Longboards

We had a fab holiday in a fab house - will definitely book again.

This house is amazing. I love the Hot Tub and it is a perfect and easy walk to the beach. Love the Surf and a perfect location to the Thatch.

It was a magnificent holiday. My favourite part was the Hot Tub because after you get cold in the sea, you can have a shower and get all warm again in the Hot Tub. It is a a short and easy walk for the Beach and there are lots of lovely restaurants within a 5 minute walk.

Wonderful House, really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

Perfect House, weather and awesome holiday at all! Thanks for everything!

A fabulous stay in a wonderful location with everything we could possibly need provided. Excellent access to the beach, close to the local amenities and the Hot Tub is AMAZING. We're going home relaxed and happy but very sad to be going - we'll be back!!

Great house, great hot tub, great holiday! Cafe at Baggy Point is excellent and the food at The Manor House is ok.

Very nice house, clean and very convenient access to the beach and village. Looked after very well!

Lovely accommodation. Enjoyed the hot tub! Very local with a short walk to the beach.

Delighted with the accommodation. Comfortable, spacious and convenient house for our lovely holiday. Enjoyed walks to the beach and the village.

Had an amazing stay, loved the house and hot tub! Thanks to Matilda for helping!

We have enjoyed a wonderful weekend in a fabulous house. Very well equipped, a great location and an amazing hot tub. Will definitely be recommending to all of our friends! Thank you.

A great weekend and everything you could ever need. I loved the hot tub! Everything you could ever need

Awesome week. A fantastic time in a lovely property. Thank you! Until next time...

Most holiday home adverts tend to over- promise and under deliver. This one is the opposite in that the pictures and narrative on the website’s simply don’t do justice to this wonderful holiday home. The facilities are truly superb and above all this has to be the cleanest house I have ever rented. It can be a bit of a lottery when renting a holiday home in terms of cleanliness but this house is truly a credit to its owners and especially to the housekeeper. It was spotless in every regard. All of the equipment that you could ever possibly need is there (and more) and it all works!!. Just brilliant. Then there’s the lovey location and surrounding areas. Again wonderful. I’m tempted not to say too much about this superb house so that not too many people will rent it and it will be easier for me to rent it again in the future – but that would be unfair and against the spirit of user reviews– Instead I have to be honest and give credit where it is due ---- this is an excellent holiday home – we will be back as soon as we can – go stay here – you won't be disappointed. Simply wonderful.!!

What a fantastic house! We spent a lovely week at Longboards, it has all the amenities a family could require and more; a fully equipped kitchen with underfloor heating, a master en suite with dressing area, all clean and spotless throughout. A short stroll to the beach for surfing and the village close by. Stunning scenery for running, and of course, the hot tub! Have already booked for next year...its a 10 from us!

A great family holiday home which we shared with our friends. Everything that you require is there. We had taken our own body boards and windbreak but if we had known that the house had these we would have left ours at home so a bit more information would be helpful. We would book this house again, We all loved the hot tub. My only negative points would be that the master bedroom needed a mirror and dressing table as you couldn't dry your hair in there and I would recommend a nice garden table and chairs as the one there is not very comfortable. The weather was rubbish but we had a wonderful holiday and would love to return sometime to this great house in North Devon.

Very comfortable, spacious, contemporary property. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen with good white china etc. Large table was great. Leather block seating suited the property but was a bit low down for the 80 year olds in our family party! The Devon cream tea (scones and clotted cream) was a nice welcome touch and we appreciated Matilda the housekeeper calling round the morning after our arrival to check all was ok. Great location very close to the path down to the beach and the road into the village.

Had a fantastic week in a fantastic house. The house is very well equipped with room for everyone. The hot tub was an added bonus and enjoyed by all. The beach and village are both within easy walking distance. My only criticism would be the height of the sofa ( very comfy but a little too low) and the garden furniture - not enjoyable sitting on cheap pub garden benches.

We have rented many houses for our family holidays but this is far and beyond the best we have found. There is a luxurious quality feel about the house which is both well thought out and comfortable. The location is brilliant with access a path so close you can be on at the beach in a few minutes. The house has a double shower wet room which you access from the back garden making it really easy to wash the beach off and then jump into the amazing Jacuzzi! My family and I just can't recommend Longboards enough - we will most certainly be booking again.

