Small but reasonably well equipped cottage for active people who search for a place to start their coastal walks. The floor heating is a bless in damp times.
Had a great time in the cottage! We felt welcome from the very first moment! The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Very modern kitchen, cosy sitting/dinner area, lovely bedrooms and a beautiful garden with sea view!
We loved all the helpful information we got in advance!
Thank you very much, weâll be back!
Beautifully warm, pretty little cottage. Lovely downstairs space with underfloor heating and log burner. Sheltered garden with westerly views. Excellent community shop over the road. We greatly appreciated all the additional information Tim emailed to us - especially the beautiful walk from the cottage to the beach.
Just what we were looking for. Traditional cottage very well equipped. Rugged coastline with great variety of beaches and things to do. Feel like we need to return because a week wasn't long enough to explore everything we wanted to see. Tim's information gives an accurate description of the experience you will have. Definitely follow Tim's and other visitors recommendations.
Couldnât find cottage as description said red door. It was grey/green. Key safe didnât work therefore no key available until we made phone call. All chairs at the property were very uncomfortable. Old and worn out. No shower curtain.
Well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. Good heating, which is necessary as windows had condensation inside and doors and windows draughty.
Cost cottage home out of the way of tourists with a lovely garden and comfortable bath upstairs to soak in. Great location for Tintagel and Boscastle. Host was generous with giving information and tips. Perfect for getting away from it all!
Wir, zwei Eltern mit 18jĂ€hrigem Sohn, hatten knappe drei traumhafte Wochen in einem schnuckeligen Cottage mit attraktivem Garten. Wir haben uns in dieser Zeit wunderbar erholt. Quasi von der HaustĂŒr aus konnten wir tolle Wanderungen machen, mit MuĂe oder zĂŒgig ans Wasser laufen, dort in einem vorzĂŒglichen Pub einkehren und mit Freude wieder in unser Cottage zurĂŒckzukehren.
Auch der kleine Dorfladen hat seinen Charme versprĂŒht und die dort ehrenamtlich Arbeitenden waren immer zu einem kleinen SchwĂ€tzchen aufgelegt, was, dank der MitarbeiteInnen, auch mit mĂ€Ăigen Englischkenntnissen gut zu machen war.
Da wir mit unserem Auto dort waren, haben wir uns ĂŒber den Stellplatz vor dem Haus gefreut!
Kurzum, uns hat in diesen knappen drei Wochen nichts gefehlt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Sehr schönes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Cottage mit einem wunderschönen Garten. Der Gastgeber hat sehr schnell auf Fragen geantwortet und viele hilfreiche Empfehlungen gegeben. Toller kleiner Dorfladen um die Ecke. Sehr zu empfehlen das Eis, haben noch nie so leckeres Eis gegessen
Wir können das Cottage uneingeschrĂ€nkt empfehlen. Tolle Umgebung, einfach alles perfekt. Das Cottage ist alt, aber sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, wir haben uns sofort wohlgefĂŒhlt und nichts vermisst. Es ist perfekt fĂŒr Familien, die im Urlaub Ruhe und viel Natur haben möchten.
Wir haben uns in dem kleinen HĂ€uschen sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt und hatten einen wunderbar entspannten Urlaub. Auch wenn das Wetter leider nicht ganz so schön war, konnten wir viel unternehmen und haben uns auch immer gefreut wieder in unser HĂ€uschen zu kommen. Die FuĂbodenheizung ist ein Traum und Abends noch ein biĂchen den Kamin anschĂŒren, war herrlich gemĂŒtlich. Das Haus war sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man so braucht. Gleich nebendran gibt es den Crackingtin Village Shop mit superfreundlichen Mitarbeitern und einer sehr guten Auswahl an Lebensmitteln usw. Wir wĂŒrden wieder dieses Cottage buchen, wenn wir mal wieder nach Cornwall kommen.
We had a comfortable stay in this atmospheric and lovely cottage. The heated floors were wonderful after some chilly sea swims and the back garden was a lovely place to sit. The exotic birds next door added to the atmosphere and were charming, never intrusive or up too early :)
There's a great little shop 2 minutes' walk away with basics.
The beach at Crackington Haven was just stunning and the Coombe Barton inn a great place to have a drink or dinner overlooking the water. There are lovely beaches all around the area within 10 minutes' drive, so the cottage is well situated.
Very happy with our stay.
Perfect experience of Cornwall through thoughtful hosting
This was the perfect experience of cottage life in Cornwall. The cottage was comfortable, well situated and quiet. Beautiful sunrise in the morning with all the soothing sounds of Cornwall life. We arrived late on our check-in date, and Tim was incredibly accommodating and helpful. Truly the perfect host. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quick "recharge" in your life and who is looking for an authentic Cornwall experience. Lots to explore and little gem restaurants within the area. Thank you Tim for being such an informative and gracious host.
We have been fee years ago To Èt ives and penzance But this year we picked north Cornwall in Bude , Crackington haven ! We had a great and visit amazing places like Padstow , port Isaac , Newquay, Boscastle, and lots of bay or waterfalls in st Nectanâs Glen in Titangel , Titangel castle too. Amazing bays and valleys or hills and the amazing ocean plus villages . People who lives theyâre lives there are so lucky !
Communication with Tim (the host) was very good from booking through to the holiday itself. Information about the property and the area was clear , accurate and helpful. We tried some of Timâs suggestions but couldnt do all (due to lack of time). Cottage was a good size , cosy and generally as per description. Garden was lovely with views over fields to the sea.Parking beside the property was helpful as properties dont always offer that in the area. The cove is quieter than some but still has ample parking, 2 cafes , a pub, shop and toilets. Cider farm nearby. Walks from the door. Generally a great experience and a brilliant place to stay and weâll look to return.
The property was good, the birds & dogs next door were noisy on the Sat we got there, but it did settle down.
The shower tap needs attention as it leaks.
We enjoyed our stay very comfortable and good access for places to visit.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It's location was ideal for coastal walking, and we really enjoyed the tranquil nature of the garden. Everything was as expected given the description, and the neighbours were extremely helpful (as were the various detailed instructions given by the host for walks to the beach (and beyond). Whilst Padstow, Bostcastle and Bude were exceptionally busy, Crackington Haven was a peaceful joy!!
Lovely little cottage, well equipped and everything was very clean. Beautiful garden with patio furniture, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine before dinner.
A really great place for a relaxing break by the coast.
Lovely traditional Cornish cottage. Two Small bedrooms and an open plan kitchen living room . Comfortable indoor furnishings and garden furniture to make the most of the charming cottage garden. The off road parking place is good but rather small. Would be ideal for a young family of four.
Tim Mercer works in London and lives with his wife, Samantha and two children. Tim spent the first 20 years of his life in North Cornwall and has many happy childhood memories of the beautiful beach at Crackington Haven.
Naturally I am biased but I do believe the bay at Crackington is one of the most beautiful on the Cornish coast and an absolute delight for children. The cottage is gorgeous and in a great location for exploring all of Cornwall. Rain or shine, we always leave feeling refreshed and rested.
