Sat Nav Users

• If you are using your Sat Nav, the large area of rural postcodes means that it is likely you will be directed to the wrong place! Instead of using our postcode, please use the postcode for Grange, CA12 5UQ.
• Once you have turned right over the double humped bridge into Grange, continue for three quarters of a mile, all the way through and out of the village. Manesty is the pink coloured houses on the left hand side once you come out of the trees.
• We also have a Google pin – search on Google Maps for Manesty Holiday Cottages
