“Quiet paradise in Cornwall”
Dale cottage is as beautiful as the photos show. It is in the heart of the village, close to two pubs and walking distance to the famous Crantock beach.
The good:
Beautiful, very clean, large, 4 bedrooms, quiet location but a great spot to be for touring around all of Cornwall. WiFi is great! Laundry washer on site. Beautiful, peaceful backyard. Bathrooms are very clean and modern. Parking spot is secured for the cottage. Large fridge and the kitchen is well supplied to make meals for 6 people. Morrison's grocery store is very close which has everything one needs. The manager of the property, Tracey, was very friendly and helpful! Was able to stop by in minutes if we needed anything.
The not-so-great:
The furniture coverings are tired. A bit stained and in need of replacement.
A couple of the cabinets in the kitchen have a damp smell when you open them.
The cottage connected to us had dogs which is fine but my daughter had some trouble getting to sleep at night. We were on the top floor and didn't hear a thing but she did complain about noise from the dogs next door as she tried to go to sleep.
This is a top-notch, family friendly cottage that was perfect for our vacation! I would come back and stay again in a heartbeat! Great value for money with this property.

About the location
CRANTOCK
Newquay 4.5 miles.
Crantock is a small Cornish village, just a short walk from the beach, close to the popular resort of Newquay. If you want to escape the crowds, yet still be close to the action, this is the place to be. There's stunning countryside all around and lots of pretty villages to explore; however, it is the coast that dominates. Enjoy superb walks along the coastal path over dramatic cliff-tops, or magnificent surfing on beaches stretching from Watergate Bay in the North to Fistral beach in the centre of Newquay and on down the coast. There are a number of golf courses in the area, as well as National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, plus attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.
