We stopped at St Crispins the 1st week in October and what a surprise we had.
On arrival we were very impressed, My partner was bowled over by the 3D views.
When we did manage to come away from the window we found the rest of St Crispins just as impressive, plenty of room and very well stocked for self catering, which included a Playstation with Plasma TV and BT Infinity superfast Broadband...WOW.
Lovely big showers and a large bath all of which are new.
Combe Martin is a place I've never been before so I didn't know what to expect but, it was like going back in time with just a few shops for the essentials and a very friendly Fish & Chip shop called the Black & White just 5 mins walk away.
Lovely beech with awards and very clean see through water, you can see fish swimming if you look in the pools left by the tide.
Also I must mention Combe Martin has one of the quickest and highest Tides so the views changed every 6 hours which was lovely to watch.
The only down side were the windows needed to be cleaned but, that was the only negative and my partner was more than happy to clean them (he needs the exercise anyway lol), that was all we could find wrong which I think is pretty good.
The road up to the place is tight and steep but we managed fine with a medium size car, I saw a Land rover Defender going up there so that gives you a guide.
I think St Crispins is Family owned which means your dealing direct and makes the transaction very simple, plus it cut's out any of the hassle from Agents.
My most enjoyable experiences were dining in the window watching the tide and picture post card buildings over the bay at dusk, walking on the beech and exploring the caves in the cliffs under St Crispins.
To sum up-
Stunning is the only word I can use to describe St Crispins.
Lovely views.
Very well equipped for cooking and entertainment etc
Spacious.
Parking for 2 cars.
Nicely furnished.
Dinning in the windows.
I only hope Alix will allow us to return sometime.
Thanks for a well needed break you made our year xx

When we arrived at St Crispins we were very impressed by the house and felt that the owners had gone out of their way to make guests feel welcome and at home. The views overlooking the bay were stunning, with the scenery changing all the time depending on the tide, weather and time of day (some magnificent sunsets!).
The owners provided much more than is usual with rented accommodation. We were surprised to see complimentary tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. There were also washing machine and dishwasher tablets. Some of the cupboards also had store cupboard products such as cooking oil etc.
The younger members of our party (21 - 23 years old!) enjoyed playing on the Playstation and using the wifi. We also enjoyed playing the board games and completing the jigsaws.
There was plenty of information on places to visit and activities to do in the area. I also found the OS map invaluable especially when we found ourselves lost on a scarey coastal path!

1 review The cottage has all the creature comforts you could wish for - a home from home. The rooms are spacious and clean. The cottage is also in an excellent location with a fantastic view of the beach and sea. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing holiday with great accommodation - look no further.

The bungalow is in a quiet location and is approached up a narrow steep road which can be tricky if you drive a large car. The interior of the property is very modern and comfortable and a "home from home" with every facility you may need. The kitchen is clean and very well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. The living room and kitchen areas have hard floor surfaces which are ideal for keeping clean, particularly if you have your beloved family dog on holiday with you. There is an outside tap which is handy to wash sand from dog's paws and family members feet before entering the property following time spent on the beach and rock pooling. The beach is just a short walk away and there is a panoramic view of the bay from the bungalow's balcony which is just great. The general rear garden area of the property was a little untidy, but we spent most of our time on the balcony enjoying the views. In conclusion, a brilliant holiday was had by all and we'll have to go a long way to find a holiday home better than St Crispins. Congratulations to the owners.
