Fabulous
Super seemless selection and booking process. A wonderful array of variable properties to choose from with lots of different and varied facilities. Highly recommend using holidaycottages.co.uk, fabulous platform to keep track of the latest information on both property booking and local area. Great instructions for arrival, departure and duration of holiday. Utilised for a number of years now and never hesitate to return and book future trips!

Quirky cottage
Enjoyed our stay , a few improvements could be carried out and if these were done could be a hidden gem . Quiet location with great views .
It was worth downloading the app
The booking process was easy and we were provided with all of the information we need for our stay in a timely manner. The holidaycottages app also proved useful in accessing information for the property, as it also made infomation available offline. We had a positive experience with this company and would use them again in the future.
Hidden Gem
We have used Holiday Cottages to book our holidays over the last five years and have always been very happy with the service. The website is easy to use, and the communication throughout the booking process is clear and helpful.
We would fully recommend Holiday Cottages and have no hesitation in giving the site 5 stars.
★★★★★ Fantastic family stay at Moonraker, Croyde
We had a fantastic stay at Moonraker in Croyde with 4 adults and 2 children. The location is ideal, within easy walking distance of both the beach and the village, making it perfect for a family holiday.
We particularly loved the enclosed garden area, which was lovely and private and gave the children a safe space to enjoy. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the welcome pack was a fantastic touch and much appreciated.
The cleanliness was excellent throughout, and the property was well presented and comfortable. Dennis was also very thoughtful and went out of his way to call round with a cooling fan, which was a lovely personal touch and really appreciated.
Our only suggestion would be to consider upgrading the cooker, as it was very slow, but this was a minor issue and certainly didn’t detract from what was otherwise a brilliant holiday.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return to Moonraker. We would highly recommend it to families looking for a comfortable, private and well-located place to stay in Croyde.
Overall rating: 5/5

Remote. Needs better cleaning.
The surroundings are beautiful. There are many lovely things to see and do nearby. The cottage is situated in a beautiful, secluded spot, accessible only via narrow roads. When we arrived, we first vacuumed up the many cobwebs on the beams; it was clear they hadn't been looked after during the cleaning. The washing machine wasn't clean either, so we didn't use it. The weather was warm, so we enjoyed reading or having breakfast outside in the garden. The wooden chairs in the garden, accessible only from the outside, are not very comfortable to sit on for long periods.

A treat to be able to stay in such a beautiful area.
Homely and comfortable, we loved our stay.
Love the beautiful scenery
Love the beautiful scenery, the quietness and tranquillity of the area, and how close it is to the sandy beach. We were also blessed with beautiful weather during our stay, which made the experience even more special.

No faults
Easily contactable, great prices. Managed to find accommodation for 7 adults (one being 91!) two children and two infants with no problem.
Every worry was resolved quickly and we had a faultless holiday, thanks!
Gorgeous family property
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage in Haverfordwest. It’s detached, spacious, modern, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. My husband particularly appreciated the thoughtful decor with some lovely touches reflecting his interests in game and shooting.
The location is fantastic for exploring Pembrokeshire, being relatively close to some gorgeous beaches. We visited Freshwater East, Little Haven and Broad Haven South (accessed via the Lily Ponds) and had a wonderful time.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we’re already looking at booking again for next year! Highly recommended.
A sweet little chalet with a great view and amazing location.
The cottage itself was clean, well set out and in an amazing location. The views from the amazing windows were incredible. What a spot to watch the eclipse from!
However, we felt there was a lack of privacy at times. There is shared parking to the side of the house which is not made clear in the listing. Everyone staying at the glamping site walks past your cottage to get to them. It made it hard to relax on the decking. And the hot tub could do with a little more privacy too.
Overall we had a great time, but the cottage needs a couple more tweeks to itself or the listing.

Curlew Cottage
This is the perfect set up for a relaxing fishing holiday, the lake is beautiful well established with a good stock of fish. A very good array of wildlife especially the birds.
If you just want to relax and watch the world go by this place is perfect.
