Overview
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.

yearly 2026 holiday in cornwall
5/5
5/5
This is the second year we have stayed at this accommodation in crannock and again all we can really do is complement the owners for the warm welcome that we received . For the second year running we arrived to a lovely clean and well maintained property . There was a welcome basket with lovely scones , clotted cream , jam and biscuits from Cornwall which was very and was very yummy . There was also some fresh milk in the fridge which was also a very nice touch just to get you started , there was also other other things like condiments, waste bags .tablets for dish washer there was also pods for the washing machine in case you felt the need to do some washing , basically lots of subtle touches to help make the holiday better than it was going to be , if that's at all possible . The weather while we were at wish you were here was fabulous so needless to say myself , my wife and our little (girl pebbles the dog ), had a ball again this year , just like we did last year . so much so we have been home less than a week and we have already booked again for next year (2027) , which really says wonders of how lovely this property is . For us this is the perfect property , it is well maintained and looked after , it is minutes from a lovely beach ( crannock)and walking distance from many other beautiful beaches , ( the tide was perfect on our stay so one day we walked across 5 beaches at the waters edge as tide was going out had a coffee in Newquay and walked back again , stopped at lusty glaze beach for a bottle of wine then walked along the short cliff walk and down onto Porth beach making it 6 beautiful beaches on our return . The village of Crannock which is 4 or 5 minutes stroll away is a charming village , which has a well stocked convenience store if you need anything , it also has some lovely pubs and other places to eat at which do very nice food . From a purely selfish point of view i would have loved to keep this wonderful property under our hats so we could spend many more years coming here ourselves , but that would be morally wrong as this property is a rare find so needs to be appreciated by as many people as possible . Finally we would again like to thank the owners , The Plumley family for helping to make our stay just perfect . We are already counting down the days till our next visit in 2027 .

Hi Mario, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful, detailed review about our holiday home and your stay in Crantock. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to be able to welcome you back for a second, consecutive year. We are looking forward to having that pleasure again in July 2027! I am delighted to hear that you very much appreciate how clean and well maintained Wish You Were Here is and enjoyed all the little touches I provide to make your stay welcoming and extra special! We always strive to maintain the highest of standards, providing our guests with the absolute, best quality experience we are able to, during their stay! It makes all the hard work, achieving this, extremely worthwhile. It’s great to know you were able to make the most of all the fabulous local coastal walks and beaches, that are minutes away from our home and that the fabulous weather, for your adventure with your four legged friend Pebbles was “the icing on the cake’! I am pleased you were able to make the most of all the immediately local amenities we are blessed to have in our small village, in particular the two pubs, serving good food are certainly a very beneficial asset, so near to our property. I’m sorry we can’t keep our property under your ‘hat’! This unfortunately wouldn’t be a viable proposition for Luxury Coastal or myself!! However, I’m sure with plenty of forward planning I am confident we will always be able to make room for you for many years to come[Emoji Removed] Thank you once again for choosing WYWH! With warmest wishes, Sally (owner) & The Luxury Coastal Team

My wife, 2 mad labradors and myself spent a week at wish you were here at the beginning of September and cannot wait to return next year. The property is perfect for couples & families with everything you need for a great night in after spending the day exploring Cornwall. The location is the best weve experienced when staying in Cornwall and is perfect if you just want to park the car up for a week and explore the local area on foot but is also ideal for quick drives out to visit some of the many great attractions. Crantock village is lovely with 2 great pubs and a brilliant bistro / pizza restaurant, plus it is literally on the beach! In a nutshell we absolutely loved our stay and will be back next year to finish the jigsaw we started!

Hi Paul, What a marvellous review, thank you so very much. I am thrilled to know that you loved your stay at our home and that we provided you with all you needed. Also that the near beach location was perfect for you, your wife and two lovely Labradors. It was great to hear you were able to make the most of all the brilliant amenities Crantock village and the immediate surrounding area has to offer. I look forward to making you very welcome again next year, hopefully! Perhaps I can arrange for another jigsaw to keep you going! Although I would wish you only the very best weather during your stay, so the puzzle wouldnt be necessary!! With very kind regards, Sally (Owner)

just returned home from spending a weeks holiday at wish you were here in crantock . The house was fabulous and everything as it was described on the booking site . The was reasonable new so everything was still in excellent condition . on arrival there was a very nice and well appreciated welcome basket with scones jam and clotted cream plus a lot of other little nice touches that you would not always get when staying at holiday homes , The house itself was lovely and clean and the location was excellent and very close to the local shop ( 4 minutes stroll )which stocked most things if you needed to use it including lovely fresh Cornish pasties and sandwiches if you fancied a nubble . The 2 local pubs where 2 minutes on from the shop . we tried both for food and we enjoyed our food at both places . Crantock beach is fabulous , very big and most important , dog friendly and was about a 10 or 12 minute stroll from the house , we visited most days evening if it was just to run our little girl pebbles ( the dog), there are other beaches very close by that can be driven too in 10 minutes , or you can do what we did and walk which was lovely around the coastal routes . Fistral beach can be reached by walking to crantock beach crossing the gannel estuary then walking about another 20 minutes which we did on a couple occasions . Then on our return from our daily trips out we relaxed in the lovely spa at the property , so needles to say we can honestly say very thoroughly enjoyed our stay at wish you were here and for us it was the perfect holiday and would recommend to anyone . Will we return again , Absolutely yes , it would be ashamed to not return and take advantage of this lovely holiday home and the wonderful place it is situated at . thank you to all for helping to make our holiday very special .

Hi Mario, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, it is much appreciated. I am so pleased to know you thoroughly enjoyed staying at our 'special place', that is 'Wish You Were Here’, so much and that on arrival you found everything just as you viewed it on the booking site... and more! I’m pleased you enjoyed your cream tea hamper and the extra touches we provide to hopefully make our guests feel most welcome. Which, is of course, of the utmost importance to us as holiday home owners. It's great to hear the house was lovely and clean for you on arrival and in excellent condition. It’s also good to know that you very much appreciated it’s location being in such close proximity to the many local amenities we are blessed to have right on our door step! I’m so glad Pebbles, your four legged friend, and yourselves of course, had such a brilliant time walking on the beautiful Crantock beach, enjoying the many coastal path walks and also managed to venture across the River Gannel to experience the famous Fistral beach in Newquay and all it has to offer too! It’s fantastic to know you made good use of our relaxing hot tub, enjoying it each evening after all your walking with Pebbles! I am delighted to hear you describe staying at WYWH, as your perfect holiday and that we managed to play our part in making it so very special for you all. We look forward, very much, to welcoming you back soon. With very best wishes, Sally (Owner) and The Luxury Coastal Team.
