Getting To Devon
By Car
Exploring Devon by car is one of the best ways to discover some of the county's hidden gems, especially if you want to visit some of Devon's quieter and lesser known towns and beaches. If you're driving, you'll likely arrive via the M5 motorway but if you're heading to Devon for the weekend, watch out for traffic. The motorway can get pretty busy on Friday and Sunday afternoons and evenings and people arrive and leave for their weekend breaks.
By Coach
If you're enjoying a coach holiday, you'll obviously arrive into Devon by coach and likely won't have to worry about getting about once there. Coach holidays to Devon will usually include itineraries that take you to all the hotspots.
If you're taking the National Express, you'll probably be heading to Exeter, ideal for a city break in Devon but you might want to explore a bit more. So other buses and trains will take you onwards to other destinations within Devon. National Express have upgraded their coaches to include free WiFi and VUER, their entertainment programme to keep you occupied on long journeys.
By Train
Travelling to Devon by train is by far one of the easiest ways to get there, however, train fares can be a little high. If you're travelling from London, try the slightly longer journey from Waterloo which is likely to cost a little less. Exeter is, again, the hub for train arrivals into Devon, but from there, you can connect onto popular seaside resorts like Paignton and Torquay, Exmouth, Barnstaple and on to Plymouth.
By Plane
Exeter airport is served by a number of airlines including Flybe and Ryanair, and offers flights to Devon from Manchester, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Glasgow, Belfast and Jersey, so if you're travelling from further afield, you might want to consider the quicker option of flying. Keep in mind any luggage you might be bringing, as well as any additional costs, especially when booking with low cost airlines.
From Exeter airport, you can take the 56 bus, which travels between Exmouth and Exeter St Davids train station, stopping at Exeter airport along the way. You can also hire a car from the airport which is a good option if you want to have a bit more freedom when exploring Devon.
Unique Stays In Devon
When enjoying a staycation, you might automatically think of caravan parks or holiday cottages, but there are some fantastic unusual and unique stays in Devon to try out too. From quirky windmills and floating pods, to shepherds lodges and tree houses, there are so many tantalisingly interesting places to stay.
How about Bertram's Hotel, neart Hartland in north Devon, which offers guests the chance to sleep in a quirky, converted red London bus, or maybe you would prefer the secluded Woodpecker Treehouse near Totnes in south Devon, where you can enjoy being amongst the trees with your very own hot tub?
