Testimonials
We love to hear from our guests and have put together this useful testimonials page with helpful comments from those who have already enjoyed a holiday at Oyster Cove.
We have had a lovely time here in Croyde because the house was very cosy and the weather was brilliant! There was loads to do and we always came home to popcorn and films. The beds were very comfy, and there was very nice facilities. Living across from the sea and beach means we could walk there. Overall this was a brilliant stay.

Back in Woolacombe again but this time we had a lovely apartment. Fantastic week, weather good and lots of delicious scones! Will never stay in a caravan again! Enjoyed visits to Croyde, Barnstaple, Wildlife and Dinosaur Park in Combe Martin and Bude. Now sadly we are off home via Porlock where we bought a wall hanging on the way here so new we need to collect it! We may stop at other place along the way so we can delay going home! Thank you very much for making our stay most enjoyable. We'll definitely be back as my son (6) looks cool in his wetsuit and now loves body boarding!
August 2012: The Lowe Family – Leigh, Lancashire
I love Croyde and it’s amazing beach with its enormous waves. It’s probably the best beach I have ever been to.
The bunk-bed room was snug and dark enough to sleep in. I like the garden because there was enough space to run around in. I feel sad to leave, no matter how many weeks you get it never seems enough. Thanks.
August 2011: Daisy Powells, aged 10 - Leeds
Regular visitors to Croyde but our first stay at Oyster Cove: great accommodation for our party of four adults and two children. Despite the midweek drizzle we were able to enjoy a BBQ on the raised patio as the sunset on our final evening; a lovely way to end the week.
August 2011: The Harveys – Essex
We had a wonderful week! We absolutely loved Croyde and all the villages around it! We had a chance to see the incredible beaches in the area and couldn’t believe how beautiful they are. It was the first time in this part of England and now don’t understand why! We were very comfortable in the cottage and the children loved the bunk-beds. All in all a success holiday. Thank you very much!

A great week our 4 year old doesn’t want to go home – the house has been fantastic. We totally recommend hiring bikes etc from “Otter Cycles” in Braunton and cycling the Tarka Trail. Putsburough beach is a must.
