Greenfields Cottage, situated in the picturesque village of Croyde, Devon, is a charming retreat that can comfortably accommodate six guests. This historical cottage, once the workshop of local carpenter William Budd in the 18th century, offers a unique connection to the village's heritage, with the nearby pub named Billy Budds as a nod to its storied past. The cottage is conveniently located just a short walk from Croyde beach, accessible via a traffic-free footpath, making it an ideal spot for beachgoers and surfers alike. Parking is available for one car in a private lot, with additional options in a larger village car park for a small fee.
The interior of Greenfields Cottage features a welcoming open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, enhanced by underfloor heating for added comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, hob, fridge freezer, and washing machine. Guests can relax on comfortable sofas, one of which converts into a king-size sofa bed, while enjoying meals at the dining table that seats six. A convenient downstairs toilet and wash basin add to the functionality of the space, making it perfect for families or groups.
Upstairs, the cottage offers three cozy bedrooms: a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and chest of drawers, a second bedroom with two single beds and access to a private courtyard, and a third bedroom featuring bunk beds. The family bathroom includes a heated towel rail and a shower over the bath, while an extra-large cupboard on the landing provides ample storage. Outside, guests can enjoy a sunny courtyard equipped with seating for six and a BBQ, along with an outdoor wetroom for rinsing off after a day of surfing.
Croyde itself is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and excellent surfing conditions, considered one of the best surf breaks in the UK. The village offers a variety of dining options, including local food trucks for casual beach picnics.
