Reviews
We have recently returned from a fabulous long weekend at Hideaway. It was the perfect cottage for a family gathering. We were nine adults, one baby and dogs. The rooms were all warm and spacious and were great to accommodate all three generations. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking for a large group and the pub was just a short walk away for having an evening off cooking! The cottage had lots of extras such as a travel cot, highchair, books, games and DVDs. An added bonus was that the garden was totally secure for our dogs!
Once again we have stayed at The Hideaway in Croyde and enjoyed a fantastic week spent with our family. The house is situated in a very convenient location, accessible to the beach, shops, pubs and restaurants which are all easily within walking distance. The house has a wonderful layout with 2 bedrooms on ground floor and 3 bedrooms on first floor. It is very well equipped and spacious for all to enjoy their own space if they so wish. There is a games room, it is dog friendly and a hot tub is available if required. We have already booked again for next year!!! I would definitely recommend booking with Ocean Cottages, nothing is too much trouble and a lovely, friendly, helpful family-run business.
This property fits the bill for a family visit to Croyde. It is well equipped, exceptionally clean with modern amenities. It has a lovely space both inside and outside and good car parking for up to four cars. It's very near to the pubs, shops and restaurants of the village in a quiet residential area, perfect for a minute's stroll to the Thatch for a meal. The property was perfect for our stay and we will return, we had a great time . It's a 10 minute stroll to the beautiful beach at Croyde, just a lovely place to stay.
A lovely home to visit with a young family. Good space , secure garden, with plenty of outdoor dining space. House was clean and tidy on our arrival. The house is close to the village centre. Towels and bedding were in good condition. A few more bin liners, dishwasher tablets and tea towels would have been useful. Overall we had a great week and appreciated your close correspondence with us.
The Best place to spend Christmas, the house is perfect. Located close to the beach. Walking distance to the pub and had all the facilities you could need. Really clean and tidy and plenty of space.
We have stayed at The Hideaway a few times now and each holiday has been absolutely brilliant. The house is the perfect size and in the perfect location, we will definitely be returning again.
We have been coming to Croyde for many years. Location is key which Hideaways perfect. Room's downstairs are ideal, with upstairs built in the roof space so headroom is slightly restricted. The one negative upstairs there is no hanging space for any clothing. The property is clean, fresh and airy. We would recommend to others.
We have stayed many times and again found Hideaway to be spotless and top quality - thank you to the housekeeper and for the lovely box of biscuits. We had a great week and will definitely return again!
Lovely location, and everything was perfect. Thanks.
The house was ideal for our family of six adults & four children. It was very clean & spacious, it is worth noting that there is limited headroom in a couple of the bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen was well equipped & a lovely selection of books & games for younger children. The games room was also a big hit with everyone. The location is fantastic, minutes away from the village shops, park & pub.
We had a wonderful time at this property - it was clean, well equipped and in a perfect location. It was the perfect base for a weekend of making memories as a family. We'll be back!
Wonderful time, house fully equipped. Home from home except for the luxury of the hot tub. Our grandson's first holiday at 10 weeks old, he definitely wants to return.
Lovely stay at Hideaway for the family for Christmas. Good mix of communal space and able to also withdraw. Pedestrian access mostly to the beach. Good parking and of course the hot tub! Limited headroom upstairs but it isn't bother us.
Lovely week in lovely house! Perfect house for famalies.
My family, all 8 of us and a dog, stayed at Hideaways in Croyde last week. We had such a great time! The house is perfectly situated for the pub and the beach. Great location for exploring the North Devon coast. The accommodation was ideal for a family and the hot tub was the icing on the cake! We want to return next year so will be booking immediately! Thank you to Ocean Cottages...
Loved our stay here. House is roomy, modern, well maintained, ideal for families/groups and well positioned 2 minutes walk into the village. Booked again for next year!
Hideaway is in a great location. The house was extremely clean upon arrival. Great amenities and a lovely garden too.
Great company. Very efficient and honest. Friendly and helpful too. We have used them for many years and will continue to use them moving onwards!
Good position in the village eveything walkable , house ideal for multigenerational holiday . Clean and enclosed garden with good size hot tub and gamesroom
Lovely family accommodation for 3 generations, happy walkers, runners, cyclist, paddleboarders and surfers. Any minor problem we had was rectified very quickly. This was our second visit and looking forward to booking again.
