The sun is shining, the temperature is 14 degrees and the first bluebells are emerging in the woods. Simon and Julia moved down from Derbyshire to North Devon to manage Pickwell Manor just one year ago. They can confirm that the extra 350 hours of sunshine a year here really are good for the mind, body and soul. So, if circumstances are encouraging you to consider a holiday in the UK this year, let us assure you Devon has so much to offer. Our beaches are super clean and though they may be chillier than the Med, they offer some of the best surfing and body boarding in the country. The walking here is outstanding and the wildlife and nature abundant. In fact, our neighbour caught an otter on camera exploring his garden pond only last week. Click Here to watch (Of course, we are convinced this is a direct descendent of Tarka). The children will love searching the rock pools for seaside treasures and whatever the weather, Devon will keep them entertained or they can spend a happy hour or two in our well-equipped games room.

For your peace of mind - in addition to our normal cleaning regime –

we are disinfecting all appropriate areas within your holiday accommodation for each new guest. In addition, we are providing hand sanitisers in apartments and in all communal areas and disinfecting shared spaces.

We are almost full for Easter and the summer is getting busy so if you haven’t booked your holiday yet we would love to welcome you to Pickwell Manor and share the delights of Devon with you. It just seems wrong to keep it all to ourselves.

The Den, our new, amazing family tree house and luxury private hot tub will soon be completed and we hope to be taking bookings from May.

If you want further details on any of the above please phone Julia on 01271 890110 or e-mail julia@pickwellmanor.co.uk
