Self-Catering Cottages in South Devon

When you think of Devon, does the mind turn to the rolling green hills packed with farms with sheep and lambs within the patchwork fields, the rugged moorland of Dartmoor, or stunning beaches, many of which are considered to be among the best in the world?
Many holidaymakers arrived at Devon for just such scenery, and the experiences such locations can provide, from cycling down country lanes to picnics around the moors or combing rockpools for crabs and also other marine life.
One the simplest way to see South Devon is with a self-catering luxury cottage like a base camp. Unlike a traditional, plain accommodation with the "same old" four walls and decor, you can get an incredible a sense enjoyment and fun just from renting a special cottage saved in a village or hamlet inside South Hams area of South Devon. Perhaps you'll spend the night in the luxury cottages Cornwall thatched cottage near Salcombe, a converted barn near Dartmouth or perhaps a country cottage near Kingsbridge. No matter what requirements you might have, including travelling with quite a few young children and needing a large cottage or farmhouse, or with dogs and needing dog-friendly self-catering accommodation, there's an adequate selection of cottages along with other self-catering accommodation to choose from in the South Devon area.
Of course, it's likely that your "home from home" will probably be off the beaten track. Unless you're inside the middle of the few towns inside the South Hams like Dartmouth, Kingsbridge or Ivybridge, you will be "out in the sticks", which means you will end up able to open your front door, take inside spectacular scenery, as well as set off on a walk, hike, cycling ride, or perhaps a quick drive on the beach, or moors. One of the most famous local walks will be the South Coast Walk along the South West Coastal Path, which runs for the total of 630 miles round the Westcountry. Several designated walks fall into the South Hams area, and will likely be near your lodgings. For example, Salcombe to Bolt Head is really a 3 mile walk through a landscape of rocky spires and pinnacles with inspiring views!
If you're within driving distance, you'll not have to worry about catching flights from airports, either about the way to or from Devon, that can take away one of the greatest stresses of your holiday! You can please take a leisurely drive down over the counties with the West Country, perhaps stopping off at the pub for a normal ploughman's lunch before going to your self-catering cottage or other accommodation.
