What our customers say about their holidays

  We stayed as a family of 4 in July and found this to be a great base for visiting all of the local areas. When we came home each evening it was easy to use the local pubs, restaurants and takeaways for food without having to drive as there were plenty to choose from on the doorstep and also having the well-stocked Co-op just round the corner was perfect for getting what we needed to self-cater. The cottage is small but spacious as its open plan. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with cleaning products to get started with, plus a cordless hoover to use as needed. The quality of the crockery and glasses were much nicer and they were clean and plentiful, the same for bedding and towels which were fluffy and comfortable. The little shed outside had some body boards and beach equipment in that we borrowed and then put back for the next guests which was a lovely touch and saved us having to buy these as we hadn't brought our own. The parking is off-road, but there is only enough length for one car - however we have a large Audi estate and it was perfect for us, the car was secure and well back from the pavement. Our only query would be that there was no information left regarding the bin collection days and this would have been helpful as the bin was quite full already on our arrival and we would liked to have put this out for collection so it could be fully emptied. But overall we would have no hesitation in recommending this property, we had a fabulous holiday and look forward to returning again!

  A very warm, clean, comfortable and welcoming property that is well appointed with modern appliances. We especially appreciated the enormous television, wood burner and EV charge point. There is off road parking but the entrance is narrow and anyone with a large SUV would find manoeuvring challenging. We feel that this property is best avoided by the elderly and those with mobility issues as the stairs are steep and slippery and the bath is deep and not fitted with a grab handle. Despite these comments, we had a lovely holiday in this charming property and thoroughly recommend it. The "Aggi" pub two minutes away is extremely friendly and provides a decent menu at fair prices. Unfortunately because of the weather we were unable to use the attractive outside sitting area, but this property provides an excellent base for exploring north Devon.

  The property is lovely and clean. The lounge area has super comfortable sofas and is a lovely place to sit in the evenings. However, it can get warm up there! The kitchen has everything you need and the beds were comfortable. It’s in a good location for Saunton Sands, Braunton Burrows and the village of Braunton itself although none are easily walkable. The garden is enclosed and suitable for dogs although, when we went, it needed a tidy up and some general tlc. I’m sure that’s not normally the case. The neighbour isn’t a fan of dogs and isn’t afraid to tell you so. If you have very barky dogs, this is potentially a problem. Overall, we had a great time at Pixie Croft.

  We had a wonderful week at Pixie Croft. It was perfect for our needs - a family of 5 with three teenagers and a small dog. It was very clean, nicely furnished and extremely well equipped. We ate in most nights and felt very at home cooking in the kitchen. The upstairs lounge is spacious with very comfy sofas - a really relaxing place to chill after a day out. Braunton is a great spot, close to the beautiful Saunton Sands which is dog friendly and with a range of shops, cafes and pubs. Our kids did lots of water sports - coasteering at Croyde and stand up paddleboard at Fremington Quay as well as surfing at Saunton. All in very easy reach.

  Very comfortable cottage but in a very noisy and busy area. We live in a village so it was quite a shock that Braunton is considered a village! There is constant noise from the busy road the cottage is on made even worse by the loose manhole cover that clangs every time a car goes over. Nice touch that bowls, dog blankets and treats provided for dogs. The garden is very small and was worried that our boys would jump the fence to chase the neighbours cat! Thankfully they didn't but people with larger dogs would find that the garden is unlikely to be secure for them.
