Luxury Self Catering Holiday Homes in Devon

This picturesque part of the world is loved for its unspoilt beaches, idyllic harbour towns and award-winning food and drink.

There’s plenty to explore in the surrounding areas. Whether it’s sampling local cheese and wine at the Sharpham Estate vineyard, or sunbathing on one of its dog-friendly beaches like Saunton Sands or Salcombe, you’ll be surrounded by turquoise water and gorgeous green countryside. 

The jam goes on second in Devon, but a cream tea is not to be missed while holidaying here.

If there’s one thing Devon is loved for, it’s the buzzing food and drink scene. Home to a handful of Michelin-star and chef-named restaurants, the county has built itself a reputation for food that champions fresh ingredients from land and sea.

Choose from fine dining at Twenty Seven in Kingsbridge and The Seahorse in Dartmouth, or hunker down in sleepy pubs and seafood bars further along the coast in Hope Cove.

Both offering gorgeous sea views while you dine, more of our favourite Devon restaurants include The Oyster Shack in Bigbury-on-Sea and Brasserie at the Bay in Torquay.

Aside from the award-winning restaurants and breath-taking beaches, there’s plenty to keep families, couples and groups of friends entertained while on holiday in Devon. 

Ask our Concierge team to book you into Salcombe Gin School for a distillery masterclass, hire a private boat to marvel at the historic Dartmouth Castle from the water, or sign the children up for tailored surf lessons with a trusted local school in Bigbury-on-Sea.

For active breaks, you’ll find beautiful scenic walks on both the north and south coasts, where you can stretch your legs over Exmoor’s countryside, or soak up majestic ocean views with the Valley of the Rocks route - perfectly placed for exploring nearby Lynton and Lynmouth.

Devon promises a packed calendar of events throughout the year, with plenty for foodies, walkers and watersports enthusiasts alike. Head to Dartmouth for the town’s buzzing annual food festival, where celebrity chef Mitch Tonks hosts three days of cookery demonstrations and workshops each October.

Or for summertime stays, soak up Salcombe’s regatta week in August. Never short of family-friendly activities, you’ll find live music, street parties, delicious food and sailing competitions.
