This four-bedroom property overlooking the beach in Croyde, North Devon, is the ideal destination for a large family or two smaller families wanting tranquility and to be close to the sea.

Designed with comfort in mind, the interiors are traditional and homely with almost every room drenched in light from glass doors and large windows. On the ground floor, a dining table seating eight people is the ideal spot for sociable meals but for a more casual bite-to-eat head to the spacious kitchen. Afterwards, plump sofas in the sunroom and cheerful living room invite you to sit and chat or simply gaze at the glorious sea views. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find a twin and a double bedroom on this floor. Both bedrooms are wonderfully serene with neutral tones and neat décor. From the ground floor, a staircase leads up to the first floor and a snug lounge where you can watch the famous Croyde sunset. Also on this floor, you’ll find a further two bedrooms featuring a super-king and three single beds with both rooms boasting sea views. Back on the ground floor, step outside onto the patio and enjoy breakfast at the table. Children will love running on the extensive lawn while you breathe in the sea air. Alternatively, step through the garden’s private gate and enjoy a stroll on the beach.

With Croyde Beach right on your doorstep, you can spend the day swimming, surfing, or rock pooling. Croyde village (0.5 miles) is also worth a visit and has many family-friendly pubs, restaurants, and local shops. The more energetic can jump on the South West Coast Path and enjoy a 3.5-mile walk to Baggy Point or a 6-mile hike to Crow Point.

Outer Bias is a beautiful house, it is very spacious & a comfortable home from home. However the most amazing thing is its situation which is above Croyde beach with access from the back garden gate. However you should be aware that there are steps which can get rather congested as they also provide access for the car park and campsite across the rRead moreoad. The nearest pub & shop is a twenty minute walk away but there is a bar at the campsite opposite. The garden is very spacious, a great place for a variety of games or just watching the sunset. Overall Outer Bias provided a pleasant & comfortable base for a very enjoyable family holiday. Hide

Stayed at outer bias recently over Christmas and new year for 2 weeks. Loved every minute of it. Lovely size house for family, plenty of bathrooms, seating, and the grounds are huge. The gate at the bottom of the garden was a god send for the grandchildren, straight down to the beach. Very clean, everything you need for your stay. A lovely cosy cotRead moretage. I would highly recommend, we will definitely return. We would 100% recommend. Hide

A beautiful, spacious house in a perfect location. We were two families with five teenagers and the easy access to the beach from the property was a real bonus. We loved everything about this house and would happily go back.
