About this property
Cubert. Renovated 16th C. cottage Nr Crantock Holywell and Polly Joke beaches
Elmar is a large four hundred year old period cottage complete with a massive Inglenook fireplace and bread oven situated in a quiet village location tucked away next to the ancient parish church just a mile away from the sea. The cottage comfortably sleeps four guests in two bedrooms.The bedrooms have just been renovated to expose stone and cob walls and a delightful ancient fireplace in the main bedroom Its character features, wood burning stove and quiet location make it an ideal romantic retreat for couples, including those who want to bring their dog away with them.Perfect for families in the school holidays as well. Two pubs, two restaurants and a general store/Post Office compliment the village. Cubert is well located with easy access to Crantock beach, Polly Joke and Holywell Bay. The attractions of the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lands End are easily reached by car as are the famous fishing villages up and down the coast. The surf capital of Britain, Newquay, is only five miles away with its world famous facilities. Cubert however is more suited to those seeking a more tranquil family holiday with very pretty walks to the beaches including Polly Joke which has recently been voted one of Britain’s best secret beaches. Locally there are two pubs in the village including the picturesque Smugglers Den Inn, a delightful 16th Century Thatched Inn a restaurant and organic bakery. . The Three local beaches are all within walkable distance of the cottage. Holywell Bay and Crantock Beach offer vast sandy bays with dunes, rock pools and caves to explore. In between is the gem that is Polly Joke, a gloriously natural beach surrounded by nothing more than National Trust headlands with a beautiful rugged coastline. For walkers, join the South West coastal path which meanders through the three local beaches before rising up the magnificent headlands on its spectacular journey on this section of the coast. Good shore fishing locally, with charter boats available at Newquay.

The property is clearly loved by the owners. Everything one needs is provided and of good quality. Elmar is truly a home away from home. We plan to return for a longer stay.
Beautifully decorated, cosy and comfortable and only a mile to lovely Holywell Bay which is one of the best dog friendly beaches in Cornwall in our opinion. Shop, bakery/deli and fish and chip shop close by. Loads of great coastal walks nearby and so many lovely beaches, pubs and places of interest to visit. Particularly like all the old mine engine houses dotted around and the local history about mining, fishing. Will definitely be returning.
travel down was good, I arrived in time to visit crantock beach. could not find a path off the road which is challenging with a dog and cars but we managed. took a cliff hike to porth joke beach, just in time for storm Dave. wet and windy first evening. the property is cosy and warm, located in the middle of a small village. did not have time to explore the village much. found the village store friendly and most places accommodated me with dog. would come back to explore again.
We spent a wonderful week in Cubert. Very lucky with weather, but the house was full of character, had a beautiful hidden away garden and was veery close to beautiful beaches.
Comfortable accommodation well presented and clean. The welcome manual gives all the information needed to enjoy your stay both at the property and the local area. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
We enjoyed our stay and felt warmly welcome in the Elmar cottageAlthough the weather included Heavy Rains, we would like to come back again. It’s a perfect place to explore Cornwall.
Well equipped clean cottage.
The steps into the bathroom however should be clearly marked as very difficult to see and could be potentially dangerous. Define with different coloured tiling?
Good location close to the coast and situated in a village that has good amenities.

Brilliant there you go says it all.
Nice cottage plenty to do around the area, the beach is only 20 mins away by foot Polly Joke beach that is Hollywell Bay is even closer. Plenty of places to eat or cook yourself in the cottage. Cottage well furnished plenty of plates cups etc washing machine a real bonus iv stopped in Holiday cottages in West Pentire a few miles away and they had no washing machine. The garden is nice and i dried my clothes out there. What more can i say iv been coming to Cubert and West Pentire for 15 years i love the place.
Me with my 2 adult children plus dog. The cottage is perfect for us: Cubert is an adorable village and close to so much all within a walkable distance: a local shop, great chippy, Crantock and West Pentire only a short drive away with Polly Joke beach. Facilities at Elmar are all there, always clean, with a good size kitchen and bathroom. Central heating, fab log fire and cozy lounge for nights in. Lack of Wi-Fi may put younger families off but being able to switch off isn't a bad thing sometimes. We'll be back very soon, again.
Ein absoluter Wohlfühlort für alle, die es ruhiger mögen. Sehr gut ausgestattetes Cottage, stilvoll eingerichtet mit Garten. Perfekt für uns als dreiköpfige Famile, wir wären gerne länger geblieben.
Unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber, kontaktloser check-in.
Es ist ein ganz phantastisches Cottage, klein aber fein! Alles da was man braucht, mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Kontakt zum Vermieter war immer nett. Die Lage ist auch sehr schön, der nächste Strand ist zu Fuß in etwa 30 min erreichbar. Allein der Weg dorthin ist schon traumhaft! Unser kleiner Hund war auch willkommen und hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt! Wir kommen gerne wieder ☺️
This was our second visit to Elmar and we loved it even more the second time. The kids loved having wifi and we enjoyed all the cottages comforts. Cubert is a fab place to stay and was particularly gorgeously decorated for the jubilee. Would thoroughly recommend.
This is a great place to stay. Lots of great beaches nearby.....you just have to get up early to get a parking space (in school holidays). Cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed.
We had a lovely stay, the property is well equipped, beds are comfy, and especially recommend walking to the pub ‘smugglers den’ lovely walk across the fields and very good food. Great for dog walks, Would definitely return. Thank you
The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped. It’s in a lovely village with local pubs and small shops within walking distance. The beaches and walks around the area are great and plentiful.
The garden is lovely although not directly outside the property. Parking is shared with the cottage next door so good communication is required with your neighbours but we didn’t have any problems. I would definitely return and recommend.
Loved the inside of the cottage, beautifully renovated !!!!!... Super location, near to beautiful dog friendly beaches and great to have a dog exercise village field opposite the cottage and an enclosed garden. Our only real problem (not the owner's fault) was when we arrived the boiler was not working so we had no heat or hot water. It took three engineers on three different days to sort the problem. We were able to light the wood burner for heat in the evening but not hot water. Owner very helpful and has given us a partial refund immediately. The steps up (and crucially down) from back door into kitchen are quite steep and when wet slippery. The dog had a crashing fall and so did one of the engineers who came to fix the boiler. Good village shop. Other amenities closed but as Februarly not surprising.
