A fantastic house only a minute or two from the village and about 10 minutes' walk from the beach. We loved staying here, it had everything we needed for a family of four adults and two young children, including a well kitted out kitchen and a brilliant space for living room/dining room, with a balcony and garden for the sunny days. Everything was Read moreclean and there was no need to contact the caretaker while we were there. Thanks for a lovely stay! Hide

A home from home, right in the centre of Croyde. Large lounge with balcony providing beautiful views across the village, where you could hear the sound of the ocean. Loved the log burner.

The property was amazing, a real home from home. lovely welcome gifts on arrival even for the dog, it was cleaned to a high standard - everything you needed, I got a bit confused with the recycling with the amount of bins but after taking the leaflet down with me the 2nd time it was sorted. The dog settled really well in the property which for Read moreme is 100% brilliant as he doesnt settle well, so 100% recommended from us and the dog. Would love to live in / near this area and the house made us feel welcome, comfortable and really at home, we were happy there, we didnt want to come home as it felt like home. Thank you and we Highly recommend this property. Hide

This is a lonely spacious holiday home within a couple of minutes walk to restaurants and a small shop and a lovely 10 minute walk to the beach. The upside down layout worked well giving views from the living room balcony. We had a 1 year old with us and the property was child friendly with travel cot, high chair and stair gates provided. The beds Read moreare comfortable and the property was clean and is well equipped. We enjoyed meals at the Blue Groove restaurant which has friendly efficient staff, was child friendly and has a varied menu. Hide

We had an enjoyable stay at the property, however, it was a little tired in places. Compared to other properties we have stayed at in Croyde, it did not meet our expectations.

A great house for a fab family week playing in the surf. We loved the balcony and the fact that we could walk to the beach. Also having lots of mugs and glasses was great. The beds were comfy and the space worked well for us, I can think that for some families 3 double bedrooms might not work but it was fine for us. Thank you.

This was our second time at Sundowner and we have already booked for next year. The owners are super responsive and made our stay very comfortable.
