About this property

Cosy, little, rural retreat, dog-friendly, chiminea and bbq, perfect for couples

Cosy, little cottage annexe nestled in the hills in West Cornwall. Located approx 1/3 mile up a country track a world away from the crowds but 5/10 mins drive from beautiful beaches. PLEASE NOTE: The track is not suitable for sports/low cars or specially modified lower cars. It is fine for 'normal' cars driving slowly. Also please note there is restricted headroom in the bedroom and shower room and the door to the shower room is narrower and lower than a standard door so might not suit everyone.

Couple- and dog-friendly, Little Crofty is located in the middle of beautiful countryside reached via a rural, bumpy, country lane.

5-10 minutes drive from numerous beautiful beaches on the South Coast (Praa Sands, Perranuthnoe, Marazion, Rinsey, Kenneggy cove). dog-walking, walking, mountain-biking, coarse fishing, wildlife and bird-watching on the doorstep. Rural views. Enjoy the surf at Praa Sands and Perranuthnoe, admire picturesque St Michaels Mount at Marazion or seek out the secluded beaches at Prussia Cove. See choughs and Peregrines at Rinsey Head and seals at Godrevy. 15-20 minute drive to three miles of Golden Sands at Hayle or take the 15 minute branch line to St Ives and visit the famous Tate Gallery. The property is light and airy, with a pretty patio garden outside to sunbathe or have a barbecue. Your welcome package will contain everyday groceries. There is one bedroom with a double bed. shower room and a cosy lounge. The pleasant nearby village of Goldsithney has two charming pubs, a local store and Post Office.

PLEASE NOTE: LITTLE CROFTY IS LITTLE! :)
1.* There is restricted headroom in the bedroom and shower room. It is just over 6' in the middle but slopes down at either side. The door to the shower room is narrower and lower than a standard door so may not suit everyone.
2. The shower has a seat installed to cater for the restricted headroom.
3. Little Crofty is approx. third of a mile up an unpaved, bumpy, rural track. It is not suitable for low cars or those with modified/lowered suspension but is fine for 'normal' cars driving slowly.
4. One large/medium dog or two small dogs are welcome at Little Crofty but we do ask that you keep them downstairs and off the furnishings. They are not to be left alone in the property under any circumstances. Please clean up after your dog and wipe muddy paws. There is a pet fee of £25 per dog which is payable at the time of booking (please select 'pets' on the booking page).
5. We live next door and will be available if you need us. ( Little Crofty shares a wall with our house so you may occasionally hear minimal noise from our side.) On your arrival, we will meet and greet you but other than that we will leave you in peace to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Little Crofty is self-contained and has its own private entrance so there is no need for you to interact with us unless you want to!
6. We have septic tank drainage so please do not put anything other than natural waste and a minimum of toilet paper down the toilet. Please where possible use eco-friendly washing and cleaning products.
7. There is no washing machine at Little Crofty but you are welcome to borrow ours by arrangement and a nominal fee.
8. There are many byways and bridleways around Little Crofty but even in summer, these can be wet and muddy. Wellies and/or walking boots are a good idea, as are old towels for muddy dogs :)
9. Please bring your own towels for the beach.

Little Crofty
An outstanding little retreat with beautiful gardens, set in extremely peaceful surroundings. Both Jenny and Des were lovely and welcoming from booking through to our stay. Highly recommended as an ideal base on the South West coast, allowing easy access to explore Cornwall or just relax in the gardens and take in the local countryside through beautiful walks. Definitely somewhere we would stay again. Perfect!!

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Calvert-Corp

Host profile image
I grew up in the St Just and Pendeen area of Cornwall, and after studying and working in Bristol came back to Cornwall in 2000 to be nearer my parents and to raise a family. My husband is Bristol born but has fallen in love with Cornwall and everything it has to offer. We have both worked in hospitality and have 20 years experience of letting properties. We take pride in the property and holiday experience we offer.

Why they chose this property

Little Crofty is a magical, idyllic place. The air is clean and the lack of light pollution mean that on a clear night the stars are simply stunning. It is in the middle of the countryside up a long, leafy lane, 5 mins drive from the nearest villages and beaches.

What makes this property unique

Little Crofty is light and cosy, with a sunny patio, perfect for sunbathing or having a barbecue. The 'back field' is perfect for starting a walk or looking for signs of badgers. The surrounding byways and bridleways are ideal for nature-watching, exploring, dog walking and mountain biking. Star-gazing at night is a must!
