Overview
Property code: OC-SPIND

This wonderful property offers accommodation that is as close to the beach as you can get. Located on the edge of Croyde Bay in North Devon, this upside-down house has been designed to take full advantage of its location. Croyde is ideal for family holidays and has become a popular destination for surfers. From the house, you can enjoy direct beach access and stunning views of the ocean. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday, where you can spend time on the beach, take a dip in the sea, explore the rock pools, or sit and watch magical sunsets.

On the ground floor, the three bedrooms provide flexibility; the master has a king-size bed, en-suite shower room and access to a terrace with decking and patio. The remaining two bedrooms have twin and single beds, as well as TVs and DVDs, while a family bathroom completes the convenience. Upstairs, the open-plan living area offers a contemporary feel with oak floors, leather sofas and a TV with surround sound, plus patio doors to a balcony. The fully equipped kitchen/diner has a vaulted ceiling and a large dining table so everyone can enjoy meals together. Head outside and soak up the sunshine on the ground-floor terrace, or first-floor balcony, where outside furniture and a BBQ await. Secure storage is provided for your surfboards, and you can shower off any sand when you come off the beach.

Croyde is an idyllic seaside village located in North Devon, boasting an array of family-friendly activities and a vibrant atmosphere. With multiple surfing schools and gear hire shops, the beach is the perfect place for a day out. However, Croyde offers far more than just the beach. There are traditional pubs, exciting attractions, and scenic nature trails, including the South West Coast Path, which takes you to the National Trust’s Baggy Point. Nearby towns such as Barnstaple (11.5 miles), Ilfracombe (10 miles), and Bideford (20.5 miles) offer a range of attractions, and Croyde’s neighbouring resorts, Saunton (3.5 miles) and Woolacombe (5.5 miles) provide many more miles of coastline.

We really enjoyed our stay at Spindrift and felt genuinely sad when we had to leave. The house was clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. The position is stunningly beautiful and handy for the beach, coastal walks, the surf school and NT tea rooms. We're looking forward to staying there again in the future.

What an absolute gem! Incredibly, we found this property had a vacancy last minute as we needed somewhere to recharge our batteries and we were able to do just that. Clean, fresh & well thought out with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay, including comfy beds, fluffy towels, a well equipped kitchen, lovely indoor and outdoor seatRead moreing areas overlooking the water and a thoughtful welcome package. Access to the beach is right outside your door if youre happy to scramble over the rocks or a short walk to the main beach entrance. Within stumbling distance of two lovely cafes and walking distance of Croyde village we were lucky with the weather so didnt venture much further than that. Would absolutely love to return. Hide

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location. Lots of room. Would recommend if you want access to the beach over the rocks, good for surfers, with an outside area to hide off boards and wetsuits.

Wonderful stay at Spindrift We had a fantastic stay at Spindrift. The cottage was spotless, very comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views overlooking Croyde Bay a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the scenery. The host was friendly and very responsive throughout ouRead morer stay, which made everything easy and stress-free. A couple of small points: although a BBQ was listed, the one provided was quite rusty and stored in a cupboard it didnt look usable. Also, the washing machine could do with a deep clean. That said, these were minor issues in an otherwise brilliant stay. Wed happily recommend Spindrift to friends and are already planning to book again next summer. Hide

A superb house next to the sea, literally. Just off the marvellous surfing beach of trendy Croyde with windows & a patio facing the sea. Very well equipped & clean house. Ideal as a base for exploring the area including the stunning Exmoor with the Valley of the Stones a real highlight.

Wunderbares Haus direkt am Meer. Stellplatz am Haus. Gegenber ist ein kleines Caf des National Trust. Der South-Coast-Path fhrt am Haus vorbei. Die Bucht ist ein Surfer-Traum. Wir haben den Aufenthalt wirklich sehr genossen.
