Whether you want to go to the beach with your family and four-legged friend, explore the countryside as a solo traveller or relax in a hot tub after a long day of exploring, you won’t struggle to find a lodge or log cabin that ticks the right boxes.

Devon Area Guide

Located on the southwest of England, Devon is known for its landscapes, and those landscapes aren’t the same across the board. In fact, the scenery around you varies hugely depending on where in Devon you are. The county is surrounded by two coastlines - the dramatic Atlantic coast to the north, and the calmer English Channel coast to the south - and has two national parks, Dartmoor and Exmoor. This is where the balance of coastal charm and countryside tranquility comes from.

Regardless of what you’re looking for from a holiday destination, Devon has something to offer; you can drive a short distance and say goodbye to sandy beaches and hello to open moorland. One minute you’ll be enjoying the rugged coastline and surf-friendly beaches of North Devon, and the next you’ll be exploring the beautiful seaside towns and coves of South Devon. Then, it’s on to the hiking, nature and stunning views found in Dartmoor National Park. One of the simplest ways to enjoy all of this is by staying in luxury lodges in Devon, which do a fantastic job of balancing comfort, peace and high-end finishes.
