Kingsley

A private gate onto Croyde Beach puts Kingsley close to the sand. This ground-floor apartment sleeps two, with views across the bay towards Hartland Point from the living and dining space. A bench on the private patio gives you somewhere to sit outside, while the adjoining lawn has further benches overlooking the beach.

The bedroom has a super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be arranged as twins on request. Ask for that arrangement when booking if you need separate beds. There is one bathroom, fitted with a bath, an overhead shower and a WC. The dining table seats four, although the apartment's stated guest capacity is two.

An electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer cover cooking, with a dishwasher and washing machine in the kitchen. Sofas face the Smart TV in the open-plan lounge. The apartment has on-site parking, and dogs are not accepted. Arrival is from 4pm, with departure before 10am.

Croyde village has shops and pubs within walking distance of the property. The South West Coast Path is close by for days spent walking beyond the bay. Georgeham is two miles away and Braunton five miles, giving you further places to eat when you leave the car parked for most of the day.
