This house is wonderful. We had everything we needed for a perfect holiday. The house is situated in a beautiful spot, very close to Croyde beach. The house is a stone's throw away from lots of equally amazing beaches. I hadn't realised how incredible North Devon is until we stayed here - absolutely loved it.
