Devon Accommodation

Devon Accommodation: Devon, Plymouth, Torquay and Exeter Accommodation

Exeter accommodation is arguably the most sought after in Devon and it can be found in a variety of different forms. Hotels are the most recognisable type of Devon accommodation, and these are the most popular amongst visitors to Devon. Tourists can also choose to stay in B&B’s, cottages, flats or apartments, and at campsites should they wish to do so. All of these and more are listed on iknow-devon.co.uk. Devon is one of the largest counties in the UK, is largely rural, and is home to both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks. The main tourist hotspots are in Plymouth, Torquay and Exeter and like many of the southern counties the sandy beaches and relatively warm climate make them ideal for a summer holiday.

Devon Hotels – Torquay Hotels, Exeter Hotels, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, Plymouth

There are a large number of Torquay hotels in Torquay, Devon. Torquay actually forms part of the Torbay conurbation, which is a unitary authority and is often referred to as the English Riviera thanks to its many beaches and moderate climate. Brixham and Paignton can both be found here. Exeter hotels are also popular and Exeter is the county town of Devon. The quality of hotels is largely reflected in the price that you might be expected to pay for a nights stay. There is also a star rating system in place wherein hotels are awarded a score of between one and five stars to show the standard of service and facilities on offer at the respective hotel. Ilfracombe hotels and Woolacombe hotels of all standards offer easy access to the seaside and all of the attractions that can be found there. Plymouth, on the other hand, is the largest city in Devon and Plymouth hotels not only provide access to the coast, but also a host of shops and city centre attractions.

Devon Cottages: Holiday Cottages in Devon, UK

A self catering alternative to the hotel involves staying at one of the many Devon cottages. The facilities offered in each cottage will be different and it is worth considering what you would need before booking. Cottages in Devon are generally of a high standard, although in the winter some may become more isolated and this is worth considering. For holiday cottages Devon is an excellent location, children are allowed at most of the properties whilst some owners might permit you to bring your pets too. Woolacombe cottages are some of the most popular in Devon and the seaside cottages there are highly recommended.

Holiday Parks in Devon, Caravan Parks and Campsites in Devon, UK

There is an enviable selection of campsites in Devon, particularly in popular seaside destinations like Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Torquay.

On-site at a Torquay holiday park you will find plenty to keep you amused and there are normally a selection of off-site activities and facilities near to any caravan or holiday park.

Self Catering Devon, Self Catering in Devon, UK

For self catering Devon is a fine choice, and there are a variety of self catering cottages and flats and apartments to be found across Devon. There is also the opportunity to book self catering holidays at caravan and holiday parks in places like Torquay, Ilfracombe and Plymouth. Self catering is generally a cheaper option and enables you to save money that could be better spent on fun activities to do during your holiday.

Devon Bed and Breakfast: Plymouth Bed and Breakfast, Exeter, Torquay, Exmouth, Ilfracombe

There is a differentiation made between bed and breakfast accommodation and B&B’s on iknow-devon.co.uk. The former can refer to any property that is able to offer a room for the night as well as breakfast in the morning. So bed and breakfast Plymouth accommodation could refer to a hotel, B&B, guest house, hostel or other property that provides a bed and breakfast service. A B&B in Devon is a variety of bed and breakfast Devon accommodation then, whilst for bed and breakfast Exeter is a prime destination. Bed and breakfast Exmouth properties are also popular in East Devon and again the principle attractions are to be found at the seafront.

B&B Plymouth, B&B Exeter, B&B Torquay Accommodation in Devon

B&B Plymouth properties are a specific type of bed and breakfast accommodation that are known for their relatively small size, welcoming atmospheres and general personalised service. This applies for B&B’s in general and there is a broad selection of such properties in Devon. For a B&B Exeter is a good choice as there are many to choose from, and these are often family-owned with friendly staff on hand to offer sound advice and information about the local area. B&B Torquay accommodation is also popular and the properties themselves are often to be found in the form of extensions to private houses or farms. Guest houses are very similar to B&B’s, with the only difference being that they are able to accommodate a few more paying guests at any one time and perhaps offer a few more services. Some tourists might choose to stay at an Exmouth B&B or even at an Ilfracombe B&B – the choice in Devon is excellent.

Flats to Rent in Plymouth, Exeter, Torquay – Devon Apartments and Flats

Devon apartments and flats are available across the region, but more so in the major towns and cities like Plymouth, Exeter and Torquay. There are many holiday flats to rent in Plymouth for example, and flats and apartments are an excellent self catering option for groups, families and couples. There are also a number of available flats to rent in Exeter be these for short or long term stays during midweek, at weekends or simply for overnight stays.

Devon Pubs in Devon: Exeter, Pubs in Plymouth and Torquay Inns and Lodges

There are a huge number of Devon pubs scattered around the region and a number of these will offer accommodation as well as traditional British real ale. Pubs in Plymouth are highly recommended and will often serve traditional Devon cider. Pubs in Exeter also generally do good business and often offer good pub food as well as a variety of real ales.

Short breaks in Devon, Weekend Breaks in Devon, UK

Accommodation providers in Devon will often offer special deals at particular weekends and in general short breaks in Devon are becoming increasingly popular, be these during midweek or at the weekends. Weekend breaks in Devon can be enjoyed at hotels, B&B’s, guest houses or cottages. Devon is an excellent venue for romantic weekend breaks, city breaks and Devon golf weekend breaks.

When searching for accommodation on iknow-devon.co.uk you are able to narrow your search according to accommodation type and speciality. They type refers literally to different forms of accommodation – the likes of hotels, B&B’s and cottages. The specialities refer more to the facilities that a property is able to offer, or niche markets that they may cater for. Properties can belong to only one type, but can belong to an unlimited number of specialities. Many of these types and specialities have been described in the text above, although increased detail on each, as well as information about a whole host of additional types and specialities is available on the regional site itself.
