This beautifully converted farm building is set in the magical village of Croyde and is surrounded by superb sandy beaches and incredible scenery. Explore the village’s olde-worlde charm before coming home to an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, games room and everything you need for a relaxing seaside stay.

This fabulous property boasts a peaceful location at the end of a no-through road. The cottage has a reverse-level layout with an airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the first floor, offering a splendid relaxing space after busy days at the shore. Admire a gorgeous vaulted ceiling and pronounced exposed beams while you recline on the cosy seating with a glass of bubbles in your hand. While your head chef is rustling up a homecooked meal, gather the troops around the ample dining table seating six. Enjoy fun-filled evenings out in the games room, where the young and young at heart can compete at table tennis, pool and table football. There’s also shared indoor heated swimming pool for those early morning dips and a steamy hot tub for nights in under the stars. Pooches will also be in their element thanks to the eight acres of lawn to sniff out and stunning walking footpaths. The home has two bedrooms on the ground floor, a master king-size with an en-suite bathroom and a triple bedroom double and a single, which boasts an en-suite shower room.

A 12.5-mile drive takes you to this stunning section of North Devon coastline and provides days of surfing, kite surfing, coasteering and the classic portion of fish and chips. Saunton Sands and Woolacombe are also nearby (within 13 miles).

Wonderful relaxing stay. The cottage was beautiful and matched the wonderful views out over the hills towards the river and estuary. The owners were warm, welcoming and helpful. The pool, sauna, jacuzzi were fantastic. The cottage itself was clean, with a well equipped kitchen, and having the washing machine and tumble dryer was a good send as unfoRead morertunately the weather was not favourable the week we stayed. Would highly recommend any of the North Hill Cottages. Hide

The cottage and the location was exactly what we needed. It was beautiful full of character and charm. We absolutely fell in love with it. The peace and the quiet was wonderful. We loved the beautiful rolling hills and the surrounding nature. The single file road leading to the cottage was daunting at first but actually it became quite an enjoyableRead more experience. Somehow in the space of a week being there we have not met one car coming opposite direction. Stunning nature and beautiful cottage. Hide

Comfortable base to explore North Devon; the swimming pool, games room and walks for Dogs are fantastic amenities. Downsides were issues with water and WI-FI. Confident, resilient driver needed to cope with the private, hilltop, single track access, with long drop into the valley below; the main website "access statement" failed to warn the travellRead moreer of the dangers, so we only found out as we drove up in the dark. A little disappointed, with what could have been the perfect getaway. Hide
