Westcroft Guesthouse

What a brilliant place to stay with kids! just like holidays used to be like by the seaside. The house is only 10 paces away from the beach, ideal for the kids to run back and forth to. lots of rockpools to explore. accommodation is stunning, proprietors Sarah and Dylan couldn't do enough for us. they will babysit if you want to go out for a meal at one of the lovely local pubs or restaurants. once you've arrived, just leave the car in the carpark and enjoy these quaint villages, and take the foot ferry to plymouth.

We were due to fly to France on the 19th and as the weekend prior brought bleaker and bleaker news of the ashy gloom, we decided to cut our losses and try to find something else to do with our holiday. Having heard good things about Westcroft from various websites, we decided to give it a shot.

Kingsand is a heavenly place to lick your volcanic wounds and Westcroft and its amazing proprieters, Sarah and Dylan, made it better than we could have imagined. We rocked up with only a vague idea of the area, having never been there before but knowing that, important for us, we didn't need a car to enjoy ourselves.

The accommodation was good - especially for us as we have a 17 month old. We were put in the self-catering cottage which is attached to the main B&B (though we were also offered gorgeous catered breakfasts as part of our stay - the freshest eggs imaginable).

Sarah and Dylan provided us with a travel cot with a high-quality mattress and all the toddler necessities including toiletries, loofahs, sponges, towels, cot linens as well as toys, books and jigsaws for our little man. Our room was lovely and cozy with a full bath adjacent, complete with claw-foot tub. The kitchen was exceedingly clean and stocked with all the standard pots, pans, utensils etc but also had small things that really made the difference - there were 2 pints of milk waiting for us when we arrived.
