Get the whole gang together to create memories that will last forever at this stylish bungalow just half a mile from beautiful Croyde Beach. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms, this immaculate property is ideal for families or groups of friends in search of a classic British seaside getaway in North Devon. Explore the laid back streets of the charming village of Croyde in the morning and go for an exhilarating hike at beautiful Baggy Point Nature Reserve in the afternoon. In the evening, come home to the cottage to pull up a chair on the private decked patio and watch the stars come out.

Step through the front porch and you'll be greeted by a beautifully-styled open-plan kitchen/dining/living room that’s flooded with natural light from the large windows, patio doors and skylight. Make yourself at home in the relaxing lounge area before heading to the sleek kitchen area to whip up some dinner. Enjoy a leisurely meal with your loved ones at the dining table, or step outside into the pretty courtyard garden and dine alfresco. After dinner, pour a glass of wine and indulge in a little star-gazing, or head to the living area to settle in for movie night. At the end of the day, there are three lovely bedrooms to choose from.

Grab your hiking boots and head to Baggy Point Nature Reserve (2 miles) to hike along the cliff path and spend a little time watching the surfers ride the waves below. Alternatively, pack up a picnic and enjoy some quality beach time with your loved ones. You'll have a hard time choosing between the gorgeous Croyde Beach (1 mile) Saunton Sands (4.5 miles) and Woolacombe Beach (5 miles).

Highly Recommend - Will definitely stay again - Great location to beach and village, both within short walking distance of the house. We're a family of 5 with two teenage surfing mad boys and our 9 year old beach mad daughter, so easy access to the beach and village was vital for us. Property was clean, well maintained, and well appointed. TheRead more high ceilings make the rooms feel spacious and open. Roof widows are an excellent addition if you are lucky enough to get hot weather like we did, and there is also no shortage of fans and TV's with both in just about every room. There is an electric fireplace in the sitting room although we never used this due to the glorious weather we had and sofas are a comfy relief after long days at the beach. Kitchen is well stocked will all the utensils, pots, pans, plates, cutlery, etc that one needs stashed away and available in the cupboards and draws. The breakfast bar and two stools are a nice touch and made the perfect place for me to feed the boys before they disappeared for the day. The outside shower is a massive positive as being able to de-sand and wash down outside before going into the house works really well especially with children and all the surfing and beach kit. All-in-all, a Great property, excellent location and we had a perfect week in Croyde Bay. Hide

Wonderful well-designed accommodation within a short walk from the beach. A large off-street parking space is included along with an outdoor shower for when returning from the beach. Although the accommodation is on a small footprint, the internal layout maximises the space and has a light modern airy feel. The equipment included (oven, hob, dishwRead moreasher, etc) is of a high standard and the lounge area is very comfortable having large fabric sofas, rather than of the nasty faux-leather variety. I would definitely recommend it and would love to stay again. Hide

We stayed in this cottage for a four night break in winter with our large dog and baby. There is ample space in the accommodation and the location is excellent for the beach and the local pubs. The cottage had most of the things we needed for our stay it kitchen equipment. We did feel it lacked a cosy factor though and felt a little cold bare in moRead morest of the rooms. We had some issues with heating and contacted Marsdens who were really quick to respond. The owner came quickly to look at the problem whilst we were out but we still didnt feel that the underfloor heating (the main source of heating) was fixed - although the cottage naturally warmed up after us being there a couple of days. It would have been nice to have a call back to check our issues had been sorted. The beds were really comfy and we slept well. All in all we had a lovely break and the location of this property was great for us, future guests wouldnt be disappointed. Im not sure we would go back to this particular place as we have had more preferable accommodation in the area before. Hide
