Property code: OC-HILLSI

This spacious five-bedroom property is located just outside the seaside village of Croyde in North Devon. With easy access to the beach and amenities, it’s the perfect holiday home for a large family, or group of friends plus one hound.

A sense of style sweeps through the interior with soft furnishings and splashes of colour creating a cheerful atmosphere. On the ground floor, there’s a handy wet room so sandy toes and paws can be washed clean before padding into the open-plan living area. With plenty of room for everyone to enjoy, you can relax on the plump sofas or cosy chairs while your canine companion stretches out on the floor. A wood burner keeps things toasty on chilly nights but when the weather is good, push open the double doors and let your pup roam outside. From here, an archway leads through to the chic kitchen where you can rustle up a meal and then serve it at the sociable dining table. A second, separate lounge is perfect for catching up on quiet holiday reading. When it’s time to retire, there’s a ground floor super-king-size bed, and four more lovely bedrooms on the first floor featuring a mix of king-size, super-king-size, and single beds. All the rooms are light, airy, and beautifully presented. In the morning, a tiered patio awaits where you can enjoy coffee and croissants while your pup stretches his legs on the large, enclosed lawn.

From the property, it’s less than a mile to Croyde village with its dog-friendly pubs and restaurants while Croyde Beach (1 mile) is good for morning walks on a lead (seasonal restrictions apply). Alternatively, pull on hiking boots and let your hound scamper along the South West Coast Path to Baggy Point (3 miles). There are more beaches to sniff out at Woolacombe (4.5 miles) and Saunton Sands (4 miles), and at both beaches you can let your pup can run to his heart’s content.

Hillside was perfect for our annual girls' weekend. Beautifully appointed rooms, masses of space, gorgeous dcor, super comfy beds, great showers, good sized towels, well equipped kitchen, great outdoor space, good sized parking space, efficient under-floor heating. About 0.7 mile into the village, and maybe a mile to the beach...easy walking for ouRead morer party. A few of us walked down for an early swim each morning, and the hot showers were most welcome on our return. Even in mid October, we found plenty of choice for eating & drinking in the town. An absolutely lovely house; perfect for our needs. Hide

This is a super house for a family celebration. Extremely well equipped and comfortable in all areas of the house, sofas, beds and pillows were all good quality as was all the kitchen equipment. We had a delightful stay.

Hillside is a lovely property. The owners have seamlessly blended the old and new to create a spacious environment for 8-10 persons, ideal for family gatherings such as our own visit. It is where 'old country vicarage' meets 'designer kitchen'. The bathrooms are all modern, with the wet room very handy for surfers, walkers etc. The living and diRead morening space is well appointed with a large dining table and chairs, with the living room space containing a mixture of sofas and easy chairs. Ours was a winter stay and therefore we did not take advantage of the outdoor spaces but there is adequate patio space for all of your guests with outdoor furniture and BBQ space. NB. as the name implies, the rear of the property is terraced as it is on the side of a hill. The pictures in the advert for this property are very accurate. I would make people aware of the following. Access to the main entrance to the property is via 10 steps, you would still need to climb five steps if you were to take the long route around to the back door. Therefore, this might not be suitable for persons with different abilities. However, if this is not too challenging, then the good news is that one of the double bedrooms is on the ground floor, as is the wet room shower complete with wash hand basin and WC. If visiting in Winter, then the dual air source heat pumps keep the property lovely and warm with a mixture of radiators and underfloor heating. Each room has its own temperature control. We didn't touch these as they we set just right. Plenty of cooking equipment and more than ample numbers of crockery, glasses and silverware, so some can be in the dishwasher and there is still plenty more to use. Not all visitors might be like us, country dwellers. The short walk to the village is along a narrow road, some of this has no street lighting. Would recommend you bring a good torch, spare batteries and also at least one person in your group to wear a Hi-Viz vest. It really does help drivers see you. Can thoroughly recommend the Manor Inn for pub classics and Sunday Carvery or just for drinks and the big football matches if that's your thing. For something a little bit special, try the New Coast Kitchen. Brunch in the mornings and fine dining in the evening. Superb. Hillside was everything we were looking for to accommodate grandparents, parents and teenagers. Hide

Fantastic all round. We as a family felt it was perfect. We did a bit of walking and also visited places around us. The weather was great so spent time on the beach everyday. Thank you
