With the recent economic downturn, more people are considering the idea of self-catering accommodation as an alternative to the traditional hotel holiday – so why not head to South Devon for your staycation?

The choice to ‘holiday at home’ means that lots of people are finally seeing what amazing holidays the UK has to offer. South Devon has always been a popular choice and there is plenty of self-catering accommodation to suit all budgets.

Not only does self-catering accommodation help to keep the costs down, but it also gives you more control over your time. Families with children are not subject to the serving times of hotel restaurants. Murphy’s Law dictates that a child will be hungry either long before or long after a hotel is serving a meal, so going self-catering means you’re back in control of mealtimes and dealing with the occasional snack-attack. And you don’t have to worry about leaving your room before housekeeping turns up either, although it might mean that you’ll have to organise a rota for the chores. For those who don’t relish the idea of cooking every day, self-catering also gives you the option to sample local fare in the region’s cafés and restaurants.

If you are bringing young children with you on your holiday to South Devon, why not check out Jigglygiraffe, who offer baby and toddler equipment hire across the South Devon area. This is a great way to enjoy a stress-free holiday as Jigglygiraffe offer everything you'll need at great low prices.

Focus on Friends and Family

Another bonus of choosing self-catering accommodation is that you can pay special attention to the type of accommodation you want and its location. The Riviera Apartments are slap-bang on the Teignmouth seafront and give you all the sea views you could wish for. Winner of five stars from Visit Britain, the Riviera Apartments are a superb selection of luxury penthouse apartments that are within easy reach of Shaldon, Dartmouth, Torbay and Dartmoor. The Medieval city of Exeter is only a short drive away, where you can indulge in a spot of retail therapy in the wealth of shops, restaurants, delis and boutiques.

Large groups of friends and family can even hire manor houses and converted barns to accommodate everyone and allow them to make the most of their time together. Agencies such as Coast and Country Cottages specialise in self-catering accommodation that will play host to groups of between two and 22 guests – some of which also welcome four-legged guests, so there’s no need to leave the pooch at home.
