Sunny Sands
Just wow. This incredibly stylish, modern, seaside home sleeping nine oh-so-lucky people, is just a few minutes' stroll from the sea and boasts gorgeous living spaces, a hot tub and an epic garden - and it's dog-friendly too!
Set in the beautiful seaside town of Croyde on the north Devonshire coastline, Sunny Sands is the perfect dog-friendly holiday home that's just a few minutes' walk to the beach. Ideal for multi-generational family get-togethers, there's plenty of space inside for everyone to spread out, while the principal bedroom boasts its own private balcony. Outside, there's a gorgeous garden complete with inviting hot tub, summer-house and enclosed lawn for little ones and dogs to play till their hearts' content.
On entry into Sunny Sands, you'll find the roomy sitting-room on your left with plush sofas, an armchair, a huge Smart TV and a lovely wood-burner for cooler nights - perfect for curling up in front of after a blustery coastal walk! There's also an additional reading nook with an armchair next to the stairs, plus another on the landing on the first floor.
Next up is the elegant kitchen/dining-room where you'll find crisp white worktops, a four-oven range cooker with gas hob, large American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler and Nespresso coffee machine, plus all the other kitchen paraphernalia needed to cook up a storm. Next to the kitchen is a large dining-table which seats up to ten with bi-fold doors leading out on to the deck. In addition, there's a useful utility in the garage (which can be accessed from inside property) that has an extra fridge, washing machine, tumble-drier, sink and storage for bikes and beach equipment.
There are five bedrooms at Sunny Sands, with three on the first floor and two on the ground floor. The first ground floor room is a king-sized room with built-in wardrobes, a Smart TV and access to the family shower-room opposite. The second bedroom is also king-sized with an en suite bathroom with shower overhead and French doors that lead out onto the deck area by the hot tub. Upstairs, the principal bedroom boasts a super-king sized bed, large Smart TV, lots of built-in storage space, a desk/study area and an en suite shower-room. It also has an incredible balcony, accessed through bi-fold doors, with rattan sofa set made for leisurely mornings and spectacular views across Croyde village and over the dunes. The fourth bedroom has twin beds with Velux windows and some restricted headroom so perfect for little ones, and the fifth is a single.
The jewel of Sunny Sands' crown has to be the garden! With a bubbling hot tub on the decked terrace plus an outside corner sofa and table with chairs for al fresco meals in the sunshine, it's a fantastic space for socialising. In addition, there's a fab purpose-built charcoal Bushpeck barbecue for the keen outdoor cook. If that wasn't enough, there's a summer-house with sofa and Smart TV, and a good-sized lawned area. All of this is enclosed, so dogs and children can play happily, and there's also a wet-room for washing off sandy toes. Outside you'll also find a wetsuit washing area with hose and hanging rail. To the front of the property is a driveway with space for up to four vehicles.

Mrs Gill
This is a lovely holiday home in a great location. We will definitely come back.
Mrs Banford
Our week was nice, despite the wind and rain all week, the dogs enjoyed the beaches, the location is brilliant, easy to get places, the village has good pubs and shops, the property just needs a bit of tlc and upgrading for the price people are paying, no cleaning products available and the table was so sticky, antibacterial wipes didn't do it! The floors also a bit sticky, not ideal with a 10 month old, we hoovered alot because of our dogs. The wet room was brilliant for the dogs and sandy wellies. We paid extra for the dogs so a bit disappointed that the garden was overgrown and the lawn not cut until Tuesday. We did enjoy our stay but wouldn't return.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location
Sykes
The property in our opinion did not live up to our expectations and was not worth the money we paid compared to other properties we have stayed in. There were issues with cleanliness in some areas and maintenance issues that should have been attended to before letting out (such as the floor in the downstairs bathroom being all cracked creating a trip hazard). The beds and sofas were extremely comfortable and the rang cooker was excellent. The downstairs wet room was excellent for washing down after visiting the beach. The lawn had bare patches and looked unsightly. The hot tub was set too hot at 42 and we could not get it to cool down other than opening up for at least an hour or too before we wanted to use it. The key safe was also very weathered and extremely difficult to open. We wouldn’t visit here again

I can highly recommend Sunny Sands in Croyde. It is in a fantastic location for the beach, the village of Croyde, which has an excellent well stocked Post Office/General Store and for those who enjoy walking.
The property is extremely comfortable and well laid out.
