Overall a great place to stay and visit.

Stayed at Swallows in March 2024 for a quick chill out break with the dog. A lovely relaxing place. Well maintained and presented, with all the amenities you need for a pleasant relaxing stay.
Felt cosy when rough weather prevailed and light and airy when weather was sunny and we could get out into the garden. Close with easy access to the beach and dunes at Croyde and only a few minutes drive to Staunton sands and Woolacombe. Croyde etc was the same as I remembered from visiting years ago.  Chocolate box village and accommodating. Yes, we would stay again. Probably not in high season as we would expect the area to be a little to crowded for our liking.
Overall a great place to stay and visit.

Highly recommend.

This was a great base for a week in Croyde! We come every October half term, staying in various places and would definitely stay here again. Spotlessly clean, good size, brilliantly stocked kitchen, comfy beds and the garden was perfect for our dog as it was fully enclosed. The walk to the beach is literally 5 minutes via a track at the back of the property. Highly recommend.
Thank you for hosting us and particularly for accepting my request to allow two dogs and a slightly earlier check in/later check out; this was really helpful!

A lovely welcoming holiday home

All amenities you need are available, we were especially impressed with the beach facilities provided - windbreak, deckchairs etc plus a very handy cart to transport, which doubled up as a cot on the beach for the baby !

This property was fantastic.

Well located for the beach and for Croyde, which one can walk to without going along the road. Garden is enclosed so a dog or children can't escape. Lots of good little details here. The outdoor hose and washing line for beach Equip a Fan in one room, nice shower spare body boards, chairs and trailer were much appreciated, Property was lovely and clean.  We loved our stay thank you.

We had a brilliant time in Croyde

The house is in a great location, very quiet but a short walk to the beach and also walking distance to the centre of Croyde. We traveled as a family of 5 and a little dog and the house had everything you could possibly need, enough space for everyone and very comfortable. The heating system was great, it was very cold when we arrived but it heated the whole house in no time. Very well equipped kitchen and great shower. My teenagers appreciated the good WiFi and Netflix. We'd definitely recommend and hopefully come back with better weather!
Private note
Thank you for a lovely weekend away, I want to thank in particular the person I communicated with on Friday when the weather was really bad. They were very helpful and informative and tried to accommodate a later departure to make up for the loss of one day.

Prime Location.

The Swallows is a great little holiday chalet with everything you need for a break by the sea.  The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped.  Fantastic shower for washing away the sand and plenty of beach equipment in the outside store.  Would definitely stay again.

We had such a great stay at The Swallows.

It's located within walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Croyde and a few minutes in the camper to the beach! We also enjoyed in Woolacombe which was about 15 minutes away. The property had everything we needed to self-cater and the beds were so comfy! The Christmas tree in the living room was a lovely touch that extended the boys' Christmas during our stay in December. Highly recommend.

Bright, modern, clean, well equipped, warm, perfect beach chalet. Beds are comfy, enough room for the six persons advertised. Great little place, well looked after and well located for local beaches, pubs, surfing and walking. We were impressed to have washing up liquid and very pleased to have tea and coffee - we are easily pleased! There was/is a loose tile in the bathroom that you'll probably want to see to, otherwise, excellent job. Thank you

The Swallows is perfect for a weekend trip to Croyde. The place was lovely and clean and is close to the beach with access through a gate at the bottom of the road! The only thing needed is a place to put wetsuits so that they can dry overnight. Apart from that, we had a wonderful weekend!

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Swallows.

There were lots of lovely little touches such as having lots of extra equipment in the outdoors cupboard for the beach. Having a washing machine and dryer were also very handy. We really liked the decor. The location was also great, we were very close to the beach. It was lovely and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked, although it would be helpful to have things such as dishwasher tablets provided and extra toilet rolls. The internet is also very slow and we didn't use it. Is a perfect place for groups of friends or families to stay. Would definitely recommend staying here, it was excellent value for money.

The Swallow was a beautiful holiday lodge. It's location in Croyde is perfect, a short walk to the beach and local pubs/restaurants. The lodge is immaculate, very clean and the decor is stylish and modern. It has a well equipped kitchen. The sitting area was comfortable with a great TV that has Netflix (perfect as we had our 2 teenagers with us). They also have a good selection of DVD's and board games. It has a brand new bathroom, which with a great shower and modern decor. The beds were comfortable too. Outside they have a small garden area with patio table and chairs, there is also a storage shed stocked with body boards, beach chairs and toys, everything you could need for the beach. There was also an area to hang wet suits after a day of surfing. We would definitely love to come and stay again.

Tripadvisor 5 STAR Review - " Beautiful & Relaxing"

I agree this is a hidden gem. Location, location, location! The house is cozy, super clean, well (new) decorated, stocked all essentials, and gave that "home-away from home" feeling. Access to the beach is as easy as you can get and a beautiful pathway through the dunes. The backyard is perfect for Happy Hours and sunset joy. Access to the little village is a short walk to Billy Buds, the Thatch, Blue Groove, The Manor House, ice cream, a general store, Ralph's Surf Shop for wet suits. Overall a restorative trip with a small village charm. Beautiful house and location. Thank you!

A well maintained, clean and modern park home type chalet

It has a comfy sofa, large TV, good WiFi, plenty of DVDs and games supplied for wet days. The beach is a short walk away but dogs are not allowed between May and Sept inclusive. Dogs are allowed on the beach which is a 10 minute drive south (parking charges apply). It has a secure enclosed garden and patio area for sitting out. Cooking facilities are good and the pubs in the village are a short walk and dog friendly.

Tripadvisor Review

We were lucky enough to find this hidden gem in Croyde bay and spent a glorious week enjoying the fantastic beach local walks and fantastic beer. The house is very comfortable and well cared for and great for a seaside break in an the area that has lots to do. The grass area at the front of the house is really good for a quick game of football or rounders with the kids and really safe it's like having your own playing field and it's always an adventure finding your way through the sand dunes to the beach. I recommend taking a a small bbq with you at the end of the day and watching the sun set over the sea wrapped in a jumper eating hamburgers with a Bottle of cold beer. And don't forget to jump from the sand dunes to remember what it's like being a kid.. Have fun in this great house in a wonderful location

We have been holidaying in Croyde for the last 16yrs & have stayed in some great houses, but I would say that this was the best!. The challet has been carefully & beautifully refurbished and is now presented as a clean, modern, spacious & comfortable holiday home with everything you could wish to find, we were particularly impressed with the all the items we could take to use on the beach, and they were such good quality. Swallow is In a great location, easy walk to the village and an equally easy walk to the beach, however, the garden is a wonderful sun trap for those lazy days! Swallow is as lovely as it looks on the pictures and Croyde never fails to please, we will be back again next year and will definitely be returning to this challet , this year there were just the 4 of us, but the challet can definitely accommodate 6 really comfortably, so our teenagers are already deciding which 'friend' to take with them next time!

We've just got back from an amazing week staying at the swallow. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed already. The chalet has a special, relaxed feeling that we felt on holiday straight away. It's beautifully decorated and has all the amenities we needed. The owners have thought of everything and it's really well equipped. The chalet is in a lovely location, very peaceful and a short stroll to the beach and village. We eat at the thatch and billy buds, both are lovely and serve amazing food. The village is quaint and unspoilt, with everything that you require. It's an absolute hidden gem and we're so pleased we found it. We will defiantly be coming back and would recommend it too anyone. We miss it already!!
