Devon is a county of contrasts. Soft sandy beaches and craggy cliff top walks, upmarket seafood restaurants and fish and chips on the beach. It’s this variation that makes it such a great destination for a group or family holiday. There’s something for everybody.

Use your holiday home as a base to explore all the county has to offer. Dip your toes in the English Channel, tackle the South West Coast Path and take cream tea the Devonshire way. Then reconvene at dinner and create more memories that will last a lifetime.
