"Had a lovely holiday with every sort of weather possible but it didn’t distract us from going out the owner text us twice to make sure we were all ok especially in the snow, the only suggestion I would like to make is a hand rail up the stairs, the welcome pack was fabulous, hopefully we will visit again as we love this part of Cornwall and surrounding area."
Thank you, so glad you had a great time despite the weather which got rather interesting at times. So unusual to have proper snow ! Thank you again for booking with us …. Neil Property Owner

"Lovely and well equipped property."
Perfect for a multiple generation holiday stay. Basket of goodies on arrival was exceptional and very much appreciated. Owner very helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend this as a fantastic base for exploring North Cornwall and Devon.
Thank you for you feedback we are so pleased you had such a good time. We hope to see you again …. Neil Property Owner

"A lovely property extremely well equipped."
Plenty big enough for the 10 of us plus two dogs. Ideally situated for visiting Bude, Tintagel and Polzeath. Would recommend this to friends
Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased you had such a good time. Thank you again for booking Penhaven, we hope to see you again. Neil Property Owner

"Beautiful house and garden."
4 generations. 4 adults,2 children 1 baby and 2 dogs. There was plenty of room We all enjoyed our stay

"Penhaven worked really well for our family get together."
The house is well equipped and comfortable. The welcome basket was lovely. Supplies were made available and although we came well-stocked ourselves, we were grateful to find rice when I couldn't find ours at the 11th hour. We made good use of all the spaces including the garden. The bunk beds would only work for children, so 8 adults is about the max it can comfortably accommodate. Crackington Haven is a beautiful spot, the pub and bay is a 25 minute walk away, longer on the way back because it's uphill. There are lots of interesting places nearby, great if you have your own transport, and also much of it is on a bus route - although we didn't try this out. I would love to come back here.
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you had such a good time. Hope you see you again. Neil & Rachel Property Owner

"We had a fabulous Christmas stay at Penhaven."
Spacious and very comfortable, just as described. It was great having the family space downstairs and separate lounge upstairs with plenty of comfortable seating. The local shop next door is excellent, and was even open for a couple of hours on Christmas/boxing day. Crackington is a lovely, friendly place and people would say hello and chat when we walked our dogs. The walk to the beach took us about half an hour. It is a big hill, but not all the way! At the beach is a fabulous pub called Coombe Barton, we popped in several times for drinks and food, dog friendly too. There is a lovely looking cafe down there too, but we didn't get a chance to try that. A wonderful house, in a spectacular location, even in wet and very windy December!
So pleased you had a special Christmas down in Crackington, it’s such a special place, the local volunteer run shop, the Coombe Barton pub and the beach cafes, which I can confirm are both brilliant too …. Amazing hot chocolates ! N Neil Property Owner

"Ideal place for two or three couples plus a couple of kids."
Generous welcome pack much appreciated. Clean spacious dog friendly modern house with enclosed garden well designed for holiday letting and a mile or so from the beach, a choice of countryside rights of way down, as well as the road, eateries in C/Haven all good and it is a friendly area. Napoleon Inn at Boscastle highly recommended, Bank Tapas at Bude probably not.
Hi Adrian glad you had a good time. Sorry the Bank tapas wasn’t upto scratch, it’s one of our favourites so they must have been having an off day ! Property Owner

"A good location to use as a base to explore Cornwall."
Ideal for meeting up with other family members. Excellent local pub for food abd drinks. Also the pub has view you will never tire off. Penhavan has all the comforts of home, plenty of room to spread out and is dog friendly. One week isn’t long enough.
Thanks Sue, so glad you had a good time. The Coombe Barton food is amazing ! Neil Property Owner

"The property was lovely and ideally located for Visiting various attractions."
There were a few minor issues with facilities within the property but they were rectified promptly and the owner of the property was very helpful in overcoming these issues.
Thanks for booking with us, and glad you had a good holiday. It really is a special place down here. Hope to see you again Neil & Rachel Property Owner

