"We have stayed in Offshore many times and absolutely love it."
We stay with our family and feel it’s a real home from home for us. The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need to self cater which we do regularly. All of the bedrooms are comfortable and one has the en-suite which is useful to have. There’s a downstairs loo in addition to the family bathroom so no queuing in the morning! The garden is enclosed and there is a shed which we used to store the pram and other bits. Offshore is a good 10 minute walk down to the beach via the village so it’s still easy to get to and the Londis is well stocked for all your provisions. We would happily recommend Offshore for a comfortable base close to Crantock.
Thank you so much for this detailed and helpful feedback. We are so pleased to hear that Offshore has become a home from home for you and your growing family over the years! Crantock is such a lovely friendly village too.

"I would definitely recommend this stay, we'll likely be back in the future."
The house is well equipped, we had everything we needed and more. The only downside would be that both of the full bathrooms are upstairs, if there was a downstairs bathroom it would make the house much more accessible. The shower outside was a bonus but a moveable shower head would be more useable, for example washing feet or the dog before going back into the property without the potential of getting clothing wet from the shower.
The owner was lovely, messaged us before, answered a message during and after the stay. She felt approachable if we were to need anything. The house is within 10 minutes of anything we needed and we spent the majority of the holiday paddle boarding at Crantock beach which was just down the road.
In comparison to Sykes terrible customer service this house and owner was great!
We are so pleased you had a great stay at Offshore - Crantock is certainly ideal for all sorts of watersports, as well as just dog walking and relaxing! We do hope that you will be able to return in the future.
Thank you for your helpful comments too. The outside shower is a weatherproof fitting and a moveable head wasn't available for it at the time we installed it. However, this may have changed now, so is definitely worth looking into, as it would be very useful.

"Well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms, good living space and bedrooms."
Good hot outdoor shower and storage shed for beach gear. Only downside are the big steep steps from the house into the garden, with no hand rails, so a bit dangerous for small dogs, small children and anyone unsteady on their feet.

"We enjoyed a lovely week in this comfortable house which was well equipped and spacious for 6."
The NT carpark at Crantock was an added bonus, though it was full by 8:30 as the weather was so good. The local Londis was extremely useful as it sold a good range of items at a reasonable price. We celebrated a birthday at The Bowgie Inn for 22 (including 7children) and we were allocated a space where we could spread out and were made very welcome.
We are so pleased to hear you had such an enjoyable week staying at Offshore - you were certainly lucky with the weather! Crantock is such a friendly village and it's great that you were made so welcome at the Bowgie Inn.

"Lovely property in a great location."
Everything you need at the property for great home style living. Some of the furnishings are tired/well used, mattress sagging on the king-size bed, but other than that I would highly recommend this property. The location for Crantock and it's stunning beach is definitely the best, even for those who cannot manage hilly beach access. It is definitely somewhere we would consider staying again.
Thank you for your useful feedback and we are pleased that you would recommend us. We were also disappointed with the king size mattress - it was new from John lewis in 2021 - part of their natural collection. We did complain about it but they said the sagging was to be expected given the nature of the mattress!

"A pleasant little house in a less than salubrious location."
4 comfortable bedrooms, very well equipped kitchen and sunny little garden. The bottom line is that the house is not big enough for 6 adults and 2 children, despite having sufficient beds! I would say 4 adults 2 children at the most. There was never enough hot water for all of us to shower. We could all fit around the kitchen table but it was a squeeze. The layout of the lounge meant up to 5 could sit and watch TV, 2 people could sit at the back of the room out of the way, and the 8th? No comfortable garden furniture, or the ability to fit around the outside table was the absolute deal breaker for us. We were unable to enjoy the lovely evenings because there was not enough room to sit and the furniture was so uncomfortable. We enjoyed our holiday, but will not use again. Also as with every Sykes property we have ever used, the grass hadn't been cut for weeks.

"We’ve had another great holiday at Offshore this year."
It really is a home from home after a number of visits over the past few years. It is well equipped and very comfortable for our ever growing family. The kitchen is spacious and has all the equipment needed for self catering. Each of the bedrooms has plenty of storage and having 2 bathrooms and a downstairs bathroom are useful when the house is at full capacity. The garden is enclosed and has a shed which has been useful for all our beach gear! Plus an outside shower for rinsing the sand off after a day on the beach. We were blessed with glorious weather this year but Offshore would be a peaceful retreat should you want to chill at home. The fact that we have returned so many times speaks for itself
Thank you so much for such generous, detailed feedback. We are really pleased to be able to welcome you back to Offshore year after year, and especially happy for you that the weather was so fantastic this time!

"Details on the property page differed from details emailed by Sykes, such as check in time and check out time."
Most importantly, the keysafe number was NOT the number emailed by Sykes. Also, we were told after booking that we had to pay £150 damage deposit on arrival- this was annoying as we had already paid a lot, including extra for the dog, but in fact we were not asked to pay deposit on arrival. All annoying little administrative things. The house was great. Odd residential location, but handy for village and beach. Car parking was tight for 2 cars, so not sure who would fit a third on the drive as oer the listing!
We're sorry that there were a few admin issues with your booking and have updated Sykes with the key safe number and the fact that we don't request a deposit any more.
Our new hedge at the front has taken up some of the drive space, which does make it suitable for only 2 cars at most now.
Hopefully you enjoyed your holiday and liked Crantock as much as we do.

"The House wasn’t set up for 4 pm arrival and the property manager came around 4."
30 to 4.45 to put in toilet rolls, bring replacement duvet etc. I reported to her the extractor in en suite wasn’t working which she said would get sorted, it turned out both bathroom extractors didn’t work. The house could do with a real good deep clean, we were all sneezing from dust and under beds and sofas was really bad, the lounge also smelt of dog, yes I have dogs but mine don’t smell like that. The grass wasn’t cut in the garden and as such made it difficult to clean up after the dogs, there was also a large plant over growing the front path which made it difficult to get a buggy past. Just a few irritations but paying 2k for a week , I did really expect it to be perfect. I know these issues could have been sorted but after reporting the extractors to the manager, we didn’t really want people coming in and out during the week to sort issues, this should have been done before we got there.

"This is our third stay at Offshore and it is a really great cottage for a family holiday."
The cottage is well equipped for a self catering stay having plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans, utensils etc. There is also a washer, dryer and dishwasher so there is everything you need for your stay. We had three couples in our party and found the sleeping arrangements perfect for us - 2 good doubles, one en suite and one family bathroom upstairs, plus another double and a cloakroom downstairs. There is a fourth bedroom upstairs which was made up as a double but can also be a twin. There is a good amount of storage in most of the bedrooms. Only the downstairs bedroom seems to lack hanging space but this didn’t cause any issues for us. So Offshore works well for a number of groups. The lounge is spacious with 2 settles and 2 armchairs and has sliding doors to the garden. The garden is fully enclosed so it’s great for anyone with dogs like us, as we knew they were secure. The house is located a short walk from the village shop and pubs and of course the beach. There is space on the drive for 2 cars - a real bonus in Crantock. The village is only small but has 2 pubs, a tea room and village shop which is well stocked. The shop is also a post office. The beach is beautiful and you can even walk to Newquay from here. A perfect base for visiting North Cornwall. We have already booked for 2019 so that says it all really.
