The Best Places to Visit in Devon

Whether you’re looking for a tranquil destination for a romantic weekend, a dog-friendly holiday in the countryside or a family beach break, our luxury cottages are in and close to many of the best places to visit in Devon.

Devon overflows with stunning scenery. If you like wild moors and dramatic tors, Dartmoor National Park is a must. A haven for walkers, history enthusiasts and nature lovers, Dartmoor offers Bronze Age sites, the famous Dartmoor ponies and atmospheric sites such as Wistman’s Wood.

Meanwhile, the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty takes in part of the Jurassic Coast and teems with coastal resorts such as Sidmouth and Seaton. There are many beaches here, as there are in North Devon where some of the most popular are around Ilfracombe which has also made a name for itself on the culinary and cultural scene.

If it’s beautiful sea views with a locally made ice-cream in-hand as you watch sailing boats drift out to sea that you dream of, head to Salcombe. As part of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the town is a lovely place to relax, shop in boutiques and dine on fresh seafood.
