What Makes a Self Catering Holiday in Devon Special?

Self catering holidays have become increasingly popular because they allow guests to enjoy complete freedom during their stay. Unlike hotels, self catering accommodation gives you the flexibility to dine when you like, plan your days at your own pace, and enjoy a true home-from-home experience.

What’s more, Devon is the ideal destination for a self catering break thanks to its diverse landscapes and attractions. From the rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park and the picturesque South Devon coast to charming market towns and family-friendly attractions, there is always something to see and do.

Staying in an award-winning self catering cottage also provides the space and comfort needed to unwind, whether you’re travelling as a couple, family, or group of friends.

With that in mind, here are some of our top recommendations:

Let off Steam with a Hot Tub

Nothing says relaxation quite like sinking into a bubbling hot tub after a day spent exploring Devon’s beaches, countryside trails, and attractions. Several of our cottages and lodges feature private outdoor hot tubs, so you can add an extra touch of luxury to your holiday.

What’s even better is that many of the hot tubs are undercover, so you can enjoy them throughout the year, whatever the weather. Whether you’re watching the sunset on a summer evening or enjoying a warm soak on a crisp winter night, a hot tub provides the perfect opportunity to switch off and unwind.

For couples seeking romance or families looking for a special treat, a hot tub holiday offers the ultimate way to relax.

Discover a Hidden Winter Wonderland

Devon isn’t just a summer destination. Winter offers a completely different kind of charm, with quieter beaches, peaceful countryside walks, cosy pubs (the closest to us only a mile away), and festive events creating the perfect atmosphere for a seasonal escape.

A winter break at Little Dunley Cottages allows you to enjoy all the comforts of self catering accommodation while experiencing Devon at its most peaceful. After a day exploring, you can return to your warm and welcoming cottage, settle in for the evening, and enjoy quality time with family or friends.

It gets better:

The festive season brings even more reasons to visit. Popular Christmas markets in Exeter and Plymouth offer festive shopping, seasonal food and drink, and a wonderful atmosphere. These events create the perfect backdrop for a memorable Christmas or New Year break.
