Spring Breaks

You don’t have to wait until the summer to enjoy the best of what South Devon has to offer. The sheltered position and mild climate of the English Riviera means that the region is the perfect destination at any time of year. Spring in South Devon is particularly beautiful, when the countryside bursts into a vibrant tapestry of colour. Spring also tends to come early to this sheltered part of the country, and from early April onwards the weather can be warm, sunny and mild.

Out of season breaks

The weather may be starting to hot up, but out of the school summer holidays you’ll find that Spring in South Devon remains a relaxing place to be, away from the crowds.

Because the region is protected by Dartmoor to the north-west, the English Riviera enjoys a microclimate that means even the early days of spring are milder than in the rest of the country. This gives you a perfect opportunity to explore the great outdoors and discover bluebell woods, carpets of crocuses and a host of other glorious sights. If you want to make the most of the great outdoors and get out walking with your pet pooch, look for dog-friendly accommodation across Torbay.

Great transport links to the rest of the UK, and further afield mean that destinations like Torquay, Brixham, Paignton and Babbacombe are accessible all year round.

Off peak accommodation

Unlike many other ‘seasonal’ regions, the English Riviera is a year round destination. The vast majority of our award-winning accommodation, including boutique hotels and airy self-catering cottages, welcome visitors throughout the year. You’ll also find that many offer off-peak deals that make the English Riviera a real value-for-money destination. Choose from luxury modern apartments with sea views in Torquay, Babbacombe or Brixham. Or sample a slice of rural country living in a traditional cottage complete with thatched roof and a garden full of spring flowers in Cockington.

No matter what time of year you choose to visit South Devon, there is one thing you can be certain of and that’s a warm welcome.
