Welcome to Ocean's Reach Retreats

At Ocean's Reach Retreats, we believe that the best holidays aren’t just about where you stay—they’re about how you feel. Nestled in the heart of Croyde, a hidden gem on North Devon’s coastline, our curated selection of cottages and hotels offers more than just a place to sleep. They’re gateways to serenity, adventure, and unforgettable moments by the sea.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to help you disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most—whether that’s quality time with loved ones, quiet reflection, or the simple joy of watching the tide roll in. We handpick every property we feature, ensuring it meets our standards for comfort, character, and coastal charm.

What We Offer

We specialize in seaside escapes that blend luxury with authenticity. From cozy, dog-friendly cottages tucked behind dunes to elegant boutique hotels with panoramic sea views, our collection is designed for:

  • Families seeking spacious, welcoming homes away from home
  • Couples looking for romantic, intimate getaways
  • Solo travelers in need of peace, inspiration, and natural beauty

Each stay is an invitation to explore Croyde’s legendary beach, wander coastal paths, sip local cider by the fire, and wake up to the sound of waves.

About Theo Frayne

I’m Theo Frayne, the founder of Ocean’s Reach Retreats. After years of working in design and graphics at Tindalls Art & Graphics, I found myself drawn back to the coast—where I spent childhood summers chasing crabs and collecting sea glass. I realized that while there were plenty of places to stay in Croyde, few truly captured the soul of the place. So, I started Ocean’s Reach to share the quiet magic I’d always loved: the golden light at sunset, the smell of salt in the air, the warmth of a hearth after a long walk.

Why This Exists

This website wasn’t built to sell rooms—it was built to share stories. Stories of families laughing over breakfast with a view, of writers finding their next chapter between the pages of a book and the rhythm of the tide. I created Ocean’s Reach because I wanted others to experience the same peace I found here. Every property we feature has been visited, felt, and loved by me—or someone I trust deeply.

Our Approach

We don’t just list accommodations. We curate experiences. We believe in transparency, sustainability, and supporting local artisans and businesses. Our listings are updated regularly, our descriptions are honest, and our recommendations come from personal experience—not paid partnerships. We’re not the biggest, but we’re deeply committed to making your stay meaningful.
