Beautiful, family friendly Croyde beach

The West Country / Devon region

The award winning beaches of Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton and Woolacombe are all within easy reach. Croyde beach is within 5 minutes walk of Sea Dunes.

On the north coast are the very picturesque villages of Lynton and Lynmouth. In Lynmouth there is a harbour and cliff railway, salmon and trout fishing and a great choice of shops and restaurants.

The tiny, secluded fishing village of Clovelly is easy to find, with its wonderful old cobbled, traffic free streets that descend 400 feet to the harbour, protected by an ancient stone breakwater. It is a tranquil and picturesque haven of small cottages and tiny winding lanes that promise to reveal even more hidden treasures.

Breathtaking coastal scenery and fantastic walks can be found at Hartland Quay. It is great for families with rock pools to explore, swimming in the sea or simply to lie on the sand and enjoy the sunshine.

The famous village of Woolacombe with its three mile long beach of golden sand which has won numerous awards for cleanliness, water quality and facilities, is only a short drive away.

A short distance to the north is Ilfracombe, which contrasts its Victorian fishing village origins with its modern galleries and top class restaurants. It also boasts a vibrant nightlife from theatres to pubs and clubs. Boats from the harbour take visitors over to the magical Lundy Island.

For fun and all weather family entertainment this area is fantastic.

The Milky Way Adventure Park is located on the A39 near Clovelly. It boasts all weather entertainment, Devon's biggest Roller Coaster and fantastic live shows.

The Big Sheep is also on the A39 Atlantic Highway, near Bideford. This attraction has something for everyone - rides, shows, bottle feeding lambs, an indoor play zone and an outdoor combat zone. There are dog trials, duck trials and sheep shearing. There are even sheep races complete with jockeys - such as Woolie Carson. If it all becomes too much, you could always retire to the on site brewery !!

The Wildlife and Dinosaur Park at Combe Martin is also a favourite with children. It features dinosaur and sea lion shows as well as bird displays. There is the Earthquake Canyon ride, Tomb of the Pharoahs and an Into the Light show. Animals include many species from lions and wolves to meerkats and Lemurs - some of which are available for close encounters !!

Barnstaple has a variety of activities including theatres, a four screen cinema, a ten pin bowling alley and squash, badminton and bowls at the North Devon Leisure Centre.

You can also enjoy the thrills and excitement of kart racing at the North Devon Karting Centre on the outskirts of Barnstaple.

A selection of leaflets for attractions in the area will be left in the bungalow for you to plan your trips at your leisure.

The Croyde / Braunton area

Croyde in North Devon is a 'chocolate box' village of delightful white washed, thatched cottages, situated by a beautiful sandy bay, which is renouned throughout the UK for the quality of its surfing.

The wide, sheltered bay, with its golden sandy beach offers both excellent surfing and safe family bathing. The beach is very well kept and is patrolled by lifeguards between the months of May and September, when many families return year after year because of the facilities available.

The headland of Baggy Point provides great walking and stunning scenery. Cycling, horse riding, golf and tennis are all available locally, as are pubs, cafes and restaurants catering for everything from indulgent Devon cream teas to three course dinners.

You can get excellent food and drink in Croyde at The Thatch, The Manor or Billy Budds. The latter two have children's play areas. For more sophisticated dining, either the Kittywell and Whiteleaf would be a great choice.

In nearby Georgeham either The Rock or The Kings Arms are both popular with families for places to eat.

There is a takeaway on the Ruda Holiday Park site and also Bay View Farm in the village serves Fish & Chips or you could venture into Braunton which has a variety of Indian, Chinese and English takeaways and restaurants.

There are two indoor swimming pools. The Cascades pool is on the Ruda Holiday Park and is a fun pool with slides and an area for younger children. The other pool is an Olympic size pool for more traditional swimming, at Barnstaple Leisure Centre.

Golf is very popular locally. There are two 18 hole links courses at Saunton, which is only a couple of miles away, with further courses at Ilfracombe, Westward Ho and Portmore, which is just outside Barnstaple.

A short walk from Sea Dunes, there is a Tennis court at 'Upover' which is open to the public. Other courts are available at the Tennis Centre in Barnstaple.

For those who enjoy horse riding, 'Roylands Riding Stables' are only two minutes walk down the road.

