A great location, with an impressive garden. A large, clean and functional property.

Me and my wife and our 2 children (5 and 2) had a wonderful stay at Lane Head. The cottage is perfectly positioned, a couple of mins walk into the village and 10 or so mins walk to the beach. The cottage is well equipped and spacious, has a big garden for the kids to play in and has beautiful views towards the village and out to the sea. The village is very quaint with a few lovely pubs and coffee shops, a playground, and there is even a little market a few days a week. We would happily recommend and would definitely consider staying again!

Lovely spacious cottage with everything we needed. Garden was huge and the views from it were great. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing week in Croyde bay.

The bungalow is situated in a elevated position which affords views over Croyde and when the weather permits out to sea to view some lovely sun rises and sunsets from the lounge. Being surrounded by gardens it gives a good amount of privacy to the occupiers. With ample space for a family and with modern features it provides a good level of comfort. Croyde seems to be ostensibly a surfers paradise with a lovely sandy bay to cater for even the youngest 'bucket and spade' adventurer and allows a return to the seaside fun of yesteryear. Plenty of walks along the coast, up to Baggy Point and along to Saunton Sands with sea views all the way. Ideally situated as a base for the local area for excursions further afield to Barnstaple and the National Trust properties at Arlington Court and Knightshayes offer a great day out.Generally a lovely part of Devon bordering Cornwall and offering a choice of activities including a relaxing evening at the local hostelries over a glass or two of a suitable beverage.

This 3 bedroom bungalow is in a wonderful location a 10 minute walk from Croyde beach and a 5 minute walk from town. It is set back from a single track lane and has loads of parking next to the property. It has a large garden however please note that there is a drop down to the road so young children should be supervised if they are playing outside. We have stayed here twice over the years and would again. The bungalow has good facilities, a good shower and everything you need for self catering. When we stayed last it was during a cold snap and my only complaint would be that the storage heaters controls were blanked off to prevent change. We had a cold couple of days and the heaters only charged up at night. I would imagine this is not a problem for 90% of guests. For the money this bungalow is brilliant value. It is not super deluxe but the location, placement and 3 bedrooms have made it a great family stay.

An amazing bungalow with a fantastic garden very spacious and very clean has everything you need. Literally don’t have any complaints perfect location 10 mintue walk from the beach and what a beautiful location, breath taking views from the kitchen and front room windows of the Sea and the sunsets I will definitely be booking again soon. The area is beautiful, 10 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to the local town the pubs are fantastic it’s very cute rural village perfect for a get away. Shops like Asda and Tesco’s are a short drive away or a simple bus ride so easy to get around and the walks around the area are beautiful. Overall it’s a fantastic place perfect for a get away and the location is beautiful and handy as the bungalow is between the village and the beach it’s perfect.

Comfortable spacious cottage for our family of 4, the host was very pleasant and helpful. Great location, walking distance to the village and beach. Croyde is also ideally located for exploring North Devon. Would stay again without a doubt.
Lecieux family

Lovely house, compact but well laid out with a nice view from the living room and garden towards the ocean and the fields. Easy walk to the village centre and the beach. The house is basic so don’t expect luxury fittings but it’s clean and in working order and has all you need for a week away on holidays. There is a good range of kitchen ustensiles to cook as well.

The Court Family
July 2021
The property is spacious and well suited to a family holiday, the garden was particularly appreciated by the children. There was almost everything there that you need, particularly in the kitchen.
Croyde and surrounding area are absolutely stunning. Lane Head is in a brilliant position to explore and very handy for the village, restaurants and pubs and an easy walk to the beach.
The holiday represented fair value for money, we enjoyed staying at Lane Head and in Croyde. A little bit of sprucing up would improve the look of the interior, the settee and tv were great.
Ling Family

The bungalow is in a wonderful location with beautiful views and a lovely large garden. The property was clean and well-equipped, with everything we needed for our time away.
A fantastic area, with a great beach (especially great for surfers) and we loved the walk around Baggy Point.
The bungalow was a perfect place to stay on our holiday and we would highly recommend it!
Davies Family
May 2021
Our family of 3 (including a 19 month old) stayed for one week in early May. The location is probably the best part - less than a 5 minute stroll into Croyde village which was great for ice cream, coffee and takeaway food. If our daughter was a bit older we would have eaten out as well. And 10-15 minute walk to Croyde beach. There are also a few nice circular walks that you can start from the cottage, so that was great. There are three bedrooms, so our daughter had her own one and was very happy. She also liked running around and exploring the cottage. The cottage is simple, but has everything you really need for a low key, relaxing holiday. We would definitely return, not just to the area but to Lane Head.

We spent a relaxing week at Lane Head. The house is a short stroll to the village centre with its many restaurants, bars and shops - all COVID compliant and a 10 minute walk to the beach.
The house was very clean and sanitised on arrival, well equipped and very comfortable. The patio had table and chairs to enjoy the sunshine and views of the surrounding area. The lawned garden was secure. The owners gave us a very comprehensive list of ‘things to do’ and recommendations in the area, as well as operating instructions for the household appliances...very useful.
If we venture back to this part of Devon, Lane Head would be at the top of my list.

The location is fantastic - a very short walk down to Croyde beach and the local shops and it's only a short drive to Putsborough beach and Saunton Sands (where we spent most of our days).
The cottage has a beautiful, large garden, which my children adored. It was a great place to spend a relaxing week by the coast. Thanks very much

Spacious and well presented bungalow.
Stayed here for a week at the end of July. Bungalow is ideally situated between beach and village. Own private drive and plenty of garden area to relax and sit outside to have a barbecue. Very comfortable lounge and the three bedrooms are well appointed and spacious. Excellent kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine which we found really useful. Would highly recommend this property.
