Holiday Accommodation – Cottages, Cabins, Glamping & Tiny Homes

Planning a break and not sure where to stay? You’re in the right place. From charming cottages by the sea to sleek tiny houses in the countryside, the choices are endless. Below we break down the main types of holiday accommodation you’ll find on Ocean's Reach Retreats and give you practical pointers so you can book with confidence.

Find the Right Spot for Your Stay

Cottages are the classic choice for families or couples who want space, a kitchen, and the feel of a home away from home. Look for a property with easy beach access if you’re heading to Croyde – that short walk makes sunrise coffee a habit. Cabins, on the other hand, offer privacy and a touch of romance. They’re usually set in more secluded spots, perfect for a getaway without neighbours knocking on the door.

Glamping blends camping’s adventure with hotel comfort. Think stretch‑canvas tents, wooden pods, or yurts equipped with heated beds and en‑suite baths. If you love nature but hate roughing it, glamping gives you star‑filled nights without sacrificing a good night’s sleep.

Tiny houses are gaining popularity for their clever use of space. They’re ideal if you travel light, want lower costs, or simply enjoy a minimalist vibe. Look for models with lofted sleeping areas and built‑in storage to make the most of every inch.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Holiday Accommodation

1. **Check the amenities list early** – Some cottages offer a full kitchen, while others provide just a fridge and microwave. Knowing what’s included saves you from last‑minute grocery runs.

2. **Read recent reviews** – Guests often mention hidden gems like a private garden, a pet‑friendly policy, or noisy neighbours. Real‑world feedback beats any glossy description.

3. **Plan your meals** – If you’re staying in a self‑catering cottage, scout local markets before you arrive. Buying fresh produce early lets you enjoy home‑cooked meals without the hassle.

4. **Consider the season** – Coastal cottages can be pricey in summer but quiet and affordable off‑peak. Glamping sites may close during heavy rain, so double‑check availability.

5. **Pack smart for tiny spaces** – Bring only the essentials. A compact travel pack, a reusable water bottle, and a few multi‑purpose items keep the tiny house tidy and comfortable.

Whatever type you pick, the key is matching the accommodation to your travel style. If you love cooking and need extra rooms, a cottage is your best bet. Want to unwind in a secluded forest cabin? Go for it. Craving a blend of outdoor fun and indoor luxury? Glamping has you covered. And if you’re adventurous about living small, a tiny house can turn a simple trip into a memorable experience.
