• "A competitively priced, well appointed bungalow in a good location for village facilities, beach and walks."

• "This was our 2nd visit to Keelyn, as expected everything was perfect."

  The house is beautifully clean and well stock, even left us a cream tea upon arrival. The house is in a perfect position to visit all the sights Cornwall has to offer. The village is a favourite of ours, two lovely pubs which are dog friendly within a stone throw, also a small shop selling everything we needed. The house has quite a few steps at the front so not easy if you have mobility problems, however to the side is a passage with just 3 steps and a slope up to the back gate. All in all a great base to explore

• "Lovely cottage , with an outdoor seating and a great enclosed garden."

  The cottage was well equipped with everything you need. The only thing missing for me was a cafetière. The location was perfect, a few minutes walk to the village and the beach. Slept really well and would definitely stay at Keelyn again.

• "This house is in an ideal location in Crantock about 100m walk from the village centre but far enough away not to be bothered with any noise (although our visit was at the end of the season)."

  The house was very clean and had all the facilities you would need. Nicely maintained and private rear garden with patio area etc. Close to the local walks and the South West coastal path. Village has plenty of amenities and the locals are friendly. Would recommend this house and location for couples and small family.

• "We had a great stay at Keelyn."

  We love Crantock and being so close to beaches and local facilities. We were a party of 3 adults and a dog. The property offered everything we required with the exception of a cafetiere and a corkscrew. The BT TV in the lounge offers a great choice of programmes and films to watch. The enclosed rear garden is good for the dog and enjoying the sun. There are several steps to the front door, but the property can accessed by the gate to the back garden if preferred. We enjoyed Keelyn so much that we have booked again for next year.

  We are very pleased you had a great time and lovely to know you wish to come back. There was both a corkscrew (3) and a cafetière (2) the last we did a stock take in August. We will replace for sure and sorry for any inconvenience. Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Keelyn."

  The only negative for us was the steps up to the cottage. A rail would have been a great help and maybe a handle next to the front door. Otherwise it was a perfect cottage for us and the dogs.

  Delighted to know you had a lovely time. Noted re the handrail - it’s something on our to do list. Property Owner

• "A lovely house in a wonderful location."

  We stayed here last year and loved it so much we returned. It has a lovely, largely quiet, little garden full of mature plants which are a delight. The gardens and stone walls of nearly every road are bursting with colours in full bloom. The beach is a short walk away, as are the dunes. There are 2 pubs and a cafe/pizza eatery and the village shop is well stocked. Every resident/local we met was really friendly and helpful. (I hope I am the same when we finally move down to Cornwall!) Fabulous for dog owners as there are many walks and dog friendly beaches nearby, all are perfect at low tide, and you don't have to walk along the cliff edges to get to both Polly Joke and Holywell beaches. In June, the poppy fields of West Pentire are simply stunning with the back drop of the sea and beautiful beaches. We realise feedback is largely subjective but there is only one thing on our wishlist for this house and that's bath sheets rather than towels. I imagine during winter months a tumble dryer would be helpful too. Thank you for a lovely stay once again with kind regards

  Thank you for the lovely comments. There is a built in tumble dryer built into the washing machine. We order the largest bath towels our supplier currently has to offer. Hopefully see you again. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay at Keelyn."

  We have been coming to Crantock for holidays at least once a year for many years and this is one of the best properties we have stayed in. The location near the village and not far from the beach is perfect for us whilst still having off road parking available. The property itself is lovely, light, spacious and very comfortable.

  The house was so well equipped, and well kept, obviously loved by the owners. Just one small thing could the pillows in the bedroom be changed they are very soft and uncomfortable but this was just a small observation.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback. Pillows purchased and available to use. Property Owner

  Really clean and comfortable, with great mattresses to sleep on and large beds. The garden is lovely and importantly, safe for dogs (enclosed and no toxic plants). It was a treat to have the outside table to eat al fresco in the nice weather. We all loved the house and can’t wait to come back.

• "A lovely house in the most wonderful location, particuarly for dog owners as there are 4 year round dog friendly beaches in the area including the lovely Crantock Bay itself (low tide particularly) there are 2 pubs and the Jam Jar in walking distance as well as the Londis and post office."

  The cliff paths to Holywell and beyond to Perranporth are a delight, though with some caution if you have mad dogs like we do! The information folder is also helpful and I had fun searching out the carved woman's head and the sad but beautiful poem amongst the rocks on the Bay. The house itself had everything we needed, was very clean and comfortable, thank you. The only thing I would have found a helpful addition was a non slip mat for the shower. The garden is also a delight of colours in the spring and summer and really peaceful. I have no doubt we will return, though such lovely homes get booked up really quickly these days. Thank you again for such care and attention and, of course, the cream tea!

  Lovely property. Would book again. On arrival when checking what was where in the kitchen the washing machine cupboard door was hanging off when opened, husband made a temporary repair and we reported to Tracey straight away via text who apologised for missing it. Also noted on going issue with a vehicle parked across from driveway, awkward to manoeuvre off drive when other vehicles also parked in street.

• "This is a lovely warm comfortable property."

