DEVON WINTER BREAKS

What could be better than snuggling up inside a cosy pub in the colder months after a walk along the beach? With gorgeous wintery scenes surrounding you, plenty of independent boutiques to browse, and hearty seasonal dishes, winter is the perfect time to visit Devon.

A change of scene is sure to shake away the endless chill of the colder months. And, while clear skies are always more desirable, a few potential showers shouldn’t put you off from planning your next escape to Devon.  

Royal Castle, Dartmouth

Located in the heart of Dartmouth, the Royal Castle enjoys a landmark location with enviable views over the water. Where the river meets the sea, Dartmouth offers the perfect balance for all manner of days out, with the waterside providing a little respite while the town remains buzzes with life, even outside of peak summer.

Discover one of England’s most beautiful fortresses, having guarded the Dart estuary for over 600 years. There’s plenty to do inside the castle, and if the weather stays in your favour, why not take to the river on a boat trip and make a day of it?

If you’re keen to do a little more exploring of the surrounding area, try the Dartmouth Steam Railway, running between Torquay and Totnes. Grab your seat and soak up the views as either the coal-fired paddle steamer or one of the vintage steam engines gently chugs to your chosen destination.

Dating back to the 17th century, the Royal Castle is the ideal hideaway to cosy up in the winter with hotel-style rooms and a stylish restaurant/bar. Enjoy a winter break in Dartmouth, exploring the great outdoors before retreating to the comfort of our pub.

 

Hope & Anchor, Hope Cove

Recently refurbished, it doesn’t get much better than the Hope & Anchor for a cosy break. This magical bolthole, just a stone’s throw from golden sands if you’re feeling brave enough for a dip, offers individually designed boutique bedrooms you won’t want to leave at the end of your stay.

Just five miles from Salcombe, Hope Cove could be the hidden gem you’ve been searching for. And, while the beach may be the focus in this little slice of South Devon, that doesn’t mean it’s not a top pick for the colder months. With its gin-clear waters, and soft, golden sands backed by rugged cliffs, the picture-perfect fishing village is a stunning spot year-round. Wrap up warm before taking to the coastal path, with a variety of routes to suit all abilities – from a quick stomp to South Milton Sands to a day-long hike towards Salcombe.

Warm your feet beside the fire after a day of exploring along the coast as the night draws in and the sun sets on the day. With an array of seasonal dishes to tantalise your tastebuds, enjoy paired with a tipple or two before drifting into a deep slumber tucked into our boujee bolthole bedrooms.

Perched on the waterfront, the Rock Point Inn serves as a fantastic base for your stay – whether it’s a romantic retreat, winter family getaway to reset, or a solo stay with your four-legged friend.

It’s hard to paint a more tranquil picture than Lyme Regis.
