Incredible Christmas Breaks In Devon
Devon is renowned for its year-round mild climate, breathtaking
scenery and delicious local produce, all the right ingredients
for a very special Christmas break. Enjoy a cliff top walk to
blow away the cobwebs, have a round of golf on one of South
Devon's glorious links courses, take a Boxing Day dip off
Blackpool Sands where you can enjoy a cup of hot chocolate in
the beach cafe, or indulge in a pampering session at the spa.
Whatever you chose to do during your Christmas break, Devon is
a magical place to spend it.
Coast and Country have a huge range of sumptuous properties to
ensure you'll find the perfect place to spend your Christmas
breaks in Devon. From cosy thatched cottages with roaring logs
fires, to roomy barn conversions, or from stylish waterside
apartments with gym and spa to rambling country houses that can
accommodate several generations of an extended family, Coast
and Country can provide your dream getaway location. Some
properties will even provide Christmas trees and
decorations!
Last minute Christmas shopping is easily sorted locally in the
numerous individual gift shops and boutiques, or with a trip to
one of the new shopping centres in Plymouth or Exeter. Look
locally for special Christmas markets and late-night shopping
events. Farm shops are excellent for sourcing the ingredients
for your Christmas dinner, as well as other local specialities
such as cider and cheeses.
Salcombe remains a popular destination for Christmas breaks in
Devon. The pretty streets of candy-coloured houses, stylish
shops, galleries and restaurants make this an ideal base with
plenty on offer including two beaches in the town itself and
plenty of opportunity for sailing or other waterborne
activities. Higher Collaton cottage, which sleeps six, is just
five minute's drive from Salcombe and within easy reach of the
popular fishing village of Hope Cove, perfect for a spot of
Christmas beach combing!

babysitting, on-site catering for evening meals and even a
personal trainer!
The South Hams (at the southernmost tip of Devon) is renowned
as an area of outstanding natural beauty, with unspoilt
beaches, stunning coastal walks and a wide choice of good pubs
offering locally produced food and beer - no wonder it's such a

UK.
