Forge Cottage had a missing ridge tile causing a leak into the double bedroom. The housekeeper did mention it to us upon arrival and that she was trying to sort a roofer to deal with it. However, with all the wet weather, including Storm Ciaron, this leak meant us having to put a bucket by the bed to catch the water. The cottage was unbearably damp, with wet and mouldy windows and the air blow heating was not sufficient to dry out the property from the roof leak. The windows could not be opened to allow air to circulate either. There were only skylights which with the rain, could not be opened either. We ended up leaving early as we could not bare staying there any longer. The housekeeper did her best, but this property should not have been let out to us with the roof leaking into the bedroom where we had to sleep....

We were so sorry to hear of this and we just want to reassure you that this was not an ongoing issue that we had been aware of in order to discuss the impact on your booking before your arrival. Unfortunately, the tile had come down, and being right in the middle of some horrendous weather, roofers were not able to safely repair this straight away. Sadly, with all the wind and rain, the windows could not be opened to air the property at the time either. We have been in touch since to discuss this with you further and offer our apologies, but we would again like to stress that we were so sorry for the very unfortunate timing of this. The owner and we completely appreciate that this was a far from ideal situation, but they have since confirmed that the repair is complete, and the property dried out and back to how guests would expect.

The cottage is in a fantastic location. Close to amazing beach walks and local pubs, restaurants and shops. We will definitely visit Crantock again. Disappointed that the lounge furnishings did not reflect the photos on the website. Our comfort was affected. Maybe some updated photos are required. ...

Cannot recommend Forge Cottage enough. Wonderful location. Spotlessly clean. We would book again.

We really enjoyed staying at Forge Cottage. We stayed at the end of January with two dogs. The village / pubs were extremely dog friendly which was a welcome bonus & the beach ensured they exercised themselves - hitting the sand and playing. The lady at the local Londis was informative and welcoming, as was Jo the housekeeper / agent. The church was an added bonus for history lovers - within a beautiful setting and dramatic lighting within, with an amusing story around the back of a criminal who broke free from the stocks and fled to sea, before being tried for his crimes. Both pubs served good food and welcomed dogs. Its definitely on our 'return to' list. Also, I loved listening to the owls in the night - a rare opportunity ! ...
