Many of us have fond memories of family holidays in Devon or even the odd short family break during the half-term periods in the Spring and Autumn terms.   Such memories always seem to include the milder climate, great food and gentle pace of life.
As one of those people, such was my passion for the area that I decided to move here post my “London stint” and haven’t regretted a single day.  I still look forward to the half-terms though as many friends bring down their families for a short break.  We go around the Devon region enjoying the many family attractions, the diverse nature of the area from the Moors (and long walks) to strolls on the beach at Dawlish and further afield.  When we are unable to accommodate our guests, we suggest that they book into one of the self-catering cottages in the nearby village of at Cofton Country Holiday Cottages.
Cofton Country Holidays Park is close to Exeter and even closer to Dawlish, nestled in the rolling hills of the Devon countryside offering self-catering cottages with that home-from-home feel.  Kick off your shoes after a hard days shopping or stick the kettle on to warm everybody up after a fun couple of hours on Dawlish beach or the Moors.
Devon also attracts many families for its wealth of regional food and Cofton is close to a number of great eateries from The Rodean Restaurant in Kenton (a short drive away) which is renowned for its exclusive menu and a la carté menus to one of favourites, a cosy, traditional British pub called The Anchor at Cockwood, its daily menu includes locally caught fish throughout the season (and dependant on weather).
Another great pub is The Ship, also located in Cockwood and is popular during the cold winter months with its roaring open fire – it also has a seated area just outside overlooking the small harbour and is a great place to watch the sun setting later in the year and you do see many a walker sitting outside in the winter months too!  Both The Anchor and The Ship are just on the doorstep of Cofton and are about 15 minutes away (an ideal stroll to burn off a few of those calories!)
This February Half-Term, Cofton Country Holidays has a number of great deals for those who are looking for high standards at reasonable prices.  From only £125 for three nights, or stay for a week at just £250 – Cofton offers a relaxing family break in Devon.
