Eloen

A clean comfortable and well equipped property.

No complaints from the three of us !!!

Absolutely fantastic house in a perfect location.

Very clean, lots of space, beds exceptionally comfortable! Lovely living room with a great tv that you can have your netflix, disney etc accounts on. A 5 minute walk from the local shop and lovely pubs/restaurants. The beach is a 15 minute walk and there is a bus stop at the top of the road for Newquay. For us it was perfect in every way and we'd love to go back.

The place was nice and big enough for 8 people group but not clean at all ( didn’t have any toiletries)

I’m sorry to report that this house was dirty on arrival.

I spent the first day of my holiday cleaning the house. I could tell as soon as I walked in that it wasn’t clean. It didn’t even look like it had been hoovered. The guest before us had long hair and I could see it everywhere. On the floor, going up the stairs, in the shower basins, on our bedside tables. The shower tiles still had what I’m assuming was shampoo or conditioner smeared all over them. The dust and filth on the towel radiators was awful, I needed to clean them before I would hang any towels on them. Dirt around the overflow hole in the sink in the downstairs toilet. The rug in the living room was filthy, covered in stains. The carpet in the master bedroom has stains all over it. It goes on. I have taken pictures of everything I have mentioned and more. The Hoover provided in the house was rubbish, but even with that I was able to get all the hair and dirt off of the floor and carpets, so it just proves that it hadn’t been done prior to our arrival. After I spent the start of my holiday cleaning the house to the best of my ability, I felt happier about staying there. The house itself provided enough room for a family of 5. It was also walking distance to the beach, pups, eateries and the shop. Crantock village is beautiful. I don’t think I will be booking to stay this house again as I don’t want to start my holiday cleaning someone else’s house. The street the house is on is also an eye opener with half of the houses not cared for. Especially the house adjoined to this property. First impressions were not good with plant pots with dead flowers in greeting us on arrival. I have complained to Sykes cottages which only today… nearly three weeks after originally complaining have got in touch with me. The house owner has supposedly been informed about the complaint, but haven’t responded!! I’m hoping to hear sometime soon and get to the bottom of this. It is a real shame as no one wants to start their holiday this way and I certainly don’t want this aggravation after my holiday either.

We had an amazing stay at this holiday home in Crantock, Cornwall.

The location was perfect, just a 10 minute walk to the beautiful beach and a 5 minute walk to two lovely pubs. The well-stocked shop nearby was convenient for picking up any essentials we needed, along with fresh Cornish pastys and sausage rolls each day. There was a lovely park which was less than a 2 minute walk from the house which was great for the children to play in and next to an electric car charging point which was useful for us. The house itself was cozy and homely, with a TV that could access Netflix, Iplayer etc. The house had all things needed for a week’s stay and the owner was easily contactable. We also appreciated the convenience of the bus stop at the end of the road, making it easy to explore the nearby towns of Newquay and Truro. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this holiday home.

My sister and I had an overall good stay at Eloen.

We did notice that the house could have been a lot cleaner though. The bathrooms had not had the tiles washed and there was still a considerable amount of sand and soap scum in the bath when we arrived. This could have just been missed but just wasn’t particularly appealing to get into when you want a wash after a long day travelling. The kitchen had one tea towel I think a couple could have been helpful and the towels were not very big so it was lucky we had packed extras with us. Really appreciate the high chair and washing machine this was a great add on! Really loved the decor and the comfort of the bed in the master bedroom, the light in there was lovely. We also loved how accessible the property was to Crantock beach. Thanks for the stay We hope to return again :)

The property was a good standard overall and well equipped for a family holiday .

It was close to the beach and the local village pubs and shop . On the negative side only one set of towels was provided per person for the whole 2 weeks meaning we had to wash them ourselves . There was no recycle option for glass at the property or locally that we could find .

The property was spacious and comfortable Crantock is a very pretty coastal village with a beautiful beach and the gannel ideal for the children just a 10 minute walk from the property.

However there were just one or two issues we had asked for the single bed to be made up which had not been done on arrival soon sorted however after a call to Sykes office. The property is missing a few essentials No place mats for the table no cutlery tray in the dishwasher no oven gloves The drain from both the bath and shower were clogged with hair the drains do need attention. hair in the washing machine. In the second floor bedroom the sink tap was loose and the shower door was off the runner at one side the sink in that bathroom didn’t drain no waste paper baskets in any bedrooms. The neighbours were very vocal using foul language. Overall we enjoyed our stay in Crantock

Fantastic stay, everything we needed.

