Northumbrian Holiday
Clear and prompt instructions to get to the property and essential info like check in/ check out times. Property as advertised online so no surprises. Had a lovely time!

Fantastic location in a quiet area but just 3 minutes walk to the centre of Tenby. Very comfortable well-equipped accommodation with a slightly strange lay out. Loads to to in Tenby and fabulous beaches.

Very accommodating
Very accommodating, friendly helpful staff. The accommodation was just what we needed and as described
Perfect place to stay in Looe!
The apartment was just as described in the website and it was in a great position with a lovely view.
Easy to book
We've used holiday cottages in the past and always found the property details to be very accurate and the booking process very easy to use.
Perfect Holiday Getaway
The Cottage was in the perfect setting with every opportunity provided for a comfortable holiday; it was spotlessly clean, fully stocked and Sarah and Phil were the perfect hosts and left the most generous of welcome boxes. Our family, three of whom were young teenagers, really enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and watching films on the outdoor 'cinema'. Not sure words or photos would do justice to the overall holiday experience, the Hosts provide.

It was a lovely stay
It was a lovely stay. The greenery was overgrown so the view you see on the pictures was not the view we had unfortunately. But nonetheless it was peaceful and cosy. There was a few things that weren’t great as for example the sanitary bin was not changed for our arrival so this wasn’t great. We were told there was no fridge/freezer here even after asking customer services so we went and bought a mini fridge and cook box, to find when we entered the property there was in fact a fridge/freezer so we wasted unnecessary money in doing so, so this needs to be noted. Other than that it is a beautiful place!
Great little property
Great little property - welcome pack included treats for the dogs too!
Enclosed courtyard garden.
Big bathroom.
Sofa could do with being larger.
Noise from road can be annoying.
Location good if happy to use a car to travel as walking next to the busy road not recommended with dogs or children.
Disappointed
We have used many booking agents for holiday cottages in the UK. This was the first time we had used Holiday Cottages. The property that we booked had many positive reviews from when we booked up to the date of our stay. As a consequence we were looking forward to our stay. However the property turned out to be disappointing and not as advertised in the description on their website and app. The only direct contact we had with Holiday Cottages was when we called them on our second day to notify that we had suffered a loss of water due to a burst water main. We contacted them because their published advice is to notify them as soon as possible if there is a major issue. While there was little they could do we found the response from their adviser to lack empathy and we were told to resolve any issues with the owners. At the end of our stay we made a formal complaint to Holiday Cottages concerning the misleading description of the property but after several days we have yet to receive even an acknowledgment from them. We have provided constructive feedback on our experience and a factual balanced review of the property on the Holiday Cottages website that has yet to be published.
Holiday was fantastic
Holiday was fantastic, everything was as described, location was what we asked for, booking was quick and easy, will definitely use again
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!

Fantastic place to stay.
Clean and very well equipped.
Short walk to the river .
Two pubs , small shop and garage excellent fish and chip shop.
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
A peaceful holiday
