Comfortable and friendly B&B (ask Bernard about his MGs!) set in a quiet and unspoilt village yet remarkably close to Newquay. Ideally situated for coast path walkers and only a short walk from the clean and expansive sands of Crantock beach. Room (the Blue one) was clean and comfortable, if unremarkable, and had a nice outlook over the fields at the back.

We stayed at Carden Cottage on night four of a walking holiday from St Ives to Padstow. The location is great (just south of Newquay). The rooms are spacious and well laid-out; the breakfast was amazing; and Pat and Bernie, the proprietors, were fantastic and made us feel like we were staying with old friends. We'd definitely recommend staying with them.

We arrived at 8.30pm to a lovely warm welcome by the owners Pat and Bernie.

The whole place is very clean & well maintained. Our bedroom was a delight, very comfortable king size bed with lovely fresh bed linen and towels. There was a plentiful supply of good quality tea and coffee, all were willingly replenished when requested.

Bernie cooked a great hearty full English breakfast with a good selection of cereal and plenty of toast.

Pat & Bernie have been running the B&B for approx 10 years and are excellent hosts , not at all intrusive, they made us feel very much at home during our stay and were full of useful local information. Bernie even gave us a lift to the start of our walk and arranged car parking for us at the village hall when we vacated their B&B to continue our walk.

Crantock is a very quaint little village, mostly holiday lets now within a few minutes walk to the beach. There are two pubs, The Albion which is more of a drinking pub and The Cornishman opposite which serves large portions of delicious well priced food.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Carden Cottage - enjoy as we did!
