The garden was excellent and we all enjoyed relaxing and playing in it!
We stayed with daughter, son in law and grandson. The house was very clean, well equipped, comfortable and well positioned within the village of Croyde. The garden was excellent and we all enjoyed relaxing and playing in it!! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

the beds comfortable and kitchen absolutely a pleasure to cook in
The location of the house is central to the village shops and bars and although very close did not experience any noise from visitors to the village. The house was lovely and clean, the beds comfortable and kitchen absolutely a pleasure to cook in. The best part of the house was the en suite, kitchen and lovely well kept garden, the worst bit was the attached shower on the bath was positioned so that you needed to bend over to wash your hair, however there was a full sized shower in the downstairs bedroom

centrally located in Croyde, easy access to both shops and beach
Hills View is centrally located in Croyde offering easy access to both the small shops and the beach. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable for six people with a modern, well equipped kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and drying area, living space and large bedrooms.
There is a large enclosed garden and parking on site.

Having stayed at a property that was minus 4 stars two years ago
Having stayed at a property that was minus 4 stars two years ago, Croyde in general was the last place on the planet I wanted to visit, however my Grandson likes surfing so it was with trepidation that I booked with Ocean Cottages taking on the lease of Hills View who assured me that my fears would not be repeated. Oceans Cottages deserve full marks (20/10!) for the attention paid to me which can only be a reflection of the high standard that they have set themselves. Hills View is a highly recommend property.
We shall certainly use Ocean Cottages again, and if available "Hills View".
However, greater attention to detail on the part of Ocean Cottages to that of the Terms and Conditions is a must especially to the written English Language concerning the handover procedures.

Great family holiday by the sea, close to all amenities
Hills View is set in the centre of busy Croyde ( in Summer) with convenient access to the shop, post office, bakery, family pub , restaurant and surfing shops. The visiting Markets are just across the road and the beach is accessible via the footpath by the bakery ( 10 mins walk) or along the road up the hill ( parking available) although this is busy. The Cottage is well equipped and has everything you need to feel like a home for your stay, complete with reclining chairs and sofas in the lounge! We really enjoyed our stay, as did everyone else according to the guest book!

The best house we have rented!
This is a really lovely house and I cannot imagine a better one in the whole of Croyde. It is the best house we have rented in terms of its location and garden. The grandchildren have loved it. They also enjoyed Peppa Pig's oven etc! Lovely bedrooms and we all slept well. Thank you for the flowers. We have loved this house!

A Delight in North Devon
Centrally located premises in the heart of an old North Devon Village. A haven for surfers, but also for those who simply want to walk and cycle and stay dry (weather dependant). The countryside is magnificent, the coast line dramatic, the views on a clear day exquisite .
The accommodation was practical, homely and very comfortable. The owner was most helpful and the agents (Ocean Cottages) were efficient, helpful and patient.
Being a dog friendly premises enhanced the whole experience as our friends hounds were able to join in and add to a very relaxing break away. Local pubs and restaurants were not a disappointment, but further afield in Georgeham and Braunton other good restaurants available. I defy anyone NOT to fall in love with North Devon, a lot of people already are, which would account for some excess traffic on the roads in Peak periods, so plan ahead! A great stay. Thank you.

The cottage is in an ideal position and felt like home fro home,
This is our second visit to Croyde - The cottage is in an ideal position and felt like home fro home, being cosy, fully equipped and peaceful. We're amazed how so many pubs and restaurants allow your dogs in!! Brilliant!
The Kings Arms in Georgeham is fantastic and all the locals are so friendly. Braunton has a great pub (the building is shaped like a castle and overlooks the estuary, I can't remember it's name) We will definitely return to Croyde with the rest of the clan! Happy days!!

exceptionally well located in the heart of Croyde
Hills View is a lovely house with a great garden, perfect for both our daughters and 2 dogs. We had a very enjoyable week there in August and found the house very well equipped and exceptionally well located in the heart of Croyde - steps from the deli, village shop, pop up pizza stall, pubs and restaurants and even the deckchair cinema in the village hall across the road. An easy walk to the beach and good access to Saunton Sands for the dogs to have a run. Recommend highly.

Delightful, enjoyable, funfilled stay
Hills view cottage was just wonderful, it had everything we needed and more. Plus being able to have our little dogs on holiday with us with no fuss just topped it off. They especially loved the beautiful garden.
Great fun had by all
Thanks

This is our 2nd time at HIlls View and it never disappoints!
It is a truly lovely house and superbly located for the village and the beach. We will definitely be back again as Croyde if one of our favourite places in Devon! The owners of this house are also super friendly and can't do enough for you if you need it.

Fabulous cottage !!
The cottage was lovely and ticked all the boxes. I have never walked into such a clean holiday home before as this one, such a pleasure. It had everything you needed plus comfort, the recliner sofa and chairs were so comfortable, just what you need to relax in after a day out. The garden was just brilliant, fully secure for our two collie dogs to play and run around in without having to worry about them. The location of the cottage was perfect, we were able to walk everywhere, great not to have to get the car out to go to the beaches, cafe's and pubs that were all within walking distance. We really did enjoy our stay at Hill's View and would definitely re visit and recommend. Just perfect !!

Perfect holiday home
In an amazing position right in Croyde and beautiful garden with
great views which we loved. Well equipped, homely and pristinely
clean. Six of us and our dog enjoyed our stay and with the weather
being not so good at times the cosy lounge and recliner settee was
also welcome . We will definitely book again.

Great property
Excellent stay at Hills view cottage, great location and my 2
German short haired pointers enjoyed the large secure garden.The
cottage was nice and clean.The only slight down side was the
attention to cleanliness of the downstairs bedroom quilt and
pillows which could do with been replaced as they were stained and
tired.However I would definitely recommend and book this property
in the near future.
