Quaint thatched cottages in Cockington

When you think of Devon, many minds immediately think of pretty thatched cottages with roses around the door. And that’s exactly what you’ll get when you stay at Cockington. Nestled in a countryside valley, it’s only a short distance from the beach. Bring the dog and walk around the huge grounds at Cockington Court. Or snuggle up by the log-fire with a drink at the Drum Inn for a romantic getaway in a holiday cottage whatever the time of the year.

Bright lights in Torquay

The biggest of our towns, Torquay truly offers something for everyone. Here you’ll find everything from Michelin-starred and award winning restaurants to late-night fast food that hits the spot after a night on the town. Enjoy a cocktail as the sun sets over the sea at the chic Abbey Beach area or settle down with a real ale in a traditional pub. There’s boutique designer shopping side by side with high-street favourites. And from a night at the theatre to a round of crazy golf, you’ll find activities to keep everyone happy. From luxury Torquay hotels and self-catering apartments to relaxed guesthouses and B&B’s that feel like a home from home, you’ll find your perfect place to stay in Torquay.

Family-fun in Paignton

Paignton has always been a top-pick with the bucket and spade brigade. There’s a pick of clean and safe beaches, including the wonderful Goodrington Sands and Broadsands. And you’ll discover lots to see and do when you’ve had enough of the beach. The amusements on Paignton Pier, the multiplex Torbay cinema, a water park, Paignton Zoo, and lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants mean you’ll never be stuck for things to do within easy distance of your Paignton hotel, B&B or holiday cottage.

Foodies and fishing in Brixham

High quality restaurants serving up the best of the day’s catch attract serious foodies to Brixham. And there are lots of things to do when you want to work up an appetite. Explore the shops that wind along cobbled streets from the harbour. Take a walk at Berry Head nature reserve and look out to sea to spot dolphins and seals. Or enjoy a spot of crabbing off the breakwater. Retaining the feel of a traditional Devon fishing village, you can stay in a luxury Brixham hotel, a cosy B&B or a pretty white-washed self catering holiday cottage. And thanks to the way the houses snake up the hill, you’ll find spectacular sea views at almost every turn.

Stunning views and a village-atmosphere in Babbacombe

Just a few minutes drive from the hustle and bustle of Torquay, you’ll find Babbacombe. Popular with families and couples, you can enjoy the village-like laid-back atmosphere, a wide choice of fabulous places to eat, and stunning views from the Babbacombe Downs. On a fine day you can see as far as Weymouth. Brave the steps down to the beach or get a lift with the Babbacombe Cliff Railway, which has been shuttling visitors up and down the cliff since 1926. Stay in a hotel in Babbacombe with a sea view, one of our lovely bed and breakfasts, or set your own pace when you stay in self-catering accommodation.
