Cottage to rent in Croyde, Devon

Accommodation details

Wake up to the sound of waves crashing outside your window in this romantic bolthole on the North Devon coast. After enjoying breakfast overlooking the beach, stroll out of your apartment and onto the golden sand for a day of sunbathing and surfing. The apartment is a fantastic base for walkers, with easy access to the South West Coast Path.

At the end of a busy day, relax on your private balcony overlooking the ocean. Stairs lead to the front door of this first-floor apartment. The accommodation is bathed in natural light and has picture windows framing views across Croyde Bay. The living space is decorated in a contemporary style, with soft furnishings creating a home-away-from-home vibe.

Snuggle together on the sofa to watch a film on the Smart TV, or sit back and take in the stunning scenery. Enjoy a dinner for two by the window, watching surfers catching the last few waves of the day, before retiring to the calm and inviting king-size bedroom. Alongside the private balcony, you'll also have access to the benches on the shared lawn, where you can enjoy an al fresco meal in the sunshine. The apartment is perfectly placed for exploring a whole host of spectacular beaches, each with their own character and charm.

The 3.5-mile beach at Saunton Sands (3 miles) is a real surfing hotspot, and is backed by the majestic Braunton Burrows sand dunes. The view as you head over the hill from Croyde to Saunton is arguably one of the finest in North Devon. Alternatively, head to the stunning secluded cove of Rockham Bay (6.5 miles) for peace and tranquillity.

Slightly off the beaten track, it's the perfect place to switch off from the stresses of everyday life.
