Devon Cottage Holidays

Spanning endless beautiful coastline, medieval towns and sweeping moorland national parks, Devon is one of the best British holiday destinations. From soft sandy beaches and fossil-studded cliffs to fresh seafood suppers and welcoming locals, there are endless reasons why a trip to the South West of England should be on the cards. Whilst there’s plenty to do and see in Devon itself, you’re also strategically placed to enjoy the best of this part of the UK, with the counties of Dorset, Somerset and Cornwall just a stone’s throw away.

Whether you’re seeking sun, sea and sand or bustling cities, Devon will not disappoint. From shopping and restaurant hopping along the bustling streets of Exeter, Torquay and Salcombe to admiring the picturesque buildings in Ashburton, Totnes and Chagford, culture vultures will adore their time here. For sea lovers, the beaches await. Spend an afternoon relaxing on the silky soft sand at Woolacombe or splashing in the waves at Paignton. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, the beaches on the North Devon coastline are known for great surf, while the endless coves and inlets along the South Devon coastline are ideal for a day of exploring.

Hikers will be happy to hear that there are countless trails scattered across Devon. Some of the best hiking spots include Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, as well as the South Devon and East Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. While nature lovers won’t want to miss the chance to spot the gorgeous Exmoor ponies, the oldest native pony breed in Britain. History lovers will want to take some time to explore the Jurassic Coast, one of the UK’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which is full of ancient fossils and other interesting geological formations.

When it comes to accommodation, you’ll be spoilt for choice for your stay in Devon. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with family or with the dog, the holiday cottage options abound. From toddler and baby-friendly townhouses to hot tub hideaways perfect for a special Christmas or Easter break, you’ll find the perfect spot here at Cottage Holidays. If you’re keen to try out some watersports during your visit then the pretty seaside towns of Dartmouth and Brixham are great bases. While outdoor enthusiasts will love the traditional countryside town of Okehampton and the sleepy coastal villages of Wembury - here you’ll be able to enjoy endless hiking and biking trails right from your doorstep.
