Stayed for a long weekend visiting family for a 70th Birthday. The property is in a beautiful location with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Liz and bill who manage the property were excellent, always available to answer any questions and super friendly. The property was very clean and everything was in working order. The food and drinks on arrival is a fabulous touch; kids loved the homemade brownies!!!... Anyone who is thinking about booking this property i would highly recommend. I would definitely stay again.

The house was in excellent condition it was very well equipped throughout with a welcome pack of goodies. Fantastic views with the open plan for the six of us it felt very spacious there was a large enclosed garden for the dog. The views across Braunton towards Appledore and the sunsets were great. It was a lovely place for our family and our granddaughters first holiday.

Perfect. Thank you

Thoroughly helpful and extremely quick to respond to any pre stay questions I had. Beautiful house, extremely well equipped with far more than we expected. The welcome pack was fab too. Was perfect in every way. The guest book proved that past comments had been considered- there was a full length mirror there and a finger guard on the door and the comments were only suggested the week before, just be careful on the access as the driveway is narrow but well worth it ☀️❤️ thank you

Everything was great - Very clean!

Rooftops is a lovely spacious house in a great location, perfect for a family get-together. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped for self-catering. First class in terms of cleanliness and the helpful property managers. We were also delighted to find a wonderful welcome pack waiting for us.
The access to the driveway is certainly tricky, the smaller of our three cars had no difficulties but the Nissan Leaf and Renault Scenic found it very tight to get into, so some drivers might prefer on road parking.

We had a lovely stay at Rooftops over the past few days. The space was super clean, airy, and comfortable for 4 of us plus our dog. We made full use of the terrace since we had such beautiful weather and our dog absolutely loved running around the large garden! Braunton was a lovely town and only 5 mins walk away, with Saunton Sands just down the road (a beautiful beach)! The housekeepers were super helpful during our stay too. I would recommend Rooftops to anyone. Thank you for a very special stay.

Tripadvisor Review - wonderful holiday accommodation

Wonderfully clean and equipped house for the family to get together (dogs included), large social areas inside and outside. Rooms are all lovely in decor and comfortable. Liz & Bill were very helpful (via WhatsApp) during our stay. Rooftops is in a great location, views to Appledore and walking distance to the shops. We mainly drove to Braunton Burrows & Saunton Sands for the dog walks as the beach is dog friendly all year round. Great location for sightseeing south or north of Braunton. Two out of three cars managed the driveway fine, the larger car was a bit tight but once the drivers got used to it, they managed fine, just need to take a wider angle to line up straight. Probably not suitable for low bumper cars due to the bump at the top. The only thing we noticed the circular chair was a bit uncomfortable not sure if is meant to tilt or if is broken. Or if it was something we were not used to. The dining chairs inside and outside could do with some seat cushions but we did use the many choices of cushions from the sofas.

Had a pleasant stay over Christmas 2022. The property was spotlessly clean and we found the housekeepers friendly and helpful. The accommodation is light and airy, the kitchen is large and well equipped, all bedrooms are good sizes and offer plenty of storage. We found the sitting room slightly smaller than expected and was a bit of a squeeze for all 6 of us to sit comfortably, but the sofas are super comfy and the wood burner was fab. The garden and terrace are very nice and having parking for 3 cars was great.

Well equipped property with fantastic views across Braunton, to the dunes and beyond to Appledore if it's a clear day. We were visiting family who live in Braunton and the property was in a great location for an easy walk into town. Great that it was dog friendly too - our spaniel loved the secure garden to run around in. The log burner was a huge bonus and helped when  we snuggled down after a day out.

Wonderful property, close to local amenities, beaches and attractions.

The house is dog friendly & completely dog secure with a fantastic large garden for both children & animals. The house is superbly well equipped & the owners have thought of everything you would need to make your stay comfortable & enjoyable. We hired in a hot tub which was set up on the sun deck - with the help of Rachel at Croyde Holidays (who was exceptionally helpful!). House was immaculately clean & very Covid safe.
The log burner is a fantastic asset & perfect to relax infront of to enjoy the wonderful views below. Ideal for families or couples wanting a bit more room. The kitchen has everything you need to cook & there are a handful of places that also deliver food to you.
Access to the house is down a narrow lane, we had a medium family car - if you take this steady & approach with caution this caused us no issues whatsoever.

We had a really lovely stay at Rooftops.

