Fantastic design and layout. Very comfortable with everything provided. Great location. Care needed on some local roads. We'd like to see the garden made more secure. We had 2 inquisitive dogs which caused a few headaches; they had to be kept on leads so they wouldn't wander off.

Croyde is lovely and it was great to explore the surrounding area. The property is in a secluded spot accessed by narrow country lanes. Whilst it may be good value for the area it fell short in a number of areas that could have made it great. The property needed a good dust and the garden was quite overgrown. It is also lacking in some of the basicRead mores - wine glasses, cooking utensils, very small dining table that made it feel more 3* unfortunately. Hide

Glad we chose Forda Lodge, loved the spacious interior all on one level, comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. Peaceful setting too if only wed had kinder weather! Only thing Id say is our small spaniel was able to easily get under the fence to the neighbouring property, especially given there was the temptation of pheasants. So a bit of meshRead more fencing along the bottom would quite easily resolve that. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Forda Lodge. The property was just as described although if you dont like narrow, winding roads then this might not be for you but I think its pretty typical of Devon in general. The host left lots of goodies which was a wonderful surprise, especially the wine which went down a treat.
