We loved our week at the property. The garden summer house and the creak at the bottom of the garden were stunning. We swam when tide was in. Kingsbridge and salcombe near by were beautiful. Equally Bantham beach is amazing and worth a visit.Great pub opposite the property which has pool table and pool and was a good place to spend some time with the teenagers. Great communication. Would love to come back x

A wonderful stay at Croak Cottage. The pictures don’t do the cottage justice, it’s much better than we expected. It has a lovely way of making you feel at home instantly and the garden is just fabulous.

Wonderful stay at Frogmore

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home, even nicer decor and more spacious than the photos show. A truly picturesque location and we loved the secret garden and the creek. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Joanna for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Lovely property in a beautiful location

Croak cottage is a home away from home. Beautifully presented and every detail thought about. The garden is fantastic for a family, with access to the esturary we were able to paddleboard every day, and drying everything out was so easy afterwards. The views are stunning too.

Great cottage at good location

Our family of 4 (+ two dogs) really enjoyed our stay at Croak Cottage. Whilst not right on the coast it gives very easy access to beaches on both sides of the South Devon coast. We enjoyed Thurleston and Torcross beaches, which are both dog friendly all year round. Also Kingsbridge and Salcombe are both only a short drive away. The cottage we very clean and well maintained, recently refurbished to a high standard (it is more specious and bright than the website photos imply).

September holiday

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and homely. The road is narrow, quite busy and there are no pavements, so walking along the road can be a bit hazardous. The walk along the edge of the estuary is pretty muddy and requires boots or wellies.

We had a lovely weekend at Croak Cottage in June 2022. The property is dog friendly, beautifully decorated, clean and tidy, well equipped, with wonderful views across the estuary (lovely summer house to sit in when the weather was a little drizzly). There is a parking space outside which we just about managed to get a T5 Camper on! There's a pub just down the road "The Globe" which serves great food and has a cosy atmosphere (also dog friendly in the bar area). Would definitely return for another visit, thank you :-)

Peaceful setting by the creek

Croake Cottage has a garden that runs down to the creek in Frogmore, the high reaches of the Salcombe Estuary. Sitting on the lawn or in the summerhouse watching the changing water levels and wildlife the tide brings is a highlight if staying here. This cottage was very clean and well appointed. The king size bed was extremely comfortable with good quality linen. The kitchen had plenty of crockery, cutlery, glassware and kitchen utensils. This little cottage is ideal for one or two couples or a small family. and a good base for visiting South Hams The Globe Inn pub is a few yards away and we found it welcoming with good food.
