  • Ample thatched holiday home by the seaside
  • Large enclosed south-facing lawn
  • Spacious kitchen and dining area for big family feasts

Overview
Property code: OC-FIRCON

This detached holiday home is ideal for a large group or extended family to enjoy a sociable holiday at the seaside. The village of Croyde is a laidback and friendly place with a beautiful sandy beach as its crowning glory. This golden horseshoe-shaped bay will likely be where you'll spend much of your time. With its shallow rockpools and gently rolling waves, it's a very family-friendly beach. Beginner and intermediate surfers can take a lesson or play amongst the waves and there are lifeguards on hand throughout the summer season. The village itself has a nice range of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, all within 500 metres of the property, while the beach is less than a mile away. For dramatic cliff walks head to the National Trust-managed Baggy Point and gaze out at the fine stretch of 'Golden Coast' sands that is Woolacombe Beach. The village of Woolacombe lies at the far end of the beach and is 5 miles from Croyde. Head 3.5 miles in the other direction and you'll reach Saunton Beach backed by the famous Broughton Burrows dunes. Then a couple of miles inland the village of Broughton is perfect for a pleasant afternoon wander with a cream tea pit stop along the way.

The house is spacious, and ideal for a big crew to relax and socialise together. The living room has plenty of cosy sofas and a feature fireplace. The sizable kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking up a family feast and dining together. There is also a seating area and TV to one end where little ones can play or snuggle up for some entertainment. There's a handy downstairs WC too. Upstairs you'll find ample bedrooms including a king-size, a double and two bunk bed rooms. One of these is a traditional bunk bed and the other is a combination, with a double bed on the bottom and a single up top. These four bedrooms share two bathrooms, one en-suite shower room for two of the rooms and one bathroom with a shower over the bath. A narrow flight of stairs leads up to the attic where there is a double bedroom and a corner shower room with a sloping ceiling.

Outside there is an expansive fully enclosed south-facing lawn to the front of the house. This is ideal for games, picnicking or simply lounging in the sunshine.

Just outside the house you’ll find a deck with seating that’s ideal for enjoying morning coffee or afternoon drinks. The useful outhouse incorporates a utility area and wet room for rinsing off sandy beachgoers.

Some of the pots and glasses were dirty and had to be washed. There were big cobwebs on the walls in the main bedroom, in the wardrobe where we are expected to keep our clothes, and more thick ones in the en-suite, complete with a few spiders. In the kitchen we dropped something on the floor and it rolled under a small sideboard, when we pulled Read morethe sideboard out, it was THICK with dust and dirt with a black banana under there as well. The kitchen table was sticky and we washed and cleaned it several times. There are steps outside the porch leading to the front door, one of the paving stones was broken and loose and is a danger, it wobbles when you stand on it and we had to put it back in place several times. There is ivy growing through the walls into the porch. There is a honeysuckle plant outside the dining room window which is too high and spoils the view, it could do with a good trim. Also while we were there, the toilet flush broke in the bathroom on the top floor, we rang the housekeeper who said it had broken 2 weeks previously and had been repaired, she would call us back but never did. We managed with the toilet, it was just very slow to refill. We had the same property last year with the same issues, apart from the toilet and banana, gave it the benefit of the doubt but it was just the same. No work has been undertaken and it is in need of a thorough cleaning. Overall this is a lovely property in a really good location but it does need some TLC. Hide

Twice a year our group of old school friends meet up somewhere on the coast and Fircones was the perfect base for our visit to Croyde. Lots of parking (we had 5 cars) and less than 5 mins walk into Croyde. Loads of room and a great communal spaces; kitchen m, dining room, sitting room etc. Really lovely property and completely hassle free through MRead morearsdens as well. Thank you. Hide

We had a wonderful stay at Fircones. The location was excellent, only a 15 minute walk to the lovely Croyde Bay and a couple of minute walk to pubs! The house itself was very spacious and comfortable providing everything needed including lots of fun board games which was a great touch.