The information prior to arrival was helpful and accurate. I had high expectations and it didn't disappoint. Comfy beds, good pillows, nice bed linen, spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen and a lovely log burner we could use which was perfect for our wet October weekend. A short walk from good restaurants in Braunton (recommend the riverside). Perfect base for a weekend away in North Devon for my friends (group of ladies aged 30-40). I would happily stay here again.

Tripadvisor 5 STAR Review - " Perfect family home"

Rooftops is an amazingly well presented home, offering comfort and convenience for everyone. The kitchen has everything in it that you would at home - loved the Dualit Kettle and toaster! The bifold doors opening onto the patio make outside eating so easy - the deck becomes just an extension of the kitchen/diner. The upstairs bathroom has a shower and separate bath, which is deep and comfortable - always loads of hot water! The drive is fine if you approach it dead straight - have someone see you down if you are worried (we were in a BMW X3). Lots of room for parking and turning next to the house. The house keepers do a brilliant job in keeping it sparkly clean - thank you, one of the best rentals we've stayed in for a long while!

We loved the bifold doors giving loads of outdoor space.  Ideally located to visit Croyde, Woolacombe, Saunton beaches.  Fish and chips from Squires was a must, also an enjoyable meal at SQ bar and restaurant.  Room for three cars to park, bit tight down the lane but accessed with caution.  Fantastic holiday for our family of 7, would love to come back another year.  Thank you  ����

For our party, it was perfect, and we just hope we can get to stay again, amazing holiday home.

JUST PERFECT. The bedrooms, the showers, kitchen packed with everything you would ever need. Great Toy/DVD cupboard. Great garden. Ample parking. Near enough to walk to shops and restaurants. THE VIEW!!

Excellent property with great views ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Rooftops was well located with a fantastic view across this North part of Devon. The access to the property was very tricky due to the narrow driveway but once accessed did not pose a problem. The house was well equipped and nicely presented, our only comment would be the open plan design with its downstairs bedroom with bunk beds means you have to creep around if you have young children with you as we did. We loved the garden which was nice big area to play. Overall we would highly recommend this property and would come here again for a holiday.

You wont be dissapointed! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here, the place is really pleasant and comfortable and a great location! The kitchen is completely kitted out with everything you need to cook for the whole group which we used on both nights, however is a short walk away from a couple of really nice restaurants and pubs. We will definitely be returning!

Tripadvisor 3 STAR Review - " Very Comfortable"

Rooftops is a very comfortable house and very well situated for all holiday needs, however the approach access is challenging in the extreme, and judging from previous comments in the visitors book we weren't the only ones to scratch our car. There are only inches on each side as you drive down. Thank you for the wine some milk in the fridge would be useful as well. We enjoyed our holiday but certainly didn't think it was as good as it's sold.

Tripadvisor Review 5 Stars 'Great staycation location!'

My family and I spent 7 days here a couple of weeks back and had a lovely time. The apartment although not easy to find was absolutely gorgeous. Very homely and cosy - perfect for families. There were 6 adults (including myself) and one 9 month old who all had an amazing holiday, although the glorious weather probably helped I would not say no to this holiday home even in terrible weather. The holiday home is around a 5 minute walk from Braunton town so is within easy walking distance; this will save you taking your car out from the very narrow driveway if you’re just going in to town. There were 4 bedrooms (so plenty of space) and two upstairs of which had amazing views looking out. There were 2 bathrooms both fitted with rainfall type showers which again was amazing. There was a lovely suntrap of a balcony overlooking the rather large garden where we spent some time. The only thing I would stress is to be very careful when going down the driveway as it is very narrow but the owners do explain this to everyone before you stay here. Just so you get an idea of commodities there’s plenty of places to eat in town but also a co-op food store in town and a Tesco just a 5 minute drive away so there’s plenty of places to get supplies from as and when you need them. For most things you will need to drive out of Braunton but there’s some lovely towns nearby. Overall the apartment was amazing and we all had a lovely time - it’s a shame that the hot tub wasn’t available in the summer as that would have been a nice little extra but I can’t really fault the experience of our family staycation. Thank you.

