This characterful cottage is ideal for a large extended family or group of friends to enjoy a relaxing break by the seaside. The tranquil village of Croyde is set on the stunning 'Golden Coast' of North Devon. Just a few hundred metres from the front door guests can join the Billy Bud’s paved pathway that leads to the beach just over half a mile away. It's about the same distance by road also. Croyde's lovely horseshoe-shaped stretch of sand is popular with rock pooling enthusiasts as well as beginner and intermediate surfers. The waves here are generally gentle and there are lifeguards on duty throughout the summer season. Up on the surrounding cliffs, walkers can enjoy rugged walking along the North Devon Coastal Path and explore Baggy Point managed by the National Trust. Back in the village guests can access the town on foot from the garden and it is a mere 100 metres to the high street with its great range of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Heading east you'll come to the pristine 3 –mile long Woolacombe Beach with the village located at the far end 5 miles from Croyde. Saunton Beach lies in the other direction 2.5 miles away with the designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Braunton Burrows stretching out behind it.
