Devon and Cornwall accommodation and places to visit

For me Devon and Cornwall bring back memories of happy childhood holidays on a farm near Launceston, chasing kittens, running from cows and making dens amongst the hay bales. With the current poor exchange rate against the Euro, Devon and Cornwall have become the ideal family holiday destination. SANDY BEACHES ARE EVERYWHERE


There is so much to see and do for children and adults alike and the scenery is beautiful enough to rival the best that mainland Europe can offer. Whether its surfing, sailing or swimming; old mines, steam trains, wildlife or theme parks that interests you, Devon and Cornwall has it all, including, of course, cream teas!

Below you will find details of places to visit and places to stay with links to their websites allowing you to book online. Have a great holiday.
