Family holidays or even just getting away on your own or with friends are one of life’s pleasures and as we each want something different from our holidays, there are plenty to choose from; including self-catering, hotel or resort holidays. A great place to spend vacation time is Devon in the South West of England; here you can enjoy diverse landscapes as well as charming towns and villages, a wealth of tourist attractions, outdoor adventures and a great choice of cultural experiences.
If you are self-catering on your next holiday in Devon, you will be spoilt for choice on dining experiences and after all, no-one wants to be preparing all the meals on a self-catering holiday. Plus there are plenty of opportunities for great outdoor dining experiences too; from fish and chips on one of the beautiful beaches to a picnic in one of Devon’s many splendid parks, gardens or open spaces.
Accommodation for those choosing to go self-catering in Devon, offers a choice that includes everything from chic, seaview apartments and quaint, thatched country cottages, to welcoming country Inns and unique or modern homes. The West Country is famed for the warmth of its welcome to holiday makers and Devon is one of the major tourist destinations in the region.
A holiday in Devon is ideal for all the family, with something for everyone and if you choose a self-catering holiday, flexibility is the perfect partner for any holiday itinerary. Whether you visit North, South and East Devon, you will discover a distinct culture that is particular to the region.
Afternoon tea is of course a must when looking to experience traditional Devon, as is a visit to one of Devon’s castles for those with an interest in Devon’s often turbulent history. Beautiful gardens, vast swathes of countryside, the sweep of any of the beaches on the west coast at sunset and even the hustle and bustle of Devon’s larger towns – are also part of this county’s appeal to holiday makers from across the world.
