Cosy Cornish beach cottages – Fall in love with Tresawle

Cornish beach cottages don’t come much more cosy than Tresawle, a sturdy, attractive holiday home in Langurroc, Crantock. It takes six adults and one child under two and it’s right in the middle Crantock Village, which makes in marvellously convenient. There’s handy private parking for at least two cars off-street and the gorgeous sandy beach – equally popular with families, couples and surfers alike – is only five minutes’ walk away. So you can ditch the car for the duration if you like!
Tresawle is a large, airy detached house that’s recently been renovated to a wonderfully high standard. We’ve done a fantastic job – if we say so ourselves – and our visitors love it! You’ll enjoy your own sloping private gardens and a useful back garden area too, complete with two patio areas and a lawn. We’ll be finalising the landscaping during winter 2011 but it’s lovely right now, perfect for outdoor fun and games in private.
Indoors there’s two sitting rooms, lots of comfy seating, TV with FreeSat and a DVD player. Plus a fireplace with a log burner to take the chill off and help you create intimate, romantic evenings. There’s an excellent kitchen dining room with a smart double oven, induction hob, big fridge and freezer, dishwasher, filtered water and a microwave.
There’s three bedrooms with lots of storage space, which you can arrange as either two doubles and one twin or two twins and a double. Plus – a real essential for sandy, sunny, happy, grubby Cornish coastal cottages holidays with the kids – a big, spotlessly clean family bathroom with a corner bath, shower, sink and loo.
There’s oil fired heating if you need it, a washing machine and tumble drier, phone and Wireless Broadband. Best of all, there’s two really good local pubs on the same scenic lane, which also leads down to pretty St Carantoc Church. As Cornish coast cottages go, it’s a beauty.

Cornish coastal cottages – Five exciting things to do on the beach
With our stunning Cornish coastal cottages for rent in Crantock, in Feock and on the Camel Trail, there’s every opportunity for fun and games on the county’s countless beautiful stretches of beach.
If you’re a sun worshipper it’s obvious what to do when you get there; slap on the sun cream, pick up your towel and roast for the day! But what if you’re the opposite of a sun worshipper, someone who burns easily, gets bored sitting around or has little kids to keep entertained?
Here’s our top five ideas for making the most of the glorious sands and rocky inlets near our Cornish beach cottages.
· Buy a book about local sea life and wildlife and take the kids on an adventure. Rock pools are packed with amazing mini-beasts like shrimp – which are completely see-through – to edible crabs and hermit crabs, limpets and even cowrie shells if you’re lucky. Plus there’s interesting sea weed, sand worms and strange beach-loving insects to discover
· Cornish coast cottages deliver the perfect opportunity for a beach all-nighter. Wrap up warm, take food and drinks and stay up to see the sun rise. There’s nothing quite so lovely and you can always sleep on the beach next day… you’re on your hols!
· Walk along the beach when the tide’s low, exploring the coastline from sea level instead of up on the coastal path. Just take great care with the tides – get a tide timetable and set off when the tide’s on its way out, giving yourself plenty of time and making sure you don’t get stranded
· Make the world’s biggest and most elaborate sandcastle. Make it human-sized if you like. Create it below the high tide line and give saving it your best shot when the tide comes in. It soon gets hilarious when the waves start encroaching and your lines of defence, trenches and walls come crashing down. The kids will go home very happy… and suitably exhausted!
· Make it your mission to find treasure. Treasure can be as prosaic as a beautiful piece of worn driftwood for your garden or as special as a rare sea shell, mineral, crystal or fossil. And your Cornish beach cottage is the perfect place to store your treasures, much better than in a tent or hotel room. Go collect… natural souvenirs hold wonderful memories!
Cornwall dog friendly cottages – Introducing beautiful Chapel Barn
It’s self catering Jim… but not as we know it! We’ve spent a lot of time, love and effort getting gorgeous Chapel Barn up to scratch. Once neglected, tatty and sad, now it’s a gorgeously comfy and good looking example of Cornwall self catering accommodation at its best. And, along with the rest of our properties, it delivers top quality Cornwall dog friendly cottages for couples and families who like a spot of real luxury with their furry friend in tow!
So what’s the story? Chapel Barn is a stunning detached period cottage on two floors. It sleeps as many as four grown ups and one child under two. So it’s perfect for two-couple breaks and family holidays, with nice, big beds and large ensuite bathrooms for privacy. Plus a loo upstairs.
The building itself is absolutely charming, a listed barn dating back to the 1600s. It’s in the perfect position too, just outside the lovely little town of Bodmin down a secluded lane, and just five miles from Poleybridge. But best of all, it’s right on the amazingly lovely Camel Trail.
The what?! The Camel Trail. You’ll love it. It’s a beautiful multi-use trail, an old railway line that winds through the unforgettable countryside between Wenfordbridge and Padstow, meandering along the edges of the spectacular Camel estuary. Brilliant for safe, scenic horse riding, cycling, picnics and walking with out a hint of traffic to disturb the deep, green peace. There’s wildlife, flora and fauna galore and plenty of places to hop off the trail for drinks and snacks.
Chapel Barn has its own private garden, west-facing with sturdy table, chairs and bench seating. It’s amazingly comfortable. It’s close to some of the county’s best attractions. There’s broadband on tap for free. It’s furnished in attractive contemporary style, packed with personality. And you couldn’t be more convenient for the Camel Trail if you tried!
