Corporate Travel Made Easy at Ocean's Reach Retreats

If you’re looking for a place where work and a little sea breeze mix well, Croyde is a solid pick. Our cottages and hotels sit right on the coast, giving your team a break from office walls without losing focus on the agenda.

First thing you’ll notice is the vibe. A beachfront view can spark fresh ideas, and the sound of waves often steadies nerves before a big presentation. That’s why many companies choose a seaside base for their retreats – it feels like a reward and still offers reliable Wi‑Fi, quiet rooms, and meeting spaces.

Why Choose a Seaside Base for Business Trips

Working by the water isn’t just a gimmick. Studies show a pleasant environment can boost productivity by up to 15 percent. When your crew steps out for a quick walk on the sand, they return with clearer heads and better focus.

Plus, Croyde’s compact village layout means everything is a short walk away. You can grab coffee, hit the beach, or head to a local pub for a relaxed debrief without spending hours in a car. Less travel time equals more time for the work you actually need to get done.

Rooms, Facilities and Booking Tips for Teams

We offer a range of rooms that fit any group size. Small teams love our charming cottages – three bedrooms, a living area, and a kitchen that doubles as a casual meeting spot. Larger groups can book several hotel rooms that share a conference suite equipped with a projector, whiteboard, and high‑speed internet.

Booking for a team is simple. Use our online portal, select the “business” option, and you’ll see group rates, flexible cancellation, and the ability to add extra services like on‑site catering or a dedicated desk in the lobby. If you need a private office for a day, just let us know and we’ll set up a quiet zone with all the tech you need.

Don’t forget to ask about early‑check‑in or late‑check‑out. When flights or trains land at odd hours, having a place to store luggage or unwind can make a big difference in how the day starts.

Travel logistics are easy too. Croyde is a 30‑minute drive from Exeter Airport and has regular train connections from major UK cities. We can arrange shuttle service straight from the station to your accommodation, so you avoid the hassle of hiring a taxi for a whole group.

Team‑building doesn’t have to feel forced. Our location offers surf lessons, coastal hikes, and boat trips that double as informal workshops. A short group surf session can teach communication and trust, while a beach clean‑up day shows your company’s commitment to sustainability.

If you prefer something more low‑key, the village has several pubs with private rooms perfect for a casual dinner after a day of meetings. Booking a table for a group is quick, and many venues offer set menus that keep costs predictable.

When it comes to budgeting, combine work and leisure wisely. A three‑night stay often balances cost and experience – you get two full days for meetings and a half‑day for team activities without paying for an extra night that might go unused.

Finally, remember to capture the moments. Ask your team to take a photo with the ocean backdrop after the final meeting. Those images become the visual part of your post‑trip report and remind everyone why a seaside retreat works.
