Swimming, beachcombing, and hikes through spectacular coastal scenery: enjoy these seaside delights and more when you choose this super holiday home in the pretty village of Crantock. The contemporary first-floor apartment sleeps four guests and is ideally placed for a family or friends sharing. Crantock’s splendid expanse of sand is a firm family favourite for all ages, offering swimming (with seasonal lifeguards), surfing and hunting for seashells along the River Gannel, which runs onto the beach. Novices can learn the ropes at a beach surf school, and watersports kit is for hire. Drop into the historic village pub to tuck into home-cooked fare and indulge in tasty treats at the beach cafe. Take an exhilarating walk along the beautiful South West Coast Path, looking out for snoozing seals on the coves below, and see close-ups of exotic and Cornish marine life at the Blue Reef Aquarium in lively Newquay (3.5 miles),
The apartment is one of a small block of similar properties, reached from one flight of stairs
and on a communal hallway. Step inside to find a spacious, open-plan living space flooded with light from floor-to ceiling sliding doors opening on to a large balcony terrace. The stylish, contemporary decor has a striking monochrome theme, offset by touches of grey. A pair of leather sofas and elegant dining area provide comfortable seating as you drink in the splendid, far-reaching sea views, while the impressive, streamlined kitchen has all the culinary aids you might need. Enjoy a good night’s sleep in two sumptuous bedrooms: a king-size with an ensuite rainfall shower and a twin. A sleek family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.
Outside, the airy balcony terrace houses rattan furniture. This is a lovely spot to watch the sun go down across the sea as you enjoy drinks and al-fresco dining. Extensive, shared gardens below the apartments offer another relaxing retreat, with outdoor seating and picnic tables. There is private parking for one car.
