Fabulous week
Great house that was very practical for 2 families to share as
the layout for food and mooching around was perfect! Close to the
shops and great location for the beach. Really loved it.

Great Location
Love the property and the view. Such a great location for a
car-less holiday if you choose. Two good meals at The Thatch and
the kids enjoyed surfing lessons with Surf South West. Despite the
mixed weather- a great week!

Perfect restful break
Just returned from a fabulous week at Pebbles Rest. Beautiful
home to cater for 3 generations of our family. Hot tub was used and
enjoyed every day. Sadly the usual housekeeper was unavailable but
Ocean Cottages answered all our queries promptly. Can highly
recommend.

Fabulous House
Lovely family holiday with 3 generations of our family. Mixed
weather but never changes our love of Croyde - we have been coming
for years. Excellent meal at The Rock, Georgeham. Fabulous house
for us all to be together. Lovely spot and handy for
everything.

We enjoyed our stay, we have been finding crabs and making sand
villages and castle on the beach. Lovely house with all we needed.
We love Croyde and will be back.

Great service, lovely cottages
I have used Ocean cottages for a number of years and they are
always of a really high standard. The service provided by Ocean
cottages themselves is superb. Someone is always on hand, whatever
time of day to answer any queries or deal with any problems. I
wouldn't book through anyone else.

An excellent facility despite the squeaky floor!
The only difficulty that we encountered was setting the central heating control system. This was due to a combination of there being a control unit of the type none of us had seen before, and the lack of any brochure/handbook giving instructions on how to use it. Thank goodness for the most efficient log burner ever!
Other than that, and the squeaky floor, we had a great holiday, we’ll be back!!

A nice place to stay
Mostly a lovely place, great location for walking to the beach, so sorry to mention these niggles.
Most of the lights didn't work when we arrived. We found the fusebox and reset an RCD that had tripped, which got most of the lights back, though there were still six bulbs that didn't work. The RCD tripped again later in the week so I think you should get a professional electrician to check the circuit. Maybe the cleaners could check that all lights were working eg in fridge, cooker hood.
The cooker (oven and hob) took longer to cook food than would be expected. Getting pots to boil on the hob took a long time.

Super large family cottage
Pebbles Rest was a great holiday cottage for our large family.
The open plan and range of downstairs and upstairs bedrooms perfect .
Hot tub lovely and super views down the valley
Just a few niggles- the oven hob proved very difficult to fathom without any instructions and even after a call to the housekeeper only one of us managed to work it- so some laminated instructions would help!
The Ineternet connection was a real bugbear even with an extension net it proved unreliable and very slow- with 3 teenage to adult youngsters using their Iphones and streaming it became quite an issue. The connection was in front bedroom and so really needs more than a plug in extension in the kitchen- in todays world this is an issue for a large family and needs resiting .
The toilet seat in main bathroom was rather loose and although not an issue for us needs fixing before it breaks
Other than this we loved it and would reccomend it

A beautiful, well equipped house
My 3 friends and I spent a very enjoyable week at Pebbles Rest.
The property is very spacious and extremely well equipped and the
beds are really comfortable. The hot tub is an added bonus. The
situation of the house makes it ideal for seeing the beautiful
area. There are gorgeous beaches locally, Croyde beach being within
walking distance. Croyde village is lovely, with lots of places to
eat or enjoy a coffee. All in all a lovely holiday. Thank you!!

We had the wow factor when we first walked in. We had everything
and more that we needed. So peaceful and the beach was very easily
accessible so much so we were there every evening for the sunset.
Loved it so much we have booked again for next year. X

Fabulous!!
Pebbles Rest is a lovely, modern cottage with all the amenities
that you need. It is in a perfect location, close to the village
centre and an easy walk to the beach. The enclosed garden was great
for our dogs and had lovely, open views over the village and
countryside beyond. Croyde itself has a few pubs, shops & the
most delicious tea rooms and is set between Woolacombe &
Saunton which both have fabulous, huge beaches and are within
walking distance. We loved our holiday here and will definitely
visit again.

Superb property in a truly wonderful location
Would highly recommend Pebbles Rest for a wonderful holiday
stay. Spotlessly clean, well equiped and very comfortable. Quiet
location with everything you need in the centre. We had fish and
chips from the campsite opposite - they were delicious. Wonderful
pizza from Stoned outdoor pizza oven & a delightful cream tea
from Blue Groove is of course daily ice cream from Aunt Sally's.
Sunsets, surfing. Walks & hours on the beach - perfect holiday
in every way - 5 star

A perfect place to relax and unwind
This was our second stay at Pebbles Rest and we had a wonderful,
relaxing time! We felt very safe, despite the current COVID-19
pandemic. The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped for self
catering, with plenty of crockery, pans and large dishes for
cooking family meals. The second fridge freezer is so useful,
meaning less time shopping and more time at the beach or in the
lovely hot tub! During our stay, we walked to both Staunton Sands
and Puttsborough beaches and the views were absolutely
breathtaking! Great house and lovely, thoughtful owners - it's a
fabulous place to stay!

A lovely week here!
We enjoyed a lovely week here, despite storm Denis. We managed
to dodge the rain and get out and enjoy local walks and pubs.
Pebbles Rest was a perfect property for two families to get
together and have fun, the hot tub was very popular and so were the
puzzles. We would all love to come back again and perhaps order
additional sunshine! Recommend the Thatch, the Stores, Billy Buds,
the Manor House, also the walk on (page 126 of "secret
beaches" in the basket on the dresser)

family and there was plenty of room for us all. The hot tub was a
great hit with us all. Weve had lovely walks along the beach and to
Baggy Point, and great times at the Thatch, Blue Groove and the
Stores!
Recommend a vist to Kings Alms and The Rock Inn at Georgeham for
great food!

