Sandcastles Reviews

Warwick
We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen has loads of work surface and is well appointed apart from no kitchen scissors. The double bed was very comfortable and the bedrooms have plenty of cupboard space and drawers. Very good and powerful shower. It is a short walk to the dunes and the beach (not dog friendly) and the the excellent, very dog and people friendly, TheThatch pub. Good beers, wines and food. Woolacombe and Saunton beaches nearby are not only lovely beaches but also dog friendly. The shop in the post office is well stocked.
Julie
The properties perfectly acceptable for a weekâ??s holiday. Itâ??s a good 20 minute walk to the beach with kids. There isnâ??t a local supermarket or called the shop as you would expect apart from the one at park Dean, which is extremely expensive. It can be a little noisy with the road and people walking past but you get used to it. However itâ??s a nice little cottage.
Diane
A lovely cottage in an excellent location though the road noise is quite intrusive. Just desperately in need of a makeover
Graham
This was our first experience of a holiday cottage rental in 25 years. The kitchen had everything you could need and was nicely appointed. The property was really convenient for the beach and village. Good location for walking in the surrounding countyside.
Carolyn

Stephen
Would recommend this cottage if above was actioned.
George
Great location, short walk to the beach and bungalow had all we needed for a family of 4. Thank you
Anthony
My family and I (+1 dog) had a wonderful holiday in Croyde. The propertyâ??s location is fantastic. A short walk to Croyde Beach (dog restrictions apply), also a short walk into Croyde village to enjoy the local amenities. Saunton Beach is only a 5 minute drive from the cottage, a fantastic beach and very dog friendly. Likewise Woolacombe Beach is very dog friendly too, a 15 minute drive. All the beaches are very beautiful. The cottage was great for our family , 2 adults, 2 children (11 and 13), it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was just the right size. I would certainly recommend the cottage as a holiday stay and the area is utterly beautiful and made for a very memorable family holiday. Thank you.
Ruth
Fantastic location. Great place to stay with dogs. Shame there wasn't an enclosed garden but our dogs were happy to chill indoors after long walks. Everything we needed was there.
Jenifer
Comfortable and clean. Very close to the beach. We love Sandcastles, this was our 2nd visit and we hope to make it a 3rd time.
