A spectacular coastal escape for families, friends and special celebrations. Set in 6 acres overlooking the Atlantic, it offers stylish self-catering apartments within a grand manor house, connecting in flexible configurations for groups of 17 – 27.
Pickwell Manor is a spectacular coastal escape for families, friends, and multi-generational celebrations. Nestled in six acres of flourishing grounds just a 25-minute walk from Putsborough Beach, this Grade II-listed manor blends history, memorable charm, and contemporary comfort.
The manor sleeps 27 across its 12 bedrooms, with flexible apartment layouts to accommodate groups of 17 – 27. Each apartment is stylish, with soft Farrow & Ball shades, luxurious lines, well-equipped kitchens, and cosy living rooms looking out across sea and country views. A games room and a six-person private hot tub offer fun and relaxation for all ages.
The three largest apartments, all in the main manor house, sleep 7 – 10 people in 3 or 4 sumptuous bedrooms. With soaring ceilings, elegant period details, and mullioned windows, four bedrooms even feature freestanding baths for a little extra indulgence. Filled with light and decorated in soft, coastal-inspired tones, each apartment has breathtaking views over the gardens and out to the Atlantic, offering a warm, welcoming retreat after a day exploring the coast.
Also in the manor is the glorious Ballroom and Snug. Expansive and inviting, these spaces let you live, eat, cook, and celebrate together, while still offering plenty of nooks to retreat to for quiet moments.
Outside, adventures await: sandcastles and surfing at Putsborough, Croyde or Woolacombe, coastal walks, cycling the Tarka Trail, or simply wandering the manor’s gardens and woodlands. Pickwell Manor is a place to connect, relax, and make unforgettable memories.
Please note: hens, stags, and wedding parties are not permitted.