"Everyone enjoyed their stay."
Kitchen was well equipped and there is plenty of room for everyone to relax. We also enjoyed playing in the evening the many games available.
That’s great Colin, so glad you had a good time, thank you for booking with us …… Property Owner

The only thing I could find wrong with this property was that it didn’t have a pack of playing cards - which I rectified
Thank you June, and I’m sure future guests will appreciate the playing cards. So glad you had a good time and lovely weather Neil Property Owner

"First of all, this property is beautiful, set in a quiet area with stunning views from the upstairs living room."
All the beds were super comfy and the secure garden meant that our pooches couldn't escape. A very comfortable space with all the things from home you'd expect to find in the kitchen drawers! If it's on, we recommend the farmers/craft market next door at the Institue on a Sunday. We bought loads of tasty goodies here and also won a prize on the tombola. We kept the bird bath topped up all week and had so many birds taking advantage of the water. We briefly met Neil the owner, lovely guy too! Constructive criticism:- 1. The grass had been cut but the clippings had been left which meant that every time we walked outside during the morning, the dewy grass was walked in the house (obviously, the dogs never wipe their feet). 2. Some big old cobwebs in the skylight going up the stairs. Not a huge issue i know but some attention to detail is being missed here. 3. The back door (by the washing machine) was almost impossible to lock. Definitely needs some attention as when we arrived it looked locked but wasn't. Would i recommend Penhaven - absolutely! We had a fantastic holiday and having such a beautiful place to come back to made all the difference.
Thanks Adam, great you had a good time, sorry about the back door ….. lock has now been replaced. Hope to see you again …. Neil Property Owner

"This property was worm and welcoming, all mod cons etc, perfect location close to the beach."
We would highly recommend this property for groups up to 10 people.
Thanks Craig, glad you had a great time, hope you will stay with us again …… Neil Property Owner

"A very impressive holiday property, with plenty of room and facilities."
Only negative comment would be the hoover, which could do with a good clean! The kids and grandchildren loved 'the holiday home' and it was also very cosy and pleasant to go back to at the end of the day. We will be happy to rebook here in the future, as it was also in a good location.
Thank you your for taking the time to leave feedback, we have taking your comments on board, and are looking forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Accommodation was very good but slightly let down due to sand in all the carpeted rooms."
Not sure if they hadn’t been cleaned properly or if the vacuum cleaner was ineffective. Minor issues : DVD didn’t work. Lights didn’t work in the upstairs bathroom. Toilet seat loose in the main downstairs toilet.
Hello Martin, thank you for the feedback, I’m so sorry ….. had you let us know my housekeeper would have run around and sorted straight away. They will check everything out, so thank you for letting us know. Hope to see you again next year. Neil Property Owner

"Penhaven is the Ideal Holiday Cottage by the Coast with all Amenities."
A Lovely lounge overlooks the enclosed garden; ideal for the grandchildren. The community shop nearby, was excellent and the staff were very helpful. There are Beautiful coastal walks, with Crackington Haven beach being so close. It is the Perfect beach location, with 2 cafes, a pub restaurant and car parking, all overlooking the Cove. We had a Wonderful Cornwall holiday at Penhaven, with all our Children and Grandchildren. Highly Recommended.
Thank you, we are so glad you all enjoyed your holiday, and hope to see you again ….. Neil Property Owner

"The property was as described."
The beds were comfortable. and there was plenty of seating inside and out. The welcome pack was excellent and much appreciated. There was a play park directly behind the property which was very popular with the 4 Grandchildren aged between 5 and 8. There was plenty of parking for our 3 cars. There is also a small but well stocked shop with very friendly staff a few feet away. The bus stops just outside the property and stops at the beach for rock pooling and swimming. There is also a very nice pub with food, café and public carpark at the beach
Thank you, glad you had a great time, hope you will come and stay again Regards Neil Property Owner

"LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT PENHAVEN - THE LOCATION, THE COMFORT OF THE HOUSE, THE ENCLOSED GARDEN, THE LITTLE PARK AND LOCAL COMMUNITY SHOP, THE PIZZA VAN ON A TUESDAY."
..JUST LOVED IT ALL...THANK YOU...TOP MARKS ALL ROUND.
Thank you Donna, we are glad you all had such a great time ….. hope to see you again next year. Many thanks. Neil & Rachel Property Owner

"We had a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable stay at Penhaven, having 7 nights to enjoy the house and surrounding areas, great for walks, sightseeing and bike hire for a ride to Padstow and Bodmin along the Camel trail, taking in the vineyard for 'refreshment'."
There's easy access to places like Boscastle and Tintagel. The great little community shop next door run by volunteers stocks most things you need including the contents of the great courtesy hamper that greeted us on arrival!! The Coombe Barton pub serves great food and local beers, it's better to book a table (table 7 has a sea view) as it's very popular. The walk back up to Penhaven is steep but achievable and there's also an occasional bus. The house itself has pretty much everything you expect, we made good use of the BBQ for some al fresco dining and we found no sign of peeling wallpaper or mould as a previous review mentioned. Thanks for a great week.
Thank you for you feedback We’re so pleased you had a great time. The poor review we had recently is really odd and sounds as if they stayed somewhere else ! Glad you liked the community shop too. Neil Property Owner
-
"The accommodation was excellent, convenient for several popular locations we visited and well suited for our family group."
The kitchen dining area served as a useful gathering area with the upstairs lounge a nice retreat for evenings. The community shop and park were ideally located and we made use of both. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal but on the days when it was dry for a while it was gave an insight into how comfortable it would be for inside/outside living. A neighbour was also doing some heavy demolition work starting each morning at 7:30, which was unfortunate but did not affect our overall view of the property.
Thanks for your feedback and for booking Penhaven, sorry about our neighbour, thankfully he has now finished his new roof !! Hope to see you again Neil Property Owner

"The house was beautiful and so spacious."
The welcoming hamper was such a lovely touch too. All the beds in the property were super comfy we all had really good nights sleep. The garden was wonderful as I knew I could let my dog out securely.
Excellent, thanks for you feedback, so glad you had a good time. My partner Rachel keeps asking me why the beds there are so much better than the ones we have at home ourselves Property Owner

"What a lovely house."
We had a lovely stay and the owners were really welcoming. A lovely area to explore too with our dog.
So glad you had a nice time, hope to see you again Neil Property Owner

"Stayed here with family ranging from 78 to 11 years and the dog for a week during February half term."
On arrival a beautiful welcome hamper that was much appreciated. Staples in cupboards and jars that was simply brilliant too. Lounge area open and welcoming and the upstairs lounge has a TV and equally comfortable furniture. The fire log burner is a brilliant addition and makes it lovely and cosy. Lovely secluded garden that's safe for the dog to go out in. We arrived in the middle of Storm Eunice leading into storm Franklin and any previous damage was unseen and tidied away by the housekeeper. Sadly during our stay we came home to a powercut - no ones fault just one of those things. The owner of the property had already contacted us on arrival to make sure everything was fine and I let him know when the power went off. He was so brilliant and did everything he could, even though the power cut was out of his hands. Superb host - thank you so much Neil. We ate at the local Combe Barton Inn which had beautiful food and welcoming staff and is also dog friendly. The Cabin Cafe was also a delight and is highly recommended- they were also super lovely during the power cut and provided bacon rolls and hit drinks to the local community. There is a little beach down there too which is very pretty. Next door to the house is a crackington shop ..very small, staffed by locals but very well stocked for all essentials. If I had one criticism it would be the showers ..... they are electric and the intermittent hot and cold water and lack of water pressure can be amnoying ....but first world problems !! Didn't detract from the wonderful time we had but would be nice if they were upgraded to be 5* like the rest of the property. The house is situated in a beautiful village within walking distance if the beach, although its an EXTREMELY steep hill back up !! It is quite far off the beaten track so a good 15-20 minutes to the nearest town. Thank you Neil we gad a wonderful time and you were an amazing host. Would recommend to any large families wanting a laid back, comfortable break.
Thank you for your feedback and patience during the storm and for letting us know about the roof damage and power cut! I’m glad it didn’t detract too much from your stay, it really was a one in ten years storm ! Hope to see you again, with out the storm ! Neil Property Owner

