Stayed at the lowest possible price point in the year. Six lodges were rented over the three days by friends and relatives to celebrate a 60th birthday.
The lodges are new and well equipped. Couldn't fault the accommodation at all 5* for that.
Staff who operated the bar for the party were extremely helpful and friendly.
But trying to sort out where to put the general waste was not straightforward.
Found plenty of
'Mixed Recyclables'.
Luckily found a member of staff who took it from me.
(Not the usual tourist season, so, can't be 100% sure what will be in place when it is busy.
Also, in the Lodges, there are containers for food waste, accompanied by the necessary compostible liners, but no main site skips/bins available to deposit the food waste. As I live locally I took it with me to deposit in kerbside caddy at home)
There is an indoor swimming pool that adults and children in our group used. All enjoyed their splash.

Having said all that, is it a holiday destination? DEFINITELY - Croyde is a charming village. Plenty of local walks. Short drive out of the village to reach other parts of North Devon.
