Property code: OC-HECTOR

Take a break from everyday life at this chic, contemporary-style villa in the heart of the surfing resort of Croyde. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms, this is a great accommodation option for small families or groups of friends who want to experience a perfect beachside getaway on the North Devon coast. Spend happy days discovering the hidden coves at the Baggy Point or catching a wave in Croyde; and in the evening, come home to the villa’s lovely garden and take a relaxing dip in the outdoor hot tub.

Step inside and you’ll find a smart open-plan kitchen/dining room that’s perfect for sociable evenings with your loved ones. Make yourself at home in the living room – it’s bathed in a beautiful palette of coastal hues and boasts lovely garden views - before venturing to the chic kitchen area to cook dinner. Gather the gang for a sociable dinner in the stylish dining area, which is bathed in natural light from the bi-fold doors that lead out into the courtyard garden. Or, if you prefer dining alfresco, simply step out onto the patio and take a seat at the table. After dinner, grab a drink and make your way to the private tub to relax under the stars. When the day is done, you’ll find three lovely bedrooms to choose from on the first floor.

Grab your binoculars and go birdwatching at Braunton Burrows Nature Reserve (4.5 miles), which is home to an impressive array of larks, skylarks and warblers. Or pack up a picnic and get the gang together for a day of traditional seaside fun at Putsborough Beach (1.5 miles). Or take a surfing lesson at Croyde Beach (0.5 miles), which boasts one of the UK’s premier surfing breaks.

We loved staying at Hectors house, it was comfortable and well equipped and in a great location. Little touches like the outdoor shower were very useful. It really felt like home from home.

Holiday house was as described and very clean comfortable and we'll presented with everything we needed. Location was ideal for the beach and access to other areas. Original Cottages kept us well informed every step of the way with texts and everything very easy. Just book pay and go. Couldn't be easier.

It was in a great location and the house was lovely, with everything you need. We'd definitely book again. The only thing we'd say is that there was work being done chopping the tree outside the house. It was incredibly loud and started early in the morning and throughout the day. But other than that it was excellent.

Your service was very good. Good and clear communication. Only given you a 4 for 'likely to return' since I really don't know at this stage. It is highly probable. The reasons for the 4 under property are linked. There is an ariel photo of Croyde attached to the details for Hectors House which we assumed were photos of the actual property. It eRead moreven says Hectors House above the photo. However it is a general picture, and Hectors House isn't even in it. That was a bit disappointing, but was made up for bu the excellence of the propery itself. Hide

We have stayed at Hectors house before and found the facilities and location perfect for us. The poor score for equipment is down to the Hot Tub. We had a visit from the Hot Tub maintenance on the Thursday of the stay telling us we could not use it as there was an issue with the sample taken. Apparently we should not have used it at all during our Read morestay. Hide
