It's in an amazing location, right in the heart of Croyde, but just off the main street and down a small lane, with direct access (10min walk) to the beach. We loved being able to walk everywhere. The lounge is lovely to relax in and the kitchen has all you need. There's also a small, sunny outdoor courtyard with table and chairs. Bobby was a lovely host, super friendly accommodating and quick to respond. A gift of fudge and wine on arrival was much appreciated. We would love to come back one day. ##### Sarah M.

The location is perfect, right on the path down to the beach, which is less than a 10 minute walk (if you have young children halfway between the beach and the cottage is Ruda holiday park which has a park/play area. The cottage is minutes away from the pubs and restaurants. The host was very helpful with great communication and made lots of suggestions for rainy day activities.

The point of booking the location was because I had a dog! Saunton beach which was a 3 min drive in the car is dog friendly and Woolacombe beach is too ##### Julie B.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca E. 5 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! We had a great time here, being just a few steps away from all the shops and pubs and a 10-min walk to the beach along the private paths. It’s a very old cozy cottage so lots of quirkiness. Worth noting that one side of the house backs directly on to the Billy Budds beer garden: the glazing was very efficient at reducing the noise and it didn’t bother us at all but you can hear passers by and chatting sometimes, so may not be suitable for those who like peace and quiet. The only time we heard it was during a live acoustic music evening, but we sat outside in the garden to enjoy it in the sun! And the pubs are shut by 10:30-11 so it’s not very late. The host was lovely and helpful and right next door for any assistance. ##### Rebecca E.
