This property accepts 1 dog as standard. 2 dogs are accepted on request.

With a vibrant village atmosphere and a stunning dune-backed beach, Crantock is a dream coastal destination on Cornwall’s dramatic north coast, just two miles southwest of Newquay. Wedged between the Pentire Headland and the Gannel River Estuary, Crantock Beach boasts fine golden sand and crystal-clear surf making it ideal as an all-rounder for families and water-sports enthusiasts alike. Surrounded by a postcard-worthy slice of countryside which forms part of The National Trust, the area is strewn with meandering footpaths that offer visitors the opportunity to take in not only incredible sea views, but also the sights and sounds of a wealth of flora and fauna local to the area.

Positioned within just a short walk of its sandy stretch and just a short distance from the village’s pubs and restaurants, Wish You Were Here is a contemporary two-bedroom holiday home with an enclosed garden and hot tub, that offers families and couples a relaxing retreat in a fantastic seaside location. Open plan in design, its modern living area is airy and light; perfectly proportioned to include a dining space, lounge and kitchen, with double doors opening out to the patio and garden to allow the fresh sea air in. A lovely spot to soak up the Cornish sunshine or for relaxing with a post-beach drink, the outside space is furnished with a rattan suite and is completely enclosed so that guests who have their four-legged companions in tow can let them stretch their legs.

Upstairs are the property’s two tasteful bedrooms which comprise a master en suite with double bed and a second with twin zip and link beds that can be configured as super king size on request.. Both bedrooms feature a cool grey scheme with crisp white linen and large windows that lend a bright and airy feel, to create a peaceful place to retreat to after fun-filled days spent down on the beach.

Crantock village is home to a handful of good pubs and restaurants, the most frequented and popular of which being the traditional Old Albion Inn, and across the road the Cornishman and the fashionable C-Bay Cafe. Both the Old Albion and the Cornishman host many live music events. Across the river on the Pentire Headland, are the wonderful Sea Spray Café and The Fish House Fistral; easily accessed from May to September via the small foot ferry from the Gannel Estuary.

*The following can be provided in the property if requested at the time of booking: stair gate, travel cot, high chair, potty, step stool, toilet trainer seat.
Please note that in the interest of hygiene a cot mattress is not supplied and guests are asked to please bring their own
If the stair gate is requested, guests will need to fit the stair gate themselves at their own risk and are solely responsible for the safe and correct fitting.


Please note that if you do not require the hot tub for your stay, you can save £120 (the cost of cleaning & sanitising per changeover). Please enter NOHOTTUBWY25 for a 2025 arrival date during the booking process

Nice house but you must follow the rules …

A modern house in the lovely village of Crantock. Walking distance to beach, pub, shop etc. Nicely furnished and well equipped. Allocated parking space a few doors up from the house. Hot tub a nice extra albeit it a little exposed to both the elements (weather) and neighbours. Disappointed it was fixed to Eco mode meaning you had to choose between heat or jets, but not both together. Newquay and various supermarkets a short drive.

The only negative was the numerous laminated instructions left all round the house - don’t do this, don’t do that, turn this down, turn that off, only use this if you have to etc etc., plus warnings in the welcome book that if you do this you may be charged, and if you don’t do that you may be charged etc. I appreciate that holiday homes need to come with instructions and maybe not all guests are as respectful of the properties as we are. However there’s a fine line between ensuring the property is not misused vs making guests feel uncomfortable, when they’ve paid to stay there.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your review, we agree, Wish You Were Here is conveniently located in the lovely village of Crantock, and well equipped. We will pass your feedback onto the property owners regarding Eco Mode for the hot tub, so they can discuss this with the hot tub company further. Unfortunately there have been occasions where guests have not followed requests to be environmentally friendly and the house rules, which have resulted in avoidable, expensive, repairs and replacements to the owner, hence their unfortunate need for notes in the welcome information folder and some laminated notices. The folder is intended to assist the unfamiliar guest, to help them understand how the house works, not hinder a good holiday experience. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Absolutely Perfect

There is literally nothing more you could wish for when staying at Wish you were Here. A fully equipped kitchen; comfortable lounge and bedrooms. Spacious bathrooms. A stones throw from the beach and a quick drive to Fistral. And of course: the hot tub!

An amazing property, fresh & modern, high quality appliances with the added bonus of a hot tub which was spotlessly clean.

The garden was the perfect size, contained plenty of furniture which again was clean and smart.

Its just a few minutes stroll away from the village with 2 pubs and a pizza restaurant then a further 5 minutes to the beautiful beach of Crantock,

We were a family of 4 with a small dog.

We would certainly stay again.

Superbly clean, comfortable and well equipped. We spent the Christmas week at the cottage and loved every minute of it. We enjoyed walks to the beach - literally down the hill - not even 10 min walk; we even enjoyed an invigorating swim on Christmas Day. We did a few runs both along the cliffs and to Holywell bay along the road - hilly but bucolic. We were left delicious treats by our host - even down to the personal touch on the Christmas cake - thank you! The hot tub was a perfect way to end the day after walking and running. We (including our pup) couldn’t have asked for more!

A lovely little home from home. The cottage was very well equiped with everything you might need. It is within easy walking distance of Crantock beach on a lovely little quiet private development. We were welcomed on arrival with cream teas and Easter Eggs for both the children, a lovely little touch. Had a wonderful stay, would definitely recommend. We will be returning.

We found this delightful property in Crantock was
spotlessly clean , extremely well equipped and a real ‘ home from home’
The newly installed hot tub was a bonus and the secure enclosed garden was super for our little dog. Everything was as described and we were pre warned about ongoing road/site work which didn’t impact our stay apart from us worrying about bringing the dust and mess from outside the front area into the property.
We stayed on for an extra day which was easy to arrange via email and look forward to coming back in the not too distant future
