Dingle Dell is a charming cottage tucked away in the heart of Croyde, Devon.
Suited for families and friends this single-storey abode is nestled in an area well known for its surf culture and unforgettable sunsets, boasting enclosed gardens and proximity to the beach and Exmoor National Park.
Pull into the designated parking and step into the enclosed front garden, where there is space to pause, unload the car, and immediately feel settled in one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal villages.
From the entrance, a small step leads up into the open-plan living space, which feels bright and spacious the moment you enter.
Light reflects across the wooden flooring as you move through the room, with the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas flowing together to create a sociable hub for the day.
A corner sofa sits ready for relaxed evenings, perfectly positioned beneath a mounted TV, while a sloped wooden ceiling tucked into one corner adds character and warmth without overpowering the space.
It is easy to imagine kicking off sandy shoes, dropping bags, and settling down after a day spent outdoors.
The kitchen is finished with sleek white fixtures that keep the space feeling fresh and uncluttered, with the wooden flooring continuing underfoot as you move between preparing meals and setting the table.
Mornings begin here with coffee brewing and breakfast laid out before heading to the beach, while evenings invite easy suppers shared together as the light fades outside.
The bedrooms are all on one level, continuing the straightforward layout of the cottage.
The double bedroom is bright and welcoming, offering a calm place to unwind at the end of the day.
The bunk room is also filled with natural light, making it an ideal space for younger guests to settle into after busy days exploring.
The single bedroom is light and airy, with a pull-out bed beneath, giving flexible sleeping arrangements without compromising on space or comfort.
The shower room is particularly well thought out for coastal stays.
Finished in soft blue hues, it features a spacious walk-in shower and practical hooks for wetsuits and beachwear.
A door leads directly outside, making it easy to come in this way after surfing or swimming, rinse off sandy gear, and head straight into the cottage without trailing the beach behind you.
To the rear of the property, doors open out to a small, decked, enclosed garden, creating a private outdoor spot to enjoy a drink after the beach, sit with a book, or watch the sky change colour as the sun sets.
With the sea air drifting through and the village close by, this space feels like a natural extension of the living area.
A pub can be reached on foot for an easy meal out, with the beach also within walking distance for spontaneous surf sessions and evening shoreline strolls, while shops are close enough to pick up essentials without needing the car.
Croyde is renowned for its surf scene and golden-hour views, making it a favourite with beach lovers year after year.
Exmoor National Park lies within easy reach, offering wide open landscapes, dramatic coastal paths, and long walks that reward you with far-reaching views and a real sense of space.
Woolacombe is another highlight nearby, where a sweeping beach invites long walks by the water, rolling waves draw surfers in, and clifftop viewpoints frame some of the area’s most memorable sunsets.
Saunton Sands offers a different coastal feel, with expansive sands backed by dunes, space to roam at your own pace, and an open, breezy atmosphere that makes every visit feel unrushed.
