The details
The Boltholes at Pickwell Manor offer couples the chance to escape to two utterly unique hideaways, each with its own private hot tub and characterful design. Tucked away within the beautiful grounds of Pickwell Manor, these secluded retreats combine romance, privacy and easy access to some of North Devon's most spectacular beaches. Whether you choose the historic charm of The Chapel or the quirky beach hut-inspired style of Amity, you'll have a peaceful base where you can unwind after days spent exploring the coast.
The Chapel is unlike anywhere else you've stayed before. Lovingly restored from a 16th-century chapel, it perfectly balances centuries of history with contemporary comfort. Enter through your own private entrance into a stylish kitchen complete with retro 50s diner-style seating, before climbing the steep staircase to the wonderfully light bedroom beneath the original medieval chapel window. Step straight from the bedroom onto your own secluded deck, where a bubbling hot tub awaits. Spend sunny afternoons stretched out in the fresh sea air before sinking into the warm water after sunset, listening to the distant sound of the waves rolling onto nearby Putsborough beach.
Equally enchanting, Amity is a delightful beach hut-style retreat tucked away at the end of its own private garden beside the manor. Bright, cosy and full of character, it offers a welcoming kitchen diner, a snug living room and a charming mezzanine bedroom reached by a handcrafted hazel staircase. Outside, the enclosed south-facing garden is perfect for lazy afternoons, complete with loungers, a BBQ and your own private hot tub. Better still, Amity welcomes one dog, making it ideal if your four-legged companion deserves a coastal escape too.
Whichever bolthole you choose, you'll also enjoy access to Pickwell Manor's excellent shared facilities. Wander through six acres of beautiful gardens and woodland, challenge each other to a game on the tennis court, spend an evening in the games room or make use of the surf and bike store after adventurous days exploring the coast. Practical touches including EV charging, a laundry room and an unlimited beach car park pass for Putsborough make your stay even more relaxing.
The location couldn't be better for discovering North Devon's breathtaking coastline. It's just a half-mile stroll across the fields to the golden sands of Putsborough Beach, while Woolacombe and Croyde are both within easy reach for surfing, swimming and coastal walks. Wander the South West Coast Path for spectacular sea views, enjoy lunch in the charming village of Georgeham or spend your days browsing independent shops, cosy pubs and cafés before returning to your own peaceful hideaway for an evening beneath the stars in the hot tub.

We had a lovely stay in the Amity. The accommodation was clean and well presented, hot tubs was perfect temp and must for looking up at the stars. The grounds of the manor are beautiful which we enjoyed exploring plus also made use of the parking permit for the beach (saving £15!) We visited the local restaurant Ebrington Arms TWICE and massively recommended. Thank you lots Jason & Rebecca
