About this property
Let the sun pour into this fabulous holiday home on the Devonshire coast, a light and bright space for a memory-making retreat with loved ones. Utterly spacious both inside and out, this holiday home invites an extended group of eight guests to spend time unwinding together. It’s also dog-friendly, accommodating as many as five pets if required. A surfer’s paradise with an outdoor shower and a garage to store boards and wetsuits, the property is within easy reach of Saunton Sands (2 miles), a beach-lovers destination with a surf school.
Having spent days riding the waves, the warm appeal of this holiday home’s lounge/diner will draw you in, complete with a large TV, comfy sofas, and a crackling wood burner. Whip up memorable meals in the well-equipped kitchen, and gather at the dining table to enjoy the chef’s work and plan the next day’s adventure. At night, find a flexible king-size bedroom on the ground floor next to the separate shower room. Upstairs, choose from a double room with an en-suite shower room, another welcoming double, and a cosy twin, completed by the family bathroom. When the sun shines, throw open French doors to enjoy easy access to the garden, an enclosed, lawned space where little ones can play safely. Enjoy al fresco meals on the furnished patio using the charcoal BBQ, or unwind with your holiday read on the hammock.
For games on the sand and sunbathing, Croyde Bay is just half a mile from home. Croyde village itself is in the opposite direction (0.5 miles), complete with welcoming pubs offering refreshments after sunny, sandy days. To experience a livelier spot, jump in the car and visit the nearby town of Ilfracombe (9 miles), a family-friendly destination with a harbour, a museum and the exciting Tunnels Beaches.

Mrs Hugo
A light, spacious and warm house. We had 4 large dogs with us and the garden was large enough and dog-proof. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach which was really handy. We enjoyed our stay so much we had booked a return visit whilst still there on holiday. We've had a really enjoyable holiday.

The house is great base for the village of Croyde and surrounding areas. Perfect for larger groups as there was plenty of space in the living areas and kitchen. All bedrooms provided plenty of space as well. Garden was ideal for the dogs that were in our group as it was completely enclosed and there was plenty of outdoor furniture to enjoy the sunshine.
