Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"We stayed here in January 2025, the house and area was everything that we wished for, with dog accessible beaches and convenient for Newquay, Padstow and St Ives."

"This is a perfect place to relax and unwind with spectacular sea views."
The cottage is extremely clean and comfortable with a secure garden to the rear which our dog enjoyed playing in.
Although the owner is on hand should you need him we had all the privacy we needed and were very happy with our two week stay. We look forward to staying here again.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Mr Dixon. We look forward to seeing you all again.

"It is not a 5 minute walk to the beach, it’s closer to 20."
It is not pet friendly, more pet tolerant. Asking for extra payment per pet when booking and then asking people to hoover the house at the end of the holiday, leaving no trace of their pet makes me question what we paid the £40 for when we booked. Also, the Wi-Fi is terrible, it buffers all the time, even BBC iPlayer on the TV was unwatchable. The fact that you live in a house attached to this property should form part of the listing. We booked what looked like a detached home, in its own grounds, only to find it’s nothing of the sort. The main photo of the house in the property details is deceptive, it cuts the left off which is where the owners park their cars and walk past the windows of the house. The water situation is not acceptable, having to wait mid-shower, covered in soap and shampoo for the water to come back on because your home gets it first is really bad. The views are amazing but the large hedge means that you struggle to see anything when seated in the sitting room. It wasn’t as we expected in terms of distance to the beach (we ended up paying £10 per day to park there) and it didn’t offer the privacy I would expect from a house advertised as detached. I think more honesty is needed in the listing.

The house overlooks Crantock Bay and there are three pubs within walking distance. The house is super plenty of space two bathrooms, so very clean with an enclosed back garden and large front garden. The owners are friendly and quick to deal with the slightest of problems. I would highly recommend this property which is set is such a beautiful position with the coastal path within walking distance away.

"Lovely views and spacious property."
The sofas were so very uncomfortable though. As we were staying out of season, we were not out and about much. The tv had only a free view box, where you would expect a smart tv these days, this was very disappointing. (DVD player, but no dvds) Lovely managers. Beds were comfortable. Would be useful to have a small shelf to put toiletries on in the en-suite. Bigger dining table, struggle to fit 5 with food on. It’s quite a small 6 seater.
Thank you for the feedback,
One of our jobs this winter is to upgrade to a smart TV. That will be in for the new season.
I think sofas are personal preference as i think they are very comfortable and have been told by other guests they are too. I do apologise that you were not comfortable in the living room during your holiday.
We used to have lots of dvds but were told to take them out during covid and for guests to bring their own if needed.
I bigger dinning table is something we may look into in the future.
Thanks for staying with us.

The rooms were clean, well decorated and spacious. It had every facility including a welcome bottle of wine and biscuits. The owner lived next door and was very friendly. He made it clear he was available if needed but then kept out of our way whilst we were there - perfect combination! The views from the two main bedrooms and the lounge are breathtaking. A note about a recent review we saw which said that the heating was off during the main part of the day unless you made an additional payment. This was NOT the case when we stayed in February 2019, and the house was pleasantly warm throughout at all times, even without using the log burner provided in the lounge. Will be staying there in the future.

We’ve stayed here lots of times in the summer but in the winter it’s not good house very very cold spoke to owner who charged us more while we were there for having the heating on property is not cheap to rent and would expect to be albe to have heating on especially in the winter took my 80 year old mom who suffered due to the cold in the property very dissatisfied would not go there again
Thank you for your comments. I am sorry to hear you found the property was colder than previous visits, I can see our team have been in contact with you following your stay. We have spoken with the owner and can confirm during the winter months the heating is on from 6am - 11pm. if you require further heating throughout the night then this can be arranged with the owner on arrival, this does not incur additional charges.

Booked through another company which then became part of Sykes, a few weeks before the holiday itself. I needed to contact Sykes to confirm everything was as originally booked (e.g. dog was still included, as not clear). This was an extra job I had not anticipated. It would have been ideal if Sykes had contacted me directly/personally about the booking and change of company.

Where you’ll be staying
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.
