Guest Book Comment: We had a lovely stay at Broad De to celebrate my 60th birthday. Beautiful weather. Overall fantastic.
Guest Book Comment: Lovely 80th birthday celebration. Broad De is in a fantastic location with wonderful walks, beaches and amazing places to eat. The Williams Arms in Braunton does a fantastic carvery, The Thatch is also a fantastic place to eat. We would all love to revisit. Saunton and Croyde beaches were lovely, great for dogs and exploring.
Great property. Everything worked perfectly. Very easy and smooth rental process.
This house is perfect! The backgarden is a sheltered sun trap with spectacular views over fields, paddocks and sea. The facilities were everything we needed wrapped up in a calm ocean cottage interior with big windows looking out over beautiful Croyde in every room. What an absolute treat!
A lovely family get together!! Been coming to Croyde for over 20 years and always looked at Broad-De... Lovely house, well looked after, perfect position. Great stay - thank you

Celebrating my husbands 60th birthday in our favourite place Croyde. We have been visiting for over 30 years and Broad de made it that bit more special. A well equipped beautiful comfortable house in a fantastic location close to the beach and village.
Guest Book Comment:
A wonderful week celebrating a 60th Birthday. We have been visiting Croyde for over 30 years and Broad-De made it that little bit more special. Well-equipped house in a great location. Weather was up and down, but good for February - we even had a dip in the sea. Thank you.
Another wonderful Christmas with all the family at Broad-De. Thanks for making the house homely
The house had everything we needed in a party of 9 celebrating a 70th birthday close to Christmas. Very spacious and clean with lovely views. Great walks from your doorstep and places to eat and grab a coffee.
Brilliant 70th celebration - we kept The Thatch solvent for a while! Love Devon in the winter, we still got out for walks. Ideal, exceptional house.
Fabulous weekend for a 60th Birthday party. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. Lovely rooms and stunning views. The dogs were very happy, too!
A superb week in a fabulous house. We wanted for nothing - very well equipped! Weather better than expected. Thank you.
Brilliant week in Croyde, lovely house in a great location. Weather was great for October :) Thank you.
We have just returned after a fantastic week at Broad-De. The house is fully equipped especially for families, the garden has the most amazing patio with stunning views and comfortable sun loungers and chairs. A large table for eating al fresco and Broad-De is in the a perfect position with a short walk to both the beautiful beach, pubs and amazing places to eat. The welcome hamper was a generous and thoughtful touch and the team at Ocean Cottages are always happy to help and knowledgeable with arranging the best holiday homes to make sure your stay is perfect, this is why we wouldn't use anyone else.
I don't normally do reviews but this house was exceptional. They thought of everything and the little hamper on arrival was such a nice touch. The weather was not the best but we are surfers and the waves were great apart from red flag at Croyde bay for 2 days. However, Putsborough and Saunton Sands beach were amazing and within easy reach. Definitely recommend this house.
Thank you for a lovely time. The house was BRILLIANT - made up for the weather.
Lush beach, big house, nice paintings, comfy beds, nice showers, cool markets, gorgeous beautiful sunsets, excellent food, fun coasteering and surfing - best holiday house we have ever been in!
This is a true gem in Croyde with everything you need for an enjoyable stay! Close to the beach and town, the views are amazing and all the rooms are lovely! Don't hesitate to book! Thank you Ocean Cottages! We'll be back!
We had a wonderful time in North Devon and the house was beyond our expectations. The location was just perfect! The kitchen was fantastically equipped with everything needed and more for our stay. The outside space and view was just beautiful, and ideal and relaxing.The master bedroom was stunning and comfortable, in fact all beds were comfortable. The welcome hamper and flowers was a lovely touch and was much appreciated, the whole family enjoyed all the goodies. We had the most fantastic time and would definitely visit again!
A Beautiful appointed house, in the perfect location. A short walk to the local beach and village. Other beaches (dog friendly) accessible to drive too and not to far. The house has lots of space inside and out for a large group/ family. An idyllic view from the garden to relax. Just perfect!
We had a brilliant week in a very lovely house. The garden and grounds were perfect for our dog to be able to roam around safely, with no risk of escape. There were lots of things provided for our 2 small children (10 months and nearly 3yrs) which helped make our life easier. And when there was a small problem with the house, it was resolved incredibly quickly, leaving no negative impact on our holiday at all. I would definitely stay here again!
Enjoyed a lovely family holiday for ten two dogs. Wonderfully social kitchen/dining area with plenty of space for all. Kitchen well equipped for cooking/eating. Comfortable beds and living space and downstairs wet room a bonus for surfers. Safe garden for dogs and plenty of parking space too. Stunning views from all rooms and garden and so convenient for both town and beach.
Great week, despite the hurricane winds! Lovely house - many thanks.
Great holiday in house close to beach - great surfing
Fabulous week enjoyed by all the family in this lovely home - loved Croyde and look forward to returning soon.
Managed to get all of our family together - first time since covid. The house was the perfect base for us to spend a wonderful holiday together - thank you!
7th holiday in our fave holiday home. The best weather ever!! Lots of memories made - we LOVE this place!
An awesome 3-generation family gathering with family visiting from Canada & beyond! Surfing, volleyball, beach games & walks galore! Thank you for the perfect hosting house.
This is our third stay at Broad-De (May 2011 & May 2013) we had the usual fun - beach & surfing, eating out, icecreams, cream teas, boules on the lawn and had the most amazing weather - hot & dry! Broad-De holds a special place in our hearts, hopefully it won't take us 9 years to return!
