Croyde, located in the picturesque region of Dorset in South West England, offers a modern and comfortable chalet bungalow that serves as an ideal vacation retreat for families or mixed friend groups. Accommodating up to four guests, including infants, this spacious property is conveniently situated halfway between the stunning Croyde Bay and the charming village, which boasts a variety of pubs, shops, and restaurants. While the home is perfect for younger visitors, it may not be suitable for elderly guests due to its layout and stairs. The property provides an oblique view of the sea from the master bedroom, enhancing the coastal experience.
The chalet features a generous lounge area that opens up to a sunny, private garden, complete with a lawn, picnic table, and seating for evening relaxation and sunset watching. The well-equipped kitchen includes a dining table, allowing for social interaction while cooking. The accommodation is designed with a maximum occupancy of four to ensure comfortable dining arrangements, catering to families with children who prefer separate rooms, couples seeking double beds, or friends desiring personal space. The master bedroom, located upstairs, includes a king-sized bed, sloping ceilings, and ample storage, while two additional ground-floor bedrooms—a single and a double—are bright, airy, and equipped with TVs and blackout blinds.
The lounge area is designed for comfort, featuring twin three-seater sofas and large patio doors that lead to a spacious garden surrounded by mature trees. Guests can enjoy superfast WiFi and on-demand TV services, including Netflix, when not taking advantage of the outdoor space. A wet room with a shower is available for those returning from beach adventures, and a family bathroom with a full-sized bath and shower is also located on the ground floor. The back garden includes a wetsuit washing and drying area, eliminating the hassle of changing in public spaces after a day at the beach. Outdoor amenities such as a BBQ and picnic table encourage al fresco dining, complemented by deck chairs for sunbathing and relaxation.
This former highly-rated bed and breakfast has successfully transitioned into a beloved holiday home, although it lacks suitable access for disabled guests and the elderly. Nearby, there is a charging station for electric cars, but charging at the property is not allowed. For those facing booking difficulties, it is recommended to use an updated computer that supports IOS 14.2. If the desired weeks are fully booked, alternative properties nearby are available, ensuring that visitors can still enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The vacation home is located near attractions such as Queen's Theatre, Arlington Court, and various family-friendly activities like Watermouth Castle and Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, making it an excellent base for exploring the area and engaging in outdoor adventures like snorkeling and rock climbing.
