This three bedroom stylish split level bungalow is well-presented and furnished to a high standard throughout. You enter the cottage via a gate at the side of the building, one small step leads into an entrance hall. Turn right, and you’ll discover a light and spacious open plan living space, which consists of a lounge, dining and kitchen area. Two large sofas and an armchair, along with a flat screen TV with Freeview and a DVD player provide a comfortable lounge area to relax after enjoyable days out in the village or on the beach. A huge table within the kitchen comfortably seats 8 and is ideal for gathering everyone for family suppers.

It’s a comfortable and well-equipped house with some wear and tear, especially some issues with moisture in the home. Overall would recommend.



Excellent location and comfortable stay

A beautiful property in the heart of croyde village. Close to amenities and the beach. The property was clean and spacious with all the mod cons to make it a home from home. We have stayed here several times and will definitely be returning.

This is our 6th or 7th stay at Oyster Cove and we always have a good time but a few things need sorting.

The cleanliness on arrival is an issue, the house smelt quite unpleasant and pet hair from a previous visit was very evident.

The electric velux blind in one of the bedrooms was closed and the remote to open it was missing. After a search we called the agent who advised it was broken and remote was missing - it would have been good to have been told.

There is no recycling arrangement despite this being pretty good in the area. You see the different bags outside other houses but there is only a general waste bin at Oyster Cove. We took ours to the village which we should have to do.



Perfect location

We had a lovely week at Oyster Cove.
Garden - well maintained, dog-safe, washing line good for hanging out wetsuits.
House - some small maintenance issues (which we reported), but very clean, well equipped.

Perfect location for beaches, 5 min walk to pubs/restaurants in Croyde. Note that dogs are not allowed on Croyde beach from May to September, though there are plenty of beaches that do allow dogs.

Enjoyable week despite the mixed weather. Good location, comfortable and well equipped for five adults and two cavapoos. Appreciated the heating even in July. Some damp problems. Good secure garden for the dogs. Agents were very efficient in responding. Can recommend The Rock in Georgeham.

A lovely cottage in a good location just a few minutes walk from Croyde beach. Well placed for visiting Saunton Sands, Woolacombe, Lynmouth and Barnstable. Good enclosed garden for the dog. Well equipped but a few damp issues. Highly recommend The Rock in Georgeham for delicious meals.



We love oyster cove and we’ll definitely be back this year

The property needs some outside lights as it’s very difficult when it’s so dark
The oven needs abit of maintenance as it only seems to cook at one temperature ( very high)

Very good value for money for a large apartment. The garden was quite big for my dig to run around. Perfect location and just ten mins walk to the beach and to the centre of the village. Would definitely recommend

We always have a lovely stay but Oyster. Cove has quite a few maintenance issues that need addressing and could also do with a few more pots and pans

Stayed for a week in summer as two couples with babies.
The cottage is in a fantastic location about 10-15 minutes easy walk from the beach and right next to the heart of Croyde. Given the families had babies crawling around, the living room was remarkably easy to baby-proof, a big plus point! Bedrooms were a good size and would be perfect for families with young children to share the double bunk room. The cottage manager, Claire was very responsive when we had issues and managed to sort out most of them very quickly.
Appliances in the cottage were showing their age, with both the fridge/freezer and dishwasher due for replacement. The property allowed dogs, so we expected a little dog hair around, but there was still alot on the living room carpet even after we'd hoovered it twice! (maybe a more powerful hoover). Because the cottage was on the side of a house the two bathrooms and toilet didn't have windows, and despite having the fans on plenty and opening other windows to get airflow, it did feel a bit damp in the corridor.
Overall, we'd stay there again as it fitted our needs well.



Our 2nd visit to Oyster Cove.

This was our 2nd stay at Oyster Cove and already thinking about our 3rd stay!
It had everything we needed ( apart from the weather this time). Lovely having extra beds for our family to join us for a few nights.
Garden was great size and caught the sun in the morning by the decking outside the living room and then in the evening by the bbq area.
Perfect location only 10 min walk to beach along quiet lanes avoiding the main road.



Great week in well equipped cottage in good location in Croyde

Comfortable cottage with lovely garden in a very good location, near Croyde Village and also the beach. Had everything we needed for a large family group ranging from 84 years old to 8 months!

Overall we had a lovely holiday staying at Oyster Cove in Croyde but there were some areas that needed attention. Having had to pay a refundable damage deposit I would have thought the condition of the property would have been pristine but within a few hours we all discovered things that were broken:
1. The carpet into the lounge had worn away by the door so much that the spikes in the gripper bar were exposed. So I had to lay cardboard down to protect our feet
2. Broken toilet seat
3. Showerhead in en-suite broken
4. Lampshade in bedroom broken
There were a few other things and these were all reported as, to be fair to the cleaner, you possibly wouldn’t spot these things unless you were living in the house. Talking of the cleaner, she was very helpful in the days before our stay and managed to get us into the house well before the official time. Even better was the milk, tea, coffee and cake waiting for us. Nice touch, thanks.
The garden was lovely but we had to use the hole in the patio table as a stand for the rotary washing line as there was no hole in the ground anywhere and if you like a secluded garden you won’t get it here as the fences are only 4ft high. The view from our garden was great though as we could just about see Croyde Bay.
The property itself is a long and thin rather than square shaped so is a good layout if you have 6 or more staying as all 3 bedrooms are far apart.
The lounge diner is a nice room and opens onto the garden which was nice.
Overall we would recommend the property but would ask the owners to live in the house for a few days to appreciate the repairs that need attention and maybe identify what additions would make a stay more comfortable - such as surfaces in the bathrooms to put your toiletries.
Finally, thanks to the gardeners who, when they came in to cut the grass found out the variety of lavender that is growing by the patio and left a note. Appreciated that. Thanks.



Excellent accommodation and location in Croyde.

We were a family of 6 adults , 1 child and 1 infant and we found the accommodation excellent. The property is clean and tidy with everything you need and good sized rooms. There is one en-suite , a large family bathroom and a separate WC.
There is a good sized garden , fully enclosed for dogs and a barbecue is provided.
The location is excellent with a shortcut to the beach along a short level path.



Very nice venue close to Croyde village centre

Surprisingly spacious accommodation located 5 minutes walk from Croyde beach and shops. Well specified kitchen, comfy bedrooms and dog proof garden making this an ideal location for our short stay.
Would recommend and will look to stay there again when the surfing bug returns!
Only neutral comments would be 'dog tax' seemed a little excessive, and no negotiation for booking a shorter stay at certain times.

Hi Dan, thanks for the good review and glad you enjoyed your stay at Oyster Cove. The £30.00 for the dog covers the extra cleaning involved when dogs stay but also consider how much it would cost to put your dog in a kennel for a week? Cheers Harry
