Star icon A quintessential Cornish Cottage in the Heart of Crantock Village within walking distance to the Beach

Set in a plum coastal location, The Brambles is a beautifully styled Cornish cottage made for rest, relaxation and a healthy dose of beach life. With open-plan social spaces, a charming cottage garden, 3 spacious bedrooms and a fresh new interior style, this welcoming home offers a peaceful retreat for families, friends and couples looking to enjoy the best of Crantock and the surrounding coast.


Inside, the cottage blends character and comfort with a light, airy feel that makes it easy to slip into holiday mode. The open-plan living space is perfect for gathering together, whether you’re enjoying lazy breakfasts, planning the day ahead or settling in for cosy evenings after time on the coast. Thoughtful touches and a relaxed coastal palette create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.


Outside, the cottage garden offers a lovely spot to unwind, from morning coffee in the sunshine to relaxed al fresco meals on warmer days. Welcoming up to 2 dogs, The Brambles is also a great choice for four-legged companions and easy coastal adventures.


Located in the picturesque village of Crantock, you’ll find everything you need close to hand. A well-stocked village shop, 2 traditional pubs and a friendly, laid-back community create a wonderfully relaxed setting. The village is full of charm, with pretty cottages, quiet lanes and easy access to the surrounding coastline.


The golden sands and blue waters of Crantock Beach are just moments away, reached by a gentle stroll down towards the shoreline. Backed by dunes and the Gannel Estuary, this is one of Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches, perfect for swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, wildlife spotting or simply soaking up the scenery.


For those keen to explore nearby, the South West Coast Path runs close by, offering breathtaking walks in both directions. Head towards Newquay for surf beaches, restaurants, cafés and family attractions, or keep things wonderfully simple with beach days, pub lunches, estuary walks and relaxed evenings back at the cottage.


The Brambles is a superb coastal cottage for relaxed holidays, beach adventures and memorable escapes with family, friends and dogs in this much-loved corner of North Cornwall.

Step Inside

The Brambles is a charming mid-terrace Cornish stone cottage, full of character and made for relaxed holidays by the sea. Step inside to a welcoming hallway with plenty of space for all your coastal kit, from sun hats, sandals and beach bags in the summer to winter coats, wellies and walking boots in the cooler months.


From here, the cottage leads straight into the heart of the home: a bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen space designed for easy holiday living. The chunky wooden dining table can be dressed to impress for celebrations, long suppers and special occasions, or kept simple for relaxed breakfasts, family meals and catching up after days spent exploring the coast.


After a busy day on the beach or walking the surrounding coastline, sink into the comfortable corner sofa and settle in for the evening. Dig out the board games, pop on a film or simply unwind together in this cosy and welcoming space.


The fully fitted kitchen has all the modern appliances needed to create your holiday menu, from hearty breakfasts before a day at Crantock Beach to laid-back lunches and slap-up suppers using local Cornish produce.


From the hallway, follow the staircase to the first floor, where 2 beautifully styled bedrooms await, each finished with pared-back, stylish décor for a calm and restful feel. The family bathroom, complete with deep bath and separate shower, adds comfort and convenience to this floor.


The third bedroom is tucked away in the eaves of The Brambles, creating a spacious and peaceful primary bedroom with its own ensuite shower room. With its charming cottage character, thoughtful styling and home-from-home atmosphere, The Brambles sets the scene for a luxury seaside holiday in the heart of Crantock.


On Your Doorstep

Set over three levels, the newly transformed outdoor space at The Brambles is perfect for socialising, relaxing and making the most of coastal life. Dine together on the first level, where a spacious outdoor table sits just off the kitchen, creating an easy flow for al fresco breakfasts, sunny lunches and laid-back evening meals.


On the second and third levels, guests can enjoy lazy days lounging on the comfortable rattan sofa or curling up in the dreamy egg swing chair with a book and a drink in hand. Thoughtfully designed for outdoor living, this charming cottage garden offers plenty of space to unwind after sandy beach days and coastal adventures.


Crantock Beach feels like an extension of your garden, with golden sands just around a 5-minute walk from your holiday door. Dip in the sea before breakfast, spend long afternoons in the surf, or simply wander down for sunset strolls along one of Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches.


Backed by soft sand dunes and framed by attractive cliffs, Crantock Beach opens out onto wide seascapes and the beautiful River Gannel. The estuary offers calmer waters away from the surf, perfect for paddleboarding, gentle paddling and family beach days.


At high tide, a small boat shuttles beachgoers across to the Newquay side, where the much-loved Fern Pit Café is a local favourite for crab sandwiches, cream teas and views over the Gannel – a real hidden gem of the area.


For walkers, the South West Coast Path is close by and well worth following west towards Polly Joke and onwards to Holywell Bay, known for its sweeping sands, dramatic dunes and appearances in BBC’s Poldark. Head the other way and you can explore the energy of Newquay, Watergate Bay and the wider North Cornwall coastline.


Closer to home, Crantock’s traditional village pubs are well worth a visit for Cornish ales, hearty food and a welcoming atmosphere after a day beside the sea. Whether you’re planning beach days, surf sessions, estuary adventures or cosy cottage evenings, The Brambles offers the perfect coastal location in every season.
