Clotted cream ahoy! Devon cottages for your holiday

For the overall picture of how your idyllic spell in Devonshire could be, have a look at the Marsdens website, with its cottage showcase, blog entries written about the area and the ability to check last minute availability of accommodation in the county. The uniquely named 'Jackdaw Cottage' in the area of Umberleigh is available from £306 per week, in a very picturesque part of Devon and with its two bedrooms, it can sleep four people including your pets! At the 'Harbour Roost' cottage in Lynmouth, four people can enjoy their stay from as little as £315 a week.

If you've left the organisation a little bit to the last minute, then worry not just head over to Next 4 Weeks, which as the name suggests, contains details of offers that can be used at a moment's notice. For example, you could be staying at the Three Gates Farm in one of its many converted cottages from as little as £470 per week, where up to four people can sleep. The farm sits over two acres of ground, complete with indoor swimming pool, sauna area and fitness room. Cottages come equipped with flat-screen tvs, dish-washers and wifi internet access.

At Powells Cottage Holidays, take advantage of a great opportunity to stay in Barnstaple in Devon, supposedly the oldest borough in the UK! The Coach House Cottage in the area can be yours for a holiday from as little as £296, which includes use of the converted cottage's enclosed garden, colour tv and all mod-cons.
