Surf Breaks

Surf breaks to remember

With part of the resort surrounded by the sand dunes of Croyde Bay, you can’t get a more perfect location for surf breaks in North Devon.

Our on site surf shop, Croyde surf school, Walking On Waves, run by former European champion Sarah Whiteley offers hire and lessons. If you’re already prepared, bring your own board and get straight in the sea.

The perfect base to explore the local beaches, pubs and restaurants.

Dog Friendly

Our WaggyTails Cottages and Lodges offer a fantastic choice of dog friendly accommodation.

I believe in, and take pride in, working with surfers at all levels – from first attempt to competition coaching. There’s a joy that comes from seeing someone stand up for the first time that invigorates me every time. Equally, there’s a sense of fulfilment at helping someone nail a manoeuvre that they’ve been working on for 3 months. Come and join me for some fun in the sea.

The Perfect Surf Break

And of course when you’re not surfing or at the Croyde surf school, come back to the resort and relax in our swimming pool or jacuzzi, head to the local pubs like The Thatch, The Manor, The Kings Arms and The Rock Inn or chill out in your accommodation.

What our customers say

It is very clean friendly staff. The food is excellent and everything is free to use on the site like crazy golf tennis bowling the gym swimming pool and there's loads of games and game rooms for children as well. beautiful beaches in a lovely croyde village.

My husband and I stayed for three nights in December. The weather was epic, high winds and rain. However, that didn't spoil it we had a wonderful time. The resort is beautifully kept and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The lodge we stayed in was new and very comfortable and slept six with two bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and open plan lounge diner and the facilities onsite well cared for. The location, just behind the dunes of the beautiful Croyde Bay was spectacular. Just a few minutes walk and you are on the beach. There is a great pub just up the road and the bar and restaurant on site are good too. We would definitely come back again.

My Wife and I together with two friends stayed at Unison Croyde Bay Holiday Camp for a long weekend in November. The whole place was very quiet due to being out of season, but oh so restful. The food was good as was the service of all staff. The Lodge we stayed in was spacious, clean and more than adequate for our stay. We had cooking, cleaning, dish washing and clothes washing facilities. This combined with three bedrooms, one with en-suite as well as a separate bathroom/shower, Central heating and double glazing. Excellent all round.

Hiding right behind the dunes, with a pool, games room, tennis court, mini gold, bowling green and bar - we love this place. 15% off for Unison members. There is a variety of accommodation to choose from, ranging from an upstairs room in the main building (just over £100), to a downstairs room (with outside access and patio), to chalets which can accommodate larger parties and finally the top drawer lodges at about £170/night. These are amazing! Fitted kitchen, tiled bathrooms, Netflix and decking with tropical foliage trimming. Its had to leave them to go to the beach.

Came down for my brothers wedding from Manchester. Excellent location, great hotel, made me wish I was a Unison member. Lovely people, helpful and friendly. Tasty scoff in pleasant surroundings, everything felt clean, fresh and the whole place looks like the people who work there to maintain it take pride in their work. I imagine people who come to stay for a holiday rebook often. When I come back down to visit family, this is where I'll stay.

Great lodges to stay in we had a 3 bedroom Lodge, the double bedroom had an en-suite with TV In bedroom and the other two bedrooms had 2x single beds in, they all have plenty of wardrobes and draws for clothing and bedside cabinets. They also provide you with towels, tea towel, 3 x dishwasher tables oven glove, toilet paper in bathrooms and had soap, iron & board & sweeping brush and cleaning buckets there is also a outdoor table and chairs, there is also a warm water swimming pool, sauna, steam-room and gym & evening entertainment. Over all great lodge and will stay again.