Great house, great surroundings. Wish weather was a little better but would definitely come back in the summer. Lovely little village and people.

Loved the hot tub & loved the house, close to everything. Thank you

A perfect weekend in a perfect home. Thank you for thinking of everything to make our stay comfortable and peaceful. Thank you Hils & Lou

Awesome weekend. Fab place, hot tub, brilliant time, surfing and giggles. Thank you

This house is fantastic. It has everything you need, is beautifully furnished and is immaculate. We even had welcoming scones, jam and clotted cream waiting for us! There were 5 of us and we all had a wonderful time. We weren't so good at the surfing - it is way harder than it looks - but it was worth it just to come back to the gorgeous hot tub. Pure bliss! The beaches are great and only 10 minute walk down a track. Would definitely come back to stay here xxx

Fab time celebrating Ian's 40th with friends. Great house, loved Croyde, definitely come again. Thank you

Second stay - as awesome as ever! Weather superb, facilities superb, hot tub superb!

Beautiful place to stay and just as beautiful scenery. Would recommend the baggy point hike along the coast. Everything you need within a 5/10 minute walk. Everyone in the area was really friendly, especially at The Thatch. Good food, service and vibe. Great lighting around the house, love the decor and truly felt at home. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic house - perfect for the celebration of the Marshall - Waterfield family! Surfing, picnics, wedding and hot tub! PERFECT!!!

I had a lovely time swimming in the sea.

Big sheep was great fun for little kids. Croyde beach is nice Great place for a fab holiday. Thank you

Another excellent holiday here at Longboards in Croyde with my family. Nice weather, lovely house, brilliant hot tub and lots of fun. Lauryn

Wonderful house, fantastic location and a great village. We've had an amazing holiday!!! 5 stars The Sutton Family

EPIC TIME!!! Loved the hot-tub, ice-cream, wonderful waves. FUN! Good pub, lovely disco. Epic games in the cupboard!

Brilliant house with excellent facilities. Loved the hot tub and close location to the beach. Thank you O'Rouke Stockport

Excellent facilities, great location, lovely holiday. A place for family jollies! Will definitely recommend and hope to be back. Leicster

Fantastic week, even the weather was beautiful. House wonderful everything we could wish for and more. Roper family

Stayed here for a week with family in August. Perfect space for us, good accommodation just a walk from the beach or the village. The hot tub and outdoor dining area were excellent. When the weather was not so good and we spent time in the house, there was enough space downstairs for children to play. Would definitely like to return.

Amazing weekend with friends, brilliantly equipped and have to mention the hot tub - thank you

Third visit! Superb as ever.... Weather was great, all in the sea! Even better when you return to the hot-tub!

Third Visit! Superb as ever. Weather was great, all went in the sea, even better when you return to the hot tub!

Family gathering to celebrate a birthday! Amazing house and location. Loved our walks to the beach. So lucky with the weather, cold and crisp but fab for the hot tub. So enjoyed our long weekend. Will definitely return next year.

What an amazing house. Have come to Croyde now many times and always stay in the Ocean Cottages homes and as always the housekeeper has them spotless. Thank you for everything.

Family and very old friends gathered. A wonderful house which was filled with love and laughter. Long beach walks, good food and wine enjoyed. Here's to the next time!

We've had another fantastic week at Longboards this summer - 3 years in a row! It is such a fantastically well designed and well located house and has worked well for us with other adult friends, another family with young kids, and with extended family (not all at same time!). We love the overall layout, the barbecue and hot tub, the outdoor shower, free kids wetsuits and body boards and most importantly the ability to walk onto beach in less than 10 minutes even with small children. We can pop to and from multiple times a day which is invaluable.

We booked both Longboards and Seascape for a large family gathering to celebrate a special birthday. Even though the weather was changeable we had great fun in the sea then warmed up in the hot tub afterwards. Our gazebo even fitted outside for al fresco dinning in the rain! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely house, very comfortable and the hot tub has been great. We have been blessed with amazing weather all week. Once again another great holiday in lovely Croyde!

