Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Croyde Bay Hotel is commonly appreciated for its family-friendly atmosphere and convenient location near Croyde beach, accessible via a short walk. Guests often enjoy the on-site facilities, including the swimming pool, tennis courts, and crazy golf. The breakfast selection, particularly the hash browns, receives positive mentions, and parking is readily available; some guests, however, have found the beach access involving sand dunes a bit challenging. The hotel also boasts clean accommodations and, in some rooms, large fridges.

The room was not as clean as I expected. There was dust on surfaces and I found some hairs in the bathroom. The bed felt quite hard and I did not sleep well. The mattress was not very comfortable. the limited choice at dinner was a letdown, I expected more variety!

I found excellent sports facilities. a lovely tennis hardcourt was available, though i wished i brought better rackets. the hotel rooms were spacious and clean. breakfast offered good quality food. The staff were friendly and helpful.
During my visit, i noticed linens and blankets did not seem changed. They felt reused. the mattresses were uncomfortable. this impacted the value for money. I might try a lodge next time.
