About this property

Lower Hillcott - a large family home that sleeps 12 guests in 5 bedrooms

Amazing outside space with wonderful, far reaching views from the lovely large terrace with table and chairs, bean bags and BBQ. Further up the garden and away from it all, is the sunken fire-pit - perfect for star gazing and listening to the sounds of the surf. Furthermore, in the games room there is an air hockey table, children's table tennis and a dart board along with wet suits, body boards and beach kit - all for your use.

Additionally there is an outdoor table-tennis table.

Upstairs is open plan and full of light. The floor to ceiling windows bring the outside in providing an incredible space with vaulted ceilings and stunning views. Because of this light and to make the most of the incredible views, the upstairs houses the modern kitchen, dining and living space. It's a fantastic place to entertain, relax and enjoy the house. The kitchen is fitted with everything you need for a comfortable holiday with ample space for dining and entertaining. Large comfy sofas and bean bags are in the living room along with a wood burning stove for chilly evenings and double doors leading out onto the decking area, terrace and garden.

Upon entering the house on the ground floor there are two principal bedroom suites, one with en-suite shower room and underfloor heating and the second with a super en-suite bathroom with bath tub and shower. Next are two more bedrooms, both with bunk beds and a single bed in each. Additionally there is a family bathroom with bath tub, shower, basin and toilet.

Above the living area is a mezzanine level, accessed by it's own stairs and through a door, accommodating the fifth bedroom with two single beds. Although the ceiling height is low, it's a cosy, private room perfect for older children

Lastly, there is a useful and practical utility room with a toilet and back door opening onto the outdoor hot shower.

Great house in a fantastic seaside location

Our extended family of 6 adults and 4 older children had a lovely week's stay at the Lower Hillcott, which is just a few minutes' walk to a nice, fairly quiet cove beach. The house itself it a lovely, clean house, well-designed and different to the norm, and of course makes the most of its magnificent views. It has a nice variety of activities to keep you entertained (eg table tennis, air hockey and table football), and there are also wetsuits and surf or body boards to borrow too which is a nice bonus. One downside is that there was no television as standard - I understand it is a holiday and the point is not to watch telly all day - but we thought there are basic things like keeping up with the news, essential soaps, video games etc, which especially when the weather is bad makes it pretty important. The other point some of our party wanted to note was that there were quite a lot of cobwebs. However, there are far more positives than negatives about this house - not least the caretaker Matt, who was the most super friendly, super-helpful and super-quick of any that we have called upon before (and we have done many staycations!).

Stunning property with stunning views! Perfect for a big beach loving family.

We loved staying here. This is our 5th year I think at this property. It suits our large family well and the location and all amenity's are amazing. The games room, wetsuits and all the beach equipment are perfect for the children. This year there are a few things that we noticed needing attention. The stairs have carpet grippers coming through. the wooden stairs outside are broken and a few of the beds need new mattresses. But this didn't by any means stop the wonderful enjoyment we had. We will return year on year as we love it so much. :)

Great location

Lovely house, beautiful views and the addition of games room and outdoor table tennis table a bonus. Easy walking distance to sea, pub and cafe.

A fantastic home and place by the sea!

Lower Hillcott welcomed a group of 10 and we had the holiday of a lifetime. The house was clean and spacious for our group - the views from the living room are spectacular! The village of Crackington Haven avoids the tourism mayhem is Cornwall and the locals are very welcoming. In the village, you will find a a pub and two cafes that both serve local food. The entire village is also brilliant for watching the sunset (you can watch this at the top of the cliff, in the bay or even in the home!). I will certainly be recommending Lower Hillcott to those looking for a quiet getaway in the UK and I very much hope to return myself. Andrew

Family holiday

This was our first stay at Lower Hillcott after spending holidays in Crackington for the last 30 years. As our family needs changed and expanded we looked for larger accommodation, and this provided what we needed. The location was still very good whilst the accommodation and stunning grounds provided what we needed. Matt the caretaker provided excellent service, whilst the accommodation had been very well thought out. We will definitely be returning.

Wonderful!

Really wonderful house in a very special location. Great for walking, the Crackington Haven beach, the pub and cafe. No complaints! A stair gate for toddlers would be my only request!
