A spacious property the whole pack is sure to go barking mad for; set within a popular coastal town with large balcony and far-reaching views of the sea and surrounding countryside. A delightful home-from-home for up to eight guests and two canine companions, from here you can easily embark on many outdoor adventures together, from surfing and coasteering, to long walks along the South West Coast Path before seeking out a cosy nook in one of the many dog-friendly pubs.

Making the most of the spectacular views, the house has been arranged with the main living areas on the first floor. Head upstairs to the large living/dining room which has French doors leading out to the balcony, showcasing the awesome coastal scenery, the perfect backdrop for dining alfresco. Let sleeping dogs lie in front of the wood burner while you cook up a storm in the kitchen. A king-size bedroom with en-suite is also on this floor. Downstairs there are a further three bedrooms, two doubles and a bunk room, all with shared access to the family bathroom. The garage houses a table tennis table and offers plenty of space to store surf boards and bikes. And outside there is an enclosed rear lawn with picnic table.

The property is set in a quiet cul-de-sac location in the coastal village of Croyde and just a few hundred metres from the village’s shops, pubs and cafes, many of which welcome dogs. Just 400 metres away lies Croyde Beach and its beautiful, curved bay. Croyde and its sister beach Saunton (2.5 miles) are not only famed for being family and dog friendly, but offer world famous surfing conditions, often hosting world renowned competitions. Enjoy walkies along the cliff top trails of the dramatic North Devon Coast Path; nearby Baggy Point is a highlight.

A lovely, large, comfortable, well equipped property in a great location. We were a family of 4 with a dog, and the property more than met our needs. The addition of the table tennis table was great. The balcony was lovely, and having the log fire, which we were able to use was great. There is parking, but fitting more than 2 cars would be veryRead more tight. I would happily recommend the property. The reverse living takes advantage of the lovely views - but it is worth noting that access to the garden is downstairs, through the porch, cloakroom and garage - so trickier for young children or old dogs.

Have stayed at this property so many times it is a lovely place to stay had a few issues which i have spoken to to the owner about as holiday cottages werent interested in. As normal we had problems with parking with a house this size there is apparently parking for three cars but as we found before people that work in the village park in the cul-dRead moree-sac as they don't want pay for parking this made problems for us getting in and out with our cars this needs to be addressed.

Spent a lovely week here in early June with 5 adults, a two year old and a baby. The house is well positioned - a very short walk to pubs, restaurants, etc in the village and a reasonable walk to the attractive beach. The house is attractively decorated in a modern style and was spotlessly clean and well equipped, with good quality bed linen, coRead moremfortable beds, and plenty of seating. We are keen cooks and the kitchen was very well equipped . The fact that there are two separate WCs in addition to the two bathrooms was an added bonus.The balcony and the garden were very pleasant. Altogether we very very happy, the only downsides being slow WiFi. We would recommend this as a comfortable and convenient place to stay. Hide

Ok property needs updating regards bathrooms no baths washrooms instead, bigger toaster ,small frying pan needed, bigger gate at garden with a lock code on it so people cant come in as we had issues while we were there, fire door into garage does not meet fire regulations. Next door neighbour should put his bins on his driveway not ours, and againRead more all the cars parked in the location made it very hard for us to manoeuvre to our parking space they were not residents just looking to park somewhere not good enough organise a parking for residents only or you will be clamped, its easy.

A fantastic house only a minute or two from the village and about 10 minutes' walk from the beach. We loved staying here, it had everything we needed for a family of four adults and two young children, including a well kitted out kitchen and a brilliant space for living room/dining room, with a balcony and garden for the sunny days. Everything was Read moreclean and there was no need to contact the caretaker while we were there. Thanks for a lovely stay! Hide

A great house for a fab family week playing in the surf. We loved the balcony and the fact that we could walk to the beach. Also having lots of mugs and glasses was great. The beds were comfy and the space worked well for us, I can think that for some families 3 double bedrooms might not work but it was fine for us. Thank you.