Excellent - great for extended families - plenty of space, well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, games room / children's lounge, well organised, thoroughly enjoyable.
This year spent at Broad-De with extended family and pets. Spacious, comfortable and in an awesome location with ready access to the beach, booze and Baggy Point, of course! A perfect opportunity to all be together again after a long, limiting lockdown! A wise man told us 'the sun always shines in Croyde' and he wasn't wrong #paradisefound.
Really fantastic service the whole way through from the team at Ocean Cottages. The property itself has full facilities to make it an extremely enjoyable and stress free stay for families, lot's of space to cook and high chairs and kids plates. Location is perfect 10 minutes from beach, 5 minutes from local shops and playground.
Great house in an excellent location with very picturesque views. Just a few minutes walk to both the sandy beach and the centre of Croyde. Spotlessly clean with plenty of available space for all of our party both inside and out and an enclosed dog friendly garden. Wonderful kitchen/dining area for socialising and admiring the stunning views. A great week in a great house
A great house , with fabulous views to the sea and sunsets too. Shame we could not have the whole family there this time re Covid rules. There is so much to do nearby , equally the open kitchen diner is such a large bright space that staying in was a pleasure too. Great that the beach is only a short walk away.
We had a lovely stay! Beautiful house and stunning location. 5 minute walk into Croyde . Great place to work by day and have a few drinks in the evening. The team at ocean cottages were fabulous. Very responsive and most helpful. Would definitely return.
We stayed at Broad De for a week with family. The house was lovely, plenty of space to spread out. We all loved sitting in the garden which has the sun all day long. Lovely to sit with a glass of wine enjoying the views. Broad De is in a good location, a short walk to the beach and the village. The house was very clean and very well equipped. We all loved our time here and hope to return next year.
For the first time ever we came back to Broad De for the second year running. It's that good. It's position in Croyde is fantastic with wrap around stunning views including the sea. 5 minute walk from the beach and the village shops. We absolutely loved sitting in the dining room with the bifold doors open just relaxing and taking in the views. The dogs loved sunbathing and mooching in the huge garden, in equal measures. There are 2 stunning and huge beaches for dogs nearby (Saunton Sands and Putsborough) which me made use of and great footpaths which take in great coastal walks and views. A fantastic property to enjoy your holiday from and I'm sure we'll be back again.
We had the most wonderful stay. the house is stunning and everything has been so well thought out, there is everything you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Ocean Cottages were incredibly professional and more than accomodating of us throughout our stay. We had a brilliant week! Ther eis lots to do both at the house and in the local area. the views from the house are beautiful and Croyde is only a 5 minute walk away. it was peaceful, spacious and super clean. the patio and garden are wonderful spaces to enjoy and ther is also lots of space to park on the driveway. I would highly recommend this place to stay for both families and friends. We went with no children however I noticed plenty of child friendly additions to the house, such as a high chair, children's games, staireay gate, children's plates and cutlery. North Devon countryside is outstanding and we would love to return to this house again someday to enjoy it!
Stunning location and great weekend. Thank you for the gorgeous welcome hamper and facilities. We will be back
The house exceeded my expectations the heating was on and a fab welcome basket was in the kitchen. Good showers and a great space to entertain. Love it will definitely book through Ocean Cottages again.
Appreciated the board games, 2 puzzles and the well stocked kitchen and welcome basket. We hope to be back again.
So lucky with the weather. Body boarding, walking, cycling on the Tarka Trail. Fab! And our annual visit to the Big Sheep! Such fun BRB!
Just spent a week at Broad De in croyde with our family, the house is perfectly located,few minutes from the beach,has everything in it , fantastic equipped kitchen, lovely garden, enclosed for our dogs, beautiful house with lots of beach things to use, drying room etc, lots of space for the seven of us.the village is so pretty and the best fish and chips at Squires in Braunton,we will definitely be returning! Heaven ♥️
This was a great base for our family holiday, with plenty of room of four adults, three young children and one baby. The house was bright and airy, clean, nicely furnished, and very well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches - including milk in the fridge and a welcome box of goodies. We felt very at home and relaxed. And the views all around were stunning. Particularly loved looking out of upstairs window at the sun setting over what I think was Baggy Point. Great location - took us just ten minutes (with little legs and assorted paraphernalia) to get onto the beach, and even less time to get to the village centre for fish and chips/ice creams/large G&T!
I have been returning to Croyde since 1954 and have stayed in all kinds of accommodation, from tent to Broad De and everything in between. Broad De was the perfect choice to celebrate my 70th birthday with my family, we are 6 adults and 4 small children aged from 4 to 7. All our needs were catered for, everything was just perfect thank you.
Just wanted to say thank you, we had a great week at Broad De. Beautiful house and gardens. We love Croyde and have been coming for 15 years but never used Ocean Cottages before. Will use again.
Thank you again, we enjoyed our week.
Stayed for the week for a family wedding , house couldn't be better , clean , modern and very spacious , plus the fantastic views cannot be beaten . A great holiday we would love to go back
Sea safari in Ilfracombe a big success too!
Glorious weathe. Really happy holiday. Lot of fun! Hope to be back again next year. PS: Appreciated the lovely cream tea hamper!
Terrific weather for a bank holiday was the icing on the cake.
Wish we could have stayed forever! Thank you fo having us!
Thanks so much for making a fantastic girly long weekend possible!
We had snow on the Sunday which was fantastic! The views were spectacular and as none of us had ever waled on the beach with snow - it has vecome one off ourbuckewt lists. Great for little kids, well equipped. Thank you.