I have stayed in a number of places in croyde and all are a very high standard, happy to say that hideaway doesn't disappoint in this sense and the location is really the icing on the cake. In such strange times this was the perfect home away from home and we loved our stay, the games room was definitely a winner with the kids! We had a slight issue on our stay with the cooker and this was quickly resolved with minimal fuss thanks to all concerned! A small suggestion that some areas need updating, upstairs shower and potentially cooker?
We spent a week here with 5 adults and 2 children and fell in love with the house. The location is perfect with the village only a 1 minute walk away and quick access to the main road to Braunton and Barnstaple etc.. The things we particularly loved were :- The fantastic oven with plenty of room for a large group The parking The extremely well stocked kitchen cupboards of utensils, cutlery etc…. The large supply of children's cutlery, plates etc…. The baby changing area in the utility room!! The amount of food storage available The library of DVD's and books The games and children's toys The underfloor heating!!!! The TV was a really good size and although we plugged our Apple TV in, we would've been well covered without (Netflix available) Having the cot in the room was great and saved us using our travel cot. Having a proper cot was a very nice touch. All of the beds were very comfortable (That's coming from quite a large couple and a 20 stone plus man.) Due to my daughter swapping beds I ended up having a sleep in all three upstairs beds! The retractable stairgates were great and so nice and easy to use and didn't get in the way at all when not being used. There were a good number of electrical sockets everywhere for nightlights, chargers, baby monitors etc… The little personal touches such as the welcome pint of milk and biscuits etc…. Overall the amount of space for 7 of us was amazing and even at full capacity would be plenty especially with 3 toilets/showers. The communication generally via email and text was great and we always felt if there was an issue then it would be dealt with without any hassle. We have already booked for next year and hope to be regular guests at Hideaway.
Brilliant holiday cottage ,well equipped ,kitchen , lounge area , games room and great hot tub etc,comfortable bed rooms . Plenty of parking for 3/4 cars. Very near village centre for shops pubs cafes. 10 minute stroll to the beach .
Lovely communal layout and very well equipped for a large group.
A brilliant week come rain or shine! Plenty of room and things to do for all nine of us, thank you!
Home from home, had great times. The hot tub was lovely. Thank you, will be back
We've had a fantastic holiday, felt like a home away from home. Our children loved all the DVD's books and games whilst the adults loved the hot tub. Thank you!
Runners, cyclist, walkers and beach lovers all had a fabulous week. Games room and hot tub perfect. Thank you!
We had a lovely week,the house is clean, spacious, and met all our needs. The bedrooms were comfortable and had lovely furniture. Good location close to some beautiful beaches. Thankyou .
Excellent cottage. Clean and welcoming . Enough room for 9 of us and dogs. We loved the games room and enjoyed an air hockey tournament. Croyde is a 1 min walk away. Hot tub was fab. Very well appointed kitchen. Saunton sands a great beach for dogs and kids!
Hideaway is a spacious, comfortable and very well presented house. We were particularly impressed with the amount of baby / toddler equipment and the selection of children's dvds. The hot tub was fabulous and very well maintained. The garden and games room was brilliant too. The only thing to note was the side gate could easily be opened by our 3 year old! - so parents might need to be made aware of this. The location was great too - in a quiet cul de sac but close to all the amenities. We all had a fabulous time.
4 Generations ages from 2yrs to 92yrs and the house was perfect for everyone. Spotlessly clean , well equipped and lovely bedding. Great location for local amenities Croyde Bay and surrounding beaches. Everyone had a fab time. Highly recommended.
A lovely break in a great holiday cottage with the added bonus of a hot tub and good weather. Croyde has some good places to eat and drink with a nice beach and coastal walks.
This was our first stay at The Hideaway and it certainly didn't disappoint!! We had such a fantastic week that we have already booked again for next year!! We cannot wait!! The accommodation is spacious and of a high standard. We found the log burner very welcoming on the October evenings. We cooked several family meals on the large cooker and had great fun seated around the large dining table. The situation of The Hideaway is perfect for walking access to the village - where there are some lovely places for meals and drinks. The lovely beach is within easy walking distance - ideal for everyone - especially for the dogs to have their daily exercise.
