North Devon is a wonderful part of the world to visit; famous for its brilliant beaches, intricate little villages and cycling routes. There are many things you can do when you visit for a weekend, or maybe spend a week’s holiday there; but choosing where you are going to stay is the first step. North Devon has an eclectic selection of different accommodation types, each of which cater to a different type of person. So whether you are looking for a small hotel room, or a vast holiday park in North Devon, there should be a place for you.

Hotels

Hotels don’t exactly need a lot of explanation. Whilst some talk about it as if it’s a dirty word within the world of tourism, Hotels can be extremely useful when it comes to visiting somewhere. You can often book at short notice and be provided with a place to stay that allows you to explore wonderful locations like North Devon. You can use them as little more than a bed and four walls, or spend full days there enjoying the extensive facilities that some hotels offer. 

Holiday Parks

Made famous by the emergence of Butlins, the Holiday park has a unique place within the British consciousness. Talking about a holiday park as a form of accommodation doesn’t really make sense, as it serves a much larger purpose than just as a place to stay for the night. It’s about a location. Woolacombe bay and its resort attracts many holiday goers due to its stunning views out onto the sea. The benefit you get as part of staying at a holiday park like this is the ability to walk directly to the beach from your room. 

You can also enjoy adrenaline filled activities without needing to drive long distances like you might normally need to whilst at home. This can range from fun water flume rides to adventure trails that can be explored on a Segway safari. Or if you are more interested in a relaxing time, you could sit back and enjoy yourself at the Cinema, chill with the aid of a spa pool and sauna room, or take your mind off of the daily rat race by doing some calming art and craft’s activities like pottery painting. 

Serviced Apartments

Serviced apartments are an increasingly popular form of accommodation, but they are still less well known in comparison to your typical hotel or AirBnB. On a basic level, a serviced apartment is what it says on the tin; it is an apartment that is fully furnished, available for both short-term or long-term stays, and supported with a variety of services such as cleaning. In this way it provides you with a place to stay that feels lived in and functional, but also can provide you with the services that a hotel experience provides. 

Hopefully this guide to the types of accommodation in North Devon can open your eyes to the different sorts of places you could stay on your next trip, rather than defaulting to scouring the list of properties on AirBnb.