Perfect position to explore Crantock and the surrounding areas. The kids enjoyed it so much they wanted to leave a bad review so no one else would go there

How to describe a week at Eloen.

We fell in love with Crantock. The house was amazing and suited my family. It was like stepping into a home from, Which had everything we needed and more. The view from the top floor looking out to the sea everything was a wonderful way to wake up. This was our first ever booking with Sykes cottages and we are now definitely looking to come back to Eloen in 2024. The garden was lovely to enjoy in to windy evenings as it’s sheltered. 10-15 minute walk to the beach. Local shop was great. All in all we had a fantastic stay. Thank you

We enjoyed our stay at Eloen and found it an ideal base for touring around Cornwall.

It was also really handy for the beach, being a short walk away, as were the Jolly Poke poppy fields, which were stunning. I would only say that if you are not used to living in a terraced house then be prepared for some noise from the neighbours. Both sides were very nice and pleasant but could be a little noisy at times. Also, be prepared for the seagulls, the curse of living close to the beach! Take a pair of ear plugs if you don't want an early wake up call and watch your belongings on the beach, they will fly off with anything that they can eat. We can recommend the Cornishman pub as a great place to eat but, book in advance if you intend to eat after 7pm as it gets very busy.

Excellent location for Crantock beach, pubs and close to Newquay.

Clean property with 3 bathrooms and good kitchen. Low pressure electric shower but still worked well. Nice back yard patio that will be good for bbqs in the warmer weather.

Really lovely house in a brilliant village.

We had a great stay at Eloen.

The property exceeded expectations. The house has a welcoming and relaxing ambience, with ample space for a family. There is a generous mix of living areas to use, with the daybed and desk in the top floor master suite, study with sofa on the first floor, living room and kitchen/diner. The Crantock Christmas lights were a nice surprise, which are run throughout the village and the Round Garden in the centre. A lovely bottle of wine and a few essentials had been left in the kitchen for us by the owner. I couldn’t fault the cleanliness, and while we didn’t use the garden due to the time of year, it is clearly well cared for. The windows on the top floor are perfect for watching the weather change as it comes in across the coast. From the house you can walk down to the beach in under ten minutes, but we generally chose to take a slightly longer route up and over the dunes which has great views. We will definitely be back to Crantock and Eloen.

We were very disappointed with the house it was located in an area that wasnt very nice the neighbours that lived there were noisy most evenings , the house was dirty and the towels were stained ,I'm very disappointed as we have booked through Sykes before but this has really put me off and the property was not cheap at all .

Really nice location and ample sized property.

We were pleasantly surprised with the extra toilet in the utility room as it wasn’t listed in the details. So our stay as 2 families was very comfortable, plenty of seating in the kitchen diner and extra chairs available if needed. Large drive that accommodated our estate car easily and extra parking opposite for our second vehicle. Village shop is a 2 minute walk and the locals made us very welcome. The shop is well stocked for its size and for a bigger choice Morrisons supermarket is only a 10 minute drive into Newquay. Two great pubs in the village a 5 minute walk away, we made good use of those. The beach in Crantock is outstanding and is walkable within approx 10-15 minutes. We would definitely recommend Eloen and stay here again.

We had a lovely week in Crantock, staying at Eloen.

The house had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Crantock beach is within walking distance which was a big bonus. I would definitely recommend this property.

We had a wonderful week in Crantock at Eloen.

The house is lovely, really well equipped and furnished with a real mix of new and old antique furniture which I loved. The location is fantastic and the owner was very responsive and helpful. The top floor bedroom in particular is really nice, a very well done loft conversion that felt like a hotel suite. It was so lovely to go relax in there at night after a day at the beach, and you can see the sea and sunset from up there.

Great holiday accommodation.

Well equipped and housed our party of six comfortably. Good central location to the village.

If I could give this a 4.

5 stars I would. It’s so close to a 5 star the property was lovely and in a great location with sea views from the top. We think the cleaning could have been done a bit better and did plan to use the bbq but it was dirty.

