A two-bedroom cottage located at the end of the West Pentire headland, Guillemot is a beautiful coastal bungalow offering sea views. Decorated with bright, summery colours, this well presented cottage certainly has a coastal feel to it. With a fully enclosed patio at the back of the property, it's a great place to enjoy the stunning views over Goose Rock and the Newquay coast. The property also benefits from being pet-friendly, making it an ideal location for those wishing to bring their dogs. Guillemot is also just a five-minute walk from Crantock Beach one way, and a short walk to Polly Joke Beach the other, making it a haven for families, walkers or surfers. A few minutes' walk away is The Bowgie serving food and drink with the same fantastic view. Also near-by is C-Bay, a Bistro with great food and a lovely family atmosphere, and of course, the view. Just five minutes' drive away, or a 20-minute walk, you will be able to find Crantock village. Located in the village you will find local amenities including two pubs, a grocery store and a post office, along with other village attractions.

Crantock is a small Cornish village set back from the coast close to the popular resort of Newquay. If you want to escape the crowds, yet still be close to the action, this is the place to be. There's stunning countryside all around and lots of pretty villages to explore; however, it is the coast that dominates. Enjoy superb walks along the coastal path over dramatic cliff-tops, or magnificent surfing on beaches stretching from Watergate Bay in the north to Fistral beach in the centre of Newquay and on down the coast. There are a number of golf courses in the area, National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.
Reviews

"Lovely accommodation with amazing views. Beautifully decorated with comfortable bed and quality products. Great location if you like coastal walks and dog friendly."
"Lovely accommodation, spotlessly clean, comfortable, warm (for out of season breaks) great views and in a really peaceful spot."
"Just had a wonderful week here.Took my Mother for her 90th birthday. Great for young and old alike also for touring local places, Newquay/Perranporth/Polly Joke all close by. Lovely coastal walks and wonderful scenery. The property is first class, absolutely spotlessly clean and homely. Just sank into the wonderfully comfortable beds.Great views of the sea. Nothing too much trouble."
"A beautiful cottage overlooking the stunning Crantock beach, although our favorite was the quieter Poly Joke just down the hill. A great welcome from the property manager on arrival alongside tea/coffee making facilities and Cornish shortbread- a lovely touch! The newly refurbished cottage was a wonderful surprise as we also stayed last summer, although we didn't feel it was needed as it was lovely the previous year- still a wonderful job of refurbishing the bathroom, kitchen, and most soft furnishings. Overall a great stay, beautiful scenery and breathtaking views of Crantock."
"As an extended family group of 10 we booked Guillemot and Cormorant for our annual get together. We had three generations staying in the two properties which are next to each other. It worked really well as we all had our own space, could do our own thing, but still get together as a group through out the week. The two properties are lovely and Guillemot where we stayed was beautifully presented with a wonderful shower room, kitchen and comfortable sitting room with views over Crantock Bay. Again beds in all the properties were really comfortable and both properties were well appointed with even an expresso coffee machine in Cormorant. We have stayed in Crantock Village previously but the properties we had used were already booked so we thought we would give these two a go. We were not disappointed. They are so close to Polly Joke beach which is almost deserted with an away from it all feel. Guillemot is only 5 minutes from the beach over NT land which has wonderful views over the sea. We will be back next year to Crantock. We now have to decide if we stay in the village or come back to West Pentire, a tough choice. We dined out locally this year but also took advantage of Tesco delivering at the start of our holiday and again part way through. Seemed better to shop from the iPad that spend time in a supermarket when on holiday. The wonders of fast broadband."
"A very tastefully decorated and furnished cottage. Compact well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a good sized living/ dining area. My husband and I had a very enjoyable mid week stay in March, the location was beautiful, and I would definitely stay here again."
"The apartment is situated on headland with fabulous views over Atlantic. The close proximity to two great sandy beaches, ideal for families. The accomodation is well organised and comfortable with patio overlooking sea -great views! Well furnished with all one needs for a relaxing holiday. Great walks along cliff tops are easy to access and wonderful for wild flowers and birds. Did have problem with shower/hot water but with a quick reaction from property manager - problem was addressed."
"the bungalow was clean and comfortable shower hose needed replacing shower tray fills when in use making it very slippery radiator was rusty oven didn't work top oven smoked when in use setting off the smoke alarm and the heating cost was very expensive 2.99 a unit we was carefull with the heating and it still cost us 48.00 for 6 days as we left a day early"
