Located in Croyde, this contemporary property offers a stylish seaside escape for families and groups of friends. Set within the North Devon Coast National Landscape, it places guests within walking distance of one of the region’s most celebrated surf beaches. Eight people and three dogs have the run of this cool coastal abode, which offers open-plan living along with a patio garden and raised terrace for relaxing in the fresh sea air.
Inside, the reverse-level layout sets this property apart. Upstairs, natural light floods into an inviting open-plan lounge/diner, which combines sophisticated neutral hues with abundant cosy touches. Relax on the sofas after a day of adventure, gather around the dining table for sociable mealtimes, and throw open the patio doors for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is a delight to prepare meals in, with bold blue cabinets, high-quality appliances and a breakfast bar. You’ll find four beautifully appointed bedrooms on the ground floor. The master suite has a four-poster king-size bed with an en-suite shower room. There’s also a spacious family suite with bunk beds leading through to a double bedroom, plus a cosy twin; they share use of the family bathroom. Outside, there are sofas on the terrace, and a large dining table and BBQ in the courtyard garden, along with a handy outdoor shower.
Croyde promises hours of fun, whether learning to surf, paddling with little ones or soaking up the laidback vibes. Three beaches compete for your attention, while keen walkers can hike parts of the South West Coast Path – it’s just over a mile to Baggy Point where you can watch surfers from the breathtaking headland. Further afield, explore the bustling market town of Barnstaple (10 miles), stroll around the picturesque harbour at Ilfracombe (9 miles), or roam moorland in Exmoor National Park (around 16 miles).
