Luxury holiday cottages in Devon
From wild moorlands to sun-dappled coves, Devon is a land of quiet drama and striking contrasts. Whether you're tracing its rugged coastline, wandering rolling hills or ancient woodland, our collection of luxury holiday cottages offers a restorative way to experience the rhythm of the landscape.
The coast of Devon is alive with activity: paddle-boarders glide through the shallows of the South Hams, while further north, surfers chase rolling waves along expansive beaches and Exmoor reveals dramatic cliff walks and sweeping sea views. For a slower pace, quiet coves reward walkers with sheltered spots for a refreshing swim, while villages like Appledore echo the charm of nostalgic British seaside holidays. Inland, the tors of Dartmoor rise from gorse-covered hills, their rugged granite silhouettes drawing hikers, wild campers, and stargazers to the untamed heart of the county.
Whether you're planning a family holiday, romantic retreat or a celebratory gathering, our collection of homes in Devon offers restful immersion in the landscape. Stay in a waterside home with a hot tub on the River Dart, a rustic-luxe cottage, or an Arts and Crafts manor with a pool in a hidden valley near Totnes. When lunch and dinner call, seafood restaurants line the coast, while farm shops and harbourside markets brim with seasonal produce. Opt for a private chef and dine al fresco with views over Noss Mayo; think fresh oysters from the River Exe and lemon-dressed salads.
