Welcome to Vale Cottage
"Welcome to our cottage here on the beautiful North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty."
Vale Cottage is a 550-year-old thatched-roof Devon longhouse, less than ten minutes' walk to the centre of the picture-postcard village of Croyde. It was traditionally built in 1470 of cob and lime render and is Grade II listed, to recognise and protect its historical significance. It has just been comprehensively but authentically renovated, in keeping with its age and character. So, it now perfectly combines 15th Century charm with 21st Century comfort and amenity.
We enjoy using Vale Cottage ourselves, making it a lot more personal, better equipped and comfortable than your average holiday rental. But we also offer the cottage as a rental for up to 10 people. Out of season, there is an option to enjoy a cheaper rate by booking just two bedrooms, both ensuite.
We take all credit & debit cards, with no additional fee. Payment is made via a secure link that we send you - we do not see your card details.
Out of Season
Come out of season for a quieter cosy weekend, with the option to use just two bedrooms
Out of season - when the kids have gone back to school, the beaches are still lovely and the restaurants and pubs are still open - is a great time to visit Croyde and explore the surrounding beaches and footpaths, just with less people around. Dogs are allowed on the beach from October to the end of April.
Summer's great fun, but a lot of our guests prefer a quieter pace.
