Spreacombe Gardens

About

Welcome to Spreacombe Gardens: Your Quiet and Relaxing Holiday Destination on our Private Estate that is managed for nature.

Tranquillity Awaits in Our Family-Run Cottages

Nestled in a serene, wooded valley, Spreacombe Gardens offers six family-owned cottages where dogs and children are always welcome.  Our guests enjoy quiet relaxation, fresh air  and the invigorating coastline.

Whether you’re exploring the estate’s private walks or heading to the stunning Woolacombe Beach just 10 minutes away, your holiday experience is yours to shape. Many of our guests - over 50% - return time and again, forming friendships that last a lifetime, others privately collect the key and just switch off from the speed of city life.

Get back to Nature

Located in the peaceful Spreacombe Valley, our estate has been managed for by the Dennis family for over six decades. Originally acquired for its trees, the estate now features thriving woodlands, scenic ponds, and an abundance of wildlife. Bring your camera to capture the beauty of our estate walks, or enjoy the tranquillity of the fields, perfect for a gentle stroll. Remember to respect our lambs and sheep while exploring.

Sustainable Holiday

We have an ongoing cycle of tree planting and following this the subsequent weeding and management to allow our trees to flourish. Less known by the popular press, permanent grassland is also an excellent carbon capture; we are proud that our meadows fall into this category. We have solar panels on our cottage roofs and an EV charging point fitted for guests with electric cars. It goes without saying that we recycle wherever possible and are trying to limit our single use plastic by either refilling or in the case of milk using glass bottles. Preserving nature and our planet is important to us and we try to do what we can.

Close to North Devon’s Best Attractions

Spreacombe Gardens is under four miles from the rugged North Devon Coast, making it the ideal base for exploring Woolacombe, Putsborough, Croyde, and Saunton Sands. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the South West Coast Path and the Tarka Cycleway for their stunning views and invigorating trails.

Family-Friendly Cottages

Our six cottages form a semicircle around a shared lawn, each with its own picnic table and seating area. Ideal for families, couples, or larger groups, all cottages are single-story and thoughtfully equipped for a self-catering holiday. For group gatherings, The Old Barn—a function room with a kitchen and WC—offers the perfect space for celebrations or communal meals (curfew at 10 pm).