"Wonderful-hamper."
House very clean and comfortable beds.Easy parking.The children enjoyed the play park at the rear of the garden.The newly opened community shop is amazing this is next door to Penhaven so is very handy.Boscastle farm shop has excellent produce including local meat there is also a restaurant which has a good menu They also sell logs for the stove.The downside to the property was the the low water pressure meaning the 3 showers can’t be used at the same time ! Interesting in the morning.The road down to Crackington Haven is not one we would walk there is no pavement also very steep.We drove down and parked in the private car park which being winter had plenty of spaces.A good choice for a large family group.

"We had a lovely stay in Penhaven."
The owners were superb and left a wonderful welcome hamper which got our holiday off to a lovely start. The beds were very comfortable and the house was spacious with everything you need to have a relaxing break. We loved the location, everywhere we visited was a scenic drive and not too far. Definitely recommend!

"Penhaven provided the perfect spacious accommodation for our seven adults and dog."
The games room with floor beanbags proved a great hit with the five gamers in our party as did the good selection of boardgames. There was a separate TV room for anyone who didn’t want to join in. The house was set in a friendly village with a clear sense of community spirit including a produce stall on Sunday mornings. Plenty of picturesque quiet lanes to walk the dog. The walk down to the beautiful Crackington Haven bay was a hilly challenge but there are buses down and the cliff walks have fantastic scenery. The café and hotel near the beach provided good menu with the Cabin Cafe selling top drawer Cornish ice cream and a good vegan selection of light meals and cake. Thank you to the owners for the welcoming cream tea and Prosecco. We very much enjoyed our stay.

"Just return from a lovely week away with our family however the accommodation was disappointing."
It was definitely not a 5 star property would rate nearer a 3 star compared to the property we stayed in last year. It needed to be deep cleaned right through, the extra cleaning for Covid of wiping down door handles with bacterial spray is good but the whole place was dusty and hadn't been cleaned through for a while you could tell by cobwebs in areas and dirt under furniture. Some of the bathrooms were not cleaned to a normal standard with one of showers been dirty and a few of the toilets not fully cleaned.The blinds on the back door were covered in some kind of stain or dirt which looked awful. We had an issue with closing the back patio door so didn't use it after the 2nd day. The standard of the pans was below a 3 star and not what we expected. Lots of things needed updating and were showing signs of wear and tear not expected in a 5 star property. Some things mentioned in reviews 2 years ago not been touched like the garden furniture and the back decking area steps need fixing which could be dangerous. Someone commented on the handsets for the gamers not working which we managed to fix a couple so they could be used. The size of the property was good however not a big enough area to sit more people on sofas downstairs to relax whilst the kids were in the garden. Good location for the area and sightseeing and a good play park for the kids behind the house.
Thank you for your feedback, which has come as somewhat of a shock to us as in over 5 years of letting out Penhaven we have had almost entirely very positive feedback. We were happy to hear you had a lovely week and that the location and property were very nice. The property is deep cleaned every changeover and Covid cleaning guidelines are followed with attention to detail, I visit regularly myself to check too. The garden furniture, large table and chairs to seat ten, was replaced in April this year so is new. Following your feedback we have checked and replaced any worn oven trays and casserole pots, as they have had rather a lot of use this season. New batteries have also been put in all the tv remotes and games handsets, along with additional spares in the utility room. The issue with the back patio door was checked by my housekeeper and all four of the sets of back doors seem to be working correctly. We hope you will visit Penhaven again in the future.

