  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 dining 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.

  Lovely cottage but don’t be fooled by the images it is very small and oversized furniture adds to this. Upstairs is very cramped but has comfortable furniture and lovely bedding. The bathroom needs to be refitted its dated and mouldy in places. Kitchen is well stocked and outhouse has drying area which is useful. The location is perfect and nice to have access to body boards and chairs if you haven’t brought them along. The biggest nightmare is the parking, you have to drive on onto shared parking area as it’s a one way narrow street and no where to turn. It’s a shared drive anyway and the property to the right or the drive insist you don’t park too close due to access to their property which is ridiculous given how tight it is. We ended up paying for parking in the car park as it was a nightmare and took 15 mins to be able to reverse off. Overall maybe if a couple, small car it’s lovely but not recommended for family.

  We loved the way the barn had been converted and we were very impressed with the design and finish of the interior. A beautiful property throughout. The road into the town a little busy and narrow in places so would recommend future visitors wear something visible when walking. Some noise from passing cars could be heard inside the barn, but not unbearable. The foodie gifts were a nice touch- a pint of milk would be useful. .Also a mention that the coffee machine uses Nespresso pods in your kitchen inventory on the website, and a description of the length and available width of the driveway would help. FYI the toilet seat very difficult to use safely and comfortably as it’s not designed to fit on that particular WC. These are all small points we would like to bring to your attention. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barn and would certainly choose to stay there again. Thank you

  Beautifully furnished, modern property, very clean, spacious and airy for a one bed, much bigger than many two bed properties we have stayed in.. Lovely big bedroom with a huge comfy bed. The kitchen is spacious, sufficiently stocked with good size fridge/freezer. The property is "end" onto the road with a short walk into Croyde Village (10 mins) or Georgeham (10/15mins uphill), however there are no pavements into croyde so caution needed. If you have a dog, its worth noting the back garden is open and part shared with the house next door so its hard to stop them wandering. There are also open metal steps leading down from the patio area to the driveway and the road. Our dog did not like the metal steps so avoided them anyway but it could be a little issue for a more adventurous dog. That said we loved the property and would highly recommend.

  Excellent location right in the heart of the village but with its own parking! Literally 30 second walk to shop and 2 mins to the pub, both of which served excellent food! Lovely and warm throughout - no need to light the log burner! Kitchen is small but had everything we needed. Beds super comfortable! Hot tub was a fabulous bonus. 10 mins walk to a great beach although not dog friendly in the summer but we went in March so perfect! If i had to stay one thing was missing - it would be a outside tap to wash the dog, but we had a mud daddy with us so again all good. Lovely stay and would highly recommend!
