Designed for Families
If you like to take your family holidays in Devon, then you know the county is jam-packed with beautiful beaches, seaside towns, rambling countryside, and amazing attractions. It has always been a hotspot for family tourism, no matter the weather, the age of your children or their interests.
When you have children, it can often be difficult to find a holiday that suits the needs of every family member. Many places claim to be family-friendly but, in reality, are not set up for children. This can make your hard-earned family break feel stressful. When you book a family holiday with us, you can be sure that your holiday cottage will be child friendly and equipped with everything you need to relax in style and comfort.

National Parks
Devon is home to two national parks: Dartmoor National Park and Exmoor National Park. Dartmoor is famous for its beauty, mystery, and ponies. Enjoy a walk, cycle, swim, or horse ride across the extensive moorland. Take up letterboxing or enjoy geocaching as you explore the outdoors as a family. Dartmoor is also home to a treasure trail that will keep all ages entertained, involving mystery inspired by the book ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’. The trail is one of many that is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Exmoor is home to expansive moorland, rolling farmland and wooded valleys. Explore by foot or by bike on the various trails. Enjoy farm tours or dip your toes in the water. Both moorlands offer the perfect day out for a hike, picnic or even a dip in a stream on your family holidays to Devon.
