About this property

Charming Listed Thatched Cottage with parking and short walk to sandy beach .

The Ship Inn Farmhouse is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage with parking and only a 400 yard walk to the sandy beach at Crantock. Part of the property dates back to the 16th century.
This beautifully presented chocolate box cottage lies in the heart of Crantock in a road that leads down to the beach, a minute’s walk from the pub, local shop, and a café. It is furnished in nautical style.
The property boasts a wealth of character including open beamed ceilings, inglenook feature fireplace, original cob walls, and a stable back door. It has recently been fully refurbished with new central heating, a new kitchen, bathroom and 2 new en-suite shower rooms. Many features of the old cottage have been retained giving the inside of the cottage a modern feel but with much character.
The property benefits from an enclosed back garden, with a lawn and terrace for outside dining.

Adjacent to the lounge is a spacious dining room, with a large dining table with seating for 6 and TV. The cottage-style kitchen incorporates an island, butler sink, washer/dryer, dishwasher, American style fridge/ freezer, microwave, oven, hob and is fully equipped. The stable door leads to the terrace and back garden. There is also a ground floor twin bedroom decorated in nautical style.
Original stairs lead to the first floor landing with access to three bedrooms and a bathroom. The large king size bedroom has a wardrobe, chests of drawers,TV and en-suite shower room with basin and WC. The twin bedroom has a bonnet ceiling, with twin beds, a small chest of drawers and en-suite shower room with basin and WC.

Excellent cottage in the perfect location

This is a beautiful cottage with such attention to detail. The bathrooms and kitchen have recently been replaced and are beautiful, showers powerful and plenty of hot water. Kitchen really well equipped and living areas / bedrooms really comfortable and homely. Location is perfect, a 5 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute walk from the local shop / cafe and pubs.

Perfect holiday cottage

We have just returned from a lovely week away at The Ship Inn. The cottage was wonderful and felt very much like home as soon as we arrived. Lots of space for the 7 off us including 4 children age 11-14. Beds were very comfortable and the cottage was very clean. Crantock Beach is within 10 minutes walk, with great parking, beach / food shop and toilets. Lots of options locally to walk and have a meal/drinks- a perfect location. We look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful cottage and location. Unfortunately it was grubby inside and outside. Could hardly see out of the windows. The front entrance was dirty, not up to standard.