Second time around with a family group with 2 infants and 2 children, 2 and 5. Nice walks to beach and village, found more play areas this time and the Cascades swim pool at the Parkdean resort. Great accomodation as ever and extremely helpful housekeeper and team at Ocean Cottages.

Thank you for a lovely stay - we all had a fantastic time and appreciated how well equipped with whole place was inc the outdoor shower / wet room which was much appreciated.

Very well equipped. Weather dodgy but hot tub was glorious! We will be back - thank you :-)

My husband & daughters surprised me with a 6oth birthday weekend at Longboards! Wow, what a surprise of a lovely house, more than you could wish for. Everything supplied and clean and tidy. Hot tub was a real bonus and was well used over the weekend! 

Just returned from a long weekend at Longboards. What a gem of a find. It was to celebrate a special birthday for me and booked as a surprise by my family. I could not of asked for more. This is a fantastic house,very well equipped with extra added touches. The scones ,jam and cream on arrival were very much appreciated. Everything was so crisp,clean and tidy. Didn't get opportunity to meet Matilda but she does a absolutely fantastic job. The hot tub was the Icing on the cake and was well used over our stay. As the weather was so good was able to use the BBQ and eat el fresco too. Looking forward for another stay.

Lovely house & had a nice time in the hot tub. Love the blue LED in bathroom, house is lovely. All in all great house, perfectly designed with space & layout. Good location, comfortable. Recommend The Thatch pub for meals.

Family holiday. Fantastic house, brilliant accommodation, good size rooms comfortable in every aspect Lovely bathrooms great hot tub in the garden plenty of space for everyone Short walk to the beach and yes what a beach surfers paradise Lovely yet small village with nice pubs the thatch being 5 minutes walk from the cottage Woolacombe Ilfracombe short drive away and Saunton sands beach just up the road well worth a visit And we got the weather all in all great house you must try guarantee you will not regret it

Fantastic week for Jonah's (6 months) first family week holiday! Lovely clean house with everything needed. Loved having the hot tub. We were very lucky with perfect weather. Sorting out dates to come back next year to Croyde & Longboards! 

The hot tub was amazing. The walk to the beach was so short. The restaurants are amazing. Especially liked Billy Budds. It is a pleasure to stay here.

Croyde is a little gem & the surfing is great! 

We all had a great time trying surfing for the first time ever and very much enjoyed using the hot tub after being in the freezing sea.

We stayed for a week 1st week of September. The location of the house is perfect as you can walk to the beach in around 10 mins and into the village in about 2 mins which is great for the Pub!! The house is modern, clean and well equipped and even has three surf boards you can use. We surfed everyday and having the hot showers in a special room you can access from outside was ideal as was the hot tub for discussing who had the best waves. The BBQ is good quality and we enjoyed it on a couple of evenings. Croyde is lovely and the house is ideal for walking to Baggy Point etc. Parking was easy with a space on the drive and two outside on the road. Overall a great visit and we hope to book again to go next year.

2nd time at Longboards, love it!! Beautiful house and lovely hot tub. Lovely relaxing week - loved the beach and hot tub - many thanks indeed.

Thank you so much for a fantastic weekend in your gorgeous house. We have had a brilliant time and the sun has been out the whole time! The kids adored the beach and are already desperate to come back.

Longboards lived up to all our expectations and more. It is a comfortable spacious house and equipped with everything you need for a great holiday. The close proximity to the beach was a bonus, particularly as access is via a footpath ( approx 10 mins with little children) so no need to walk on the busy road through the village. The hot tub was very well used, as were the surf boards and children's wet suits. All in all a wonderful family holiday, so thank you.

What a fantastic home from home! We have loved staying here and wish we'd had longer...hopefully we'll be back again soon!

Great week, great surfing in the rain! Made good use of the surfboards, have been to three other house's on Sandy Way, this is the best!!! Thank you

Fantastic location - Walking distance to both Croyde beach and Croyde village centre. Longboards is spacious, well designed ( outside shower room kept house free from sand) and very clean and comfortable.

The location is fantastic, close to the beach and village centre.
