Croyde Bay Holiday Resort is an excellent place for families and those who enjoy beach activities. The location right next to the beach is perfect for spending sunny days by the sea. I found the staff to be incredibly hardworking and attentive, making our stay feel welcoming. The variety and quality of food were highlights of my dining experience. However, the accommodation labeled as 'nostalgic' didn't meet our expectations and could use some updates for a better overall experience.

Our stay at the resort was quite mixed. On one hand, the location is excellent, with easy access to the beach and plenty of activities for families.

The holiday village is a lovely place for families, offering great access to the beach and a range of activities. The staff appeared to be genuinely happy and provided excellent service, contributing to a wonderful holiday atmosphere. However, some aspects, like the quality of entertainment and the pricing strategies for accommodation, could use improvement. Overall, it offers good value but leaves room for enhancements in certain areas.
