Gem of a cottage in fantastic location
This is a delightful cottage - we loved it - cosy, beautifully designed and very comfortable. It's in an amazing location, right in the heart of Croyde, but just off the main street and down a small lane, with direct access (10min walk) to the beach. We loved being able to walk everywhere. The lounge is lovely to relax in and the kitchen has all you need. There's also a small, sunny outdoor courtyard with table and chairs. Bobby was a lovely host, super friendly accommodating and quick to respond. A gift of fudge and wine on arrival was much appreciated. We would love to come back one day.

Great stay in Croyde
We stayed for 4 nights in the cottage, and it made a lovely change to our usual caravan. Great location, right near the centre of the village, and just a short walk to the beach. The host left us a lovely welcome gift of Prosecco & cake, as well as having towels and blankets available. We would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous break
We had an amazing stay at Bobby’s house which is in a brilliant location 10 minutes from the beach and right next to great restaurants, ice cream shops and pubs. Myself and 4 teens were really comfortable in the house (beds were great) and had a very chilled few days. The sun came out too which always helps! I really hope we’ll return!

Lovely cottage, perfect location
The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for your stay with lots of lovely little touches, such as books and games which my son loved! The location is perfect, right on the path down to the beach, which is less than a 10 minute walk (if you have young children halfway between the beach and the cottage is Ruda holiday park which has a park/play area. The cottage is minutes away from the pubs and restaurants. The host was very helpful with great communication and made lots of suggestions for rainy day activities. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Nice family holiday
Lovely pleasant week and perfect for what we wanted, the only thing I will say is you cannot take dogs onto the main part of Croyde beach from May to September!! The point of booking the location was because I had a dog! Saunton beach which was a 3 min drive in the car is dog friendly and Woolacombe beach is too

Great location!
We had a great time here, being just a few steps away from all the shops and pubs and a 10-min walk to the beach along the private paths. It’s a very old cozy cottage so lots of quirkiness. Worth noting that one side of the house backs directly on to the Billy Budds beer garden: the glazing was very efficient at reducing the noise and it didn’t bother us at all but you can hear passers by and chatting sometimes, so may not be suitable for those who like peace and quiet. The only time we heard it was during a live acoustic music evening, but we sat outside in the garden to enjoy it in the sun! And the pubs are shut by 10:30-11 so it’s not very late. The host was lovely and helpful and right next door for any assistance.
