Pickwell Barton Cottages

About

Andrew and Jane are delighted to welcome you to Pickwell Barton, a working farm in a peaceful and stunning location, where you get a choice of two spacious self-catering North Devon holiday cottages overlooking the glorious sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Putsborough. 

Our two charming cottages are set in 600 acres of farmland, just half a mile from the beaches. The cottages enjoy a secluded rural location yet are conveniently placed for the charming picturesque villages of Croyde, Georgeham and Braunton, which are all a short distance away and feature some wonderful local pubs, restaurants and shops. 

Each cottage has their own private grounds and have spacious play areas and southwest facing patios, so you can enjoy those glorious summer evenings. The cottages also have a bbq in the gardens for you to really take advantage of the beautiful outdoor setting. 

The cottages are all tastefully furnished, clean, decorated throughout and comprehensively equipped and are suitable for holidays at any time of the year. Both cottages are centrally heated with roaring log fires for guests staying in winter and autumn. At Christmas, guests will also get decorated trees and vegetable hampers and will be welcomed with a bottle of bubbly on arrival. Don’t worry though, if you’re visiting us at other times of the year, you’ll still receive our warm welcome, guests are welcomed with a hamper containing everything you could need for a magical stay. 

The cottages consist of Pickwell Court and Pickwell Barton Cottage. Pickwell Court is a beautiful south facing converted barn set in its own private courtyard. It sleeps up to 8 people and is warm, cosy and very spacious. The Court retains many original features, including oak beams and is ideal for an extended family holiday. The kitchen contains everything you could possibly need, plus the Court is accessible for guests with restricted mobility as it has downstairs bedrooms, a shower room and family bathroom. The upper floor contains another bedroom and ensuite toilet. 

Pickwell Barton Cottage is the old coachman’s cottage and is still next door to the barn his horses would have been tied up in! The cottage has all its original features and is spacious throughout containing downstairs bathroom and three bedrooms upstairs. The modernised kitchen has everything you need to cater for the whole family.

Both cottages have a range of facilities including complimentary wifi and parking at Putsborough Beach. We provide linen, towels, tea towels and electricity, plus there are colour tvs and dvd players, dishwashers, washing machines and more included. They are ideal for those on surfing holidays or the more adventurous, we even provide space in the barn to hang wetsuits, boards and store bikes and other leisure equipment. 

Woolacombe and Putsborough beaches are a short walk from the cottages through our farmland, if you visit during the spring, you can take a stroll down to the beaches among frolicking lambs! These two beaches form an unbroken 3 mile stretch of golden sands and just a little further along the coast is Croyde Bay, which is known for being one of the best surfing beaches in the country. 

Pickwell Barton is a great base for anyone wanting to explore more of the area, there are many family friendly attractions and activity centres nearby, as well as National Trust places and we’re near an area of outstanding natural beauty, so we recommend exploring the beautiful surrounds. While in Devon you have to sample a traditional cream tea, there are lots of tea rooms and gardens nearby, we’ll be happy to advise you on directions and interesting places to visit during your stay.
