A piece of paradise
Absolutely a piece of paradise ,so peaceful and everything you need, Julie & Simon are so helpful with the local walk and pubs to visit, The view from the loft tree house is stunning, the pub in the village (20 minutes away by foot) has excellent food and good beer, will definitely be back.
Stunning 🤩
My husband and I recently visited “The Loft” a beautiful tree house/ pod that overlooks beautiful scenery at Pickwell Manor Farm. We were treated to welcome nibbles and a bottle of fizz to enjoy, which was a great way for us to christen the luxurious hot tub! We had everything we needed including soft fluffy towels and robes, wood burner and kindling should we have wanted a fire, a gas barbecue on the balcony - which made cooking up our breakfasts super easy. Kitchen amenities were a plenty and the deceptively large bed was like sleeping on a cloud! We also loved the wet room and were so impressed by the design and layout of the pod. It is definitely worth the money. Julia and Simon were really responsive to our txt queries and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds and the animals - a special mention to Peter Rabbit whom we found particularly cute! Thank you Julia and Simon, we cannot wait to return one day to enjoy another slice of heaven. :)
A hidden gem
We stayed in Affinity as a family of four - one 21 year old and one 85 year old / something for everyone here. A beautiful house and the location is second to none! The apartment was spotlessly clean, the management a joy to deal with and the venue itself was beyond our expectations
We will most definitely be back !
Romantic Hideaway Amongst the Trees
I chose the tree house called the Hideaway for our anniversary week holiday as I was looking for somewhere that would provide a romantic atmosphere where we could spend some quality time together, and would hopefully be a world away from our very busy every day life's, and it delivered on all counts, the tree house was nestled amongst the trees and as it was June the woodland was in full bloom, all you could see was the sky appearing between the canopy of the trees and all you could hear was the sound of bird song, it was perfect.
The tree house was immaculately presented and had everything we needed for our romantic getaway week.
Heaven on earth
We stayed at the Den as a family of four and couldn't fault anything. So much to explore, the games room is perfect is weather not 100%, tennis court was fun too. The owners were really friendly and even offered our children to hold and feed the animals. Hot tub, sauna and cold bucket were all extra bonuses. The accommodation itself is modern, simple and very clean and the welcome hamper was an extra special touch.
Fabulous sea view from the tree tops
We had a very short stay in The Loft, one of the tree houses. A lovely experience with great attention to detail in the tree house. The hot tub was ready for use as soon as we arrived, there were welcome gifts of prosecco, crisps and chocolate and a lovely comfortable bed. The sea view was fabulous and the whole experience totally enjoyable. Very much recommended.
The perfect getaway!
We had an amazing stay at The Hideaway Treehouse! Such attention to detail and the treehouse was just gorgeous. We loved the hot tub and the swinging chair on the decking, as well as exploring the grounds, seeing the animals, playing games etc. The free parking pass at the beach was a lovely touch. Thank you so much! We will definitely be recommending!

Amazing treehouse
We stay in the Den Tree house which was amazing our two children 6 and 3 absolutely love it. The hot tub and sauna was lovely after a day on the beach.
The kids loves the games room and pixi trail. We will definitely be back again and enjoy more of the views and summer days. Thank you
Absolutely breathtaking
We stayed in The Den which my husband surprised me for my 30th birthday and wow what a surprise it was.!
The Den has beautiful views from the minute you wake up to the sun setting. The interior and layout is lovely. Not forgetting the hot tub, ice bucket and your very own sauna. (Which all the family loved)
There are lots of things to do if you didn’t want to leave pickwell manor (games room, animals, pixie trail, tyre swings). The beach isn’t far either.
We made lots of lovely memories that we will treasure forever.
We would highly recommend pickwell manor and will be definitely returning.
Total gem
5/5 our third visit and Pickwell is an exceptional place to stay. Beautiful location/ apartments so clean.
We have already booked our next visit! We visit with friends but I think would be equally as good for families. Feels very private and each apartment is individual and high quality
Exceptional
Just returned from a wonderful weekend stay in Grace which is so spacious and grand. It was immaculate with lots of special touches. Everything we needed and more. This place is very special. Highly recommended.

The Den
My husband and I, along with our 5 year old son, have just returned from the most amazing stay at Pickwell Manor’s tree-house, The Den. Originally we booked for November 2020 but lockdown stopped that and we decided to book a Pre-Christmas stay and I am so glad we did.
Everything…everything was absolutely perfect.
Cleanliness (even though dogs are allowed) is spot on and the whole layout works effortlessly; we were welcomed with a wide selection of welcome gifts and helpful information packs to make us familiar with our setting and location.
Facilities: all you need is there, just bring food/drink and containers/foil/Tupperware. The beds were cosy and clean and ever so comfortable. Our son absolutely loved the bedroom bunks and the storage stairs.
Beach: There is a parking permit for the local beach otherwise it’s £6 per car for parking. It’s an amazing beach and seems to never end. Definitely aiming to explore it more when we return.
Our highlights:
We ate breakfast with the bar-windows open (yes in December!) and we saw a buzzard grooming itself on a branch just a couple of metres away.
At night we fell asleep listening to an owl hooting in the trees.
Access to the hot-tub meant hours of fun for both adults and our son: he learned to ‘swim’ with his face fully submerged.
Feeding the animals on the last day with Simon was also a huge highlight - thank you for that. Harry the dog led us into the different pens and our son was able to hand feed the goats, the pigs, the Guinea pigs and rabbits and the chickens.
Never before have we rebooked a holiday whilst on holiday but this time we did. We contacted Julia to ask for specific dates and this was accepted and confirmed within an afternoon.
As a family we feel this is a place where you’re encouraged to have fun and encouraged to explore nature. The attention to detail is exquisite: we absolutely loved opening the shed and gaining our keys, lantern and wheelbarrow!
The games rooms is well equipped and the selection of books make for great bedtime reading.
We can not wait to be back and we can not recommend The Den enough!
Beautiful setting
We stayed in The Hideaway for 3 nights and loved it. The treehouse is beautifully made and so comfy. We loved the hot tub and the view from the balcony. Waking up amongst the trees was very special and we enjoyed being able to walk to the coast path.
Phenomenal
I booked this place to celebrate my 21st birthday and I was not disappointed with any part of it. The fairy lights to the hot tub to the view on the balcony. Everything was perfect and will definitely be coming back at the first opportunity I get!
The best experience in along time
Quite honestly, we cannot explain how fantastic this is. Everything about it reeks class and is so well done. We had the Hideaway for a few nights and have already re booked. Book it, you will not regret it.
Great self catering apartments
Really comfortable well set up apartments set in beautiful surroundings. All basics provided including fun welcome pack. It is a wonderful place to relax and unwind with family and friends. Close to Puttsborough beach and other great walks.
Fantastic place to stay in beautiful part of north Devon
This was our first visit to Pickwell Manor, and it won't be our last - we have already rebooked for next year!
We stayed as a family, plus dog, in Grace Apartment and were bowled over by the whole experience: a truly fantastic apartment in a beautiful and thoughtfully preserved and updated manor house, some parts of it dating back to Saxon times.
Julia and Simon and Harry were wonderful as hosts, taking calls late in the evening and always ready to answer questions about the house or the local area, and to chat in general! They told us that there were 55 people on the site during the week we were there but you would not have known that at all from the peace and serenity at the Manor.
A truly wonderful place to relax and enjoy being in, or out.
