Thatched holiday cottages to rent in Devon

Devon is one of the UK’s largest counties making it a fantastic place to rent a holiday cottage. Steeped in history and tradition, Devon is packed with rural villages and market towns where there are plenty of thatched cottages to rent, allowing you to embrace the country cottage holiday. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun-filled holiday by the sea or friends looking to chill out and enjoy a more leisurely pace of life, Devon has something for everyone. With long, sandy beaches on the north and south coasts, you can build sandcastles and surf the waves before returning to one of our picture-postcard thatched holiday cottages in Devon to enjoy the rural tranquillity. Alternatively, you could join the South West Coast Path and enjoy the stunning sea views and dramatic ruggedness.

With five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s no wonder that visitors are returning to the region time and time again. Devon is also home to two national parks, Exmoor and Dartmoor, both of which have very different landscapes and terrain; choosing a thatched cottage in the heart of rural mid-Devon will allow you to explore them both. Surfers may prefer, Woolacombe and Croyde in North Devon, which both have plenty to see and do; Croyde is also home to the popular pub and hang out, The Thatch. In the south, the coast path connects traditional seaside towns and villages, which are all packed with thatched cottages by the sea, such as Seaton, Teignmouth, Dartmouth and Salcombe.
