The cottage was a little out of the way, (we were not familiar with the area) but it was very well equipped. It had everything you could possibly need on holiday. The hot tub was great though the trees were a bit overgrown Internet TV took some getting used to !

What a beautiful cottage, superb through out. Very clean, very tidy and well equipped with all your essential needs. The hot tub was fantastic and lovely to end the day in.

Lovely property, well presented and equipped, very clean, with a really comfortable bed. Hot tub is a great extra. Good location with easy access to Ilfracombe and Woolacombe. We definitely recommend "The Thatch" at Croyde for food and it would be nice if it were included on the welcome letter.

A lovely holiday home in a beautiful, scenic area. Set not too far away to allow travel and adventures to secret beaches and coves, walks and days out aplenty. The amenities included in the holiday home welcome you back after your adventures, especially the hot tub with views out to sea. A super king sized bed, under floor heating & a fabulous walkRead more-in shower all add to the snuggling comforts you feel when you stay here. Definitely worth a visit, but keep it quiet, I want to book again !! Hide
