With its sweeping coastline peppered with unspoilt beaches and secluded coves, rugged moorland where wild ponies roam free, and a wealth of picture-postcard villages, Devon is the perfect destination for relaxing long weekends or short breaks away. Short breaks in North Devon revolve around the sun, sea and surf – catch some waves at Woolacombe, Saunton and Westward Ho! and enjoy picnics on the sand at Croyde and Ilfracombe. Not forgetting invigorating coastal rambles along the South West Coast Path or inland strolls amongst the vast wilderness of the Exmoor National Park.
Short breaks in Mid and East Devon are perfect for exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Dartmoor National Park as well as the gorgeous beaches at Exmouth, Sidmouth and Beer. And short breaks in South Devon are ideal for those seeking a traditional bucket and spade seaside holiday, with deckchairs and beach huts dotted along the palm-fringed English Riviera. Browse our Devon cottages for self-catering short breaks to find your perfect countryside or coastal mini break.
Whether you are looking for a quick three-night break, a mid-week retreat or a weekend away, we have a wide selection of dog-friendly short breaks in Devon where the four-legged members of the family can join in the fun too.
If you’re looking to escape the realities of everyday life, our short Devon breaks could be just the tonic. And our luxury weekend breaks offer extra slices of indulgence to make your stay even more special, with the likes of hot tubs, roll-top baths, crackling wood burners and four-poster beds on offer - perfect for a romantic break away with your loved one.
