Summer is nearly upon – in fact we are all enjoying the last fling of Spring here at Cofton!  At this time of the year,  Cofton Country begins to come to life.  The sun is finally shining!  In Cofton itself, we have begun to open the facilities such as The Swan Pub and mini-market in preparation for another busy summer.

Each year we welcome people coming to us to enjoy “their slice of Devon” for a week or two as they unwind with us and enjoy a family holiday.  Devon is a special place for thousands of families for so many reasons.

The self catering cottages and luxury apartments have already welcomed visitors to the area who have come for relaxing breaks to enjoy the scenery, stroll down to the local pubs for some hearty meals and local ales.  Others are here to make the most of some of the many attractions such as Crealy Great Adventure Parks, Woodlands, Pennywell Farm and some of the many beaches that we have to offer.

For those on a tight budget but wanting a break in Devon, our holiday homes can offer a real home from home – with all the privacy of a cottage.

Devon’s reputation for good food, great weather and breathtaking scenery keeps families coming back for more each year.  Cofton has been welcoming families coming back year after year to unwind and capture the very best of the region during the warm summer months.

Fishing holidays offer fishing enthusiasts the opportunity to leave their daily worries behind to enjoy days upon end coarse fishing around our large fishing lakes, whilst drinking in the surrounding wildlife and tranquillity.

Here at Cofton Country Holidays we are fortunate to have five large lakes which have attracted fishing fans throughout the year.  Surrounded by gentle Devon countryside and peppered with a number of cosy pubs – the lakes are one of the many reasons that people book their coarse fishing holiday with Cofton.

Luscombe and Trusham Lakes are our specimen carp lakes and it is not unusual to catch a nice large fish.  Our largest carp to date has weighed in at a massive 28lbs.  Our three other lakes: Mamhead, Powderham and Ashcombe Pools are teaming with carp (however, they tend to be smaller in these lakes, weighing up to 9lbs).

Whilst Dad spends the day fishing, the rest of the family enjoy many of the woodland walks, onsite facilities such as the swimming pool which is open in the summer months, fresh food from one of our local pubs; or even a spot of shopping, followed by a lunch in the heart of Exeter City Centre which is a mere 20 minute drive away from the peaceful surroundings of Cofton.
