub which is perfect for relaxing in after a long day exploring beautiful Cornwall. Whilst we didn’t take our dog on this holiday the garden is well secured for a four legged friend.
The hosts left us a very nice welcome gift as well as a lovely introductory greeting card. They were always on hand and very approachable if we needed anything.
Crantock itself is beautiful, the house is located at the top of the village and the beach is a 10/15 minute walk. The coastal sand dunes are great to explore and the views are stunning! We took an hour walk along the coast towards Holywell Bay where you’ll often find a colony of seals - it’s well worth the walk!! In terms of amenities, Crantock has a well stocked local shop as well as two pubs and a coffee/cake cafe (The Jam Jar) which doubles up as an excellent Pizzerie in the evening which also serves cocktails!
