Not all activity holidays need to be high-adrenaline.
At Spreacombe Gardens, you can enjoy a peaceful base for gentle, rewarding outdoor adventures, from woodland walks and wildlife spotting to golf, cycling and coastal explorations. It’s all about doing more of what you love, at your own pace.
Choose Your Own Blend of Active and Calm

- Golf – nearby access to Saunton, Ilfracombe and other courses
- Beach Adventures – swimming,surf lessons, bodyboarding or coastal walks at Woolacombe and Putsborough

Every activity can be made as low-key or energising as you like.
