We have just returned from a 6 night break at the Highfield Lodge in Crantock.
The locaton was perfect for us as it's very close to some lovely beaches and plenty of coastal walks. The village is a 5 minute walk and there's some excellent places to eat nearby ( i would recommend the Smugglers Den Inn and the Cornishman ). Newquay is also a 10 minute drive away.
The accommodation is very clean and comfortable with flat screen tv's, tea/coffe making facilities and a hairdryer. We stayed in the suite which was a bit extra but well worth it.
There was plenty of choice at breakfast, i alternated between pancakes and a full Cornish - both were lovely, you can also order kippers or haddock but have order them the day before.
Dave and Lisa were great hosts and gladly provided us with a few items that we had forgotten and were happy to give us plenty of tips on places to visit and where to eat.
On the whole we had a great holiday and we would definately return here.

My wife and I flew to England from Switzerland to walk the South West Coast Path. Wishing to avoid Newquay because of its reputation, we chose to stay at Crantock which has a small and pleasant village, a couple of pubs and lovely sandy beaches. The welcome might have been warmer had we been accompanied by dogs to this dog friendly establishment. We were informed several times (both orally and in the room literature) that the owners believed that keeping dogs is preferable to raising children - thank goodness we hadn't brought our children with us! The quality of the room furnishings were average which included an old style TV. We were given 1 small tube of hair and body wash for the 2 of us which was not replenished on Day 2. Breakfast was very standard and, all-in-all, there was nothing to make us want to return or to recommend it.

Linda and I stayed at the Highfield Lodge from Friday 3rd June to Monday 6th June.

Firstly a big thank you to Dave & Lisa, two of the most genuine people you will ever meet, exceptionally caring and went out of their way to make for a perfect stay.

The lodge is modern, has everything you'll need in the exceptionally clean room TV/digital, comfortable bed, ensuite, chill out CD, tea/coffee facilities and some exceptional views from the rooms.

The breakfast is first class, Linda and I were very cheeky and had the full english every morning, as we could not get enough of the 'cornish banger' and the rest of the delightful food.

We were highly impressed as there were 'no rules' and what I mean by that Dave & Lisa ask to treat the lodge 'like our home'...key to get in whenever you like, if Dave & Linda were out of the room help yourself to anything behind the bar (and leave a note as to what you have drunk)....I feel this sums up the couple and their wonderful abode/lodge.

The dogs are beautiful too and rest assured they're kept out of the areas you would expect.

Such an amazing stay at a lesser price than others in the area and we'll be returning without a shadow of a doubt!

Thanks Nick Eaton

We stayed for 4 nights in the flat to the side of Highfield Lodge, and our experience was much the same as those others on this site who enjoyed a friendly and unobtrusive welcome. We have two dogs and Dave and Lisa were relaxed and very easy going when it came to their needs and ours. The flat is very well looked after and our stay was an excellent one. We would have absolutely no hesitiation in recommending Highfield Lodge and Dave and Lisa, to anyone.
