Country Breaks

Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset are ideal holiday locations especially if you choose to stay in the countryside. Self catering accommodation, Farmhouse B&B and camping, you’ll find them all here. So forget the routines and stresses of every day life and come and experience a more relaxing pace of life, beautiful landscapes, pretty villages and delicious home cooking.

Many farms across the region have diversified and offer visitors unique accommodation in some magical locations. Your children will love meeting, feeding and cuddling friendly farm animals, and the fresh country air will put colour into every ones cheeks! You could even choose to help out on the farm, milk some cows, herd some sheep and really earn your breakfast!

You'll be able to sample some of the finest fresh food that this country produces, whether you choose to eat at an authentic country pub or pick up your own ingredients at a local farmers market for a barbecue or picnic.

Exploring the landscape by bike or on horseback is a great way to get some exercise, and you could try an exciting outdoor activity such as rock climbing or canoeing too. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground then there are centuries old walking paths criss-crossing the region that lead to some stunning viewpoints simply not accessible by car.

Quaint English villages offer a fascinating insight into country life unchanged in many years. Explore cobbled streets, thatched cottages, ancient churches and lovely local pubs, and if that all sound like too much exercise then an afternoon fishing in the glorious sunshine is the perfect way to lose track of time.
