Think of Devon, and think of cottage holidays. Think of cottage holidays, and think of Devon. Devon and cottage holidays go together like strawberries and cream … or should we say strawberries and scones? Not forgetting lashings of clotted Devon cream of course!
Thatched cottages, cream teas, and rolling hills, surrounded by miles of spectacular coastline are what holidays in Devon are all about, and although Devon Self Catering.net endeavours to represent the full range of self catering holiday options available, it is impossible not to give special mention to the vast array of excellent self catering holiday cottages spread far and wide throughout the county, many of which have received multiple star awards from the English Tourist Board.
Many of these delightful properties also serve as ‘part-time homes’ for their owners, so you can be sure that the facilities on offer in their cottages are nothing less than they themselves would expect to find in their own home. Exposed beams, inglenook fires with bread ovens, en-suite bedrooms, satellite TV and fully fitted kitchens are just some of the superb facilities provided, with some proprietors even offering free internet access for those who simply can’t bear to be away from the office for more than a couple of hours, even though they're on holiday!
Self catering holiday cottages in Devon vary in size and location from tiny fisherman’s cottages on the harbourside, to family sized converted granaries and water mills deep in the countryside, some retaining many of their original fixtures and fittings, although we understand it’s not quite possible to mill your own flour, bake your own scones, and serve up your very own ‘Original Devon Cream Teas’ just yet.
Contrary to popular belief, many Devon cottages will accept well behaved pets (usually by prior arrangement) which are sometimes less welcome at larger establishments or where other animals may be present, and the majority of cottage owners also include bed linen and electricity within the original price. Some owners are so anxious for their guests to settle into their holiday quickly, that they will even provide a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival.
With all their charm and excellent facilities, it’s easy to see why
self catering holidays in Devon cottages are such an attractive proposition,
and although there are so many superb properties to choose from, we are confident
that visitors to Devon Self Catering.net will soon narrow their choice down
to a personalised ‘select few’, by entering a few simple details
into our easy to use Tailored Search Facility.
