Holiday cottages in Devon

Devon has always been a favourite English holiday destination. It’s quite timeless, with energetic history and unspoilt beauty. If you want luscious greenery, rolling country lanes and picturesque villages and hamlets, then this is the county for you. It may surprise the visitor that the Devon landscape has been deemed to be so exceptional, that over half of it has been given protected status.

Devon is home to England’s only natural UNESCO World Heritage site, the Jurassic Coast, and its sublime beauty is something that must be seen. Stunning geology creates rolling plains, such as Dartmoor and Exmoor, while seaside experiences can be had in popular destinations such as Sidmouth and Paington. Devon is a wonderful location for a family holiday, with so much to see and do, while its beauty also makes it ideal for a romantic weekend away.