  The rear gate access is really useful with a dog rather than having to use front door down the steeper steps . Makes it easier to keep sandy paws out of the house .Communications from property manager were prompt clear and friendly thank you Tracey - we will definitely come back. Rear garden fully enclosed for dogs and you can see them while they’re outside from the sitting room. Only niggle as mentioned before someone from the locality ( but not the street we are told ) leaves their car permanently parked across the drive and this makes access a bit more tricky with a bigger car or if you had two cars to park - I think they’ve being doing it for years but we were told by another local lady who it affects that it’s illegal as it’s on speed humps. Crantock is a lovely friendly village and from Keelyn you can walk to the beach 5-10 mins with 2 great pubs and a good store all within a stroll. We are delighted we have found this lovely dog friendly property.

• "Keelyn was in a perfect location and had all we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday."

  Less than 10 minutes from Crantock beach, the village shop, pub, and cafe less than 5 minutes away, and a major supermarket less than a 10 minute drive away. There was close and easy access to so many different routes for beautiful walks to other beaches and along the coastal pathways, we would need another week to try them all! The level of cleanliness was excellent and made us feel very safe and confident that all the appropriate covid measures had been taken. The bed was very comfortable, the lounge with a log fire, was a very pleasant place to relax and recover from a fun day walking and playing on the beach in sometimes wet and windy weather. Finally the garden was beautiful and perfectly secure so our dog could run around and we didn’t need to worry about her escaping. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay and look forward to staying again in the future!

• "Great property, nicely presented with a clean garden (as it was left) The cottage was booked as it had a log burner - unfortunately no fire tools were available (tongs, poker etc)."

  Heating, however was more than adequate. This issue and a number of light bulbs not working were advised to the property manager but no action taken as they were ceiling mounted flush LEDS that needed changing. Also very strangely there were no loo brushes in either of the toilets. As a pet friendly place a better vacuum cleaner would aid keeping the dog hair down. Henry is not up to it. Finally there are a couple of very selfish local people who keep parking their cars right opposite the drive way making it very difficult to get on and off. We would advise reversing onto the drive as its then easier to drive off.

• "Lovely light, airy, spacious accommodation, beautifully decorated, good quality fixtures & fittings very clean."

  Would definitely stay there again. Disappointing late 5pm check in and early 9am checkout, seems unnecessary even with Covid precautions. Crantock is a fabulous place to stay and Keelyn is ideally placed in the village. Good value for money. Front door is difficult to lock and needs some attention. The Large number of uneven Front Steps would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

• "As always, Tracey the property manager was brilliant."

  A credit to the company. The cottage and village are still great, even with COVID19. The local businesses did fantastically considering the restrictions. The only minor issues we experienced were: People parking opposite the driveway on the solid white lines. I would advise anyone to reverse into the driveway if visiting. However, this is to be expected in August. The dryer part of the washer dryer didn't work. Even with just one small item they didn't dry at all. I expect this gets a lot of use though.

• "We used the washer dryer due to inclement weather during our stay."

  The washing was still wet after several hours of drying. Not sure if there is a fault on it. I didn't want to put negative points in the visitors book. The house was clean, tidy and had everything we needed as usual. Tracey, who manages the property was great as always, friendly and helpful. A credit to the company. As always the cottage was lovely. The only issue we experienced was people parking opposite the drive on solid white lines, which caused us some issues with trying to reverse into the driveway. This is to be expected in high season. It was good to see the driveway had been widened to assist with parking. We have already booked for next year in Keelyn. It is a lovely cottage and village. We would love to be able to afford a holiday home in Crantock.

• "The property was excellent and very clean BUT I booked the bungalow, as you had stated that the walk to the beach was a 'three minute walk'!"

  ! This is inaccurate. To get to the beach one has a very steep hill to walk down. One would have to be very fit and have to run down the hill to make it even to the car park to run the 'three minutes'. Also I had visualised the 'three minutes' as a flat surface. Think you should adjust your profile.

  It was no problem at all for us to leave the car on the drive and go for a walk while they finished. The house was spotless on arrival, so thank you! Keelyn is very comfortable and cosy and has a lovely fully enclosed garden for sitting out in, especially good the week we were there, weather was fab! There is building work going on across the road and the parking by a couple of locals (not by the builders at all) could have been a pain as they did park directly opposite the drive on the narrow bit of road, but as we hardly used the car, it wasn't an issue. I did wonder if the change from Crantock Holiday Cottages to Sykes would make a difference, but it hasn't. Thanks, we had a lovely holiday...see you next year!

• "The only issue we found was that due to the change over in management the handover procedures appeared to be overlooked."

  However, the property manager rang me the same evening and confirmed details. I was also called by the customer services team the following day. The property has been refurbished by the owners with new windows and doors, which have improved the temperatures at night and look of the property. The only negative aspect of the stay, a very minor one being that the bin day appears to have changed from that listed in the guide at the property. It states Tuesday is bin day but they turned up on Monday. Therefore, we missed putting the bag out from the weekend. A lovely village and property with friendly locals and a local shop and supermarket a short distance away.
