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
Spreacombe sits at the crossroads of coast, countryside and woodland. That means you can plan each day depending on your energy, mood and the weather. Popular activities include:
- Walking & Wildlife – strolls through Chapel Wood, deer spotting at dusk, and seasonal birdwatching
- Cycling – gentle Tarka Trail nearby
- Golf – nearby access to Saunton, Ilfracombe and other courses
- Beach Adventures – swimming,surf lessons, bodyboarding or coastal walks at Woolacombe and Putsborough
- Nature Photography or Sketching – with light, wildlife and scenery all around
Every activity can be made as low-key or energising as you like.

Return to Comfort and Stillness
After a day of exploring, relax in one of our self-catering cottages:
- Comfy beds and quiet surroundings
- Fully equipped kitchens for easy evenings in
- Outdoor space to sit, stretch or stargaze
- Dog-friendly and accessible options available
There’s no need to rush, and no pressure to do it all.
