Wonderfully comfortable home in perfect location. Garden was lovely and the seating area was a perfect sun trap. The dog had great fun in the very safe and fully enclosed garden. Quick walk to local pubs and restaurants

We stayed here for a week over Christmas and our stay was magical. We arrived with clear instructions and a kind welcome package. The cottage was kitted out with decorations which added a magical festive feel, we are super grateful! The appliances were 10/10 and the nespresso machine was a great addition.

This is a great property. Finished to a high standard. The layout is great which made a very comfortable stay. The garden is well maintained and the hot shower outside was great for washing the sand away. The milk and cake on arrival was a nice gesture. Its just a 5 minute walk down into Croyde Village.

Modern comfortable property with living space upstairs, bedrooms downstairs. Well equipped. Property very close to others, so some noise.

Good location. House could be so much better. This property does not live up to the description or the expectation. If you ask me would I stay here again, the answer isa resounding no.

We had a great time staying at The Shubbery. The house is very spacious with lovely rooms. It contained everything you need for your holiday. The cake and milk were a lovely gesture. The views from the balcony are amazing and such a lovely place to eat or have a glass of wine. The location is great, far enough away from the pubs to not hear theRead more noise but only a 5 minute walk to everything. We are hoping to go back for two weeks next summer. Hide

This holiday cottage deserves it's first review! We five (plus dog) stayed for a week in early July. The property is in a superb location, just a few minutes walk from Croyde village with it's good choice of eateries, a village shop/post office, ice cream parlour etc. Croyde beach is a short walk away, Saunton sands about 5 minutes drive, and WoolaRead morecombe with it's excellent beach a short drive away too. We loved the upside down layout of the property with the spacious living room on the first floor. Kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances and a large dining table. It was lovely to sit in the sun on the comfy furniture on the balcony. The beds were comfy and the showers powerful. The large enclosed garden was perfect for the dog, and there was a further seating area in the garden which seemed to act as a sun trap, lovely! The owners and housekeeper were on hand to sort out any issues. We had a great time at the Shrubbery and would definitely return. Hide

We recently stayed for a weeks holiday in June of this year. The house was immaculate, extremely clean and the dcor was lovely, and there was plenty of room for 5 adults and a dog. The enclosed garden was really well kept and ideal for our dog (medium/ large breed). There was absolutely no way she was finding a way out as it was walled on all sidesRead more, we could relax and let her wander around/ play without having to check where she was every two minutes. The house is ideally located, Croyde is a lovely village and great base to see things from, it;s also a 2 mins walk from the nearest pubs and not too far from the beach which is beautiful. All in all a fantastic holiday and we'll definitely be back! Hide

We had a wonderful stay at The Shrubbery last week. It was clean, spacious and ideal for all four of us plus our dog. He absolutely loved the run of the garden around the house and we knew that he was safe outside and enclosed. We have been coming to Croyde as a family for 15 years and would return to the Shrubbery.
