Croyde Bay Holiday Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely fantastic stay at Croyde, the staff and facilities were excellent. There were so many activities available, with no fuss at all, everything was laid out already e.g. mini golf, table tennis, badminton and many more. Despite being August and fully booked, nothing felt too busy; the pool was relatively quiet both times we used it. The only possible fault I could find, is the lack of Air Con in the hotel room, but that was reflected in the price and there was also a fan provided in the room."

Kentisbury Grange

10/10 Excellent
"We originally had a room in the main hotel which was large but we hadn’t spotted that they had lodges too. We upgraded to a lodge with hot tub for my wife’s 50th. Loved it. Well appointed and staff could not do enough for us. Went way above what was required and we are very grateful. Check in is in the coach house which is the restaurant. Now, food! Had breakfast there an evening meal and Sunday lunch. The standard is superb, loved it. The roast was huge and very very well done one of the best roasts I’ve had in a long time. Excellent. Had a prawn starter both nights and that was spot on. Burger was nailed totally. Applause to the team. Breaky was always first class well presented and staff absolutely lovely Thanks for a great weekend"