Having not stayed at this property before, we were very pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and layout of the house.

Unlike a hotel room which can be somewhat bare and clinical in its feel. This house had a lovely homely feel to it, with the white walls and Van Gogh pictures it felt like a home from home. With good quality appliances and even viners cutlery. The owners even left us some basic provisions and a bottle of wine in the fridge, which we thought was a really kind thoughtful touch. It was a great layout for us and the kids with having three bathrooms (en suite in the master bedroom). Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the Crantock area. We will be back ourselves for sure. Regards Mr L Roche

Adequate let, potentially outstanding.

Quiet location with easy access to shop, pub beach and main roads, Very comfortable beds. Bathrooms outstanding. Kitchen spacious with excellent appliances tho no user guides. BUT Fourth bedroom was a mattress on the floor with nothing else!!! Twin room had NO wardrobe space ( hooks on the wall), only a set of ancient drawers filled with old clothes; a sign the cleaning is less than adequate. “Carefully selected” Antique”furniture was old and scratched car boot quality. The heating was permanently on- outside temperature 22. James fixed it remotely but that failed. So we were HOT. Kitchen had four uncomfortable chairs, rest were foldaway chairs- for seven people? Limited crockery, so after a drink you had to wash your cup. Similarly the cutlery. Grill pan and microwave filthy- not cleaned. Back patio full of weeds Broken blinds in kitchen and bedroom. This property was finished in a hurry to cash in on the 2021 staycation boom. A few changes and a good cleaner could change it from adequate to outstanding. Sykes for the first time you disappointed us.

The house was lovely, very clean, beautiful artwork and comfortable spaces.

Lovely kitchen with a great range of utensils, really liked the crockery! A lovely, well-tended little courtyard garden. The owners were helpful, contacting us in advance of our stay. They clearly look after the property and take pride in it, which is so great! The location is brilliant, walking distance to the beach, shop and pub. Unfortunately, we did find the mattress in the master bedroom (top floor) incredibly uncomfortable. I thought it was just me initially (I have a bad back) so swapped beds mid holiday (with the very welcome delivery of fresh sheets), but only passed the sleepless nights on - a new mattress in that (otherwise flawless) room would make a huge difference! We also found the sofa bed in in the writing room very uncomfortable, ok for a child for a couple of nights but no more that that (sleeping on a yoga mat on the floor became the preferred option).

Great location not too far from the beach and a short drive into Newquay.

The accommodation itself was spacious and clean. We had a group of 5 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of space for us to sit round the table or chill in the lounge. The owners were lovely and provided us with lots of information and were very responsive when we needed help. The only suggestions I have are black out blinds in the bedrooms and a proper single bed in the small room. Highly recommended. Thanks for letting us stay.

This was our very first holiday since the first lockdown in March 2020 and as you can imagine we were very ready and excited to get away.

Our original accommodation was cancelled due to a shared entrance and we were very disappointed as we had chosen an apartment with a sea view very carefully. Sykes were excellent in arranging and sending a variety of choices in substitution but none with the sea view we were hoping for. HOWEVER we absolutely loved ELOEN and Crantock and we could not have wished for a more comfortable and welcoming home away from home. The house was immaculate and had all the comforts of home. The beds were super comfy and the rooms very light and airy. The loft conversion master suite was wonderful. The outside area with pots of herbs and fairy lights a great place for the sundowner cocktail. Crantock is a delightful Cornish village and we were only a short walk away from the beach and amazing coastal walks were on our doorstep. We signed up for surfing lessons with The Big Green Surf School on Crantock Beach and they were absolutely fantastic. We were a little skeptical about how we would cope in the freezing cold water in April, but the wetsuits truly are remarkable. It was very helpful not having to drive to the beach, as the Crantock Car Park is quite small and there is often a queue to get in and out. The cargo truck cafe on Crantock Beach is delightful perfect for coffee and sandwiches. The Albion Pub in the village is also great, although it was pretty chilly sitting outside for our first dinner out since last year!. We didn't manage to try Jam Jar Cafe in Crantock (the pizza's are apparently amazing) but we picked up coffee and pastries at their Newquay outlet. We hope that we can visit again and would definitely stay at Eloen again.
