Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It was a pleasure hosting you, thanks for taking such wonderful care of our home. I am really glad you had a good stay with us. :-)
This is a great property. Spacious, well situated and includes everything required by a large family group. Hosts are great, easily contactable and would highly recommend visiting. We hope to return sometime in the future.
Lovely property and a great owner. Brilliant base for a holiday access to great beaches within walking distance and if you are into surfing then some great places a short drive away. Property has awesome views and on a clear day you can even see the sea!
The house was lovely and spacious, apart from the snug, which was a little snug, we had 3 adults and 2 children under 10 and is was a tight for for us all to watch a film comfortable together. The rest of the house had ample space. Especially the bedroom with the en-suite. Our girls loved the bunk beds, with the chalk board on the wall, a few things i would have like more of that was frying pan and more cupboard space in the kitchen for food,
Jemma, Ben and Jemma’s mum were all lovely.
Thank you for letting share your lovely home 😀🏖😎
We had a fantastic stay in this great family home. It was well presented and worked well practically for all our needs with enough space and beautiful views.
The owners were so helpful and around for any questions we had. The house is in a quiet village with a great local shop and only a mile or so from Bude and Widemouth beaches. We loved our stay and felt very lucky to find this wonderful house for our much anticipated holiday this year.
A great house in a brilliant location - kitchen has been very tastefully converted to make the most of the beautiful views over fields towards the sea, and the sunsets from the decking were wonderful. Jenna was a responsive, helpful and friendly host - we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely spacious cottage in a great location short drive from beaches and shops
We had a fabulous week at Croft Cottage. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 children. We spent most of our time in the open plan kitchen which is a great space with outside decking and stunning views. The beds were very comfy and we all slept like babies!
Lovely local produce on arrival which was really appreciated and delicious.
Jemma and Ben are fabulous hosts who met us on arrival with their children, and the communication before during and after was exceptional.
