Amazingly and also luckily the host immediately went to work setting up an alternative glamping pod for us to stay in. The place was immaculate, hosts are extremely friendly and everything about the trip was perfect and as described. We will certainly be returning."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Croyde Bay cost?
Budget hotel prices in Croyde Bay vary, but you can find a great deal from £95 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Croyde Bay is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Croyde Bay, focusing your search on the immediate outskirts of Croyde village or nearby Braunton will yield the most affordable accommodation options. While Croyde itself is charming, lodging directly within the village tends to be pricier due to its popularity.

Staying slightly outside the village, perhaps a short walk or cycle away, allows you to enjoy the area's natural beauty without the premium price tag. Look for guesthouses or smaller B&Bs that might be a little further from the main beach but still offer convenient access. Braunton, just a few miles inland, is a larger village with a wider range of services and often more competitively priced guesthouses and B&Bs. It's well-connected by local bus services to Croyde and other coastal spots, making it a practical base for exploration.

Solo travellers will find that these slightly more removed locations offer a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the coast. Many guesthouses in these areas provide a comfortable base and often include breakfast, adding to the overall value.
When is the most affordable time to visit Croyde Bay?
The most affordable time to visit Croyde Bay is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October), outside of school holidays. During these periods, you'll find lower prices for accommodation and fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed and budget-friendly trip.

For solo travellers, these months offer a peaceful experience, with the chance to enjoy the local scenery and surfing without the peak season bustle. Many guesthouses and self-catering cottages, which are often more economical for longer stays, offer reduced rates. You'll also find that local eateries might have special offers to attract customers during these quieter times.

Families looking for value will also benefit from visiting outside of the summer holidays. Not only are accommodation costs lower, but popular attractions like the nearby beaches and walking trails are less crowded, making for a more enjoyable experience.
Is Croyde Bay a budget-friendly destination?
While Croyde Bay is generally considered more expensive, particularly during peak season, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, consider staying at one of the campsites or holiday parks, which often offer more affordable options than traditional hotels, especially for families. Booking well in advance can also secure better rates. Solo travellers might find good value in guesthouses or B&Bs just outside the immediate village centre.

Families can save on activities by focusing on the natural beauty of the area. The expansive Croyde Beach itself provides endless free entertainment, from building sandcastles to exploring rock pools at low tide. Walking or cycling along the South West Coast Path also offers breathtaking views without costing a penny. For a change of scenery, nearby Braunton Burrows, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is great for a free and adventurous day out.

Dining can be managed affordably by making use of self-catering accommodation. Local shops in Croyde village offer groceries for preparing meals, and packing picnics for beach days is a great way to keep costs down. Many pubs in the area also offer good value lunch menus.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Croyde Bay with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Croyde Bay. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Croyde Bay?
For solo travellers visiting Croyde Bay, the most rewarding free activities revolve around its stunning natural environment and coastal charm. The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering an abundance of experiences without spending a penny.

A top recommendation is exploring the beautiful Croyde Bay beach itself. Whether you're keen on strolling along the shore, watching the surfers, or simply relaxing with a book, the extensive sandy expanse provides a great backdrop. The South West Coast Path, which runs directly through Croyde, offers spectacular clifftop walks with breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Heading towards Baggy Point, a National Trust headland, you can enjoy dramatic scenery and spot local wildlife; it's a relatively easy walk that rewards with panoramic vistas.

Another excellent free activity is simply soaking in the village atmosphere. Croyde village boasts quaint thatched cottages and a relaxed vibe. Browsing the local independent shops provides a pleasant diversion, and you can always find a quiet spot to sit and observe the local life.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Croyde Bay as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Croyde Bay for you.
