This was our first experience of a holiday cottage rental in 25 years. The kitchen had everything you could need and was nicely appointed. The property was really convenient for the beach and village. Good location for walking in the surrounding countyside.

My family and I (+1 dog) had a wonderful holiday in Croyde. The propertys location is fantastic. A short walk to Croyde Beach (dog restrictions apply), also a short walk into Croyde village to enjoy the local amenities. Saunton Beach is only a 5 minute drive from the cottage, a fantastic beach and very dog friendly. Likewise Woolacombe Beach is vRead moreery dog friendly too, a 15 minute drive. All the beaches are very beautiful. The cottage was great for our family , 2 adults, 2 children (11 and 13), it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was just the right size. I would certainly recommend the cottage as a holiday stay and the area is utterly beautiful and made for a very memorable family holiday. Thank you. Hide

Fantastic location. Great place to stay with dogs. Shame there wasn't an enclosed garden but our dogs were happy to chill indoors after long walks. Everything we needed was there.

We had a problem with the shower unit which wasn't ideal after the beach etc. It was repaired on the Monday but the problem reappeared by Wednesday and the unit was removed on Wednesday but NOT replaced until Friday afternoon!

A lovely, clean and cosy cottage. The furnishings were very comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Its proximity to the village and the beach was perfect, with great access to good walking footpaths to either. Great walks all across the area and whilst the dog was not allowed on Croyde beach (Summer months), SaRead moreunton, Puttsborough, Woolacombe and Instow beaches were well within very easy reach and gave us and the dog hours of enjoyment. Favourite places to eat were the various pop up food vans in the area - the Beach Cafe does an amazing breakfast and Sri Lankan curry and is just a 5-10 min walk (turn right out of the property) also Cluck and Biffens kitchen over near Oceans Pitch campsite. The garden is pretty non existent (a mound of grass ) and not dog friendly i.e not enclosed. Hide
