Getting To Devon
By Car
The most convenient way of getting to and around Devon is by car. Although there are public train and bus services, they don't go everywhere and frequency can be limited, especially on Sundays. And with so many gorgeous places to stay out in the countryside and by the sea, they might be a little harder to get to. Travelling by car also means that you can get out and about, visiting some of the region's popular tourist attractions like Paignton Zoo Environmental Park and Crealy Theme Park, or go exploring and find some quieter beaches.
By Train
The main city in Devon is Exeter, so you'll probably be arriving into, or will need to change trains here at Exeter St Davids or Exeter Central. From here, you can head up to places like Barnstaple on the north coast, Okehampton on the border of Dartmoor National Park, or head down to the south coast seaside towns of Exmouth, Dawlish, Torquay and Paignton. Depending on where you are staying, you might then need to jump in a taxi if you holiday cottage is not close to public transport.
Holiday Parks
Although a self catering cottage can feel like a home away from home, if you prefer to have a few facilities on-site, like restaurant, entertainment and even a swimming pool, Devon's holiday parks can be a really good alternative, especially if you're on a family holiday. Popular resorts like Haven Devon Cliffs, John Fowler South Bay and Park Holidays UK Golden Sands are great options to take a look at.
