A DVD player along with an iPod docking station are also provided. The real oak flooring and under floor heating together with the Victorian fireplace provide cosy warmth on cooler evenings. You will also find some local maps and walking guides in the lounge. In LOOKOUT there is plenty of entertainment. For outside fun there is a paddling pool and, should the weather be under par, there are lots of board games, books, toys and Lego. The Sky TV package includes all the Children’s channels and there is a selection of DVDs.
Inside LOOKOUT there are helpful items for the family such as stair gates, high chair, cot (with sheet, please bring your own grow-bag / blankets).

Surfer’s utility room: the garage has been converted into a fantastic surf room, with a large hot walk-in shower - go straight-in after surfing and take off your wetsuit in the warm!
There is also a big laundry sink for washing wetsuits and a hanging rack to dry them, and a tumble drier.
In addition, there is a large surfboard rack (with enough height for 10ft long boards...sorry boards not included!) .
There is also plenty of storage space for golf clubs, buggies and all your beach equipment! And a drinks fridge which is easily accessible from the patio/garden.
Our guests love this versatile room which is great for surfers, families, golfers and walkers alike.
OUTDOORS
The terraced west-facing garden is a sun-trap year round and has some lovely established plants including bamboo, camellia and vines. You will hear the sounds of birds singing and, in the distance, the waves breaking on Croyde beach. With a small grass lawn on the lower level for playing games, playing in the paddling pool or lounging, and shade under the large umbrella on the top terrace for enjoying cool drinks, the garden makes a lovely alternative to the beach. Later in the evening, enjoy sunset al fresco dining round the table seating 6, the outdoor fireplace is there to keep you warm when the sun dips out of sight. All the local beaches are great for surfing, each with their own characteristics and advantages. The variety of surf within a five minute drive makes Croyde an outstanding location for surfers. There is something for everyone: great beginners’ waves, peeling long board waves, punchy barreling beach breaks and a rocky point break.
For the Family: We know what it is like getting out of the house with kids, so to make it even easier you can use The Lookout’s Red Wagon! You can use it to transport all your beach goodies and / or the kids to the beach and the big wheels mean you can even pull it across soft sand. We have provided a family cool box, parasol, windbreak, body boards and a selection of beach games so you don’t have to cart all of yours from home (we know there is already no space in the car!).
