About this cottage rental
Refurbished over the past 3 years. Adjoined to family home (owners 17thc. Thatched Cottage), with its own private access, this spacious 'cottage-style' property is perfectly placed in the heart of the village, yet tucked away at the end of a private lane.
A stone’s throw from village shops selling tasty pasties and Devon ice creams, as well your everyday basics, post office, surf shops and hire, and just around the corner the famous Thatched Barn Inn and Billy Budd’s. Manor Cottage is minutes from the footpath to Croyde beach (easy level walk about 10 minutes), so it is ideally placed for those warm beach days, a short stroll or surfing some legendary waves. We have three great beaches on our doorstep – Croyde renowned for its surf, Putsborough more sheltered and Saunton. Manor Cottage provides the ideal base from which to explore this fabulous coastline on foot, bike, bus or even horse. It is a great spot for a long break or a quick getaway.
Manor Cottage annexe has a family-friendly layout, arranged over two floors: Accommodation is flexible and ideal for families, couples, and small groups of friends.
Upstairs - Bedroom One has a comfortable kingsize bed, Bedroom Two is a family room overlooking the mature chestnut trees and garden, and has a double bed and bunk beds. Both rooms have plenty of storage for clothes.
There are two bathrooms; upstairs the bathroom has a bath and toilet. The ground floor bathroom has a walk- in shower, large heated towel rail and toilet.
Downstairs: Well-equipped kitchen/dining area with cooker/oven/grill, microwave, dishwasher, good- sized fridge freezer, washing machine and dryer, extendable dining table for 5, as well as basic pantry items.
With its glorious view of the garden, the beamed lounge comfortably seats 5 and has a TV with Freeview/DVD player and a selection of local book club books to flick through at your leisure. Wi-Fi is available at no extra charge.
Lounge patio door leads onto a secluded and sun-filled patio, surrounded by sweet chestnut trees and summer blooms, perfect for a late breakfast or evening bbq. Patio has table and chairs and bbq (charcoal not included) just right for al fresco dining.
Beyond, is a lovely enclosed lawned garden, ideal for children to play or just to peacefully relax listening to the birds and the sea. This is a shared garden, but, large enough for guests to enjoy their own space.
Practicalities:
Parking for one car - possibly another small car (by prior arrangement), shared private car port.
Area to rinse and hang wetsuits.
Please ask about discounts on weeks out of peak season.
Out and about:
Whatever the time of year, there is always something to do!
Ideas locally:
Short journey by car to Georgeham where there are two award-winning pubs, family friendly with great food and live music.
Just minutes by car:
Putsborough beach – sheltered and ideal for swimming or messing about in rock pools. It has a great café’ for a hearty breakfast or a sneaky hot chocolate!
Closest village/town:
5 miles by car is Braunton – independent shops for gifts, supermarket for supplies, bank and a selection of local eateries and takeaway – Thai, award-winning fish and chips (Squires), or lunch at The Riverside, watching the world go by.
Plenty of walking - coastal footpath and spectacular cliff walks - Baggy Point is practically on your doorstep - why not finish your walk with a delicious cream tea at the May Cottage Tearooms. If you are looking for a little more adventure why not try rock climbing or even coasteering.
Further afield:
Trips to Lundy Island, exploring the old fishing villages of Appledore and Clovelly, theme parks – Big Sheep and Milky Way, Ilfracombe Harbour (fishing and day trips) and Verity (Damian Hurst's statue), Exmoor, RHS Rosemoor and Broomhill Sculpture Gardens. For National Trust members we have Baggy Point/beach car park and Arlington Court (about 40 minutes drive).
This is a great base from which to explore the glorious North Devon coast and countryside.

Perfect location and wonderful stay. Immaculately clean and absolutely everything that we needed. It was so well equipped. Great to have two bathrooms with teens. The view from the kitchen to the bird feeders was a wonderful bonus - even spotted a woodpecker.

We had a great couple of nights in this cosy cottage and it was perfect for our family of five. The kitchen was well equipped and we arrived to a lovely tray of cream scones and tea. It's located in the heart of the village and short walk to the wonderful pubs. We'll be back!

Perfect stay!
We had a lovely stay at Manor Cottage, perfect location as right in the village, so a very short walk to shops and restaurants. The property was well presented and clean. Very comfortable beds and a lovely garden to sit out in. We look forward to a return visit.

A very comfortable quiet cottage in a great location, with everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Paddy was lovely and on hand if we needed anything (we didn’t!) Beautiful garden which we just looked out on due to the rainy weather, but imagine it to be an idyllic spot to sit out in on warm days/evenings. Oh and in the cottage there’s an excellent selection of books to read too!

Simply perfect in every way. Incredible location tucked away in the centre of Croyde, with a short stroll to the shops, restaurants and beach. The accommodation was first class as was the attentive support from the owners who live next door. We will be back for sure.

A perfect gem
Spacious, clean and well-equipped property. Communications beforehand were excellent. Lovely welcome touches - scones, jam and clotted cream, a bunch of fresh flowers and Christmas decorations in the living room (after checking with us first!).
Beds were comfortable with a lot of storage accommodation. Two bathrooms, one with bath (upstairs) and one with shower (downstairs). A large heated towel rail in the shower room was a lovely surprise!
Location was great - less than a mile from the sea. Beautiful beaches and coastal footpaths. The weather was good enough to allow for long hikes by the sea.

Lovely short break in a cosy, quiet cottage.
This is a lovely cottage with all the facilities you need to make it a hassle free self catering holiday. (Washing machine/tumble drier/dishwasher and very good Wi-fi) Quiet, peaceful spot yet right in the heart of Croyde so close to pubs/restaurants and a short, flat walk to the lovely beach.
The friendly owners are on hand to welcome you and are easy to contact if you need anything.
We would definitely recommend Manor Cottage.

Lovely cottage, great location
A perfect cottage in the centre of Croyde, really well kept, beautiful views, loads of space, really comfy beds! Gordon the owner welcomed us and showed us around and even provided a lovely cream tea on arrival, really nice touch.
You really couldn't ask for a better location, it's a 10 minute walk Croyde beach or a 15 minute drive to Woolacombe beach.
Would definitely visit again and will be recommending it to everyone!

An ideal holiday apartment
I have stayed before but was happy to find the apartment has been re-decorated, and the facilities have yet again (judging by a previous reviewer) been improved. We were especially happy that free, but secure, wi-fi is now available.

Better than ever
We have stayed here before and was always very nice, but was pleased to see that the property had undergone recent re-decoration and improvement. We do prefer to self-cater and the kitchen improvements have made it much better for us, with new and larger fridge/freezer particulary. Also having a tumble drier will be good for drying if the weather is not so good out of season.
Thanks to Gordon for yet another great holiday.

Fantastic cottage in the centre if Croyde
We have just got back from staying at the Manor Cottage in the centre of Croyde. We all had the most amazing time and have booked two further week breaks for this year at the cottage. The cottage is located in the centre of Croyde and walking distance to the three local pubs and the local surf shops and not forgetting the beach which only takes 10 minutes to walk to from the cottage. My two girls age 15 and 13 and I have spent the week surfing and the beaches are breathtakingly beautiful and it was lovely to come back and relax in the cottage which has more than enough room to sleep 6 comfortably. The garden is beautiful and with a BBQ meant we spent a couple of nights outside enjoying the views overlooking the hills.
I would give the location and accommodation 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend this holiday cottage to any of my friends and family and cannot wait until my next visit. Nicola, Amy and Melissa.
