Interested in watersports?
Love going on long, rural walks?
Looking for a foodie break?
Then you might want to book your next Devon break in the north of the county. North Devon has a beautiful coastline, which falls within the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it features the Exmoor National Park, has the perfect environment for surfing and other watersports and a whole host of quaint little towns and villages where you can find some of the best local produce in the south west.

If you are a fan of watersports, you’ll want to head to areas like Croyde Bay and Woolacombe, where the conditions are just right for riding the waves. If you want a chance to head into nature and lose yourself in the wilderness, the geopark at Braunton is the ideal location, while those of you who want to indulge in tasty food and drink will want to spend some time in Ilfracombe. Wherever you go, you’ll find plenty to see and do.

First off, here are some suggestions of places to stay. There are plenty of accommodation options, so you can easily find something that suits your taste and budget. For those of you looking for a hotel stay, take a look at some of these suggestions.

North Devon has a range of luxury hotels to choose from with several of the Brend Hotels being located there among others.

One such hotel is the Barnstaple Hotel located in the heart of North Devon’s premier town. From here you are just a fifteen minute walk into the town centre and short drive to a host of the region’s famous beaches. The Barnstaple Hotel has everything from comfortable rooms, exquisite fine dining and the best in conference facilities too.

Nearby you’ll find the Imperial Hotel, the flagship of the Brend Hotels group, it has a a wonderful atmosphere with fabulous rooms and an incredible view of the River Taw. The Imperial is one of the leading luxury hotels in Barnstaple.

The Royal and Fortescue  is another Barnstaple based hotel. Having started life as an ancient coaching inn, this hotel has historic charm with all the modern comforts you’d expect from a luxury hotel. The Royal part of its name comes from when King Edward VII visited in 1856 when he was the Prince of Wales – to this day, it remains fit for a king! Plus, if you stay in one of the Brend Hotels, you can use all the facilities across the chain, no matter which one you’re staying in!

Located along the River Taw is the Park Hotel, which following a multi-million pound redevelopment, this hotel is an exciting new hub for visitors and locals alike. Just opposite Rock Park and along the river, you have wonderful views of beautiful green spaces whatever room you stay in. There is even charging points for electric vehicles as well as the bedrooms being fitted with smart TVs, Sky, power showers and high speed WiFi. The rooms even have smartphone entry!

In Umberleigh you’ll find Highbullen Hotel Golf and Country Club which has been provided excellent accommodation for years, it is well placed for visiting some of the area’s popular attractions and with the onsite tennis and golf facilities, it is a great place for relaxing. 

If you’re someone who likes both coast and country, Heddons Gate Hotel  is an ideal choice. Based on the outskirts of Barnstaple, this hotel is hidden away among acres of greenspace while also providing easy access to the South West Coast Path, plus it is located between Lynton and Combe Martin, giving you two stunning coastal areas to visit.

For more coast than country, make sure to check out Saunton Sands Hotel  which is located right on the front of one of the region’s award winning beaches.

The hotel also features its own swimming pool, gym, sauna, tennis courts, hairdressing and beauty facilities, restaurant and more.

For those of you who want to be right on the coast and love a dramatic view, the Hartland Quay Hotel is definitely one you need on your radar.

Ilfracombe is one of the region’s most popular seaside resorts, so if you fancy spending most of your time there, take a look at the Darnley Hotel, an independent family run establishment that retains its original features and combines them with a host of modern facilities. Ilfracombe is fast becoming one of the hotspots in the UK for foodies, so this is the ideal place to base yourself if you want to experience everything that the town’s independent eateries have to offer!

Another popular spot is Woolacombe. This town has a host of accommodation options including Trimstone Country House Hotel which is on the outskirts in West Down.

It’s ideal if you want the best of both worlds, you’re close to both Woolacombe and Ilfracombe giving you a chance to explore the beaches and get involved in the hustle and bustle of the towns and you can also escape to the peace and quiet of the hotel grounds.

Looking for an alternative to a hotel? Why not take a look at the region’s holiday parks? You get all the facilities of a hotel but with the flexibility of a self-catering accommodation, plus plenty of space and onsite entertainment. These are a great option for families or those travelling in groups or on a budget and there a host of them on the seafront, allowing you to have some incredible views and easy access to the coast.

If you like the idea of a hotel but want the flexibility when it comes to meals and something a little more informal, you might like one of the B&Bs and guesthouses based in North Devon.
