Reach the delightful Croyde Bay within half a mile from your doorstep, setting off each day with surfboards and buckets and spades in tow.

Lovely bungalow in great location. Very well equipped. Hot tub a bonus. Fully enclosed garden ideal for dogs and kids. Seagulls and their babies were entertaining although their early alarm call was not so good.

A beautiful home with everything you need. The hot tub is amazing and we used it every day. It was the perfect way to end the day. The home was beautifully decorated and very comfy. Croyde itself is a peaceful village and the pubs all do excellent food. In fact I think we visited all the cafes and beach bars and they were all amazing and just addedRead more to an already perfect place to visit. Hide

Excellent cottage / bungalow in a great location. 5 minute walk to the beach and the same into Croyde. Ideal for a dog as enclosed garden (someone did mention that it was not but no issues for us with a Golden Retriever). Provides everything you need for a great break. Hot tub was an added bonus.

A lovely, clean, modern and well kept property in a fantastic, quiet location in-between the village and the beach. Ideal for those with older or younger families. Enclosed garden, decking area with seating, sun beds and hot tub - perfect for our teenage children. Close to coastal walks. Would definitely stay in this property again.

Lovely property in the perfect location. Showing signs of tiredness in a few areas (outdoor patio furniture) but nothing that spoiled the holiday in any way.
