Short breaks in Devon

Short breaks and long weekends away in Devon

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.
