Guests say
Dunes At West Croyde is a spacious and well-situated cottage in Croyde, Devon, praised for its ideal location close to the beach and its suitability for families, dogs, and large groups. The enclosed garden is a highlight, though some maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns have been noted. The property offers a comfortable stay with ample outdoor space and is within walking distance to local amenities.
The property generally appears to be clean, but several reviews mention issues with cleanliness standards, such as a sticky kitchen table and a fridge that leaked water. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, the village, and local attractions, making it an excellent base for exploring North Devon. The secure garden and parking are also appreciated.
Guests find the house comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped, suitable for multi-generation families, with plenty of room for 6 to 8 people. However, some guests noted the property is not suitable for disabled visitors due to steps.
While the property is well-equipped and spacious, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as broken conservatory doors, windows that don't close, and a DVD player that's not working. These issues detract from the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
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.

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.

House is in a great location, with a reasonable walk to both the beach and the village centre. Own parking is a significant benefit. Our stay was towards the end of season, so there were a few minor maintenance issues.