"April 2021 This multi family get together holiday home is just perfect."
Very comfortable, very clean, peaceful and equppied to a very high standard. Most of the 5 star bedrooms are downstairs and one upstairs and are spread out across all corners of the house making them very private. There are also plenty of other areas to chill out away from others if you want but the massive family room incorporating the large and very well equipped kitchen, utility room, dining room and one of the sitting areas is perfect for all to enjoy together any time of the year. The garden is secluded and a great size. It was even safe enough for our little dog to play and explore unsupervised. Fabulous location for exploring the west coast including Bude, Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac and Padstow and so many coastal walks. The only downside is that the walk to Crackington Haven beach is more than a mile and includes a very steep hill but Cornwall is full of hills so it's not a deal breaker and it was worth the walk. Highly recommended. Ms Hayter

"Lovely house, clean and well maintained."
However would benefit from a TV in the main living area downstairs. The sofas and beds were extremely comfortable. Loved the log burner.
-
"This is one of the best accommodations I have ever experienced in a cottage holiday!"
The house was well situated with plenty of room and space for the whole family! The upstairs living room is a godsend when the oldies wanted some downtime from the youngsters! The bedrooms are all really well kitted out with extremely comfortable beds and the garden is just perfect to relax & have a meal in! Crackington Haven has a beautiful little beach but with Bude straight up the coast there are plenty of places to visit! Would recommend going further afield to visit Lost Gardens of Heligan & The Eden Project! Amazing week spent in this glorious house, thoroughly recommend as a base for a fab week in North Cornwall! Stunning!
-
"We had a lovely time at the property."
The owner was particularly good in welcoming us via text, answering a few questions we had by text during our stay - and, when we stupidly managed to leave something at the property, kindly posting it back to us. We will definitely book again with Sykes as always happy with the properties versus their descriptions
-
"What a lovely house."
Was home from home. We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack which included the makings of a cream tea, milk, biscuits and a bottle of Prosecco. Everything you needed was there. It is central for all the beautiful Cornish towns.
-
"Fantastic Holiday Home."
Very peaceful and tranquil . Allowed the rest an relaxation this holiday was for to recharge the batteries etc Can highly recommend to anyone

