Slow Holidays for Couples - Reconnect in Nature

If you're craving stillness, space and time to reconnect with yourself or each other, Spreacombe Gardens is made for slow holidays.

Tucked into a quiet valley near Woolacombe, our self-catering cottages offer a peaceful base for couples who want less screen time, more sky, and nature without the crowds.

Breathe Out. Switch Off. Tune In.

There’s no pressure to do anything here. Mornings stretch gently into afternoons. You can wander woodland paths, read in the sun, or simply listen to the quiet. With no traffic noise and little light pollution, Spreacombe encourages deep rest and deeper connection.

Wildlife, Walks and Wide Open Spaces

Couples often tell us it’s the small moments that stay with them:

  • Birdsong over breakfast
  • Buzzards overhead during a slow afternoon walk
  • Watching the sun set from a quiet spot in the garden

You can explore RSPB Chapel Wood, the South West Coast Path, or simply walk the valley, all at your own pace. There’s no rush here.

Cosy Cottages Made for Two

Our cottages are traditional, comfortable, and unpretentious. Each has:

  • A fully equipped kitchen for slow meals together
  • Outdoor space for reading, dining, or just watching the world go by
  • A peaceful bedroom and living area with no distractions
  • Dog-friendly in most cases
  • Although there are enough bed spaces to bring the family, many choose not to !

“Slower mornings, longer walks, no agenda. We came home feeling renewed.”
