About the home

Pickwell Manor is a stunning period manor house set in the heart of the countryside in the hamlet of Pickwell, yet within walking distance of Putsborough beach and a short distance from the popular destinations of Croyde and Woolacombe. On site there are 6 acres of wonderful gardens and grounds including an Italian garden, sun terrace, walled garden and areas of woodland. There is also a tennis court and games room.

The 'Affinity' apartment has rooms on a spectacular scale that makes you aware that you are staying in a Manor house. The two family bedrooms and the lounge / dining room have spectacular views over the Italian garden, the rolling fields and the sea towards Hartland Point.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Affinity is accessed via the main manor house front door and is situated on the first floor at the head of the grand staircase. It is a light and bright apartment with over 2000 sq ft of space. You enter the apartment into an exceptionally large kitchen, dining & living space. It is perfect for chatting, letting the children play or watching t.v whilst cooking the dinner. This is a beautiful room with high ceilings and feature fireplace, original oak panel doors, elegant, neutral soft furnishings and a great sense of history. Comfortable, soft seating in the lounge area with a flat screen TV, Freeview and DVD player makes for a relaxing time for all the family. Feel free to enjoy the stunning views from the south-facing stone mullioned windows over the formal garden, countryside and coast.

The kitchen has fitted units, electric cooker, integrated fridge and freezer, microwave and toaster and is well equipped for your self catering holiday. A short walk down a corridor, containing one of the original fireplaces, will bring you out to four doorways.

The master bedroom is a spectacularly large room; furnished with a Super king mahogany sleigh bed and a second single. The room faces south with high ceilings and feature beams, and if you look out of the stunning stone mullioned window, you will see the Italian garden, surrounding countryside and even catch sight of the sea in the distance. This master bedroom also has a beautiful bath set on a raised white concrete platform.

The second bedroom has been furnished with the family in mind having a double bed and a single bed. It too faces south and is both light and bright for much of the day. It has bedside cabinets and reading lamps, a wardrobe, chest of drawers, a basin and contemporary original artwork furnish the walls. The long window looks out onto the Italian garden.

The third bedroom is a twin room and has feature wood panelling and gorgeous stone mullion windows, it is equipped with twin single beds, bedside tables, reading lamps, and chest of drawers.

The bathroom consists of a bath, shower, and double sink set into a marble top. Some antique weighing scales lend as a wonderful feature to this room, and which surely cannot be accurate when we tried it out.

Further details outdoors:
Being part of the Manor house 'Affinity' offers a large private section of the Manor house for you to enjoy, whilst also offering many advantages of being in a larger Manor house (6 acres of gardens, Tennis court, terrace with sea views, ample parking, amazing rural / coastal setting)

The West Country / Devon region

The North Devon Coast boasts spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches whatever the season.The beaches are recognised as possibly some of the finest and cleanest in Europe - with two miles of soft golden sand, plenty of rock pools and amazing surf. The area of Saunton, Croyde, Georgeham and Woolacombe are in the heart of the Gold Coast and the best beaches in North Devon. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
.
There are a number of local golf courses, the closest being Willingcott just 2 miles away near Woolacombe or Saunton Golf Club located at Saunton Sands which is just the other side of Croyde. Other activities available in the area include kite surfing, running, cycling including the Tarka Trail cycle path, wake boarding, fishing and volleyball.

There are plenty of activities for children apart from the beach. There are good local parks, indoor play centres, museums, swimming pools and a Wildlife and Dinosaur park in nearby Combe Martin. There are also lots of interesting places to go for day trips including Lundy Island. Lynton and Lynmouth, Instow, Clovelly and Appledore are pretty Devon seaside villages and Barnstaple offers good shopping. There are fishing trips available from Ilfracombe Harbour, Combe Martin, Appledore and Lynmouth and at Instow there is the North Devon Yacht Club with a boat park and slipway with excellent Cadet Training undertaken during the summer months.

The Croyde / Georgeham area

The beaches at Putsborough, Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands are all very popular surfing beaches, they also offer fantastic expanses of sands and rock pools at low tides so are suitable for all beach games or simply lounging on a hot day. All the beaches have beach car parks if you don’t want to walk across the fields.

There are plenty of places to go for dinner in the evenings between Georgeham, Croyde, Braunton and Woolacombe. Locally the Lower House has an excellent restaurant, serving fantastic gastro food, and there are also a number of takeaway options – Lemon Grass Thai restaurant in Braunton is highly recommended for eating in or takeaway. There is also the Marisco Disco in Woolacombe for dancing.

“We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for our large family reunion” We actually rented out Affinity and Bliss to accommodate our family reunion of 5 families (19 people). We had high expectations of having an amazing time because we hadn't been under one roof for over 5 years and 2 families had travelled from USA for the occasion. However, the week literally couldn't have been more perfect. The way Affinity and Bliss accommodated each family giving us space if we needed it but also allowing ample room and resources for family dinners, games and fellowship, was awesome. The views were stunning from the rooms and even before the now improved redecorating we found the rooms so inviting and comfortable. The grounds were well taken care of and a joy to meander in. The 7 young children loved exploring the grounds and enjoyed time in the playroom. The sun shone for us all week which was an extra blessing and we quickly became acquainted with the many gorgeous beaches within easy access. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. They invited us all to 'Cream Tea ' on the patio one afternoon and that was a real highlight! I really can't say enough good things. The holiday for us was 'perfect" and a memory we will hold richly in our hearts. Pickwell Manor exceeded our expectations and we would go again in a heart beat.
