Coastal Cottages Devon
Devon is the only county in England with two coasts: the spectacular north coastline and the tranquil south coastline, both part of the South West Coast Path. So it’s no surprise that the county also boasts a high number of coastal cottages, many of which are registered with Farm Stay.
Staying in one of our coastal cottages in Devon will allow you to enjoy a relaxing break by the sea. All our cottages are self catering, so you benefit from a level of independence and privacy not found at a hotel – able to come and go as you please, choosing whether to eat in or out.
From our farm-based coastal cottages it’s only a short distance to one of the many sheltered coves, long golden sandy beaches, fishing ports, historic harbours and picturesque villages that dot the Devon coastline. North of the county lies a more rugged coast with waves to suit experienced surfers and adrenalin-boosting coastal activities like kayaking, coasteering and windsurfing. There are also however gorgeous sandy beaches for bucket and spade loving families. The south coast has a more gentle seascape suiting less experienced swimmers/surfers and sandcastle builders.
Throughout the county there’s an abundance of stunning walks along cliff paths, and numerous boat trips and cruises that allow you to see the coast from a different perspective. Or you can head inland to visit one of the many historic houses, gardens, museums and other attractions.
