After reading steeps review yesterday morning and needing to do the weekly shop we decided to head…read moreover to Bryngwenyn Farm and shop there. Bryngwenyn Farm is just as steeps writes and in a beautiful spot, I would definitely recommend its' location for a peaceful getaway with its' holiday cottages and b and b with the great advantage of the fabulous mainly organic farmshop with wonderful proper organic and freerange eggs(delicious for breakfast today). As well as doing a good shop there, we bought the aforementioned sausages, pork etc some wonderful organic vegetables, we had delicious home made cake and tea so definitely a step up from the usual supermarket venture.

Bryngwenyn Farm is many things in one. The part we go for is the Farm Shop. We were pointed here by…read moreout neighbours and decided to visit one Sunday afternoon. It is a bit off the beaten track so we had never seen it before, but we were pleasantly surprised. The shop itself is tiny, but still seems to hold plenty of goodies. There is a freezer full of meat (including the best sausages we have ever tasted), a fridge packed with cheese, yoghurt, milk and more, another freezer with bread, icecream and frozen fruits, a fruit and vegetable section and then shelves full of everything you can think of. They even stock Ecover products so if you are looking to avoid the supermarket, this is the place to go. Their home-milled flour is well worth a try and makes delicious bread. The shop is also a cafe and is laid out with a few tables. If you are looking for something different, they sell Alpaca wool gloves and hats! The rest of the farm includes holiday cottages and animals to see as well as the flour mill. I am tempted to sign up for one of the bread making courses. It is in an idyllic spot too with gorgeous views and a posse of sheep to greet you as you make your way down the track!

Barton Court is a really lovely place to stay!…read more I stayed for a couple of nights for a hen party, so we booked one of the cottages, and made the most of the spa facilities, kitchen and gardens! Why I liked it: - The beds are comfy and slightly squished in (but at least that means you can get more friends involved!) - The kitchen is large and has all the cooking paraphernalia we needed. - There is a nice lawn (we used it to play boules/ pétanque...) - There is a washer, a drier and clothes racks (I guess this would be useful for longer holidays!) - The spa facilities are clean and pleasant - we spent time in the pool, sauna and hot tub. - We had facials/pedicures included in the price of booking to rooms. A couple of girls spent extra to have massages - they were lovely. - The owners have some happy, friendly dogs. It is a bit in the middle of nowhere...but it doesn't take long to drive to the beach and for us it was the perfect venue.

Splashland is an indoor swimming pool situated inside the Trecco Bay holiday park…read more This is a fun pool, with most of the features mainly suiting children and families. It is very busy during the school holidays and summer. The pool operates on a timed slot basis, and you are given a coloured band which indicates the start and end time of your session. The pool has a decent waterslide, a children's pirate ship play area and a separate toddlers area. There is a jacuzzi type bubble area where you can sit/lie which is joined to the main pool. There are two swimming lanes - sometimes roped off and sometimes not - which are fine for some relaxing swimming - but due to the size and temparature (Very warm) of the pool they are not really suited to serious swimmers. You can sit and watch the swimmers in a seated area, and there is a good size changing village, including family size changing rooms. There are aqua aerobic classes available during the week.

a fantastic place to take the children,very reasonably priced,well maintained,plenty of lifeguard…read moresupervision,a very comfortable changing village. Great water slide and fun pool that includes a toddler end including slides, a pirate ship area for babies and toddlers,set seperate from the main pool. Main pool includes two swimming lanes for those keeping fit. reccomend to all!

I thought the employees at Porth Holiday Park were rude, but the ones here are Ruda! They are much…read moreRuda! They even named the place after how much Ruda they are! I adore Ruda... I holidayed here in the 1980s when I wasn't even in school yet, and then again a few years later when I was in school, and then as an adult, I drove back down here several times, enjoyed Croyde Beach, and even slept over here once or twice. They have a cool "flume" which is a waterslide, sticking out of their little mini swimming pool building. It looks like nothing now, but when I was a kid, it was absolutely thrilling. I have very embarrassing nude photos of me hanging out on the beach here. I was last here last year, and it's as lovely as ever. There were girls doing Yoga on the beach, it was windy and raining (it's England, it always is!), and it just felt like home. My Dad doesn't even have the BMW that he drove me and Mum down here in, on the little hedge-lined B-roads of Devon... they're not even married anymore, in fact they broke up just years after the first vacation here and neither one have ever returned, although I have. The best part is that you can walk from the accommodation directly onto the beach. What could be better. And this is review #1988 because that was probably one of the years I came here as a tiny lad, even though I may not have been born yet then. I was going to recreate the nude photo now that I am an adult, but I feel like with a fully grown man, it would be a lot Ruda.

Great place for a weekend break. We always come here once a…read moreyear. Mostly Camping. But this year it was a weekend in a caravan. We had a surprise 50th Birthday Bash - In a Hotel around the bay. And stayed here. The Swimming pool is great. And the evening entertainment was good too. Its only over the road from Croyde Beach which is a magnet for surfers. And there are plenty of surfing schools to help you take on those superb waves. We had an 8th birth caravan and was very comfortable. Even the double bed (come sofa). We have a lot of fond memories of Ruda. In the 10 years we have been visiting this place. It still holds great memories for me and my family. Ruda caters for all sorts of holiday's. I.e. Caravans of all sizes, camping. And there are some lovelly cottages right on the beach front, with its own private pool and Jacuzzi. These are a bit pricy, and you have to book well in advance. But really good if you want to treat yourself one year. There is a good walk to Baggy Point too, and you can see Woolacombe from around the bay. Also recommend a couple of pubs near by - Billy Buds is a great surfers pub for all the family - Great play area for the kids.
