Croyde July 2024

Excellent location for the shops and pubs in Croyde. the house was clean and plenty of space for 4 adults and one teenager. A nice touch was a bottle of wine waiting on our arrival. The usable garage was a great help for storing surfboards and beach equipment. Communications before, during & after stay were excellent. My only recommendation would be to have another shower but this would not put us of booking again. A Great place for a great price.

Would recommend and great host

We recently stayed (August 2024) at Anchor down and it was a great house. We had an amazing stay, with Croyde on your door step and other amazing beaches it is truly one of a kind. The house has a great outdoor space at the front with grass which was good for our little kids to run around on. It also has a great decking area which gets the sun on an evening. The house is also equipped with a smart tv, Nintendo wii and ps3 which also gave the older kids (teenagers) something to do. The rooms are super spacious all with comfy beds and efficient lighting. The toilets and showers are also great/clean on arrival. The kitchen had everything you would need including a large dining area. Steve is an amazing and friendly host. He was quick to answer any questions or if we needed anything. We would totally recommend this place and wanted to say a big thanks to Steve (and his mum) for making the house really clean and providing a great house to stay in. We will return again and thanks again.

Great house!

We recently stayed for 5 days at Anchor Down, the house is spacious and well equipped and in a quiet area. We received wine and crisps as a welcome, a nice gesture. All the bedrooms are a good size and having the bathroom and a shower room upstairs, meant we weren't in each others way in the morning . The washing machine and tumble dryer are in the garage that didn't cause any issues for us but if the weather was particularly bad unlocking the garage door to access them may be a bind. There is a small washing line on the rear decking area with a few pegs, the kitchen has most equipment needed. The electric oven is an all in one so grill/oven and there is an electric hob. There is a dishwasher although we didn't use it. The dining area is really spacious with a large table to seat 8. The lounge is large with a smart tv, PS3 and a Wii. There is also a good selection of DVD's and books which is great. The heating system is easy to use. Steve the owner is very accommodating he allowed us to go into the house earlier than we expected which was a real bonus. The village of Croyde is lovely, there are many eating places to suit all, we particularly liked the Thatch. The food was really good and the service we received was superb. The beaches in the surrounding areas are outstanding, I would definitely recommend this house for it's homely relaxing feel. We vacated on a Friday, Steve said we could leave a bit later if required as there wasn't anyone arriving straight away. Great house! Superb owner.

Excellent Stay and a Brilliant Host

House was perfect for our needs and had more in the way of facilities than the listing even states. Steve was brilliant at communicating on check in and useful information on the area. Our party had all age ranges from baby, toddlers, teenagers and adults and we enjoyed a really relaxing time. Having use of the garage was a real bonus as after walking back from the beach it was great to be able to put the pushchairs and body boards in overnight so they did not clutter up the house. A bottle of wine and crisps was a lovely welcome gift and some essentials were there for use as well if we had needed them. Laundry detergent, tea bags, dishwasher tablets and much more. The location is perfect down a little road right in the heart of Croyde and literally only a minutes walk from the shop and restaurants etc. Have already been looking at dates for next year to come again! Thanks Steve for the hospitality and doing a great job of being a host. If you are a family group looking for a quiet place with good facilities right in the middle of Croyde then I would not hesitate to book this property. It is excellent value and I can not recommend it enough.

Charming place & conveniently close to amenities

Charming lil place. Close to amenities, pubs, post office, beach, dunes, etc. Didn't even have time to turn on the tele. We stayed in March, had overcast weather one day and sunny skies the next, overall got very lucky with the weather. We even got to use the backyard patio one eve, I could see enjoying this area more in warmer months. Walking distance to The Thatch which we enjoyed a couple times. Steve's Mom came to stop by to make sure we were doing well and surprised us with a sweet treat which was a hit. Lil things of convenience were very much appreciated such as the towels, milk in the fridge, etc. Thanks so much. Will definitely consider staying here in the future. Cheers, Victoria and family, Calgary, AB, Canada

Love Croyde, great house, perfect location

House was perfect for 2 families with 4 children. Spacious, well equipped, decent parking and useful garage for beach equipment. Best of all is the location right in the centre of Croyde. Could not be more perfect for shops, pubs, coffee shop and pleasant level walk to beach. We hope to return.

A very enjoyable family holiday.

Our family group ranged in age from 3 - 77; it suited us all. The house is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Good location very near the centre of the village and only 10 - 15 minutes walk to Croyde beach. Limited food shopping available in Croyde but we arranged an online delivery for the day we arrived. Steve, the owner, was only a text away and available if we had any queries, which we didn't. We enjoyed our holiday - only complaint, we only had one week.

Anchor Down - Croyde

Lovely house for large family, very well equipped with modern furniture and a huge TV in the lounge. Highly recommended. Croyde Bay. Wow. Devon at it's best. And the locals were all very friendly and always willing to help. It's such a shame the holiday ended and we had to come home. Thanks to Steve for immediate attention when we needed the hand rail on the stairs fixed. Brilliant. Ray, Frances, Anne, Ken, Sylvia, Hannah, Ruth and Zoe.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Hi, I'm Steve. I like surfing :)

Why they chose this property

Croyde is set in a beautiful location, and the village has a relaxed, friendly vibe. The local beaches are amazing, and there are endless walks and cycle routes in the area. Oh and Croyde also has some of the best surfing in the UK!

What makes this property unique

Anchor Down is right in the centre of Croyde, a sixty second walk from the famous Thatch Inn, yet set back from the high street on a leafy lane so it remains quiet, even in the busy summer months. The sandy beach at Croyde Bay is only a ten minute walk along a footpath.
