21 Self-Catering Cottage, perfect family beach holiday – pet friendly on request.  

Our cottages are fully furnished, serviced daily and include free Wi-Fi.

What started as a spark of inspiration and a piece of coastal farmland back in 1976, has culminated in to a remarkable family journey of three generations and the evolution of what is today known as Crawford’s Beach Lodge, the jewel of the Wild Coast.

It’s not just the miles of pristine beach right at your feet, the luxurious accommodation, delicious meals or even the unmistakable warm hospitality that will keep you coming back… this is a place where your soul will find peace and your mind can recharge.

So, in the immortal words of Old Man Roy…

Welcome to paradise!
