This is in an excellent location and the characterful cottage is well presented. The back garden was acceptable, particularly given the drought conditions but would have benefitted from a bit of maintenance. The wisteria in particular would benefit from trimming around the door. The towels were disappointing and would benefit from replacement. We sRead moretruggled with the fridge, some days it was warm and somedays very cold. We don't think is was the door as we made sure it was always closed. Space is at a premium and the freezer is very small. Great for ice and cool blocks but not much else. There are plenty of places to eat nearby but you would have to plan your meals carefully if you wanted to self cater, particularly if you were relying on frozen foods. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily go again so none of the above comments are show stoppers. Hide

Ideal location in Croyde, you cannot be more central. Not really suitable for wheelchair access due to steps between rooms. The kitchen is well laid out with ample cutlery, crockery and appliances. The beds are comfy, but wardrobe space is limited. The lounge is spacious with ample seating and a modern good size TV. The cottage is cool even in the Read moreextreme 30-degree temperatures we had due to the thick walls and small windows. We have already booked for 2027. Hide

We had a lovely week at Burrows Farm East! The cottage is in a perfect situation to access, cafes, pubs, shops and beach. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.

The property is half of a lovely old thatched house in a great position, yards from a bakery in the village centre and a 15-minute walk from the beach. The kitchen is well equipped, theres plenty of space to sit and the beds are reasonably comfortable. We had a great time but it may be worth knowing that the garden contains small hazards for small Read morechildren, including a sloping drop, and our Golden Retriever easily jumped the gate into a road.

An amazing location and well equipped cottage. The bathroom is slightly outdated upstairs but fully functional and the location and rest of property more than makes up for it.

Bed linen and towels etc need updating. It would be nice if they were matching in the rooms. Bathroom upstairs need a revamp, very 70s.

This is a lovely comfortable home which our group of 6 adults, a toddler and a dog, all thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. As stated, the cottage really is set in a great location, with very easy access to shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach. The owner and the housekeeper are on hand and were quick to resolve a minor issue in finding the listedRead more stair-gate. It is worth noting, when planning grocery provisions for a large group, that there is only an under-counter fridge in the kitchen, and a separate small counter-top freezer in the utility porch; and that the local shops nearby are well stocked. We would definitely choose to stay here again in the future. Hide
