Overall a comfortable and enjoyable stay but the property is looking a bit tired and dated compare to others we've stayed in at the same location. The outdoor enclosed garden was great for our pooch.

We had a lovely stay in Sandpiper cottage. Superb location for both beach and village centre. It's a bit of tardis with three good sized bedrooms, a generous lounge and equally generous bathroom. Very cosy base for hiking, surfing and just chilling out.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay 26/9/2025 at Sandpiper cottage. Perfect location, lovely chalet all you need for a great holiday. The owners have thought of everything to make a holiday enjoyable. The garden is secure, which was just right for our 2 small dogs. The house was spotless, well maintained and cared for, the dishwasher is a great timesavRead moreer, the kitchen is well stocked should you feel like cooking. The location is amazing, just over 5 minutes to the beach along a pretty path through the sand dunes. Lots of amazing places to visit nearby, Baggy Point, Northam Burrows Country Park/beach, Morte Point, Croyde village, Woolacombe, to name a few. We havent stayed in Croyde before but will certainly come back. Thank you for providing such a lovely holiday home. Hide

Great location for the beach, the village and the pubs. The chalet was well equipped but felt it needs a bit of TLC with the decor although it was very clean. We struggled a bit with the outside gate as it was hanging off its hinges but needed to open and close it due to having a dog - not great.

Although the cottage is small, our 4 adults and 2 young children had a lovely stay. It was clean and adequately equipped. We hardly used the car as you could walk to the beach, village and the lovely walks in the area. A lovely holiday experience all round! We would definitely stay again!
