We had the most wonderful stay here and cannot recommend it highly enough. Finding top-quality accommodation that genuinely welcomes 3 dogs is a massive challenge, but this place made it effortless. The location is superb and incredibly central. We were just a short walk away from all the local amenities, which included 3 pubs/bars all serving foodRead more, plus a lovely ice cream parlour that served cooked-to-order doughnuts, making exploring so convenient. Inside, the property was clean, comfortable, and beautifully well-equipped with top-quality appliances and 3 large comfortable settees. It truly had everything we needed for a stress-free self-catering holiday. Croyde is a chocolate box English village and very well located for the surrounding seaside resorts of Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, and just 5 minutes drive up the road for Saunton Sands beach, which is 100% dog friendly, allowing your pooches to run for miles. This was a wonderful find and we had a wonderful week. Thank you Hide

Another perfect stay at a great house. Great location , few minutes from the pub and beach. We always come in winter to avoid the crowds so get the luxury of a large house without the summer costs . The dog loves it too as so close to his favourite beach !!

Lovely spacious accommodation, very dog friendly and convenient for local pubs. Just a shame that Croyde Beach doesnt allow dogs anywhere on the beach at certain times of the year but nearby Saunton Sands dogs allowed all year round.
