Pack your bags and head to the laid-back surfing village of Croyde, where you’ll stay in a charming cottage with characterful original features – like a beamed ceiling, stone flooring and dark wooden doors. Benefit from nearby seafood restaurants, cafes, beaches and nature walks surrounding you in this slice of Devonshire heaven.
Step inside to find a homely open-plan living area. Traditional decor sweeps throughout the room, creating a comfortable and cosy feel. The lounge space has two comfortable sofas in front of a TV and an electric wood effect fire. Continue into the kitchen, where there’s a charming dining table and chairs, and a country-style fitted unit. Climb the stairs to reach the pretty family bathroom, a double bedroom with an en-suite, and a twin room. Outside, there’s an intimate sheltered patio with garden furniture.
During your stay in the heart of Croyde, you’ll have a pub, surf shop, bistro and cinema right on your doorstep (within 0.5 miles). Wander 1 mile down to Croyde Beach for a dip, which is backed by dunes and has plenty of rock pools to discover. From here you can head in either direction along the coast path for a scenic walk with tranquil views of the ocean. If you head north by foot, you’ll reach the headland of Baggy Point (3 miles). Continue along the headland to reach three more sandy beaches, starting with scenic Putsborough (1.5 miles). To the south is Saunton Sands (2 miles), the River Tay (6 miles) which is surrounded by nature reserves, and across the water is Westward Ho! (20 miles).
