“We had a lovely week in Crantock.”
The area is fabulous. The house, overall was OK, but could definitely be improved. The location is incredibly noisy. So much road noise throughout the day and night. No ventilation other than the windows, so the choices were to either melt in a heap or have the road noise. Fans in the bedrooms would be a very good addition. The main bathroom wasn't great. Four of us sharing this and there was nowhere to keep toiletries as there were no cupboards or shelves. Window sill was very crowded. Also, the shower cubicle was very small and again nowhere to put shampoo etc. The outside area was disappointing and photo misleading. No garden, just a yard.
We would definitely return to Crantock, but not Carpe Diem.
An easily accessible house in the middle of the village, in Cornwall, in August will always be noisier than renting in May miles away from any shops or the beach.
Our guests were extremely fortunate to have had such incredibly hot weather and even though we have never needed fans since renting our property, we would have been happy to assist with a delivery of fans. Access to the beach and the cooling coast, is minutes away.
There are 3 bathrooms / shower rooms; access to all 3 for a maximum of 8 in a group is a matter of choice. All are beautifully equipped. The photographs of the garden were taken before we paid for a Garden Designer to update our large outside area with designer troughs, a summer house for storing beach and walking equipment and a low level picket fence for the safety of individuals and pets whilst holidaying with us. Our area also includes wrought iron tables and chairs and BBQ unit and an external shower unit.
We are saddened to hear that you will not be returning to stay with us as many our many lovely regular returners do.
As hosts we are always accessible to accommodating our guests needs and if there is anything that our Manager cannot arrange, they only need contact us directly and we will happily assist.
