Getaways – Your Easy Guide to a Coastal Holiday

Thinking about a break from the daily grind? A short trip to the coast can give you the reset you need without the hassle of a long vacation. Ocean's Reach Retreats makes it simple: pick a cottage, a small hotel, or even a cabin, and you’re set for a relaxed getaway in Croyde.

Why Choose a Croyde Getaway?

Croyde offers golden sand, clear water, and a laid‑back vibe that works for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. The area is small enough to explore on foot, but big enough to keep you busy with surf spots, seaside walks, and local pubs. Staying in a cottage gives you a home‑like feel – you can cook a meal, lounge in a living room, and still be steps from the beach. If you prefer a bit more service, the small hotels on the beachfront provide daily housekeeping and easy access to the ocean.

Another perk is flexibility. You can book a glamping tent for an outdoorsy night, a tiny house for a minimalist experience, or a full‑size cottage for a family of four. Each option keeps you close to the sea while letting you choose the level of comfort you want.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Stay

1. Book early in the summer. Croyde gets busy from June to August. Securing your spot a few months ahead locks in the best rates and gives you more choices.

2. Pack light, but smart. Bring a reusable water bottle, a couple of quick‑dry towels, and a light rain jacket – the UK weather can change fast.

3. Plan one main activity. Whether it’s surfing a wave, hiking the coastal path, or simply watching the sunset from a cliff‑top café, having a focus makes the trip feel purposeful without feeling rushed.

4. Use the kitchen. Cooking a simple breakfast or lunch in your cottage saves money and lets you enjoy the fresh air on a patio or garden.

5. Explore local eateries. The towns around Croyde have great fish‑and‑chips shops and bakeries. Trying a local dish adds flavor to your getaway.

6. Take a day off the beach. A short drive to nearby towns or a visit to a farmer’s market gives you a break from sand and sea, and you’ll discover more of the region.

7. Mind the tide times. Checking the tide schedule helps you avoid getting stuck on a muddy beach and lets you plan the best times for swimming or paddle‑boarding.

By keeping these tips in mind, you’ll spend more time enjoying the view and less time worrying about the details.

Ocean's Reach Retreats also offers ready‑made checklists for each type of stay – from tiny houses to larger cottages – so you can grab what you need without overpacking. Their team can suggest hidden spots, like a quiet cove for a sunrise walk or a less‑crowded surf break, making your getaway feel personal and unique.

So, ready to trade the office chair for a beach chair? Pick a property on the Ocean's Reach site, follow the simple tips above, and you’ll have a smooth, relaxed getaway that leaves you refreshed and ready for the next day back at work.
