A holiday in the West Country does not have to break the bank. A self-catering holiday cuts down on many things such as meal costs, and there are plenty of things to do for free, especially over the summer months. With beaches to rival those in Europe and some great value accommodation from award-winning Toad Hall Cottages www.toadhallcottages.co.uk it's hard to justify those flights abroad. In addition Toad Hall Cottages offer a special discount card for all guests offering up to 25% off at over 40 local attractions in Devon and Cornwall.
In the West Country the best things in life are free! There are a host of outdoor activities that won't cost you a penny such as geocaching on Dartmoor or Exmoor, cycling on miles of dedicated cycle routes; exploring the many nature reserves; visiting the lovely beaches to soak up the sun or go rock-pooling; or discovering the region on foot using literally thousands of different walking trails, including the dramatic South West Coastal Path. As well as activities there are numerous food, drink and music festivals and local events that are free to attend such as the Kingsbridge Food and Music Festival (30May – 1 June), South Devon Crab Festival (throughout August), Dartmouth Royal Regatta (29 – 30 August) and Looe Music Festival (19th-21st September)
Toad Hall Cottages have some great value accommodation across the region such as spacious Claire's Cottage in East Prawle, Devon (Sleeps up to 10, from £80pp for a week in July).
