Is Wyndham Villa Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The second-floor snug room with corner sofa creates a dedicated space for children's film nights and games. Saunton Sands beach sits less than three miles away, offering safe swimming and sandcastle building. Croyde Bay provides surfing lessons for older children. The enclosed garden gives younger ones outdoor play space. Two twin bedrooms work well for siblings sharing.

Groups Will Love...
The second-floor snug room transforms group holidays by giving teenagers and older children their own living space. This separate area features a corner sofa perfect for film marathons and gaming sessions. Parents can relax downstairs whilst older kids enjoy independence upstairs. The layout means everyone stays under one roof but different age groups get their own territory. This thoughtful design prevents the usual holiday tensions when multiple generations share one living room throughout the day.
Pet Friendly
Wyndham Villa does not accept dogs or other pets. You'll need to arrange alternative care for your animals during your stay. The property management enforces this policy strictly. If you're travelling with pets, you should look for alternative North Devon properties that welcome animals.
