Devon
Home to two national parks (Dartmoor and Exmoor), two glorious coastlines with superb beaches, a lush green interior, and wonderful local food and drink, Devon might just be the summer holiday destination you've been searching for. From the county town of Exeter to the so-called English Riviera of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, and the Jurassic coast to the upland moors, there's enough here to keep you busy for weeks. Take a load off after a long walk over Dartmoor and relax with a Devon cream tea. Happily, the biggest county in England's Southwest is as rich in great places to stay as you might expect. Hotels in Devon range from beautifully located boutique venues to sumptuous country houses, charming B&Bs and country inns – many also doubling up as excellent places to eat, with restaurants that are often destinations in themselves. Devon also has a host of great country cottages and self-catering properties to rent for those wanting to go it alone.Best Places to Stay in Devon Holidays – Accommodation and Places to Stay in Devon I Cool Places
