I have just returned from a fabulous week's holiday in Holywell Bay, where I was staying in a property called Romany Rye. This has to be one of the most well appointed holiday homes I have stayed in and, despite the fact that they welcome a well behaved dog, was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The whole house is bathed in light and there are amazing views from all the windows at the rear of the house. Many a pleasant hour was spent sitting in the conservatory watching all the comings and goings on the beach. This property really could not be better situated if you are looking for a relaxing break with easy, safe access to a fantastic beach. We took our nine month old Labrador, Murphy, for his first holiday and he had the most amazing time stone fishing in the "waddy" and generally enjoying the sand dunes. We did a fair bit of walking along the coastal path which was fantastic and, despite the fact that the weather was not particularly amazing, we had a really relaxing break. Crantock, and in particular The Cosy Nook, are well worth a visit, as are all the fabulous beaches that this part of Cornwall has to offer. The owners of Romany Rye are to be highly commended for the standard of accommodation they offer, especially the very thoughtful touches like the fresh flowers in the lounge and on the dining table, the welcome basket (including wine!) and the basket of beach towels, not to mention buckets and spades, fishing nets, deck chairs! I cannot speak highly enough of both the property and the service we received from Cornwalls Cottages.
