Welcome to Dingle Dell

A special place - at the hidden heart of Croyde

Dingle Dell is Different

Croyde is shaped like a horseshoe — lively and social around the rim, calm at the centre. And right at that hub, quietly tucked just behind the village’s main rhythm, you’ll find Dingle Dell.

This weathered lifebelt, cast ashore by the tragic Lynmouth flood of 1953, was given new purpose at Dingle Dell. It has become our logo and emblem — a symbol of safety, welcome, and gentle escape from the busyness of modern life

One of only five chalets in this secluded spot, Dingle Dell offers a peaceful retreat just moments from everything. Stroll to the beach. wander through the village Then retreat to your own private veranda, where the morning sun arrives early and breakfast always seems to last longer than it should.

This is the sort of place where you can park the car for the week and forget it exists. Most mornings begin with a pre-breakfast walk — to the dunes, along Baggy Point, or straight down to the sea for a swim. Then it’s back for coffee and toast on the veranda, where the light pours in and time slows down.

Croyde Bay

Dingle Dell is one of the original wooden holiday chalets in Croyde Bay. It is tucked away in a quiet location between the village centre and the beach, a spot it shares with just 4 other chalets.

We have worked hard to provide comfortable accommodation whilst working within the character and confines of a unique and traditional structure.

The peace and character of Dingle Dell has ensured that our vistors find themselves returning year after year.