Lovely place to stay
This was a lovely house in a perfect location. Very clean and
well presented with a lovely view over the valley. Had every
amenity you needed in the cupboards, comfortable furnishings and
really enjoyed the hot tub! I've never been to Croyde before and it
was a town with everything you needed without commercialism. A
couple of pubs, places to eat, a deli, a post office, ice cream
parlour, takeaway pizza, and a couple of surfy gift shops. There
was also a craft market on twice while we were there ?Saturday and
Wednesday. We took our dogs and the beaches were dog friendly
(except Croyde Bay) and amazingly clean. We walked for hours in the
surf and sand dunes.

We found the house to be very comfortable & spacious. The
hot tub was a hit! It was perfect for all our needs! We
were extremely greatful for the lovely treat of milk, biscuits
& cake on arrival! We had a fantastic time in Croyde -
the beach walks, the local park and shops were perfect for all 3
generations of our family group. We also had a lovely day
hir9ing bikes and cycling part of the Tarka trail from Braunton to
Instow (and back). We are sad to have to go home and would
love to come back!

3 generations of family came to celebrate a special birthday and have had a fantastic time.
The house had everything we needed for a relaxing time. A short walk to the beach and had lots of laughs over the dunes.

We have just had the most AMAZING 2 weeks here at Pebbles Rest!
We were here to celebrate our wedding on the 25th with our children. family and friends. The sun shone and we will never forget making my vows in Downend Field. Our 3 kids and us are now hooked on surfing and the bodyboards stayed at the cottage. The office and owners have been amazing - replacing a broken kettle and providing batteries. Thank you so much and I am sure we will be back - all very sad to be heading home but we've memories to last a lifetime.

Beautifully presented house.
Great location. Modern, clean and well equipped. Hot tub was fantastic, and outdoor shower was good after a day at the beach.
Highly recommend this house.
Only negative is that it is quite noisy at night when trying to sleep due to close proximity to centre of Croyde and main road.
AGENCY COMMENTS: Thank you very much for the glowing review, we are so pleased to hear that you recommend it so highly! We have never received any comments regarding the traffic noise before, and are therefore surprised to read your comments. Thankfully we have been treated to some wonderful weather in that last few months, and as a result, I imagine the majority of the windows were open during the night. We do apologise if this caused you an issue. As you know the property is set back from the road with an access lane between the property and the main thoroughfare.

The Best House
We have been coming to Croyde for many years and this has been the best house we have stayed in!
Really well equipped, lovely bedrooms and space and all that is needed after a hard days surfing. Especially the hot tub and resident robin that visited us every day to say hello. We will be definitely coming back to stay.

Just right for a family/friends gathering
This light, airy, clean and spacious dormer bungalow was ideal
for the week-long family gathering we used it for. The garden is
modest but safe for small children and pets. The hot tub was
delightful and added a relaxing element to the whole stay -
especially when it rained! The kitchen was well equipped and an
unexpected birthday cake baked with everything needed present. The
location was ideal - close to the beach and a couple of hundred
yards to the centre of the village.
It is hard to criticise any aspect - recommended.

Open and airy house with all the facilities on hand
This was an ideal house for an extended family holiday - three generations including a one-year old. The house was well presented, clean, and well equipped. There wasn't anything we felt was missing, and even enjoyed the jigsaws which were left in the cottage. Parking was a little tight for four cars, but not a problem. We had an excellent week.

Pebbles Rest has been perfect for us
We've been coming to Croyde for a number of years and as our families have grown we needed to find a place to stay that had space for toddlers, teenagers and tired parents in need of a rest!
Pebbles Rest has been perfect for us providing everything we could need and more. We've loved the space, sky light and hot tub and would definitely recommend this fantastic house as a great place to stay in Croyde. We hope to be back again soon.

The house works really well and you are not 'on top of each other'
We stayed at Pebbles Rest over the New Year week. It had a Christmas theme which was great because it was our Christmas as a family. All 10 of us including 2 children were very well accommodated for. The house works really well and you are not 'on top of each other'
The house was extremely well stocked with everything needed and extremely comfortable. As a result of our week there I am buying a new mattress as the bed was so comfortable! The hot tub was brilliant - the weather wasn't good but the hot tub and great surroundings meant that didn't matter.
Had an amazing week and would fully recommend to any large family, any time of year.

Great location, a one minute walk to the pub and shops
Great location, a one minute walk to the pub and shops in the centre of the village. Only a few places to eat of an evening and it can get busy but we'll worth it. The cottage is an extended bungalow. Sounds small. Don't be fooled. It's enormous. Five bedrooms...a large living dining, all you could want to entertain if it rains, games, SKY, games console. It's near to the beach, about 6 minute walk. If you walk through the chalet site you emerge at the amenity end of the beach where the cafe, toilets etc are. I would recommend this place to all. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and you certainly do here.

A relaxing, clean, practical holiday house
Pebble's rest is in a great location within Croyde and offers a deceptively large and well set up house for families. We went in February with 2 other families and had a fantastic stay. The house was lovely and warm and clean and offered great respite after long walks/surfing. There is plenty of space for different groups but a large enough area to all come together for meals and in the living area. We hope to return soon!
