"We had a lovely time at Westbeach holidays. Yes there is a derelict building next to you but doesn’t affect your stay. The apartment was clean lovely and spacious for what we needed. Westward Ho! Is a lovely town with all the amenities you need on holiday. Beach was amazing. All we could have done with is a broom so we could clean some of the sand and dog hair up in the week. But otherwise had a lovely time.would defo be coming back."

Croyde Bay Holiday Resort

Croyde Bay Holiday Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely fantastic stay at Croyde, the staff and facilities were excellent. There were so many activities available, with no fuss at all, everything was laid out already e.g. mini golf, table tennis, badminton and many more. Despite being August and fully booked, nothing felt too busy; the pool was relatively quiet both times we used it. The only possible fault I could find, is the lack of Air Con in the hotel room, but that was reflected in the price and there was also a fan provided in the room."

"It was a great stay, nice facilities and amazing staff. The only reason I wouldn't say 5 is: - check in was delayed by an hour or so. - there was no spatula. - the hob fan and light didn't work - the microwave defrost was more like full power. - I didn't know what to do with the bins. Maybe I missed this somewhere. Would stay again"
