A gorgeous beach chalet set in the heart of one of the UK’s most popular seaside villages, this holiday home which welcomes up to five guests and two canine companions is quite the find. Centrally located within walking distance of beautiful Croyde Beach - with its big stretch of sand and celebrated surfing conditions - and within metres of the village’s array of shops, dog-friendly pubs and cafes, it’s a great choice for a family or couples travelling with their hounds.

Step through the porch and into a bright and airy open plan living and dining area with kitchenette, featuring large windows, lofty ceilings and big, cosy sofas; it’s a great, multi-purpose space for groups and families. Three well-appointed bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements with one king-size, a single room and a twin, the latter of which is available as a super-king if requested. The master bedroom has patio doors leading outside and both this and the twin room have Smart TVs. Three bedrooms share a family bathroom and underfloor heating runs throughout the chalet. Access the private terrace via patio doors in the kitchen, a delightful sun spot for al fresco dining and for the dogs to catch some rays. The outdoor shower is incredibly handy for rinsing off surfboards, children…and sandy paws.

Located less than 0.5 miles from the curved delights of Croyde Bay and its golden stretch of sand, it’s the ideal retreat for those in search of a traditional bucket-and-spade holiday or an active break, as the area is world-renowned for its surf. The village itself is charming, traditional in façade but laid back and with a welcoming atmosphere; grab a coffee on the go to enjoy at the beach or head to one of the fabulous dog-friendly pubs for a relaxing lunch. Keen walkers will enjoy the many trails you can pick up along the South West Coast Path; National Trust owned Baggy Point is well worth the effort and offers spectacular views across to Saunton Sands (4 miles) and Woolacombe (5 miles).

Fab, modern cottage in outstanding location. Loved having our groceries delivered and coming off the beach to relax each night. Outdoor shower isn't great but it was enough to wash sand off our feet. Outdoor space is small but secure and gets some nice sunlight during the day. Beds super comfy and added bonus of left bed area, reached by ladder, whRead moreich our girls loved. Hide

Highly Recommend - Will definitely stay again - Great location to beach and village, both within short walking distance of the house. We're a family of 5 with two teenage surfing mad boys and our 9 year old beach mad daughter, so easy access to the beach and village was vital for us. Property was clean, well maintained, and well appointed. TheRead more high ceilings make the rooms feel spacious and open. Roof widows are an excellent addition if you are lucky enough to get hot weather like we did, and there is also no shortage of fans and TV's with both in just about every room. There is an electric fireplace in the sitting room although we never used this due to the glorious weather we had and sofas are a comfy relief after long days at the beach. Kitchen is well stocked will all the utensils, pots, pans, plates, cutlery, etc that one needs stashed away and available in the cupboards and draws. The breakfast bar and two stools are a nice touch and made the perfect place for me to feed the boys before they disappeared for the day. The outside shower is a massive positive as being able to de-sand and wash down outside before going into the house works really well especially with children and all the surfing and beach kit. All-in-all, a Great property, excellent location and we had a perfect week in Croyde Bay. Hide
