Overview
Property code: OC-CRINNI

A ground-floor apartment in a quiet corner of a gated development close to the Carlyon Bay Hotel and 5 minutes’ walk to the local beach. Set at the heart of St Austell Bay, Carlyon Bay is a stretch of the coastline extending to almost 2 miles of beach which is divided into three sections - Crinnis, Shorthorn and Polgaver.

If you haven’t discovered Carlyon Bay you’ll find it’s a great location from where to base your holiday. Situated on the South West Coast Path there are glorious coastal walks in either direction and on the beach during the season you will find pop up food vans, occasional live music and watersports activities. Being so close to the Carlyon Bay Hotel you can take advantage of their luxury spa, 18 hole championship golf course and AA rosette award-winning restaurant. Less than a 20-minute stroll from the famous and picturesque harbour of Charlestown. Full of fine food, good pubs and independent shops. Follow in Aiden Turner’s footsteps as you adventure around the historical harbour where many of the scenes in the BBC’s Poldark were filmed. Within an easy drive there are the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and the spectacular garden scenery of the tranquil Pinetum Gardens. To head further afield you’ll find good road access to the wider county and the local train station at Par is on the mainline.

The grounds and surroundings are beautiful, safe and calm. Its the perfect base for exploring the area, and wed highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free and comfortable stay in Cornwall. Well definitely be coming back! Hide

We had the most wonderful stay at Crinnis earlier this year with our little family: my husband, our 3-year-old daughter, and me.

Every little detail had been thought of, from the high-quality furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen, making our stay effortless and enjoyable.

Hi I just wanted to provide feedback on the apartment in Crinnis we booked from the 4th - 11th August. We were pleasantly surprised with the layout and amenities in the apartment and details such as the soap, dishwasher and washing tablets that normally aren't provided so was an appreciated additional touch. The main negative point wereRead more all the beds, the double and both singles were so uncomfortable we decided to come home a few days early to get a good night's sleep. Given the level of detail of the other decor and furnishings this surprised me as a mid-range mattress isn't that expensive but even my 12-year-old who is very slight, mentioned she could feel the springs in her mattress and therefore didn't sleep well. I thought it best to give you this feedback so you could review and possibly upgrade the beds for future guests as I wouldn't want anyone else to feel the need to cut their family holiday short. I'm happy to provide verbal feedback as well if that helps Hide

The place was lovely, really accessible and nicely laid out. We made use of the garden, with our 3 yr old enjoying running around. And we walked to Carlyon beach multiple times, and over to Charlestown as well. A lovely time!
