Short Breaks in Devon

A short break in Devon is a wonderful way to spend a weekend or head off for a mid-week break. From romantic boutique hotels to luxurious country escapes, we offer several short breaks to Devon that guarantee to capture the imagination.

Devon is a popular destination to visit and is well-known for its breath taking coastlines, medieval towns and villages and inspiring landscapes. A walker’s paradise, Devon boasts a sublime array of coastal walks to choose from, presenting visitors the opportunity to escape the modern world and take in all that nature has to offer. Due to its warm climate and sub-tropical plants, South Devon is known as the English Riviera, stretching for 22 scenic miles along the coast. This coastline is made up of several peaceful sandy beaches, hidden coves and picturesque towns like Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. For peaceful retreats or for action-packed adventure breaks, Devon is the ideal destination. Here, travellers can embrace nature, unwind or try new activities such as surfing, waterskiing and hiking.

Two Night Break for Two

One night memorable break

With a range of locations and hotels to chose from, we opted for the Talbot Hotel in the lovely market town of Ledbury. The Talbot like many of the building in the town is a picturesque timber framed building bursting witj character. Our room was a good size and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Would definitely recommend this for an overnight break.

A lovely Anniversary Gift

A great B&B experience only an hour and half away. Close to Sheffield but far enough out to feel like a grand country house. Friendly team and comfortable surroundings. Hearty freshly cooked breakfast An half hour drive to Chatsworth House and other Derbyshire attractions.

Amazing

Me and my partner stayed in a pod and we were amazed by how nice it was. There is a lovely river as you look out the door and was very quiet and relaxing. The toilet/shower facilities were spotless. Loads to do in the area. .

relaxing night away

We combined two red letter experiences and had a wine tasting and glamping weekend in Shropshire. The pods were nicely spaced out and the owners very welcoming and friendly. Toilet and shower facilities were spotless and very good. We were not blessed with great weather so slightly more canopy/overhang on the pod to sit under would have made our evening better. The pods are compact and bijou. We had a lovely time

Sharing time with friends.

I hired 2 pods to have a special time away with ‘working’ friends. This was the perfect break away for all of us. Peaceful environment with stars at night, fire pit , BBQ, walking the Malvern hills by day, exploring local historic town and enjoying living in nature amongst the farm animals. The second night we met some like minded campers around the fire pit which added to the fun. The distance to get there was manageable from the South and on return 2 of us went by train which is only 15 minutes away. We all felt we would love to come again and do more walking and exploring.

Excellent way to spend a few hours
