Well, for people who love peace and quiet, the roads are no longer an obstacle course and the exquisite coastal paths stretch out with hardly a soul to be seen. For people who love peace and quiet, you may be pleased to know there are a lot less people than in the summer holidays.

It is only a half mile walk from us to the beautiful Putsborough beach, and you may just find you have it all to yourself. With the summer heat down a few degrees it is the perfect time to stretch your legs and explore or just simply relax.

Or if you like more action then it is a great time to take up surfing away from the crowds or try the more sedate paddle boarding. We can put you in touch with the best places to begin.

And new for Pickwell Manor, if you have a special occasion that you would love to celebrate with your family and friends of up to 27 people, then we have the perfect venue. Our luxury apartments, Bliss, Grace, Affinity and The Chapel give you private access to the Manor and we include the ballroom and snug to meet all your catering needs. Please phone Julia for more details on 01271 890110 or visit our web site www.pickwellmanor.co.uk/group-bookings