“The perfect place for a long surf weekend with friends.” The house was in one word perfect. It was extremely well located (10 min walk with board to the waters edge at Croyde) and 5min walk to the pub. Large external surf specific storage outhouse for all wetsuits and boards. Lovely outoor space to sit in the sun. And inside was hugely spacious, yet very felt cosy. As the weather was fairly bitter, we were happy to laze on the couches watching films whilst sipping wine. Every night we accomodated 3 extras friends for dinner so there would be big family dinner for 11 around a lovely wooden table. The kitchen, aptly stocked with all cooking utensils to fire out all sorts of wonderful cuisine. Beds, and bathroom were comfortable and all you needed. It's just a shame we couldn't stay longer, and look forward to coming back when the sun is really out! Awesome. Response: Great to hear that you had such a good time at Sea Dunes. Many thanks for your review. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

“What a great bungalow, in a fantastic location.” As the title says this is a really great spacious bungalow, in a ideal location for the beach or the town, both in easy walking distance. The property is very clean and well presented with everything inside you could possibly need for a home from home. Response: Many thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.

“Well appointed, modern accomodation located conveniently for village facilities, beach and regional attractions.” The booking process was straightforward and efficient. The property was clean and well equiped and as descibed on the web site. The Tesco store in Braunton is convenient for more major shopping and supplements the local village shops. Pubs in Croyde and Georgeham are all good and cover the range from gastro-pub to family eating. If there are kids in the party the Big Sheep and Watermouth Castle are recommended. If exercise is needed, walk round Baggy Point to Woolacombe and back - terrific scenery. Response: Many thanks for you kind review. we hope to see you again in the future.

“Great overall” We love this house! Great space for a couple of families, the layout is really superb. Couldn't ask for a better location, the beach a walk away in one direction, the centre of the village with shops and places to eat and drink a short walk in the other direction. Fantastic! Response: We look forward to welcoming you back in the again soon.

“Best bit of the north Devon coast” Great accomodation very flexible well appointed - could do with a tumble dryer. Avoid peak times through Braunton and Barnstaple they are real bottlenecks. Use your road atlas to avoid them its not difficult. Squires fish ans chips in Braunton is an absolute must. The local holiday park swimming in cascades is brill for young kids. Plenty of good pubs and food - pastied out and cream tea'd out. Great for surfers, riding walking etc or just rest on the veranda and watch the sunsets. Response: We are constantly reviewing the facilities available to guests, in order to provide the best accommodation possible and will certainly look at providing a tumble dryer. We look forward to seeing you again.

“A birthday I will never forget!!” Sea Dunes is an ideal property for family and friends. It is only a short walk from the beach and the village which suited my group of surfers down to the ground. The standard of the property is first class with good size bedrooms and a really nice open plan kitchen and massive lounge. We were a bit worried about 10 people being in the property but there was more than enough room. I would definately recommend this place and will be back in the future!! Many thanks, Alex Response: Many thanks for your review and we look forward to seeing you again.

“Excellent value, clean well equiped,very spacious, good location.” Great location for surfing in Croyde or over the next bay, walkable to village for evenings.. Lots of space inside and out. We used the garage so we could leave surf boards on the car roof or they could be safely stored in the garden outbuilding. The washing machine did not work when we arrived but it was sorted in 24 hours with no fuss and a follow up call to check all was ok. Comfortable beds and VERY hot water just what is needed after a surf session. Response: Many thanks for your feedback, the washing machine was repaired as soon as the problem was reported and we have now put a thermostat control on the water temperature. We look forward to seeing you again.

“Absoutley fantastic place to stay” We have been to Croyde many many times and were extremely delighted with the property it was exceptionally clean, it looked very new all over - paintwork, fixtures, fittings carpets etc. It was extremely well equiped for a party of 10 (4 adults and 6 children ranging from the ages of 4 to 50) plenty of comfortable seating, large dining table inside and out so we could all eat together very nice garden area, plenty of china and cutlery and freezer space. Fantastic location we could'nt want for anything better only minutes walk to the beach and village. Plenty of room to store surfboards and wetsuits. It would have been nice to have wifi. Response: Many thanks for your very positive feedback and we will look into the possibility of providing WIFI for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you to Sea Dunes in the future.

“Great base for a family holiday in North Devon” We enjoyed a fantastic week staying at Sea Dunes in a party of 5 adults and 5 children (all under 7). The property is well-located for the beach at Croyde, with its sand, waves and rock pools. Sea Dunes is well-equipped and the open-plan nature of the kitchen, dining room and lounge works really well for a big group. Everything worked and the property is very comfortable. As well as the beach, we found other great places for the children; plenty to do in Ilfacoombe and we recommend The Big Sheep and Atlantic Village and play park. Also, for golfers, Saunton is brilliant. The booking process was easy and Dave and Jane are a pleasure to deal with. The only negative was Saturday driving to get to and from Devon! Response: Thank you for leaving such wonderful comments. We strive to ensure that all our guests enjoy their stay at Sea Dunes and positive feedback is greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again.