"We really enjoyed our holiday in this area staying in this beautiful house."
The property is spacious, clean and was as described on the website. It is perfectly situated for exploring the north where Bude is, or to the south for Padstow, Boscastle, or Polzeath Beach. Crackington Haven beach was also lovely but a shame that it was a bit far, steep and a narrow road to walk to with younger children. We appreciated the warm welcome of freshly made scones and other goodies to keep us going. However, some more toilet roll wouldn't have gone a miss as we ran out after 3 days! Also when we went to use the torches they were corroded inside and not working which was a little disappointing. It was great to have a park so close at the back of the property for the kids and a good sized garden for hem to play in. The outside furniture and wooden planters could do with replacing though, to bring them up to the standard of the rest of the property. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at Penhaven and would definitely consider it again for the future.
-
"Beautiful house in a lovely location."
Everything in the house is sparklingly clean, and the beds are amazingly comfortable. The welcome park is to die for! The park at the back of the house - literally a minute’s walk away - is great for the kids, and the stunning beach at Crackington Haven is only a 5 minute walk.
-
"Penhaven is a beautiful house, well appointed and very comfortable for our three generations to share."
It would be useful if the Sykes listings had floor plans and more information about the facilities at the property and the surrounding area. It was a pleasant surprise to discover the property backed on to a children’s playground, my nieces made great use of this. It was also useful as the garden was not as large as I had thought from the photos. Personally it would have been helpful to know in advance that there was a BBQ available for use if you bring your own charcoal and matches. However the owner was very helpful when contacted in providing the extra information needed. All in all a beautiful house in a lovely location.
-
"Beautiful cottage suited our 3 generation family needs brilliantly."
Summerlease beach at Bude fantastic and dog friendly. A shame the local shop opposite has closed.
-
"House & grounds were first class."
Inside had everything we needed to have a enjoyable holiday. We entered a building which has been well prepared for us.clean & tidy along with provisions generally needed on entry ( tea coffee etc ) also a nice hamper full of scones, cream, jam, and cider etc first class all round. Thank you Dave Richards
-
"Excellent layout with lots of space and three bathrooms for 3 generations."
-
"The house was very comfortable and homely."
The welcome basket was amazing! We were surprised that there wasn't a larger saucepan for a house that can sleep ten. We had to go and buy one! And we have never stayed in a place before that didn't have a plug for the sink! Apart from that, it is a beautiful house with a lovely garden, in a very pretty part of the country.
-
"Excellent property for an extended family gathering and in a great location for exploring the local area."
-
"The house lacked nothing and we were pleasantly surprised at receiving a hamper and fresh scones on arrival."
It was equally surprising to find the essentials such as milk, tea and coffee provided too. It reduced the stress of arrival and felt extremely welcoming. Thank you.
-
"Fabulous holiday home Stayed with my family of 6 adults and 3 children for my special birthday celebrations."
House is home from home every thing you need is here! Comfortable, beautiful decorated and has a park for children behind house. Welcome hamper was fabulous. Highly recommend Penhaven for a fabulous holiday.
-
"Wonderful house brilliant for three generations of the family enabling them to enjoy all that Cornwall has to give."
Great for exploring the north coast and taking advantage of walks around the area. Well worth another visit.
-
"A fabulous property which was perfect for our family of 10 (6 adults, 2 children, toddler and young baby)."
The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. We had really good weather so were able to sit out in the garden, and the children loved the play area at the rear of the house, which can be seen from the bottom of the garden. Crackington Haven is a good base from which to explore. Would definitely recommend this holiday home.

"The whole family was absolutely blown away by the quality and location of Penhaven."
We usually book with Aspects holidays for at least two cottage holidays to Cornwall every year and will now always consider yourselves, too. Penhaven is a beautiful, well appointed property which made us feel like we were in a home away from home. There was nothing which we needed that Penhaven didn’t have and it provided a wonderful base to explore Cornwall from. The welcome hamper was a gorgeous extra touch that made us even more excited to begin our holiday. The beds in the property were the most comfortable of any property we’ve stayed in and the living spaces were open & brilliant for the whole family to be entertained. Contact with Neil, the owner, was superb as he got in touch to wish us a happy holiday and again at the end of the week to say he’d hoped we’d had a good time. We’ve never had this with any other property we’ve stayed in and it was a lovely touch. We’ve already begun planning our return to Penhaven and have recommended it to two other big families as we were so impressed with the booking. Thank you so much for a brilliant week; we were so sad to leave!
-
"Beautiful house in a great coastal location."
Spectacular cliff top walks and wonderfully peaceful given we stayed the first week of the school holidays. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Fabulous house."
Lots of space and great garden for children. Beautiful and extremely generous welcome pack - scones were a wonderful touch and very yummy! House was very well stocked with utensils, plates etc. Overall, best place we have all stayed in terms of quality/standard of a rental home. Thank you

About the location
CRACKINGTON HAVEN
Boscastle 6 miles.
Crackington Haven is a charming cove near Boscastle, with a mix of rockpools, a sandy beach and good surf. There are two beach shops and cafes, which are wonderful to relax in and look out over the blue seas of the bay. Walking this section of the South West Coast Path, much of it owned by the National Trust, offers dramatic views, a host of wildflowers and an undulating terrain. Just along the coast is the quaint village of Boscastle, with gift shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, making this an ever-popular visitor destination. The sandy beaches of Bossiney and Trebarwith Strand are within a short drive, as are the surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath. Close at hand lies Tintagel, swathed in the legend of King Arthur, as well as several stately homes and renowned gardens, or the wide open space of Bodmin Moor, famous for its granite tors and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.
