Walking, mountain-biking, coarse fishing, wildlife and bird-watching on the doorstep. 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. The shower has a seat installed to cater for the restricted headroom.
2. One small-medium dog, max 22kg allowed. Please keep dogs downstairs and off the furnishings. Dogs not to be left alone in the property. Please bring own dog bedding, bowls and old towels (the lanes can be muddy).
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 very slowly.
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.
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.
9. Please bring your own towels for the beach.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

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.
