Less than half a mile from the centre of Croyde, this cottage is perfect for surfing and beach holidays with family or friends. A 1-mile walk along a country footpath leads you to Croyde Bay, one of the best surfing beaches in the UK. Whether you want to ride the waves, relax on the beach, or do some rock pooling, many happy hours can be spent here. There are several surf schools, many of which also offer paddle boat rentals. You can also explore many more fantastic beaches in the local area, including Saunton Sands (5 miles), Putsborough Sands (1 mile), Woolacombe (4.5 miles), and Barricane Beach (5 miles). Walk along the coast path to Baggy Point, where you can admire Lundy Island and Hartland Point views or embark on the Four Beaches Walk from Croyde to Saunton Sands. Enjoy a trip to peaceful Lundy Island on MS Oldenburg from Ilfracombe (9 miles), where you can spot puffins, seals, and Highland cows. If you’re visiting with kids, head to The BIG Sheep farm and theme park (20 miles).
The cottage has a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with comfortable seating arranged around a Smart TV. The light and airy kitchen is a great spot for preparing family meals, with views over the garden and a large dining table to seat the whole party. Also on the ground floor is a shower room with WC. A pine, open staircase leads to the first floor where the cottage’s three bedrooms are located. There is a super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom, which can be arranged as a twin on request, one single, and another single room with a pull-out single trundle bed, ideal for children. All of the bedrooms feature TVs and heated towel rails. There is also a family shower room with WC. The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout.
Floor-to-ceiling doors lead from the lounge to the garden. Up a set of steps, there is a patio area with an outdoor dining table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining or evening drinks. The vast lawn area has ample space for garden games, and a summerhouse provides storage for surfboards, wetsuits, and walking equipment. The highlight of the garden is the private hot tub, perfectly positioned to make the most of the sunshine.
