• "We had a fantastic 10 day stay at the Bolthole."

  The accommodation was perfect for my partner and I. The accommodation was spotless and the perfect size for two. Its location within Crantock Village cannot be faulted less than 30 seconds to the local shop - fantastic bread by the way! A two minute walk to two great village pubs. The beach is less than 10 minutes. Our two dogs can with us and they loved the many walks around Crantock. I could not fault the Bolthole all the village we will be back!

• "A wonderful break which was much needed!"

  The two of us and our 2 dogs spent 3 nights at the Bolthole and it could not have been better. The booking was easy, the information provided was accurate and comprehensive and the local agent, Pauline, gave prompt answers to the few questions we had. The property is exactly as described and of a very high standard and the welcome cream tea was much appreciated. The location is perfect with proximity to the beach and local walks and the village pubs and shop were ideal. We had a fantastic time and will be returning!

• "This was such a gorgeous place to stay."

  We loved exploring Cornwall but equally loved coming ‘home’ in the evening. Beautifully decorated and a super comfy sofa and bed we had a wonderful visit, and hope we can visit again next year.

• "It's a lovely property in a perfect location and ideal for a couple."

  We reported an issue with the ice compartment in the fridge, which drips and water then accumulates on items kept in the fridge. We suspect this is because the fridge itself has not been installed correctly and is leaning backwards inside the unit. Certainly the door leans inwards at the top, outwards at the bottom.

• "Fantastic little hideaway we had another amazing holiday."

  The cottage kitchen could do with a little work on it the dishwasher is not fixed in properly . But that doesn’t take anything away from a wonderful cottage that is perfect for a quiet stay .

• "My partner and I stayed here for a week in February 2022 and enjoyed it thoroughly, the beach was only a 10 minute walk and there was a pub and shop nearby which was helpful."

  The cottage itself was lovely, however I do wish there would’ve been blinds or mottled windows at the front of the cottage for security purposes as at nighttime it feels as though people can see in. The only problem we encountered was that storm Eunice hit and a request to check out slightly later than planned to avoid the worst of the storm (red weather warning) was not accommodated and we ended up having to leave before the storm began (5am) to make sure we would be safe. It was slightly difficult to find at first but I wouldn’t have any reason not to recommend it to others. Lovely cream tea upon arrival and overall a really nice week away. Thank you.

• "We absolutely loved our stay at The Bolthole!"

  The accommodation itself was perfect for us, clean, fresh and modern but also really cosy. Everything we could have needed was provided, along with some really nice additional touches that we weren't expecting. The outside space was great for the dogs. The location was fantastic as well, right in the heart of the village, with facilities all within easy walking distance. We stayed for 3 nights and would have happily stayed for longer!

• "We arrive at the bolthole tired after a long journey, we were so please to find that tea, coffee, fresh milk and a proper clotted cream tea was waiting for us, delicious."

  There was fresh flowers and a bottle of bubbly too. The place was instantly warm and inviting. Parking is good, right outside in a shared driveway. Crantock is a pretty village, the shop next door was well stocked and the local pubs are a two minute walk, the old Albion was more us and the food is amazing. The Cornishman was lovely and all very new, we used both, the airstream burger van is a bonus too, really good food. The beach is gorgeous, so clean, but if it’s the sea you’re after be prepared to walk ;) The supermarkets are a few minutes drive and your in the middle for other attractions such as Tintagel and lands end, both about an hour away by car. We would definitely recommend the bolthole and hope to return soon.

• "Our 2nd visit to The Bolthole."

  Ideal for 2 people and 2 dogs. The cottage is modern, clean and well equipped. We received all the appliance leaflets by email before our trip with lots of other useful information about the area. Recommended it to a couple we met who had visited Crantock and said they would love to stay there. Excellent location too with a 10 minute walk to the beach, 2 mins to shop and a choice of 2 pubs. Also a lovely cafe that served pizza Thursday-Sunday evenings. Brilliant stay and hope to be back.

• "The Bolthole is exactly what it says."

  Small but perfectly formed. Absolutely lovely for a couple (or with a baby). Everything very clean and well presented and the fresh flowers and welcome pack was a great touch. Pauline was very responsive when we had a minor problem with the dishwasher and it was sorted immediately. We loved it and would not hesitate to go back - even with next door with our family.

• "Obviously with the COVID restrictions certain items have Been removed from the property and they is no house keeping if you are staying for two weeks ."

  Clean linen Was delivered but you have to put this on the bed yourself. This doesn’t take long and is not a problem if it means you can have your holiday. If you have been to Crantock before there is a new place to eat called the Jam Jar very good Pizza’s. Another amazing holiday in this beautiful place .

• "Having last visited Cornwall in 2016 we knew immediately we wanted to stay in Crantock again and what better accommodation could we have chosen than The Bolthole!"

  Central location, on site parking, all the facilities we could need for us, our 18 month toddler and 2 boxer dogs. Beautiful, light and airey space, all on one level (which away from home without stair gates was an added bonus not having to worry about little one navigating steps she wasn’t used to!) Pauline the house manager was more than helpful when required. We hope to return to The Bolthole again in the future, thank you again!

  The welcome pack with scones, cream, jam, prosecco, milk, tea and coffee was a lovely surprise and most welcome. The setting is perfect with a dog friendly beach, pretty village location, pub with excellent food, village shop and café all on the doorstep. Would definitely recommend The Bolthole and we would love to go back for another restful holiday.

  The cottage has been done to a great standard and has a lovely modern finish. The welcome pack was really appreciated after a long journey. The location couldn’t be better with 2 pubs and a local shop within 2 minutes walk.

  The super kingsize bed was really nice i had a bit of room for a change the surrounding area was beutiful we walked miles with the dog. The bolthole is very well placed convenience store just across the road two pubs a stones throw and the beach just down the road although road was very busy. I was also impressed with the regular bus service. A smart telly would have been nice for evenings we like films although a dvd was availabe. This was our first holiday in this country for 19 years because of the dog but we will definately be revisiting sue ridgway

• "Perfectly designed for 2."

  Right in the centre of the village but with a small private garden where you can always catch some sun (or shade). Well equipped and very clean (property accepts dogs - but not a dog hair to be found). Off road parking is a real bonus in Crantock - I would recommend this property and would certainly return again.
