Reviews
Lovely property, spotlessly clean. Fantastic location a short walk to the beach. Communications with Sue at Ocean Cottages was really great before and also during the stay. Would definitely come again.
Our party of 8 included grandparents, young adults and 1 small dog, we had a great time at Longboards. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the living open plan kitchen/living really works and is large enough to accommodate our large group. The location really works being 500m from the village and the beach. So good we are returning.
We had a wonderful stay at Longboards. Ours was a last minute booking and Richard could not have been more helpful arranging this for us. The house was top quality, in a perfect location for beach, village and pubs. Excellent allocated parking and secure/enclosed garden area for dog (no grass) with easy access to trails to walk dog and access beach/dunes (no dogs allowed on Croyde beach May-Oct). We had a brilliant holiday and enjoyed our stay at Longboards. Our only niggles were the small bath towels provided (everything else was perfect) and perhaps the lack of loo rolls, washing up liquid and no small bin liners in bathroom bins. We would still recommend the place though and definitely use Ocean Holidays again to book. Thank you.
We have been using Ocean Cottages for a number of years and they have always been excellent.
Just had a lovely stay at Longboards. Plentiful hot water, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Excellent location and lovely and quiet.
Lots of little things let the place down. Bedding not ironed Single duvet in king size quilt No hooks anywhere for towels clothes in bedroom etc Tv not working in one bedroom Tv taken away in another bedroom Mattress in bedroom 1 looks like someone's body shape (needs replacement) Credit to cleaner , it was clean, it's the upkeep that needs sorting
A really fabulous weekend at Longboards with family. The house is lovely and kitted out to a really high spec, the hot tub was very popular each evening! Perfect location - in between the beach and the nearest pub!
Longboards was beautiful-the perfect home from home and nothing is nicer than being able to walk off the beach into a warm wet room to shower off just perfect.
We have had a lovely week's holiday at Longboards. The house is well equipped and very practical for a holiday by the beach. We loved the hot tub which was so relaxing after swimming and surfing. The kitchen is very well equipped and house is spacious.
Longboards is perfectly situated within easy walking distance of the beach and village of Croyde, so the ideal location for 2 families ranging in age from 16 to 60. The kitchen was well equipped, the decor was lovely, the hot tub was a nice extra, and the rooms were comfortable. Our only criticism was that the main bathroom shower was not really powerful enough to wash long hair, and some of our party ended up using the excellent shower in the wetroom. Having said that, we would definitely come back to Croyde, and would be very happy to stay at Longboards again.
We always stay with ocean cottages. The properties are fantastic and the service always great. We will be back!!
We have just returned from a gorgeous week at Longboards! Gorgeous accommodation, immaculately clean on arrival, very well stocked kitchen, beautiful spacious living area, massive tv, great garden furniture! Very close to village centre and beach, well stocked garage with beach equipment! Can't wait to return!! 10/10
Excellent efficient service from Ocean Cottages and Matilda the housekeeper was really helpful. As a party of eight, Longboards provided everything we needed.
Longboards is a lovely property in a really great location - minutes from both Croyde center and the beach. The bedrooms are comfortable, bathrooms clean and the living area very spacious with good cooking facilities and a great BBQ. The hot tub was a great addition for relaxing in and the wet room was also very useful after a day surfing by the beach. We would recommend this property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Longboards. The house is just a short walk from the centre of the village and the beach, which was perfect for us and our children. The hot tub is a nice addition and great for relaxing after a busy day having fun at the beach.
The location is fantastic, close to the beach and village centre.
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.
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
An absolutely beautiful home, equipped with everything we could need. Fantastic location, lovely village and hot tub was amazng. We've enjoyed it that much we've booked again next year! 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!
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.
We have had a fanstatic family holiday. House is very well equipped with wevything we needed. Surfboards and childrens wet suits were a real bonus and the hot tub was enjoyed by all! Thank you!
We had a lovely week at Longboards. House was great, had everything we wanted. Fantastic location and we had lots of sunshine. Thank you very much, the hot tub was amazing!

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.
2nd time at Longboards, love it!! Beautiful house and lovely hot tub. Lovely relaxing week - loved the beach and hot tub - many thanks indeed.
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.
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.
Croyde is a little gem & the surfing is great!
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
Very well equipped. Weather dodgy but hot tub was glorious! We will be back - thank you :-)
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.