Lovely family holiday and celebration of 2 birthdays

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ We loved the location and the property was a lovely place for us all to be together and enjoy the space and the calmness of rooftops. We all enjoyed the weather, sea and the family friendly beaches. Nice place to explore and a short walk into Braunton to pootle round the shops have a cuppa and let the children play on the park. A fantastic week was had by all helped especially by the warm and sunny weather. The house had everything that we needed and was enjoyed by all. Lovely days spent by the sea at Woolacombe, Croyde (Baggy Point National Trust). We’ve enjoyed spending time in the garden and watching the sun going down on the patio. We would definitely return.

Finished to a high standard, clean, tidy, everything we needed & homely!

Easy to contact & prompt with emails. The property was spotless! Very well organised & the property manager was very helpful!! Brilliant stay. Very clean, great homely feel & spacious! Beautiful views. The house was beautiful and exactly as pictured on the site. Spotlessly clean and the décor was to a high spec. Loved the log burner although it wasn’t cold enough to need it but it had to be done! It was our daughter’s 6th birthday whilst we were here and the added touch of card and birthday banners was lovely. The views were lovely and sunset watching is recommended. Saunton Sands is so lovely, must visit! Local walks are good, kids park not far. Great weather for early November. We had the doors open and carved pumpkins! The only thing we can suggest to make “Rooftops” 100% complete would be a hot tub on the decking. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful property with fantastic view!

Really loved the house. Loved the area, went for walks every day. So many walks could and should have been done – so we will be back . We liked the views, the woodburner, the well-equipped kitchen. Great place for a couple or for families – both works! Went to Noel Corston’s restaurant as a treat for our anniversary – loved it. Really enjoyed our stay!

Would definitely recommend and hope to return soon.

Rooftops is a spacious, well maintained house that is in a great location for exploring North Devon. Lots of 'little touches' that made us feel welcome and helped to enhance our stay. The garden is perfect for dogs and there is plenty of space for games and eating al fresco.

The cottage was beautiful and ideally located

Rooftops is stunning. The views were lovely and we were blessed with sunny weather which made it all lovely too. The property is very well equipped and we loved staying in it. Braunton was lovely too - we had some great days out and once down the lane, really enjoyed staying in Rooftops

Lots to explore, great central location. Aggie steak nights was great and made the dog welcome. Had a great bike ride along the Tarka Trail - Hired bikes from a friendly shop in the village. Also recommend the Ultimate adventure course (near Westward Ho!) for a great day out for all the family. Susan Walsh

So clean and fresh! I would definitely recommend. Couldn't have asked for more. Excellent house to stay in. Ideal location for a few restaurants, and short drive to the min beaches. The house was immaculate. Liz Wheatley

Star RatingStar RatingStar RatingStar RatingStar Rating Everyone loved the upstairs balcony and cuddle chair was the best seat in the house. (1st coffee in the morning and last glass of wine enjoyed here every night!!!) Quite a houseful but what a setting- Couldnt of asked for more!! Perfect setting/base for exploring, Penny enjoyed Saunton Sands and walks at Mortehoe. Good family meal at The Aggi (Just down the steps) But the best night out was at the Custom House in Barnstaple. We will definitely be back! Marsha Brown and Family

Delightful place to return to in the evening and review the day over the sunloungers on the patio. A happy and busy weekend, thank you again for your cheerful and generous hospitality. Joanna and Michael

Lovely views for watching the sun, rain and hail ! Good park nearby for children along with one amazing garden for Easter egg hunts. Overall brilliant, many thanks. Groombridges & Gibbs

Well equip and very clean we will definitely be returning. Driveway is a little narrow but don't let this put you off!! It's manageable. Carie Ann  Mitchell

Star RatingStar RatingStar RatingStar RatingStar Rating One of the nicest, cleanest and suitably appointed properties we have stayed in.  The garden was fabulous for the dog, the bi-fold doors allowed you to really make the most of the gorgeous weather and it seemed as though every last detail had been considered... The outside shower, kitchen accessorized with quality equipment and good quality Neff oven and hob, not to mention the fabulous skylight in the master bedroom and viewing deck in the second bedroom upstairs. We look forward to coming again. Michael

Star RatingStar RatingStar RatingStar RatingStar Rating Croyde Holidays were really prompt and answered all questions pertaining to my potential booking. The house was in perfect order and was large enough for our family of 8 adults. This house is also a perfect pet-friendly choice. The garden is secure and the flooring means that it can be kept easily clean. Wonderfully light and pristine. The woodburner is also a lovely luxury after a robust walk on one of the many beaches close by. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook. Joanne Norman
